1. I'm going to start taking dance students at work in two weeks and counting! This has meant an insane amount of teacher training and dance work on my own. But Aaron has been wonderful, Matt has been helpful, and I think I might be good at this. EEP ( Read more... )

1. A 7 AM-2PM, $10/hr, half-day-on-Fridays job that I interviewed for ages ago via my staffing agency may soon be falling into my lap. Which is crazy, because it solves all the current problems I have with this job, namely the world's shittiest hours and a meager $9/hr. If I take this second job, I will be making the exact same amount of money in a ( Read more... )

1. Killeen makes the week worth getting through. Things have been going so well with us. Sunday was a wonderful adventure around Chicago in some horrendous wintry weather. Bowling at Lucky Strike, Thai food in Boystown, and then bouncing from the Pick-Me-Up to Clarke's because there was no place else we could think of to just sit around and gab. We ( Read more... )

I am once again up too late watching Buffy, but I think I might actually be tired enough to sleep now. But I want to make sure I scribble a few things into LJ first.

1. I really, really like Killeen. We got together on Sunday night  for a four hour coffeetalk session at the Pick Me Up Cafe on the northside. It was sensational. A perfect first date.  ( Read more... )

To ponder at a later time: is there a way to make this job work with the rest of my life? Because if there is, I will be freaking elated. And where does theatre fit into all this, especially if Cincinnati and New York don't work out?

Colbert tribute time!

I had a wonderful, fabulous, very good Monday. Let's recap, shall we?

Monday was the Marriage Equality 7 court date, which took up the morning/afternoon. Dale, one of the 7, invited us all to his place at 11 AM for brunch before our hearing at 1:30. Dale is a professional chef, so the food was fantastic: breakfast sandwiches made of ham, cream ( Read more... )

If I could, I think I would go to a Heartless Bastards concert every week. That band does my soul good. Her voice is just plain killer. It stops me in my tracks to hear it live. And I made friends with the bassist this time: he was setting up the strangest instrument I'd ever seen, and I had to ask him what it was. Apparently it was a "panel steel ( Read more... )

1. The realization that this is the haircut I've always wanted and I managed to stumble into it. I LOVE my hair. If only I looked good in pictures, I'd post some so the world could behold my lesbian hotness.

2. The replacement of my GPS system for Christmas! And $25 at Shoe Carnival! I love still being considered a "kid" in my family; it means I ( Read more... )

Ok, so weird story from this morning before recapping last night. I’m gathering my stuff to go to work, and I tear this month’s rent check to drop off in the office on my way out of the building. I have a bunch of stuff, including a very full purse, a travel mug of tea, my handful of keys, and now this check. So I stick the check in my left hand ( Read more... )
