I'm in a strategic phase in which I intend to figure out what to do until I jump ship for Portland. It's *probably* going to involve US Nats, and *may* involve GP Indianapolis, depending on whether people drop off the staff list and I can sneak my way onto it. It's unlikely that I will go if I'm not working. I should have arranged it earlier, but I wasn't planning on being in the midwest at that point. Either way, I want the DCI to be a focus. I have plenty of reviews still to write, which I plan on doing with my fluff week of school. I also want to look at another DCI project, and possibly formulate plans for an article. Damn, I love judging.
As far as the rest of my summer, well, I'm going to apply for a hostessing job at Weia Teia. I don't think I'll get it, what with my complete lack of previous work experience, but their "NOW HIRING" sign has been in the window for a while. Maybe they'll get desperate and take me. If I can't get that, I'll keep hunting. Maybe the new Moroccan restaurant needs waitwenches. It's in the death trap location, but I only need a job for three months. Hopefully they can last that long. Moon said they have a hookah bar, which is seriously awesome. I shall certainly be availing myself of that.
I'm going to try to hang out with the people that are in town for the summer, Aries in particular. I feel like Aries and I have unrealized potential as friends, and I'd like to remedy that before I leave. She's a great gal. I'm also 5 days away from being 18, and Aries has offered to introduce me to The Chamber, which sounds like it could be a good time. Certainly worth a try. She has an adventuresome spirit and I have a car, so perhaps fun will be had.
Quay's coming back Thursday. She wants to get her tongue pierced while she's home, and I am sorely tempted to go with her and get something of my own done. I do want a tongue bar, but I don't want my parents too pissed at me, so I may have to skip that for now. I don't think they can be hidden well enough. Yes, I know they're bad for you and can get infected. I do not care. My other choices are more ear holes, (which will be not well received, but better received by my parents than the tongue) and something more... hidden. I won't lie, horizontal nipple bars are pretty damn sexy. That probably provoked some scarring images in connection with me, but I don't particularly care. I'd be unwilling to do anything more prominent on my face for professionalism issues. If I ever need to get rid of the tongue, I can just take it out and let it heal. A small scar will not be noticeable. The same cannot be said for an eyebrow or a lip. Thoughts?
Basically, my summer plans are to figure myself out as best I can, live a little, and try to be content. It's a tall order, but I'm going to try.
