ooh wee! did i have a good time last night!

seriously, i have not partied like that in a loooong time. glad pmt joined in the fun. thanks trj for the best party i've been to in years!

thanks terry for all the humping and booty punching. save the date for the first sat in august for the pool party at my house. all those that want to have the same kind of fun, need to let me know now, so i can get the supplies ready.

man, i'm kinda cracked out today. but much better than having a hangover.

oh yeah, who ever finds a picture of my nipple on their camera, DO NOT POST IT, the nipple wasnt hard enough.

i went to ECMC today to get my travel shots for china. after shelling out $400 for both me and my daughter, i was poked three times; once for tetanus, once for hepatitis A, and once for typhoid.

luckily, my insurance will reimburse me for this expense. unfortunately my mother's will not.

i had an interview today with the New England Research Institutes for a field interviewer position. this position would require me o travel throughout new york state and interview 192 physicians for a racial/ethnic disparities in diabetes, study.

the interview went well, it seemed that i was doing most of the interviewing and it was probably the most informal interview i've had. they said they will definitely be in touch late next week or early following week (because of the holiday) for a second interview. i hope that they will offer me some serious money. i can't imagine that they would offer anything below 35K but i would like something closer to 45K. with my luck they'll be dishing out 25K.

i would like to tell all of you about our crazy weekend but i've left that up to (e:ladycroft) hopefully she'll post soon with pictoral evidence of our drunken stupidity and scary stalking behavior.

mmm, my mommy just made some yummy steak tartare






nice and bloody!

here is some of the stuff i have created in the past week. feel free to commission me, cuz i is damn broke! :)


oh and by the way, new user sound. jane said to do it.

People:
1. How did you find out about/why did you become of estrip?

i was doing a google search on club diablo and stumbled onto (e:flaciness)' journal.

2. How "out" are you about having a publicly accessible online journal. Do your friends know? Does your family know? Do your co-workers know? Does your boss know? Do you use your real name? Do you use your real photo?

i am semi-out, mostly because i have shown pics to people, of gatherings, outing's, etc. i always hoped they weren't paying attention, but most of them usually ask, "what site is this?" and then i have to explain.

my family knows, mostly because the site is always up on my laptop, and because i have to explain how i've gained so many friends in such a short period of time.


3. How many epeeps have you met real life?

hmmm, can't count, but they are the ones that are present at estrip parties.


4. How has estrip changed the way that you meet people, on and/or off line?

i can't say it has changed it by much, i still would not be inclined to meet people from other sites, i.e. myspace, dating sites, etc. somehow this does not seem like an internet community because it is local, and people get together and are real (in the fleshy kind of way).

5. How has estrip affected you love life?

not at all. i have become completely asexual, so i no longer need a love life.

6. How many of your friends have joined estrip because of your influence?

2, but they are lame bastards and don't post much. i had a lot of people tell me that this site is difficult to figure out, which i don't understand, as it was easy enough for me, so i will assume they are LAZY, lame bastards, instead.

7. Are you from Buffalo/do you live in Buffalo?

i am from poland and moved to buffalo when i was nine. i lived on the east side throughout high school and then in both buffalo and baltimore simultaneously when i was a flight attendant. later, i lived on breckenridge and st. james pl. now i live with family in tonawanda, but wish i could afford elmwood area.


Equipment:
1. What type of hardware or software purchases have you made as a result of using estrip?

none.

2. Have you used the mobile version of estrip? Why or why not?

no, i am too cheap to pay for internet access on my sprint phone.

Lifestyle:
1. In what way has estrip changed your Internet surfing habits? Describe the amount of time you spend on estrip, when you use it and about how long?

i spend a lot more time on the internet now. i check this site....oh let me see......about 17 times a day! seriously, i spend too much time here.

1a. How many journals do you usually read per day?

i usually read all, unless i'm in a bad mood, then i pick and choose.

2. In what ways has estrip changed the way you perceive your local community?

i always knew that elmwood was a cool place. i honestly expected a lot more hippies, tree huggers, and activists of some sorts, to be here, but i guess most people are just as lazy as i, and just leave the activism for others to do.

3. How has journaling about your life affected the way you spend your free time?

um, i don't think i journal much. i've been here loner than some and have fewer journals compared to them. i don't like writing because i am lazy.

4. Has estrip changed your living situation in any way?

nope.


5. Do you find that you mediate/document more of your experiences now that you share them with others?

well, the fact that i journal AT ALL, is surprising to me, because i've never kept a journal or diary, so yeah. and i know my kid knows about the site, so i have to watch what i say. that reminds me, maybe i should go back and edit some old posts.

6. Has publishing on estrip affected the way that write?

i do have to check my spelling and grammar, although not very well, and that is the major reason why i don't post more often. like i said, im laaaaaazy.

7. Do you have other online journals? If so, with what service and has estrip affected your usage of that journal?

nope.

8. Have you ever gotten in trouble for using estrip at work?

not yet.

9. If you have stopped using estrip, why?

i couldn't if i tried.
