Hello Droogs! I trust you are all doing well this holiday season. I must apologize for my lack of updates, however most of you are already on my Facebook so you have seen all my new pictures and schtuff.
Since I last wrote there have been some changes. I am still sporty spice playing soccer and hockey and working out (down 30+ lbs). I've been also limiting my junk and really trying not to eat fast food. Being a shift worker it's really very hard.
Also, I've been playing Santa for the kiddies, which is really hard for some people to believe considering there are many aspects of my personality which are not Santa-like. I have to take out my piercings and try and cover my tattoos as best I can to play Santa for example. This whole Santa thing started when last year I mentioned to my Mom that I wished I had a Santa outfit to play the big guy for our family Christmas party. Well this year she surprised me and said she had spent well over $400 on fabric (you out there who sew (Vanessa, Lady_L) can probably attest to that!). Both my Mom and I agreed that if I am going to be Santa it's go big or go home. I spent $170 on my beard and wig alone, but it's super nice and Mall-Santa quality. Next were my boots which I purchased from a costume shop at $60. Finally, I wanted a cool belt so I checked E-bay and bought a really sweet leather belt with a giant 'S' buckle surrounded by snowflakes. The belt also has loops on it to carry candy-canes like ammo! Only $100.
The total combined cost of my Santa is just over $1000, BUT, I can play Santa for many years to come and with the parties I did, everyone was really impressed and happy. I have found that I may not be able to compete with mall Santas due to their age (most don't even need beards/wigs!) but I can compete in "Cool Factor" ie. When a little boy asks me for a Transformer I ask which one and then proceed to tell him my favorite! That blows kids away!
Anyway if you are on my facebook you should see the pics. I'm too lazy to post them.
Blah there's really so much to tell in my personal life. Still taking medication for my anxiety, still have anxiety attacks, still single, but flirting with my ex (the one who cheated). Apparently she has been single ever since she "cheated" and our whole break-up was a huge miscommunication. I won't go into details, but the coles notes version is that I thought she was chosing another boy over me when in fact she fucked an ex and she knew it was a mistake. Had I known I would have been willing to work it out.. I dunno.. we'll see I guess.
There are a few other femme fatales out there eyeing me and I'm in no rush. I strongly believe things happen for a reason, and that fate isn't kind to those who rush it.
I'll post more later. Just wanted to stop in and say I hope everyone is having a good Holiday season thus far.
