Here's a simple breakdown of tentative things I will be doing and times they will be done:
Arrive in Atlanta 3-ish on Wednesday, being picked up by my dad at the airport and being taken to transportation. Possibly spending afternoon at the aquarium. At a yet to be determined time, having dinner with family members in the Kennesaw area. Possibly headed to Lenny's for some karaoke and to see Shannon.
Thursday is an early lunch with Grandma and additional family members. Much Atlanta sightseeing, Piedmont Park, Highlander, L5P, etc. General meandering around town/open call for hanging out. Perhaps 80's nite? I don't have much in the way of plans except stopping in for drinks at my old work to see Pino.
Friday, free pretty much all day, in the evening drinks/dinner with my mother and her sister then to an 8 pm play starring Pino as Dracula, which if anyone would like to attend, tickets can be gotten for 10$ if you let me know in advance. The play is in the Marietta/Kennesaw area. Will be staying the night at Pino's.
Saturday, flight leaves around 5:30, but am open to brunch/dunch.
Also, if you don't have my new number it's 312-972-9025, call me if you can hang out!

| 09:54 pm - ATL visit
Dear ATL peeps:
I will be coming to town for a few days in early August with my boyfriend. August 6th to the 9th are pretty wide open for hanging out. Wednesday night I will be having dinner with my brother's and father and Friday night, I will be seeing my best friend star as Dracula in a production (which all are welcome to attend with us). Other than that, I will be free to hang out. I want to show Johnny all my old haunts and to meet all of my friends. I would also like to take him the aquarium so anyone is welcome to come too. And since there isn't a holiday (i.e. when I was home for xmas) I will be wanting to spend lots of time out so come and hang out with us! I miss you and can't wait to see everyone again!
XOXO,
Mimi

| 03:39 pm - Tidings from Chicago
I spoke to my lovely brother Jared today a realized that I was doing a poor job of keeping up-to-date with eveyone except my mother.
All is going really well here and I expect to stay here. I was working in finance, but I quit and am working in a bar full time now. It's meh, I'm looking for another job. It's possible that I might go back to the "real job world" but we'll see.
I go to art school (not currently because it's summer and I'm not trying to spend my couple of months of nice weather in a classroom, that's winter stuff). I'm trying to get another bachelor's in graphic design.
I've just started dating a nice Italian boy. It's a little queer having a boyfriend again after so many years of being single. He makes me happy which is enough for now. We're going to a wedding in Albany NY in August. Hopefully all goes well, traveling with significant others can be challenging and relationship ending.
Anyone reading this, or any of our friends are always welcome to come and visit with my. I've got a nice queen air mattress and two cozy couches. Airtran usually has decent sales (under 200$ RT) and the drive isn't that bad with a companion. Hope all is well and I miss you all bunches and hope to come home and visit soon.

All you sucka MCs ain't got nothin' on me!
On my grades, on my lines you can't touch Kevin G!
I'm a mathlete, I'm a nerd,
But forget what you heard I'm like James Bond the third,
Sh-sh-sh-shaken not stirred - I'm Kevin Gnapoor!
The G's silent when I sneak through your door.
And make love to your woman on the bathroom floor.
I don't play it like Shaggy, you'll know it was me.
Cause the next time you see her she'll be like 'OOH! KEVIN G!

| 05:46 pm - I have decided...
I'm living through hell on earth, which is defined as the most serious case of the flu I've had in at least 10 years, during the coldest days on record this winter, alone and over 700 miles away from anyone who would come take care of me or at least my dog, which robbed me not only of my day off, but now I'm missing work too. It sounds weird to upset about missing work, but it's pretty tight financially. Okay, I'm going to go wallow in my discomfort.

I have felt very much until being back in Atlanta, how little I was missing. My stream of visitors has been many as well as comforting in a new city. I have also regained two good friends from high school that time and distance had separated from me. I had not missed much in not being here. Until reading my brothers, did I realize how much it pains me to be away from my family. In a time when my familial life is crumbling away, I chose to move to Chicago and perhaps that was the wrong choice. Shouldn't I be here, sheltering my loved ones from the hurts the world so callously inflicted upon people. I knew that I would miss the joy of having friends whom I could just drop in on, brothers to stand by my side, my mother, but I never considered being missed myself. It is my adolescent low self esteem surfacing again, or maybe it was there all along, but I have never felt truly valued. I didn't believe that when I was gone, others would long for my company, that I could have endeared myself to others enough for them to wish me to be back. Needless to say, I was wrong on at least one account. While I have never had the easy relationship with Jared, that seemed flow with Fred, we have never been at odds. And he has always, under every circumstance, been there for me, whether I liked it or not and has been more than just brother and even, more than friend. Yet, being sentimental and emotional (much more than I would ever admit publicly), I felt like he was more important to me than I to him. Brother worship. He has been a hero to me, so how can I be significant enough to him? I was stunned to read that he missed me, and not just that he missed me, but that it was public. Joy of joy! To be recognized as valuable! But wait, it is a hollow revelation because I am gone. I cannot comfort him, I cannot be there to love him when he needs it. It was a truly bittersweet moment. But Thanksgiving is coming and hopefully that can give enough comfort, enough love, to mend the pieces of broken hearts until we meet again.

| 07:12 pm - Setbacks :(
Okay, so I will not be having a last hurrah at my work on Sunday, nor will I be leaving on Monday. On Thursday morning I was awoken with horrible gut wrenching pain. My good friend Clay drove me to the hospital, where after many hours of testing and laying about the ER I was diagnosed with appendicitis.
I had my appendix removed around 7:30 on Thursday evening. I'm recovering at my mother's house and so my trip has been set back about a week. I'll keep everyone posted as to my up coming days and my recovery process. My cell phone is dead and they no longer sell chargers for my phone, but as soon as I'm back in touch, I'll call everyone to check in with you.
Thanks for the support and well wishes!

| 12:37 am - Big Changes!
Dear Friends:
I haven't posted anything in quite a long time because a) My personal computer is not internet ready and I hate using my roommates and b) no one wants to hear someone keep bleating about the suck-i-tude that I felt my life was stuck in.
That being said, I've got an important announcement on my un-sticking of my suck-i-tude life.
I'm moving to Chicago.
Monday.
It's a temporary visit to secure housing and a job and then I will be flying home to pack my life and all my belongings and move my ass to the Windy City. I will probably try and arrange some outing before I head North in a Uhaul to say hi/bye to some friends I haven't seen lately (a result of the suck-i-tude). I know it's quite sudden, but I have 100% conviction this is the right choice for me. And while it is quite short notice I am only moving to Chicago, where AirTran almost always has 79$ one-way tickets to. It is not like I'm moving to Hawaii (again). Holidays, birthdays, long weekends, I will flit in and out of Atlanta, but now, each and every one of you has a very good reason to take a vacation!
If anyone would like to stop by my work (The Atlantic Grill in Atlantic Station) Sunday will be my last shift so that means everyone at the bar is getting absolutely shit-canned, I will make sure of it. Otherwise, I'll keep you posted on when I'll be back in town for a proper hurrah.

| 12:49 pm - Happy St. Patrick's Day!
For those who haven't already planned a day of drunken shennigans somewhere else or to those who are dying for some corned beef and cabbage, you should stop by my bar (Atlantic Grill in Atlantic Station) for the prior mentioned fun. I'm wearing lots of 'flair' so you're also welcome to come and poke fun at my attire.
Also, I have *gasp* a Sunday afternoon off and would love to eat brunch with you, especially if I haven't seen much of you lately (which is pretty much everyone). I was thinking around 1-ish at Apres Diem, but my boss insists that Atkins Park has the best brunch and bloody mary, she even claims it is better than the Highland Tap, which I consider to be the best of those things. So unless anyone who wants to come has strong feelings about not doing it at Apres, call or text, otherwise 1-ish it is.

| 07:12 pm - So appropiate...
Why is it so amusing to me that the first bar I get kicked out of is the Clermont Lounge for having sex in the women's bathroom.

December 13th, 2006
 | 05:00 pm - Not again!
I'm moving most of my stuff tomorrow, probably not anything too big. Couches might not leave and maybe not tv, which is the heaviest stuff. Probably the bed and dresser in my room will be the biggest stuff.
Mostly small boxes that have to be put on something and driven somewhere. I will hopefully be able to secure a U-Haul or other truck-ish vehicle to move everything with as little driving as possible.
If you're free to help there will be food, beer, and maybe even smokes to those who help. I'm off all day tomorrow so we can celebrate into the night if we desire.
Moving from:
Roswell Rd
Marietta
Moving to:
Glenwood Ave
East Lake (off 20-E past Moreland)
Call or leave a message here. Muchos Gracias!

Hey everybody! If you missed the fun and excitement of my birthday, here's your chance to get drunk with me again! I will be graduating this Saturday morning at 10am! I'm working Saturday night (boo hoo) but you can come visit at work if you'd like. OR, if I'm not working Sunday (I have to check) then let's party hardy.
Just kinda wanted to throw a feeler out there and see if Sunday is a good day or not, and if not, when is a good time, the following weekend?

December 9th, 2006
| 11:25 am - Update!
I'm pushing back meeting at the Independent until midnight because I want to be sure I've got enough time to get pretty and eat a not rushed dinner. Also, since it has come to my attention that I cannot likely make it to trivia on Sunday that everyone should come to my work (Atlantic Grill at Atlantic Station) and hang out with me there!

December 7th, 2006
| 10:10 pm - Birthday Party Update!
Okay, party is on this Saturday night! I get off work at 6 and was hoping to get a pre-drink-a-thon meal in so if anyone is interested in eating food with me let me know.
If you just feel like drinking heavily with me to celebrate the wonderous occasion of my birth I will be at the Independent at 10! Guests are instructed to bring cool friends. There will possibly be cake, which could result in a cake fight, and that's okay with me.
For those who cannot attend Saturday, I'm desiring to play trivia at the Highlander on Sunday to catch everyone who had other plans on Saturday (why they would have other plans is beyond me). I am working that evening, but am pushing to shut the bar down by ten so I can be there with the quickness!
Can't wait to see y'all!

So, I winged Saturday night off from work and I am ready to get down and dirty for my super rockin' out with my cock out 24th birthday bash! I get off work at 6 and would like to eat some food with people. I was thinking tapas so we can order a bunch of food and then drink a bunch of drinks. I don't really have much in mind for the evening, perhaps a bar somewhere? I will be at the Masquerade to watch Clay dj, but I don't want to stay as it is his b-day bash and not mine. And who the fuck really wants to get down for their birthday at the Masquerade? I'm open to bar/dinner suggestions, but it is an open call for all who wish to attend! Yay! 24 will be super awesomeness!

December 2nd, 2006
| 04:37 pm - Yay!
So, I got up at 6:45 this morning to go take my LSATs and they totally sucked, but that's okay because now they're over. Tonight I'm working the bar at the illustrious Atlantic Grill at Atlantic Station if anyone wants to come by and have a drinky-poo avec moi.
It is likely I will end up celebrating my birthday there on the 9th, although DJ Clay Ivey is having a party at the Masquerade I might attend. Will probably try and throw a b-day/graduation combo so you can't skip out on getting me atleast one present. I like money and gift certificates! More details later.

October 20th, 2006
| 12:10 am - Fright Fest!
Tomorrow I am going to Six Flags over Georgia tomorrow to experience Fright Fest! I have to work until about 6 and the sun doesn't set until 7. The park opens at 6 and closes at 12. If anyone would be interested in riding roller coasters in the dark and with monsters, call me tomorrow!

| 03:45 pm - A poem by a bad poet
This morning
The chill bit my ears,
This afternoon
The sun kissed my lips,
This evening
The winds caressed my face,
Tonight
I make love with autumn.

Well, you all won't believe it, but British Dave is back in town for a week! If anyone is interested in meeting up with us then give me a call since I don't have internet yet. Yay!
