April in outfits

noreply@blogger.com (Jemibook) — Sat, 27 Apr 2013 11:58:00 +0000

This month ended up being much colder than 2012 April. Thus I had to suffer through wearing too many layers still. My wardrobe and I agree it is time for warmer weather!

I had a bunch of friends over for a potluck. We ate loads of food drinks lots of processco and everyone made badges to take home! I had a lovely time. I always love hosting food related parties.

This month I was told that I have a fairy god mother presence. Hopefully this will be the last month I have to dress to keep warm all the time. I am so ready to be naked all the time this summer!

My birthday is in a couple of days I will be 28! Yikes! Nothing planned but benzie usually has something up his sleeve. Honestly just hanging with my best friend all day is the coolest present.

Special Someone Sundays.

noreply@blogger.com (Jemibook) — Mon, 25 Feb 2013 01:18:00 +0000

So I figure I will alternate between Sad Girls Sundays, and Special Someone Sundays.. because I never have enough time for blogging on saturdays.

Questions and Answers

noreply@blogger.com (Jemibook) — Tue, 19 Feb 2013 15:21:00 +0000

1.The meaning behind my URL
- it is the name I use when I play music on my ukulele, and liked it very much so I just made it into my blog name as well even though I obviously do not play music as much as I would like to right now. It is a combination of my name 'Jem' and the first computer I used when I started making music 'Ibook' :)

2. Weakness
- energy drinks when sleepy at work - or when I feel like people need me to be 'hyper/out-going jem'.
- sweets - i get very intense cravings.
- sexual intimacy - i also get very intense cravings.
- pretty glittery girly things - if something catches my eye.
- puppies - I can't help but squeal at them when I see them.
- people with amazing style - hard to keep from staring.

3. Why I love my best friend
- he gets me like your favorite book - but still keeps re-reading to pick up on the hidden parts you may have missed at another time in your life.

4. Last time I cried and why
- Friday Feb 15th - I was frustrated because I felt like I was getting another UTI, and I was tired of how helpless it feels I am to getting them even though I am doing every preventative thing I possibly can to prevent them other than being abstinent which I refuse to do...

5. Piercings I have
- Just my ears currently - but I have had my nose and septum in the past.

6. Favorite Band
- I don't have one currently, back in the day it used to be No Doubt though.

7. Biggest turn off(s)
- back hair, rude people, bros, sandals, spicy food, stinky body odor, people who don't keep their promises, not being punctual, bad kissers.

8. Top 5 Foods
- Borscht
- Cheesecake
- Fish Sandwich
- Pocky
- Dried Cherries

9. Tattoos I want
- unicorn/pegasus chest piece, continuing on the bf tat I have with benzie.

10. Biggest turn on(s)
- good slow sensual kissing, good hair, personal style, passion, intelligence, being out-going, knowing how to cook, willing to dance/look like a fool, makes me laugh, eel, bondage, whispering secrets in my ear.

11. Age
- 27

12. Ideas of a perfect date
- (this date idea I came up for my blog back in 2011)

Bring a disposable camera, and go out into a busy area where you live with your ‘date’ [friend, whatever] and ask strangers to take your picture. Get as many people as you can to take your picture together [and make sure to do fun and different poses, experiment!] until you use the entire roll of film. Then go to your local target or whatever to develop the film. Take the hour that you have to wait for the film to develop [you did get one-hour right] to have lunch or dinner or whatever time it is. Then go pick up the film and bring it with you to a coffee shoppe or ice cream parlor and sit down and take out your sharpies and white-out pens and draw designs and write quotes on them. After this, go around town and tape/glue them up around your hood, tack them to message boards, leave them in the mirror @ Starbucks, hide them in magazines and books at Barnes ‘n Nobles, until you have no more photographs.

Celebrate the fact that you are the most publicized couple in town with a non-awkward kiss facilitated by the mistletoe you keep in your back-pocket.

13. Life goal(s)
- Have my own garden that I grow mostly food for my family.
- Have a fur baby.
- Continue to be creative in some medium.
- Always aspire to become raw.

14. Piercings I want
- septum again.

15. Relationship status
- Currently dating the loveliest bearded mister in all of bushwick.

16. Favorite movie
- Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

17. A fact about my life
- Since I was 18 I haven't lived in the same city for more than two years - although I am currently going on year 3 here in NYC... and I will be 28 this year.. a change is a comin'.

18. Phobia
- people touching my armpits

19. Middle name
- Marie

20. Tattoos I have
- Cupcake on my right side, Minnesota on my left shoulder.

I really like him.

noreply@blogger.com (Jemibook) — Sun, 27 Jan 2013 04:27:00 +0000

Recently watched the new Anna Karenina and love this scene where they are picnicing both all in white. I am so obsessed with this look currently.

- - - - - - - - - -

Koi No Yokan -(Japanese): Koi No Yokan is a truly beautiful concept. It can be defined as the sense one can have upon first meeting a person that the two of you are going to fall in love. Differs from “love at first sight” as it does not imply that the feeling of love exists, only the knowledge that a future love is inevitable

Lingerie Loving.

noreply@blogger.com (Jemibook) — Sat, 19 Jan 2013 04:35:00 +0000

Lately I've been on a lingerie kick - following blogs dedicated to it, and saving every one that I find interesting. Here are a few that I've been obsessed over lately.

I love this style of bra by FORTNIGHT

Spanking Panty by Nearer the Moon.

Michi Sports Bra

No longer in production playsuit by Lou Lou Loves you.

Major lavender obsessions from FiFi Chachnil.

Wrist Restraints and a full Kitty Playsuit by Fraulein Kink

Here are some random lingerie photos I like as well.

Year in Review 2012.

noreply@blogger.com (Jemibook) — Fri, 04 Jan 2013 23:41:00 +0000

2012 in Review.

Describe 2012 with 3 words:

Fickle, Explosive, Profitable.

Which concerts did you visit in 2012?

Die Antwoord, Marina and the Diamonds, Marilyn Manson, Rob Zombie, Drive Soundtrack Show, Men Without Hats.

Where do you live now?

Bushwick!

What happened on your birthday?

This

What was your favorite moment in 2012?

Officially signing the lease on the new home Benzie and I found!

Which one was your favorite month?

July, because of these :

Most influential people in 2012?

My Best friend Benzie - but that is every year. He keeps me sane, makes me laugh all the time, and is a truly good human-being. I treasure our friendship soo much - I couldn't bare to move away from him yet.. but it's a good thing - because we are exactly where we wanted to be when we first decided to move to NYC 2 1/2 yrs ago... it's going to be a good 2013!

My work-mates. They are always there to make me laugh, listen to my horror stories, and just are all around awesome people. Without their constant support this year I would not have been quite the same!

Did you find new friends?

These two super babes : Lindsay and Christina.

Mary Hall

We met at work, and I knew when I introduced her to Ben it would be a PURRfect match - and I'm glad I was right, I'm happy I get to see her twice as much!

Do you regret something?

Nope, I feel like I made the right choice staying in NYC instead of moving to Austin this year, that's the only thing that I may have..thankfully I'm still happy with my choice!

Did your life change in 2012?

Yes, I think I fully started to appreciate my job and all that it had to offer for me specifically and started to take advantage of what I could do with it and where I could go within the company. It put a lot of other things into perspective for my life and made me feel much more fulfilled and satisfied with my time in NYC and what I was doing in general and the direction I wanted to take with my life.

Did you find a new job?

Not a new job, but I was offered a new 'marketing' position that they are starting up in my district! I'm excited to see what it will entail.

Are you happy that 2012 is over soon?

Only because I feel like 2012 had a bit of a dark shadow over it with all of this apolcolypse talk throughout the year, and I don't think it is good to have things like that looming over an entire year. Overall the year was good - but 2013 looks very shiny and new!

Have you already made plans for traveling in 2013 - and if yes, where to?

So far, I know I am visiting FLA the end of January - just for vacations and to hang out with some of my favorite people that I haven't seen since 2008. There are always talks of visiting Minneapolis - my baby my home, and possibly Vegas for Ben's bday this year (since last year we spent all of our money on moving) ...and then I hope to have some road trips in there as well - maybe visit boston for the first time.

Best book you read in 2012?

Unfortunately I didn't read any good books this year - I did read '50 Shades of Grey' but that was pure novelty and I just wanted to see what all the hype was.. I picked up some new zines at the fests I was in this year, but I didn't have a lot of relax time where I felt like I could...I probably would have better luck with audio books now.

Best film you saw in 2012?

Dark Knight Rises Moonrise Kingdom The Vow (it's no time traveler's wife..but I've gotta get my romance on!) Hunger Games (duh!) W.E. (beautifully shot, and I love the choice of actresses) Wanderlust (simply because the bathroom scene where paul rudd is siking himself up made me almost pee I was laughing so much) Friends with Kids (love the cast, and the real moments in the film...i did cry) The Five-Year Engagement (maybe a bit longer than it should have been,but cute) Take this Waltz (simply for this one scene towards the end that Seth Rogan has that KILLS me it's so sad) Katy Perry : Part of Me (I had goosebumps almost the entire more..love this dame) Ruby Sparks (cute movie, and I think I may have a lil crush on Paul Dano) Lincoln (spielburg killed it)

5 Musicians you listened to in 2012 too much!

Lana Del Rey

Katy Perry

Radical Face

Die Antwoord

Marina and the Diamonds

What were you doing at new years eve last year at 23.59?

In bed sleeping!

How are you gonna celebrate new years this year?

Like this.

What are you looking forward to in 2013?

Shit Yeah Girl shows, teaching myself how to play harp, film photography, writing more, make outs, fetish parties, concerts, NYC summer (always), bike riding, road trips, open possibilities.

What do you want to change in 2013?

mental health, energy levels, diet.

What are you NOT looking forward to in 2013?

Winters. Hurricanes. Tornados. any natural disasters really, the 'L' train being down.

Are you planning on having any kids in 2013?

nope...but I wouldn't mind a fur baby.

On the occasion that you wear your first flat-forms to Ikea.

noreply@blogger.com (Jemibook) — Wed, 12 Dec 2012 16:34:00 +0000

Inspiration time! Going to ikea to pick up some more things for our place ( we still need a lot to make this house a home - we are starting from scratch!) and this is the best way to test out if these flatforms are actually comfortable!

I know this isn't Livejournal...but let's have a throwback shall we?

noreply@blogger.com (Jemibook) — Mon, 10 Dec 2012 03:33:00 +0000

1. Beautiful, Lovely, Intelligent, Creative, Sexy, Warm, Caring, Kind. I tend to think quite highly of my ex's almost all of my relationships have ended amicably

2. Most recent, went to karaoke someone thought it was a good idea to ask a friend's friend how big his man-hood was and this prompted him to buy me a tall-boy budweiser and show me in comparison to the can.

3. I can fart on command.

4. They are one of the few people I've ever let take a nude of me on their phone.

5. Six Feet Under

6. 'Totally'

7. Probably something Benzie and I were joking about that made no sense.

8. This year, Die Antwoord, Marina and the Diamonds, Marilyn Manson, Rob Zombie, Men Without Hats.

9. Don't celebrate holidays.

10. My pocahontas little girls night-gown I've had since the early 2000s and pink underwear from Forever 21.

11. According to my Last.Fm account 'The Smiths - Please, please, please, let me get what I want this time' is the song I've listened to the most... so it must be my favorite?

12. By dating his room-mate and bonding over the fact that his room-mate was an asshole when I stopped seeing his room-mate.

13. Probably seeing die antwoord with benzie and then proceeding to take our 5 gallon glass jug of sangria onto the subway while we rode to The Standard Hotel..where there was a huge line and I drunkenly thought because we had r.s.v.p.'ed to the event that we shouldn't have to wait in the line so I went to the front and said something about it and the guy just let Ben and I in even though there was no list.. ( i didn't remember any of this mind you, ben told me later the next day)..that was really fun until I busted my ass trying to figure out how to get out of that crazy club.

14. Probably move to NYC on a whim with Benjamin in 2010. I had absolutely no fucking idea what I was getting myself into.

15. None, but earlier today I was wearing a really annoying leaf necklace, and a pair of iridescent earrings that I luv.

16. spanking, passionate kissing, being whispered naughty things, sexting, bondage, wrestling, vibrators....i will leave it at that.

17. How about the one where I double-booked an okc date.

18.

19. Well I think I already listed one up there, but some of the best times I've had are just us lying around in bed and talking about life, goals, wishes, stupid shit, how people in our past lives are now, and all of the random facts he tells me every day. That guy is my soul-mate true life.

20. Age difference in relationships...well that topic has come up a lot recently...I've dated guys mostly around 3-4 years within my age range..although a few have been a bit more. It doesn't bother me as long as you respect the person - and find them attractive than whatever man.

21.

22. 'Haven't had a dream in a long time, see the life I've had, could make a good man, bad...'

23. Unfortunately yes. Which is strange because I have almost always promoted open-realtionships to the aversion of my former lovers...so it was kind of stupid when it happened..

24. I think it is unnecessary people are going to be attracted to other people given any amount of time we are only human...so why not just keep the communication line open, respect one another, and just allow for more than one person in your life?

25.

26. I'm not sure..according to my stats for this blog '137 ' people viewed my blog this week. (thanks guys!)

27. I use spotify so I don't really shuffle anymore....

28. I don't have a best friend on tumblr, but if I could I would choose these people [ Burger Girl, CreepyYeha, and LandLockedMermaid ]

29. There are too many to choose, but the first thing that comes to my mind is the cd/ handmade booklet with explanations of each song choice that kish made me when we were first becoming friends.

30. #1 getting a hook in my finger when I was young and having to keep it in for hours. #2 Thinking this crazy drunken man was going to kill my little brother and I at my dad's house growing up. #3 hallucinating after taking too many sleeping pills. #4 not being able to eat for a week when I was trying to play like a break-up wasn't a big deal but actually was emotional fucking me over inside.

It works fine and dandy with my trusty old Ukulele here, but curious about how it would translate to a harp? Anyways enjoy this duet minus someone for me to sing it with/to.

Year in Photobooth (VIDEO) 2012

noreply@blogger.com (Jemibook) — Thu, 29 Nov 2012 18:33:00 +0000

I made this video for ya'll just to show that I care - and that I have nothing better to do with my Thursday other than take antibiotics sip water, and wait until my tofurkey defrosts so I can make thanksgiving tonight before we go out to karaoke.

So kind of productive right? The footage in this video is from all of the random photoboothin' I've done throughout this year. Lots of changes of scenery and moving included. Me being ridiculous in one way or another - and some friends along the way of COURSE!

Otherwise..not much else is new.. found one of my old journals with a few stories I had written for Kiss & Tell (issue 2) that I started last year...jotted down some ideas for some newer stories, and others that I hadn't included in the first issue..so perhaps I will start on that. Went to the library near my house yesterday and picked up 'My Life in France' by Juila Child - while I wait for her other book 'As always, Julia' which is the letters she shared with Avis Devoto which I've been dying to read but haven't had the extra funds to splurge on buying - thank you public library system!

Work is fine and dandy - can't wait to get paid tomorrow, so I can pick up a couple more things for my room ( I really want my bed to be super magical with lace and drapes and even more twinkle lights but I haven't had the funds..and I want to get this as well but with casters so I can optimize my space and some shelves above my desk ..and lights...a rug...a curtain for my closet and loads of other things - but I am trying to take baby steps here...

Anyways...bye
