Finally!!!
Guess what? I am sitting in my own pirated living room writing this on MY VERY OWN COMPUTER!!! I am so very happy! A new friend of mine I met at one of the clubs here gave me his old one because he just got a laptop. It took about a week to get online because I know next to nothing about the tech side of this thing but here I am now. Huzzah!
LIfe in San Francisco is quite nice today. Today it feels like I am living in a cloud. The way the weather moves here is so completely different that Utah. The clouds are spitting at me. But its warm. Kinda eery too.
I am looking into getting some new jobs on line. My previous 2 jobs are not working out...the flower shop is dead...nothing happening so she doesnt need me hardly at all and the Tattoo shop is totally hit or miss. One day I will bank, the next, nothing. I need some regular, dependable income so Im using this computer to my advantage. I am most interested now in getting a henna salon set up on a cruise ship and traveling. Then possibly franchising my idea to Alot of cruise lines. All the tourists together in one place...excellent. Plus Ill get to live on a boat and travel the world. It seems like it takes alot of effort and patience and some luck to get hooked up with these folks. Here I go. I really want this to happen.
Last night I went to fire practice in Golden GAte Park. It was really cooll. LOts of people, lots of new stuff to learn. LOts of fog. Fire in the fog looks extra cool. I have one performance coming up in 2 weeks for the fire arts festival in Oakland and have hooked up with Crimson Rose of the Burning Man fire conclave and will be performing with them in the great circle before the man burns this year. I am so excited about all this fire. I am getting better all the time. Eventually after I get the henna grotto set up on a ship,I will also do fire shows out on the open ocean. Ahhh, the birth of new neo pirate fire queen. Miranda de la Mer. I think that will be my official pirate queen name.
I have seen some excellent shows lately too. I caught the second night of VNV NAtion which rocked. They played the one song I really really really needed to hear. My beloved do you know? My dead angel lover was close to me and listening...I know it. I had an amazing evening, physically alone but accompanied by many spirits, who sometimes take shape in clouds...
I FINALLY SAW PETER MURPHY!! I cant believe it took so long but it was sooo worth the wait. He was so beautiful and his voice is still perfect. He had spiky bleached blonde hair and a long black coat. Oh baby. I was in an intense state of bliss from the moment I heard his voice..."It only takes the time between here and there and landing in another place...saw your shadow fleeting from the corner of my eye..." After the show in a moment of total charm I aquired the set list from his tour manager,Stephan. It went like this:
Gliding like a whale
Idle FLow
Piece of you
The first stone
Emergency unit
Fall w/your knife
Deep ocean
Disappearing
The devils teeth
Huuvola
Thelma
The weight of love
The sweetest drop
===Encore===
Cuts you up
Marlene's Favorite
Your face
I was most amazed and grateful for Huuvola and Your face. I have these songs deeply engraved in my heart and psyche. To see him sing them to me was complete bliss. I am forever altered and so grateful. It was a beautiful, magickal night. Thank you Mr Murphy.
Ive discovered I really like dancing to Reggae and world beats as well. I have found an amazing DJ here named Cheb I Savvah, founder of Six Degrees records. He is amazing. I danced for hours and hours at a dance hall party in Fairfax. Really cool people. Great vibe. I also found a killer goth DJ at the GAy Pride Parade last sunday. So good that I jumped up on his stage and spun poi for everyone, but mostly for myself. It was so much fun! He does friday nights at Shadowplay. 2 more days till friday! Yes, I am still quite addicted to dance floors as you can tell. The cool thing is that now I am working on creating my own dance floors...by performing more I create the environment and music for myself. My own space, my own dance floor. This makes me happier than anything else right now, altho there are many things making me happy lately. This city is golden...full of treasure. I love living here.
So...yeah. Life is good. I just need some new jobs. It'll come, I am confident. In the mean time I can endlessly amuse myself by writing long gushing posts to this journal. HA!!
Hello to you all...I have missed you. But now Im alive in cyber space so we can talk more.
Much love from SF!!!
