first and super importantly, i didn't smoke all day on purpose and i have only hated the past couple hours.

now, back in time...

i had the whole day off work thursday and was excited to get all of the things done that i have been planning to do for weeks... clean the frog cage, vacuum, wash my sheets, whatever.

i painted and drank beer?

i met up with sx and best friend at riprocks for wings and beer. ((special note: mild is still too spicy for mengtar.)) and i burnt his cute but waay too regular friend with my cigarette, which i find is the best first impression one can make if one plans on being awkward around them until... umm... forever.

and i met someone in the music dept. at denton high. he was asking about my tattoo. i told him that i will probably be at ryan high this year and he seemed most disappointed in me. they just lost their percussion instructor and he took down my name and number. ((fuck yes)) also, his friend had a hawaiian shirt. if i were to make a list of pros and cons of teaching at dhs, the guy in the music department's friend would be in the con list.

yes, it is that big of a deal.

i got to do some back-yard underwear tanning thursday too. in a wonderful 86 degrees, i also had to call home and brag to my mom whom still has snow. HA!

but my butt is red. whatever.

after riprocks, we went to some girl from work's symphonic band concert where i ran into old roommate cx. other than insults and sarcasm, we really didn't have much to say to each other. good thing we had to go find seats so i didn't have to stand around and err and umm around every other topic that lasted two sentences.

i was supposed to go home to shower and change into pants and then meet best friend at lou's, but instead i napped until about midnight. ((fuck!!!)) i woke up and hauled ass to the boiler room to catch an AWESOME band.

the sugar free all stars consist of a very bearded drummer and a singer/keyboardist that looked a lot like dr. green from oldschool ER but with no hair instead of not much hair. they basically rocked the house. they were great musicians and their songs were very silly. they also released a kids album a while back that apparently went #1 on xm.

holy impressed5000!

they also played a kids show in shreveport, louisiana ((for the northern readers, st. cloud, minnesota is to madison, wisconsin as denton, texas is to shreveport, louisiana))yesterday and another one today at the denton library this afternoon. if i didn't have to work, i totally would have been there. they played their hit "bathtub roy" at the show. quality.

in the restaurant business, it is common courtesy for the host to alert the server of any special needs your table may need before you greet it. real life examples may include: "your table is an asshole" or "that old lady's farts may sound like puppies, but they smell like carp!" or today's "hey, you're WHOLE table is deaf".

i didn't get that warning.

i approached a table and talked for a good 20 seconds before they noticed that i was there. i didn't realize they were deaf for about another 20 seconds after that. ((i had been working for 12 hours and i get slow and grumpy when i don't eat)) but we laughed a lot ((well, they laughed at me and i was tired and delerious)) and they left a note saying that it was the first time they had eaten at a restaurant and been treated like real people and that they had a lot of fun. and as a ps, they liked me hair.

basically, i rock at everything... all the time, says the deaf ladies.

the night only gets better...

my manager made hotdogs for everyone! if i never told you before, i LOVE hotdogs.

likes: hotdogs.
dislikes: hawaiian shirts.

also, i'm a horrible non-photographer.

also also, i've said it before, but i'm not a good fucking dancer and i don't need you patronizing me every mother fucking time i want to go watch a band. fucking get over it!

finally a sunny ((but ridiculous texas-hot)) day so i could lay out in my underoos and get a tan. a beautiful thing.

work was... interesting... i definitely banked tonight. that was nice.

however, i was asked out by three different guys, and asked to join a three-some... two of the askings-outs were people i worked with. one was a table... and the threeway was a different table.

apparently fat is the new black??

and some crazy guy was stomping in the parking lot wearing flannel near my car, so i had to be walked to my car... creepy.

went to fry street with mike and michael ann. good times. played some darts. forgot my camera. but i finally played the ring-and-hook game at lou's and i got it 3/10. that's basically magical.

whatever.

i miss john.

i started my new job at the olive garden today. it was less than fun. i hate starting new jobs. i constantly feel judged and insecure. although, in past jobs, whenever new people came, i would judge them too... whatever. i mean, i don't want to be myself right away because sometimes i have a bit of an overbearing personality... so i just kind of stick to myself... whatever. people there are alright, i guess. once i'm done training, i'm sure everything will be fine.

john left for tour today. it was very sad. i'm glad we're on good terms despite our countless issues. i love him.

a month ago, i hated it that i still loved him. now i'm okay with it.

i've been working on my tan. i think i'm doing pretty well. i have a late-june tour tan. that'll do.

i went outside to tan at 10.45 this morning. it was sunny, warm and beautiful.

i felt relaxed and happy.

i fell asleep.

i woke up at 11.30 and it was cloudy, cold and i was freezing my ass off.

double depressing.
