Act II: Layla gets her groove back

What does a gay horse eat?

Heeeeeeeeeyyyyy!

So yeah, I know it's been a really long time since I've updated anything, and for that I truly suck. It's funny though, because Beckstasy was telling me about going back and reading old posts and realizing our brilliance and humor. When I go back and read mine I just sort of cringe! HA! Needless to say a lot has changed or gone on or whatevs since I last posted. I was just too busy or depressed to keep a running commentary going.

So yeah, I've since taken on, and then quit a second waitressing job. I just wasn't into it, and I was working constantly. It totally blew. I was very blue and cranky and meepy. Still not homesick, but intensely people sick. I couldn't make any plans or see any of the new people I'm trying to develop relationships with. So I says to myself, I says:

"This is not why you moved to Portland."

I re-crunched the numbers, and after remembering that I actually get paychecks from my wages, I could make it work. So I effin quit that other waitress job at the fish restaurant, and felt tons better. Then a really amazing opportunity dropped into my lap to fill in for a gal at a PR firm while she's on maternity leave. Now, THAT'S why I moved to Portland, to expose myself to new opportunities. I'm so thrilled that my buddy T'Beatcha had the good faith in me to suggest me for an interview. One turned to three, one of which last three hours alone. I'd never felt so confident about an interview though, and they responded in kind...so that's a huge boost for me and I couldn't be more excited to get it under way.

That means this week is my last week on the schedule at Touche. We came up with the joke that Touche years are like dog years. I can't believe I've only been there a month. It's not necessarily a complaint, because I'm not excited to be done there, I'm excited to just be done with waitressing. I'm really over it. The people have been really good to me, and I am flattered to have been welcomed into the cliquish little family they have. It'll be fun when I randomly pick up shifts.

So yeah, that's the past month or so for you. It feels like a lot longer. The weather has been unfuckingbelievable for the past few days, not a cloud in the sky. I already have a tan. For serious. I really am so affected by the weather, and I'm starting to worry about what winter is like here, but eff it. I'll burn that bridge when I come to it.

Annnnd, you better watch out, you better not cry, you better not pout I'm telling you why, Maura Mone is coming to town. I'm super excited about that shit meng! It's gonna be a funny bitch party when we go camping with her girls from Leeds.

I'm starting to really have a lot if fun. I've been skating more than ever, doing the 12 mile outdoor loop a few times. I feel great afterwards. Derbs is great of course, though we lost to GnR last night. I'm not to bent out about it, despite the flaws, I think it was a great game, and I really like all the broads I skated against. They're funtime peeps. We had a derby BBQ yesterday and it was a real blast also. Lots of food and chillaxing.

So I start my new job on Wednesday. Wish me e-luck. I don't really feel like proof reading this. I just can't be bothered. I hope it isn't boring. It might be, I don't want to disappoint the readership (all 7 of you good folks). Hope your taking your passion and making it happen too.

PS, I fucking miss me some Beckstasy. Now the pressure is on her to post something. Oh, and if you people are reading this, feel free to comment for us.
