I think I’m driving myself crazy but possibly having people over Saturday night
Category: Parties and Nightlife

So, to begin with, for those of you I haven't mentioned it to over the past few months, I have been playing around with stand-up comedy. The funny isn't always on, but I have done alright enough where the local midtown comedians have accepted me as one of their own which makes me feel awesome. We preform on Sundays at Double Duce on Highland, Mondays at P&H on Madison, and Tuesdays at Zinnie's East downstairs in the dinning room. There is also Wednesday nights at Comedy, Tn but they start at 8pm so I can never make it out there.

Romantically, I kind of have a crush on these two guys. One of them is eight years younger than I am and I have no idea how to talk to him. I tend to turn stupid, even when I am just hanging out with his best friend (who is also a "cutie"). The other is a guy a coupe of years older than me who I have been friends with for a few years but have been working on making it into a stronger relationship friendwise. Unfortunately during this process I have realized that there is the possibility that he could be the perfect guy for me. This is no good because he has quite an attractive girlfriend that he has been with for several years now whom I believe he also lives with. I think she is probably the best thing for him, but I can't seem to stop myself from flirting with him. He seems to act the same way when he is around me. I have to be the one to mention his girlfriend as a way to kind of slap both of us in the face and go "oh, yea".

I keep wanting to work on the book I started writing, but keep coming up with excuses to put it off. Comedy three nights a week doesn't really help either.

To end this for right now, I want to mention that I am thinking about having a get together at my house on Saturday night. No intentional big party or anything, just friends hanging out. You would have to BYOB and unless a lot of people jump up to come, there probably won't be food (I'm broke), but if you insist I"ll be happy to put out a buffet of tomatoes and cheese.

Message me if you are interested or call me to let me know if you want to come. Otherwise I'll just sit here alone, meet up with people at sidestreet, or find something else to do.

A little late in coming...

So, my mom calls me today and tells me my car title was in her mail. I asked her how long she has had it, but she wasn’t sure. Apparently I finally made the LAST payment on my car the day after christmas. I am paid in full@!!!!!!!!!!

YAY!

Now if I can only figure out what the hell I have been doing with that extra money. I guess it is the only t hing that has been keeping me barely afloat. I will say this, it couldn’t have not been discovered at a better time. If I thought I had extra money, I would have fucked myself by now.

No more car payments! WOOOOPPPPPEEEEE!!!!!!!!

I am exhausted
Category: Blogging

So far, I am going on 27 hours with no sleep. My eyes are begging me to let them close, but I have been having serious procrastination issues with the SXSW photos I took. I have to go through 1000 shots, weed out the better ones, have everything perfectly labeled in their individual folders, have the cd burned and arriving in Austin by the 25th... Yeah, it might be late a day or two. Aside form the fact that I had to spring back into action at work as superwaitress and try not to kill people, I have been having a bitch of a time getting back on some sort of tolerable sleeping and eating schedule. Ok, so I already have bad eating habits, but I can usually pass out within a fairly regular time frame. This is my only day off until Tuesday. Looks like I’m going to have to sleep with the laptop again for a few days. I just hope the external HD doesn’t get broken when I start flailing incoherently in my sleep trying to escape people with pitchforks who are upset that their food wasn’t cooked exactly as described.

However, now I am starving, too tired to cook, found where the dog took a dump in my bedroom, and the cat just overshoot the litter box. I wonder if I can make myself a little something to eat before my stomach claws its way out of my body and eats me alive.

Everything aside...

This year at SXSW was pretty damn good. Lots of ups and downs, chaos and confusion, but over all pretty cool. As I mentioned before, I’ll be back in Memphis tomorrow. You guys will have tp let me in on anthing really worth doing because I’m used to spending St. Patrick’s Day in Austin.

I hope my pets are still alive and my TV is still where I left it.

FYI

I just took that captcha or whatever that shit is called off of my comments because it was pissing me off more than it could upset any of you. I can deal with  little spam here and there. Be home in a few days.

Who’s drinking with me on St. Paddy’s day???? It’s the first time in about 4 years that I have been in town for it! Memphis, that is.

Are all men retarded?
Current mood: annoyed

This is a question that comes to women’s minds often....well... mine anyway. they act really nice and seem into you one minute, but then I get the cold shoulder so hard it feels more like frostbite. Do I have to begin amputating my appendages to get a date? It seems every time I tell a guy I think he seems really nice, he turns into kind of an asshole, minus the kind of. Then again, maybe I am just taking too much personally and thinking into things too much. Either way, its something to think on.

Guys, get that shit out of your system. It’s fucking annoying.

’night

Current mood: ecstatic

I'm going to be an official photographer for SXSW this year! Apparently this is the first year they have actually had a photo crew and I made the cut! Here is the link to the big ass portfolio I sent:

Re: my bruised foot

As many stories as I could tell you, the simple truth is that a big bottle of liquid Dial body soap fell four feet right smack on top of my foot in the shower last thursday (9/27). I took the picture about three days later. It still hurts, but I can get around without the cane now. I just have to keep people from stepping on it.

TCB Concerts

TCB has charged me twice for the White Stripes show after embarassing me at the ticket counter telling me my card was being denied after trying several times. My friend had to purchase the tickets just so we could get inside in time. $133 is telling me that my card wasn't denied afterall! I just sent them an email because I have no idea who to talk to. This is some bullshit.

Yesterday was a pretty shitty day, even after the gunmen left
Current mood: exhausted
Category: Life

Yesterday I was planning on devoting another day of hard labor to the new house over on Walker in Cooper-Young. My friend, Jeremy Vann, and I stayed out drinking late the night before because we hadn't seen each other in 8 years, so he crashed on my futon. My Grandparents called my, waking me from a pleasant dream to tell me they would be joining us and would fix the broken window in one of the rooms. Little did we know what was in store for us.

Carrie was arriving first but I had to take Jeremy to his sister's house to freshen up and not feel so much like Guinness. I left her the keys in the mailbox. My Grandparents were the next ones to arrive. Jeremy and I got there just after 11am. I sat down to munch on the Breakfast burrito that Carrie picked up for me and was talking to my Grandmother. My Grandpa was on a ladder in the living room sizing up the window. Jeremy was scraping the floor in the front side room, and Carrie was on the porch on her cellphone, smoking. I looked up from my food to see to gangster looking fuckers walk by the door to the room I was in. I realized I didn't know them and promptly stood up, telling them that they needed to leave and they didn't belong in my house. That is when they all pulled out guns and started yelling at us to get on the floor face down.

They pulled my Grandpa off the ladder as he was trying to get down. He has had a few strokes and doesn't move all that fast, anyway. The fall to the floor skinned up his knee a little. They made Carrie hang up her cell and pushed her into the livingroom floor next to my Grandpa. Jeremy had his face down and hands behind his head. They had pushed my Grandmother to the floor in the room I was pushed from, yelling at her to keep her face down. I could hear her crying. I started yelling at the guys, telling them to get the fuck away from my grandparents, I yelled at the guy on the other room to get the hell away from my Grandmother. They kept telling us to keep our faces down but I kept looking up and yelling at them. The guns didn't bother me, the fact that they were threatening the lives of my friends and family bothered me. If anyone was going to get shot, I was going to make sure it was me.

They searched our pockets, took all of our cellphones, all of our keys, wallets, my purse, and the headed for the door, taking off in my Grandparents 2000 Mercury Grand Marquis. Carrie and I jumped up and shot out the door after them, they drove off but we continued to run and bang on doors, windows, anything, but no one was home. No shops were open. I had to jump out in front of a car just so we could use a phone to call 911.

They walked right through the front door in broad daylight, robbed us, and got away the same way. Three guys with three guns, and five of us. Everyone is physically alright. My Grandmother says she will never come to my house again, Jeremy didn't say much of anything, and Carrie is taking all of this too well for me to be comfortable with it. I'm not sure how I am taking it. I drank last night until I passed out. I"m kind of paranoid and feel like I am the one to blame. My friends and family were at my house to help me, and look where that got them.

I'm taking today off work. I really don't want to get out of bed. I need to go back to the house and work on it, but I'm kind of scared to go unarmed. apparently the police, or the Sargent at least, actually seem to be trying to help.

Well, I'm hungry, I don't really have any food, I have no money, and nothing but water to drink. I think I'll go back to sleep.

I do need to get everyone's phone numbers all over again.
