Happy Pride!
Posted Jun 27, 2005
26 June 2005
Gay Pride was this weekend at Piedmont Park in Atlanta. I went with a couple of friends to see the parade this afternoon. It would have been better had it not been sprinkling/misting rain and had the folding chair I brought with me not been gargantuan. Oh yeah, and I have a very large acne cyst on the left side of my chin. It is absolutely disgusting!!
Other than that it was a great day! They give all kinds of stuff out at the booths. It almost makes up for the outrageously overpriced food and beverages. I paid $7 for a cheese steak sandwich cause me and my friend, Michael, were very hungry. It wasn't very big, either. But we split it in half and wolfed it down anyway. Cokes were about $4 for a 20oz bottle (I had bought a Pepsi Vanilla at a petrol station before we left for Atlanta, heh heh!) and a bottle of water was $3. I don't even want to know how much the beer was!
After the parade we walked around the park and saw the booths (that was when I got the sandwich for me and Michael) and loaded up on goodies! An old friend of mine once said that if you leave with less than two bags of free stuff, then you haven't truly experienced the event (she said it about Vet Tech Expo, but the same rule applies here). Some booths even had contests with drawings or there were a few where you spun a wheel for a prize. There was even a "pick a duck" game (plastic ducks floating in a tub, you pick one up and go from there). I tried a wheel-spin game and won a cap, some pens, a dry-erase pad, a cup, a ruler, and a drawing to win something else. I was just hoping for a cup! LOL!
Alas, the Elton John AIDS Foundation booth was absent, just like last year. This has been my 4th Pride festival and in the past two years that booth hasn't been there. I guess they couldn't find anyone with decent credit for their credit cards and gave up. Oh well....I was hoping to get another rainbow towel for Web Masta this year. Maybe next year....

It's past 2am and I'm still awake. Pet Care Associates called me to tell me that nothing can be made final til the doctor interviews one last person and comes back from his trip (no idea if it's a vacation or what) and they figure out who's staying and who's living PCA. GREAT! And I got fired from the job I had cause I went to their friggin interview. Really smegging great! What am I supposed to do til then? I can't leach off my mom. It's not right!
The economy is crap right now and will be for a loooooong time, too. Erego, it's gonna be hell to find work. Dammit!
Web Masta is unemployed as well. I miss her horribly and wish I could talk to her. But, I sometimes wonder how she feels about me. Usually she's kinda cold to me, like I either don't exist or she is trying to ignore me in hopes I'll go away. But when she's been drinking - whoa momma! All of a sudden it's like we've been friends since school! She treats me totally different when she's had about ten beers. Either way, I still love her very much and wish I could talk to her more often. I know how to reach her - email, phone, posts, don't think she has any IM services anymore, so that's out. With any of them I worry that I'm bothering her and/or Big Daddy, that I might be a third wheel or just an annoyance altogether. That's why I don't communicate with a lot of my friends, I don't want to be a bother or burden, etc.
So.....I sit here....
Alone....
*sigh*
Maybe I should go ahead and become a bitch hermit....

Curious....very curious....

I received a very curious email today from someone with the email address [email protected], who had typed into the subject "Well!" S/He also had in the "to" area, "Madman", and signed it "Peng-an". The message was "Greetings white man! : )"
I have no idea who this is or what this means. I'm not a man. I'm a lesbian. I'm not exactly white, either. I'm 1/4 Native American.
Another thing is I haven't given out the email address I use on Outlook to anyone besides my closest friends. This email had no attachment of any kind, so no viruses, thankfully. I have no idea who this person is or how s/he got my email addy.
If anyone has any ideas, pass them on! This is kinda creepy!
Ah, yes, I'm working now. I don't like the job one bit and am looking for something else, but it will do for now. The pay is fairly good and I need the money so I will stick with it for now.
And I'm not saying what it is, either. Web Masta has already tried to interrogate me and failed, so you lot have no chance of finding out either! THPPT!!

Still unemployed
Posted Jun 8, 2005
8 June 2005
I am still unemployed, despite applying to twenty companies and attending three interviews. Animal Medical Care dicked around with me so much that I've written them off. Starbucks interviewed me and said they'd call me later that day (Monday). No call. I've applied online to Food Lion and Quik Trip (grocery store and fuel station). Maybe I will hear from one of them soon.
I'm getting scared now. Cash is very tight here and new things have come up that need financial appeasement from myself and my mother. Tomorrow I'm going to hit the pawn shops with some stuff I don't use anymore. I've got an old television with a green hue to the screen, a snare drum, an old computer monitor, an inkjet printer, a tractor printer, and some assorted computer parts. Maybe I can get $100 or so for that lot. That will help us some. I would like to ditch DSL to help save cash, but I signed a contract for one year and two years with my cellular phone.
It just doesn't seem to end. I should be in Ohio right now, dammit! I should be living in a small apartment in St Clairsville, behind the park. I should be in bed, asleep, about to wake up and go to work somewhere. I should be hanging out with Big Daddy and making brownies with Web Masta. I would be happy. I would be so f*****g happy. I'd be away from my f****d up family. I'd be orgasmically happy.
Alas, instead I sit at this computer at 5:25am, unable to sleep (always been a bit of a nightowl, really), chainsmoking (almost quit before I was supposed to leave), screaming inside my head, wishing I had the guts to call Web Masta, and generally hating Life.
Again, any info on what it's all about and all would be welcome. And no religious gunk either. I'm starting to not buy it anymore. Seems like a bloody load to me these days.

My cat is so deprived....NOT!

Last week I applied at another animal hospital in Gainesville. According to Dr Ingles, they need an experienced technician very badly. Apparently, four years of experience was plenty, cause I applied, had an interview the next day, did a working interview on Monday (23 May), and once the tech manager (I guess that's what she is) talks to the owner of the clinic (who has been in friggin Europe for the past week) I should have a job.
I would really like to be working right now. I have bills that require financial appeasement. I would like to be able to purchase food, fuel, and pop, and have my car's oil changed. I would really like to open a new bank account with a much more nationally known bank and open a new savings account for my GTFAFG fund (Get The F**k Away From Georgia).
Actually, I'd much prefer to be sitting in an apartment in St Clairsville, Ohio, typing something much more happy into my journal. In the kitchen would be a platter of brownies fresh from the oven, with peanut butter chips and macademia nuts. In the living room would be Big Daddy, playing Goldeneye on my N64 and laughing as he blew up a tank or something. Also in the kitchen would be Web Masta, having just accepted some pizza from the delivery guy and about to call us both in to eat it. In my lap would be Aidan, my sweet charcoal grey cat. He would run into the kitchen and beg for some pizza with the meow that he uses when he wants people to think he hasn't eaten in days and is a neglected deprived animal. He's so full of s**t.
