Hi Maisie!!! I had to give you a quick shout-out since you used ALL CAPS earlier...I didn't want you to worry.
OMG girls!!! I am soooo sorry I've been MIA for awhile. I've been traveling like a
MOFO from here to VA then to MD putting myself out there and working on demos for my job. And I've been too wiped to do anything else but sleep. Sorry
Last week I realized that I desperately need a change of scenery and absolutely have to get out of NC. My family is driving me CUH-RAZY and I feel like if I don't leave I'll resent them for it later, and I don't want that. Since I see them pretty much everyday it's really hard to escape the ever constant disparaging remarks about my chosen profession (ie: "That's not a REAL job") I wish they would have voiced their opinions on the subject 5 years ago when I declared it as my major, it would have made things a helluva lot easier for me now.
Plus my grandmother is back on her "Get (insert real name here) married off and pregnant by X-Mas crusade". She's hand picking respectable Christian men for me in her spare time, which is
all the time since she's retired. Don't get me wrong they really are some of the nicest, sweetest guys I've ever met, but you girls know me well enough to know that it's just not gonna happen. I'd like very much to tell her the *cough* truth, but there is no doubt in my mind that they'll disown me the second I utter those words. That would mean that I'd be leaving the religion I grew up in and my family behind, which I'm not ready for emotionally. Well over 10 years ago I saw what happened with my uncle...and he's not even GAY!!! He just wanted to go live on his own and leave our religion, they haven't spoken to him since with the exception of a death in the family or a new born baby. But social visits are out of the question. They even cut him out of the will and in so many words told me that if I don't stick with "them" that the same will happen to me.
I feel an impending Sh*t Storm a-brewin' and I'm looking for refuge in the worst way!!! I've never really been a "Glass half full" kinda girl I'm more of a realist and I know things are only gonna get worse before they get better but *fingers crossed* right?
*Tofu Rant Finis* On a MUCH lighter note: Weez if you posted a video of yourself on the Tubes reading a book, speaking in that delicious accent, sipping Chia, and arching a single eyebrow over your black frame glasses in reflection of the last passage you read...I'd be all over it!!! And yes in the dirty kind of way
BB, what the HELL!? I don't think you realize what you've done to me here. I mean seriously Julia effing Roberts!? I may be mistaken, but I think that you're a virtual hit man/assassin sent to torture me. I actually shuddered when I saw that picture...tingles and all. Thank You!!!
I looked through the last few pages that I missed in my absence and I just have to say: "How friggin' cute is Ingrid Michaelson??!!" Yikes!!
I can't be the only one here, gay or straight, that finds Beth Orton attractive!!! I've been on a bit of an indie acoustic kick lately so Beth Orton is very hot...at least she's hot to me.
And my "Go Straight" crush is definitely on Joshua Radin YOWZA!!!
You lovely ladies have a wonderful day
XO
