I was talking to Missy tonight after work ( we got off earlier and went to eat at Applebee's, our favorite appetizer and two entries for 20 bucks, can't go wrong with that!) and was telling her you know, I've been away from home for a long time. I'm going to ask the judge to grant me permission to leave Colorado and go home to Reno for a few weeks, to get 'reoriented' back home and just so I can see my parents, other friends and my cats (!) and then come back and do my jail time ( if probation is revoked as I wish it to be). The judge has always been fair to me and he could have easily kept me in that jail instead of letting me go on personal recognizance without bail. I've always made every court date when this case was active, turned myself in on the warrant, and am not a flight risk. And, I'll mention to him that my dad DID have a heart attack.
I just feel like I've been away for so long. I only had five days home before I left and came here on March 27th. If I go home for a few weeks, coming back and doing my jail time will be much easier on me I think. No matter how long I have to serve. PKTAXWENCH: that book list is always changing LOL. I added a couple new ones to it.
Then, the plan is, after I get out of jail, I go back to work here for a while, get my face lasered, save more money, and then come home for a while( I want to stay home at least a MONTH before touring again.
But that's an idea. It all depends on what the judge says, but I do have high hopes that he will let me go home to 'get my things in order'. I just need a break, I really do, from staying in a hotel ( and Missy has been a Godsend but no matter how good a friend is, your own home, your own family and pets, that's the foundation of anyone's life, you know). Today I ended up riding the bike for 18 miles, and that's in addition to working! A girl took a serious tumble on the floor in heels JUST LIKE THE ONES IN MY ICON. Here's to every stripper who fell down on stage or on the floor. Those heels can be dangerous! I'm not joking. I mean it's funny and we're always laughing about accidents, but tripping and falling in those platforms ( platforms are far more stable than people think, but it's 7 or 8 inches off the ground) can cause serious injury.
I dare a guy to walk in those.
Just for laughs, I read in the local newspaper ( called TIDBITS of Douglas County...by the way, I was featured in there when I was arrested way back in May 2010...they do that apparently because there's so little arrests here. I should have saved that copy and posted it here on LJ! Yes, I made it to the Big League, Douglas County's Most Wanted haha) where there were two young men who got caught by cops throwing beer bottles at women. Their punishment? The judge gave them a choice: EITHER STAY SIXTY DAYS IN JAIL OR DRESS UP AS A WOMAN FOR AN HOUR AND WALK AROUND LIKE THAT DOWNTOWN. They chose the latter. Hell, if I was given a choice of dressing up like a GUY versus spending sixty days in jail I sure as shit would do it. I just thought it was an odd but funny punishment. I guess the judge felt they were disrespecting the women by throwing beer bottles. He most likely would not have offered the option if they had been tossing bottles at other dudes. :P
