I have had an incredibly fun past several days. and an incredibly interesting past few days.
from both bare-handed and wooden spoon spankings, to showing my managers the profusion of dick pics i receive lately at a gay bar, to receiving fist fulls of condoms from little latin gay boys at a straight bar... from much needed sexytimes at unexpected times and places, to interesting sister-bar-fight-broken-finger-stories, to... so much more.
I think after tonight I will finally be tuckered out. it has been one long event since tuesday night last week. and it all culminated in a strange full night evening indeed. I think every single person i know, including myself, was faced with some form of a challenge or another.
life is truly interesting. I enjoy observing it. sometimes it gobbles me up and then spits me back out, though. splat!
today i went to the first read-through of the play with most of the actors out in bidwell park. Mikey, my ex, has a new boyfriend, and i play opposite him as his character's love interest.
Why is my life a soap opera? I guess i could choose to not be in the play if i really wanted couldn't handle it, but I see it more as a challenge that i can meet. a sort of test of the strength of character I possess. I think i can be totally cool with this guy and even make friends. just not with mikey. I guess it's not so bad, I guess. I think some people would be too freaked out.
i went for coffee at aroma after.
since it was so busy 2 weeks ago at work, the check i got just this last friday was rather substantial. it covers rent all by itself. so that portion, i consider spent.
Iceland is coming. I'm really cutting it close with getting everything figured out. I'm just not a planner. I figure it out when it comes to it. That just doesn't scare me. i know i'll be fine.
but that's if i get to go. there's 1 problem. My sister got into a bar fight with the bartender's wife at her new job she just got a week and a half ago. like face punching, rip earrings out, hair puling, dragging across the floor fight. She might not have a job anymore.
this means she might not have a source of income. again. The last time i had a major trip planned, this happened - her losing her job. I had almost saved up all the money i needed to buy tickets to Istanbul, had gotten my passport, was figuring out transportation in the city... nd then she lost her job. AND michael was short on rent. so i had to use alllll of my money to pay rent and bills.
I know i don't make much, and if i decided to go to iceland despite my sister possibly not having a way to pay her rent in july, we'd basically all be fucked... but i am considering just letting us be fucked so i can go on my stupid trip.
i think i have enough friends that would be more than willing to put me up if it came to that, but her... Not so sure. Honestly, i don't think it will come to that.
like always, i think she will land on her fet, and so will i, and so will michael, and we'll all be fine, just like it always turns out. I just feel like the stress she causes other people with her shenanigans is really unfair. but then again, i'm sure i must do unfair things that she can tell me about.

Kung Food on main stCategory: food
i went to kung food on main st... it's next door to ming, by UB south. very yummy food. i got the night market fish, with glass noodles and Asian potato salad. i also got a strawberry, red bean bubble tea. a unique flavor, indeed.
before that i stopped into record theatre and saw a record compilation of Tamil synth pop from 80s movies. i wanted it soooo bad.

!! Believe it or not, I grew up listening to songs from that particular movie. Pretty cool songs. We really didn't know what they were singing about at that point but later learnt the lyrics were full of double entendres.
Mum just threw away the disintegrating tape recorder cassettes a few years back ... I think.
What are the odds you saw it in Buffalo?!!?! I am boggled!

pre and postCategory: food
my dad took us out to blue fin for dinner after graduation. i wasn't expecting anything, so it was quite nice... we got the titanic. we also split the basil shrimp.
i wore my cowboy shirt, tucked in with dress slacks. it looked nice.
it felt really good to be close with loved ones. i was a tad sad i couldn't have everyone there i wanted but nothing beats having your mom and dad say they are proud. my mom and sister were crying in the audience when we came out to the floor to our seats. it made me choked up to see. it was a good day.
before i me from for buff state, April, Michael, and i had cocktails. caramel vodka, Bailey's, cream, and vanilla ice cream.
Wow. That's a lot of things. Your sister should be on a reality tv show. It would solve the rent issue and I think a lot of people would enjoy it. Maybe you should write a screen play about her.
