(no subject)
I dunno why I'm still up. I have an interview at like 10am tomorrow morning (was supposed to have it this afternoon but homegirl forgot about me).
I decided to stay up to job search. I sent my resume to one place and then spent the rest of the night searching for New Orleans bounce music on myspace. I wanted to add a certain song to my page, which I did.
I feel like goin out and dancin to some bounce this weekend. Maybe I'll call up my high school friend, Nikki, tomorrow. There's a homecoming this weekend that I was tryin to avoid at all costs but I might as well go to that. Why not? I'm not doin anything that important. Okay okay...I'm not doing anything at all except job hunting and interviewing.
Anywho, on my search I decided to look up the "ratchet" dance song by some Louisiana artists. It's real popular down here and everybody gets crazy when it comes on including me. It was amusing to find an article in the New York Times about it: http://www.nytimes.com/2006/10/19/arts/music/19sann.html?ex=1318910400&en=5f344129fc363c02&ei=5088&partner=rssnyt&emc=rss. It helped me find the lil boosie myspace page (http://myspace.com/lilboosieratchetbadazz). Now I just gotta practice the ratchet dance so I won't look like an idiot in the club...whenever I go. I need to go clubbin in New Orleans before I move to DC or New York where I'll never hear that bounce that I grew up with.
That's one thing about living in these different places...I'm attached to each one in different ways. Like right now I want to go back to NYC. I'm missing something about it...the hustle and bustle maybe. But then DC is so comfortable for me and I have sort of a homebase there. And New Orleans, though annoying to be in right now, is home and holds this authenticity for me that could never be found anywhere else.
Well whatever...one day I'll find what I'm looking for. I don't know why I'm always looking for something. Maybe I should stop looking and let myself be found. Ha! I'm too impatient for that. And, secretly, too much of a control freak.
Then, of course, I'm missing Virgil. If I was still with him I would have booked a flight and gone to live with him for a minute while I interview. I'm lonely here too. I mean, I have my family but my friends don't live here. I'm not one to go out alone. And I don't like to go out with my sister cause she's older and she and I don't hang in the same way. I'm trying to keep myself busy cause when I'm not I'm thinking about Virgil and eating too much. I knew this would happen after the election. Blah. The funny thing about me missing Virgil is it's more of a lonely thing. I seem to have gotten over our actual relationship pretty quickly. Guess I am the type that can take em or leave em. Yeah right....
Guess I should go to sleep er something
