On a plane.
Watching a movie with my headphones on. I’m watching Dirty Dancing. This movie is such a guilty pleasure for me. I really like Jerry Orbach. This movie is so pleasantly ridiculous. I’ve used that word a lot this week.
Enjoying the solitude, and the thought of being at home soon.
I miss my own bed.
After a week of sleeping on a pull-out couch, being at home in my own space with my own bed and the arms I know around me will feel like an embrace. I miss my own food and my own pets and my own things. I miss the pile of clean clothes and the eternally dirty dishes and the humidity making the air feel like soup.
I’ve felt like I was made of paper for the last week.
Dried up and blown away. Crumbly, like I was fragile and useless. I’ll be back home where the night is soft and you sweat like you’ve been fucking the moment you leave the house. Back to my ghosts and my surging riot of music on every corner, gone on tendrils of bougainvillea-scented tropical air as soon as you round the block.
I’m going home.
That said, I'm in Vegas. I miss New Orleans, and the people in it, a ton. I have no idea how I'm going to deal with this until Friday. I know, it sounds extreme. It's a week. In a place I've never been to before. But traveling alone is less exciting than I thought it would be. It's mostly just lonely. I take a thousand pictures of stupid things, because I want to be able to share this with someone. I know we're made of our experiences, but I think that maybe our experiences are only validated when we share them with someone. Maybe. Or maybe for just me. Either way, I'm not enjoying myself so much.
I'll update more when I have more time. I'm gonna go ride on a rollercoaster.
- 08:27 The never ending night. But fun today with Melissa might even be better than sleep. #
- 14:18 I winned first place in the first round at the slot tournament! Woo hoo! Go me! #
- 18:45 I just winned. To the tune of five grand. No longer worried about my vacation sucking due to lack of funds. #
- 18:53 @fitofwhimsy you only want me for my monies! #
- 22:24 On my way to work. Exhausted. Got about two hours of sleep today. Can't say it wasn't worth it though. #
- 04:43 @annoysteph it will make you sick, but as a grownup, you have the freedom to drink or eat ice cream till you hurl. #
- 04:59 @annoysteph can't help you with that. But I can buy you a beer. #
- 19:17 @SnowyDoom I'm pretty psyched myself! #
- 03:50 The quantam whorosity of the bourbon street population is off the charts #
- 13:01 My rats have seen a vet now. They're gonna be fine. #
- 18:14 “They flimflammed us,” he said Friday, adding, “That's an old term for being swindled through chicanery and deception.” Awesome sentence! #
- 18:25 @excourier Actually, I define my entire existence by the availability and consumability of cookies. Don't be hatin'. #
- 20:12 Want to take a nap. Can't sleep though. Gonna be a zombie at work tonight. #
- 07:13 What a bizarre night. But I did get to see a stranger's blood so that was cool. #
- 21:03 It seems like everywhere I walk past is playing Michael Jackson. I wonder if its just Joshua tree phenom or what? #
- 22:44 @starchaos yay linkin park? You're dead to me now. #
- 02:35 Yay for snazzy new hair colors! #
- 19:21 The afternoon cloudburst was fun, and much needed. Walked in the rain and procured hair dye and extentions. Exciting! #
- 21:18 @fitofwhimsy just goof off. add some stripes #
- 23:00 This awesome look was totally worth an hour of hair and makeup. And roughly 50 bobby pins. I am immodest! #
- 05:46 Heading to get a bitters and soda for the walk home. How is it that I can feel so awful when I look so cool? #
- 06:23 There's another cat, sitting by the place I saw one hit the other night, crying. Now I'm sad all over again. #
- 17:44 Reading ghosty urban legends and watching loki stare crazily out from her sunbeam. #
- 20:31 Drink this hurricane! Its good here! It has more melanin in it than other drinks! Overheard at Flanagans. #
- 21:17 @Mirageofthesoul. No it was some jerks from Wyoming. #
- 18:27 Made a salad for the rats. Om nom nom nom. #
- 00:21 My witty repartee is somewhat lost on most of these marks. At least the dancers get it. #
- 01:21 Finally sold a room. Now if only jukebox would shut up, it would almost be serene. #
- 08:01 Dead cat on the road made me phenomenally sad. #
- 10:41 I have our flamabble leader's spit all over my face and neck. His beard scratched my face. #
- 11:02 Eating an awesome salad and trying to forget what his hugging felt like. #
- 00:39 I'm nauseated by your obvious boner. Have you no shame, sir? Also, though you do not have $1100, that doesn't mean no one does. Just you. #
- 02:07 We just sold a dom room to mike judge! The guy behind office space! And beavis and butthead! And so much more! And he's awesome! Score! #
- 07:41 Classic Vu construction. Lay down the new subfloor on top of the old nasty tile. #
- 07:53 Let me take a minute for a father's day sentiment: I'm really glad most of our male staff have not knowingly reproduced. #
- 16:13 No plans today after all. Looks like I'm going to have to entertain myself. #
- 22:04 I have spent way too much time today considering fragrance. I know I'm stressed when I really focus on minutiae and ignore all else. #
- 02:13 @chadlicious I have that version! Its awesome! #
- 03:07 Watching robocop at r bar. Dylan and I's new code names are Murphy and Lewis. #
- 04:22 The talking skeleton from the last unicorn is here. He'll be my friend. #
- 09:51 Dylan is hardcore lamenting that he left his sleeping mask in tom and Erica's shopping bag. Now its in Philly. #
- 20:30 I made experimental cookies. cranberry lime granola bar #
- 20:24 @excourier at least it's not in Texas. #
- 00:31 One of the rats just moved everything into one corner of the cage, and then buried it in bedding. I'm confused. I thought rats were smart. #
- 00:53 @fitofwhimsy The super pretzel was only really sad because you're used to so much better. Peach cobblers are going to feel sad to you now. #
- 22:04 Getting ready for work in a minute and thinking of the rest of the week. #
- 23:12 Dylan's 20 minute vocal masterpiece rendition of choose your illusion may not have been the ideal getting ready for work music. #
- 00:22 Once again I'm reminded that my job really doesn't like me much. #
- 16:23 Okay, the rats have a cleaner habitat. Now on to my day #
- 20:23 Trying to find a restaurant for dinner. This is much harder then I thought it would be. #
- 04:15 Talking about doyle's knuckle tattoos. Knuckle tattoos come up a lot in conversation around me. #
- 14:19 Walking around the quarter. Stylin with the parasol #
- 22:49 Exercising my ability to be in the same bar and not fraternize. #
- 04:36 My life is a mess #
- 04:46 Too much alcohol, too little indescretion. #
- 15:30 Rented a car. Going to the mall. #
- 20:53 I have new pets! Also, I have a hard time controlling my spending at petco. #
- 23:04 Their names are Fiauxna and Apollinaire. Awesome. #
- 00:04 Headed to the airport to retrieve @fitofwhimsy and @everythingspins! Woo! #
- 08:07 quartermaster for breakfast #
- 14:50 What? I lose an entire almost two days of tom and Erica? This is catastrophic! I am so upset I feel frozen. #
- 15:13 Just hit point-crazy. Actually figured out how much it is to rent a car to drive there and back. Surprisingly affordable. #
- 18:09 @excourier In return, I'll attempt to make this the best days in new orleans ever. #
- 18:33 To say that I am a little frustrated right now would be painting me in the most complimentary light imaginable. #
