I love blowing smoke rings. I've gotten pretty good at it too.
Me: "IDs please."
Customers: *keep walking by me*
Me: *tugs the leader's sleeve* "IDs."
Leader: *stops*
Woman: (right behind him) * keeps walking*
Me: *reaches out and stops her by the shoulder, speaks louder and firmer* "ID."
Man: (right behind her) "You don't have to grab her. There's nobody fucking in there anyway. How about you let us get to our table then come get us?"
Me: *raises eyebrow and looks him directly in the eye* "Or how about y'all show me your IDs right now like I asked or fuck off? I don't care which."
-_- I really want to love people, but they make it so hard so often. Oh well, I'm home with a bowl I got for free and some frozen pizza.
I was walking home from the bar wasted last night when some asshole tried to jump me. This is the 3rd time in my life someone has tried to mug me. This attempt wasn't anymore successful. In fact, given how drunk I was and the condition I left the dude in, I would say this one was the biggest fail yet.
A couple of weeks ago, an artist that comes into the bar I work at occasionally asked to see my poetry. I showed him my allpoetry account. He told me he was going to go through it to see if there was anything he'd like to use with his art and that I would get 30% from the sale of any such piece. He was in last night, no money but he apparently loves my poetry.
I moved to Kansas City with what seemed like a great opportunity, but it turned into a disaster when the job I had lined up fell through. It was the result of a case of mistaken identity. When they ran my criminal background check, the record of someone with a list of felonies and similar personal information popped up. I didn't find out that was the reason I lost the job until earlier this year though. Losing the job set me back, and I've been stuck in a mental/emotional/financial rut. It's not that I'd never been poor before, but I thought I was looking at the light at the end of the tunnel only to find myself back at the entrance.
I got lost to a frustration that grew into despair and made a mild depression become so much worse. I've not been very proud of myself, the way I've barely taken care of my home and have been so overwhelmed. It didn't help when my apartment flooded and most of what I owned was ruined. Then, having one roommate/friend cheat and steal from me before letting a different friend move in and watching them destroy themself with meth and heroin. Add into all that some bad dating experiences and the the fact that I don't really like this city, that would be enough to make me move even if I wasn't already the type to do so. I'm in serious need of a change and a reset.
Yeah... Moving next year will feel amazing I think.
I haven't been on much the last few years. It looks like this site is a lot less active than it was.
It looks like I will probably be moving to Seattle some time next year. I'm torn about it. I want a change of scenery, but I don't want to be so far from my best friend. I rarely get to see her as it is, and I'm afraid my loneliness will become overwhelming being so far away. It's stupid because I know we'll still talk all the time. I really think going would be good for me, I'm not happy in Kansas City and have been feeling the urge to move on for quite a while.
