Oh, my goodness. The Man has posted the greatest clip ever. It definitely brought a smile to my face. You kick ass, man! I must go camping as soon as possible … though I doubt two leather daddies will bust into my tent in the middle of the night. Plus, I really wouldn’t want them to chainsaw their way in as I spent a lot of money on my lightweight backpacking tent. Anyhoo …~

Yeah. And not the good kind of “humpity” either. Too busy today to be stressed/drepressed. Slowly but surely ticking through the work load. Whoo. If’n you have a love of cock (and I know you do), you can go waste some time here. Trust me. You’ll enjoy it.

… right in the middle of my forehead.

So, apparently everything that’s wrong or has been delayed at work is my fault as well. “You’re the one holding this stuff up. It should have been done weeks ago.” Well, yeah it would if y’all didn’t keep pushing other “time sensitive” stuff my way. Grrr.

How shitty is it of me to not answer the phone when my sister called twice last night? Pretty shitty, in my opinion.

I am still getting bugged about that freelance stuff too. As if I have nothing to do but deal with it. Day job. It’s pays the bills. Remember that.

I hate feeling stressed out ’cause my mind starts to go into overdrive and worry about stuff that isn’t even in the scheme of things … the overall direction of my life, dateless-ness, self esteem, career, friends, past decisions. So, who wants to volunteer for hatchet duty? It won’t take long. I promise.

Grrr. The past few days are the kinda days that make me want to change my name, move to a new city and start fresh. New friends. New job. No family obligations.

My sister and her husband are back into it again already. Friday night consisted on being woken up at 1:00 a.m. to go get her and get her over to my cousins house. Needless to say I was out until 4:00 a.m. dealing with this shit. Next day she has her husband come and get her and she’s back at home. How many times did she call me yesterday? A lot. They were already into it again. Bad thing about this is she won’t listen to any of the advice that I have given her. She hates him and doesn’t want to live with him anymore. I say “divorce/lawyer” to her. No, I can’t do that. It’ll cost money which she doesn’t have. She says she gonna kill him or herself. I say “counseling/meds” to her. Nope. If she sees a counselor they will think she’s crazy and commit her. Jesus. And, where is my father during all this? Who the hell knows. I guess I get to keep handling this one on my own.

I arrive at work this morning to a pissy e-mail from the head of the theatre that I freelance for. They are doing a fundraiser that I have worked up a logo for. The lady that coordinating “has been trying to reach you but not connecting and is starting to lean on me.” Well, hell. She has my fucking phone number. Has she called me? No. “Both of the meetings we have had so far were to discuss printed material, with you being the most important person we wanted there, and not having you there made them sort of a waste of everyones time.” Well, hell. First of all you should have the meeting in the evening … when I have a better chance of making it. I do have a day job, remember? Secondly, if I was the main person you needed there … why the hell didn’t you say that in the first place instead of “make it if you can” or “we would like to have you there.” And why am I just hearing about this eleven days after the last meeting?

Fuck. Times like these … times like these.

Funny how things get started isn’t it? Put one drunk birthday girl and one in-need-of-distraction fella together and … BAM … the plan to go get tattoos is made. We’ve going back and forth this whole week. She thinks I am gonna weenie out. Ha! Me? My main concern is getting what I want (pictured above) and having it look good. I’ve seen plenty of really awful tattoos in my time. And what I want has plenty of shading and such. Yeah, I know what you’re thinking. “He wants to get the Apple logo etched on to his body?!?!?” Yeah. Yeah, I do.

… so to speak. Owen Hawk has made the cover of the new issue of Unzipped. Damn! Now everyone will know about him, even though it’s me that’s been lusting after him since his debut in Manplay 8 (where he sports a mowhawk … *sigh*). Back off, people. He’s mine, mine, mine!

I wonder if the doc needs to up my meds. All week I have woken up with the distinct sensation of panic building up. But, once I am out of the bed and moving it fades to the background and disappears completely. Ugh. My boss was fussy with me this morning. Apparently I didn’t do anything right yesterday. Ugh. Friday night and I have rehearsal for “Antigone in New York.” Whoo. My life is fun right now. I am gonna sleep in late tomorrow. What was that I was saying about hibernation?
