it just never goes away
I love how just about every other year i rediscover that i have a livejournal and then start to write in it again after i have read over all the things that were happening to me a year ago which i dont remember. Sometimes i think that if i didnt write in this every once and awhile i would forget all the good and bad that has happened to me and maybe i come back to it everytime i forgot what i start to forget what i have gone through.
So its a year and a half later and since my last post 80 weeks ago I have moved to Portland OR. And in 10 days I will be starting my roadtrip back to the east coast to move back home at least for a few years.
Times here in PDX have been good and bad...mostly the latter. lets hit the basics shall we?
housing:
1. NE 35th ave - come back from vacation to find my stuff in garage
2. Homeless for about 3 week..couchsurfer
3. NE 13th ave - taken in by arron..live in his room for 2 weeks
4. NE 15th ave - crazy roomate puts screws in my tires ..i move out
5. SE 64th ave - now sick of NE i move into deep SE where i live with aaron..we drive each other crazy..i decided i need to move back to MA
Jobs:
1. Halibuts fish and chips - yep..i deep fry fish and serve it to yuppies all day long. my boss is a stoner and i get fired becasue i dont flirt with him enough.
2. Arabian breeze - waitress..they train me..kinda..then put me on by myself with 20 tables..i freaked out and quit the next day
3. Portland Zoo. - Really stoked on it..really easy..but they decided after i had worked there for a month that i could no longer have my tattoos showing..after a week of being in a long sleeve shirt and long pants in a little 100 degree ticket booth for a week i quit
4. Hawthorn strip - Yes its a strip club. Yes I'm currently dancing there..for the past 8 months. I love it. I'm very sad i have to leave the girls there. Its gonna be hard to go back to a normal job.
however there are some good things that came out of all this. I'm much more aware of myself now and enjoy being by myself. I value my close friends much more and dont waste time on people who arnt worth it. I can handle myself in social disasters however my temper has not improved that much. ;) I deffinatly feel that being tossed around by assholes and being left to fend for myself so often has matured me alot. Lets see if that holds up when i get home.
