burlesque show went fantastically. as always. the venue was awesome and everyone was super nice. i kissed Lindsay Stewart on the new year and made my boyfriend jealous lolll.
i also took a polaroid shot of her in her white dress and some others, dancing on stage after the show was over and the new year rung in, and it came out fantastic even though it didn't have a good place to come out and it's slightly bent from developing in my pocket on the bus home. there is a man with a party hat on in the bottom-right corner of the film; that guy turned out to be deaf or HOH and the girl next to him, who was a big girl covered in tattoos and wearing such an elaborate dress with veil that i thought she must be a dancer, but she wasn't -- anyway she and he both saw the sign and she frantically signed to him "it's a polaroid!!" hahaha that was a cool moment.
on the way home I accidentally hopped the 3 bus instead of the 23. goddamnit loll. so i ran totally the wrong way. ended up going all the way uptown to the transportation center and THEN catching the 23 all the way back home. the lady driving the 3 bus was very patient with me lmao. so i got home fine. bird said something to me about how Tulia would say that a night without a little fear and adventure is a night wasted. hahaha. i took those words to heart because i suppose it did make the night more memorable overall. and today i realize that Hiccup would've said the same damn thing. u guys.
today has been pretty much solely playing Goat Simulator LOL. since it was on sale for $2.50. hell yeah. i love this game but my computer does not. it glitched once and overheated twice in the few hours I played it. i just have to keep an eye on my poor laptop while playing lmao but it's so fun. so dumb and chaotic and fun. i might even play a wee bit more before i go to work tbh.
i have been making myself sandwiches all day. first i made BLTAs [like a BLT with avocado :D] with cream cheese instead of mayo or something, and that was PERF... i made a second one and packed it in my lunch hell yeah. then just now, while waiting on my poor computer to come back down from overheating, i made a bagel with salami, avocado and cream cheese. can you tell what two things i love to eat together lol.
so ya. long long work night tonight... if only i hadn't spent all my quarters on that drink last night at the show [OMG it was AMAZING. note to self. learn how to make this shit. it was called the Flood and it was made with irish cream, butterscotch schnapps, coffee liqueur [award for hardest word to spell goes to: LIQUEUR] and organic milk. dude. let me do this. it was so delicious i had to FORCE myself to sip it and i about cried cuz i couldn't order another one LMAO.
so yeah this was a really great new year tbh. i felt safe even at a 'party' kind of event 99% of the time [the other 1% was as i'm getting ready to leave, heading out the door, some crazy drunk fuck barrels up the stairs in the door and tries to dive behind the bar before getting kicked out o_0], surrounded by either friendly strangers or friendly people who know who i am... and naked women!! who are doing what they do because they love getting cheered on by strangers while showing off their body, and are well protected by their troupe family. i love it.
in headspace there was a really nice long table set up in the Order dining room and so many people were there. we all watched what was going on up front together. as i recall... Owen, Ruby, Jewel, Pearl [lol our names], Kris, Kyo and possibly Cassius were there. i didn't see everyone but it was a pretty big group. they were eating and drinking and talking and it was wonderful. even if i was having too much fun up front to concentrate too awful hard inside. but they just all kinda crowded around me and watched with me. one seat labeled 'VOGEL' seating a dozen people. <3
wow i just hit a random button and almost deleted this whole entry. I HATE WHEN THAT HAPPENS LOL. but all is well.
also: i'm kinda toying with the idea of going vegan for a week sometime. it'd KILL me to go without cream cheese or fish lmaooo but that's why it's a challenge! i'll have to save up some cash because tbh it's a great excuse to go try some amazing vegan food that's out here in the city. but even if i don't i could make it. that's a thing. even like vegan mixed drinks and shit. and if i can go for a week then why not a month sometime! ya know.
a random fact: the super loud cupped-hand clap that I learned how to do in high school marching band has proved VERY useful for my current job. during my watch in the playrooms when i think dogs are getting too rowdy and rough play might escalate into a legit fight, a sharp sudden loud noise often stops them. and my voice is very quiet! if there's a lot of noise happening it gets drowned out quite easily. so being able to clap very sharp and loud helps a lot. that's just something random that i thought about lol.
