I’m a little embarrassed at the amount of effort it took to get Dark Lord Ema the Leia Slave girl top, but I clearly went ahead and did it. (Taken with instagram)
This week I had two dudes invite me to see bands with them - one in March and one in April. What does it mean?? It’s SO far out.
This week everyone is back at work (from snow, vacations, conferences) and the countdown seems to be on to the moment where I have to work closely with a dude at I went on a couple of dates with last year that totally did not call.
I know he (and everyone) notices my presence in the building at work more than I notice them (I have boobs and green hair), but he and I awkwardly pathed-around each other a couple of times this week.
I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to balance knowing the pool of eligible dudes and professional connections are the same pool of people, but I’m pretty sure, awkwardly crossing paths, that I would make the EXACT BAD DECISION that I did a couple of months ago a second time.
Seriously, careers kind of suck. Appropriateness sucks.
But whatever, I’m hanging out with a hotter guy tomorrow night so
Managed to take a situation where I was getting set up as the fall guy and spin it as a victory for teamwork and for everyone involved.
I think, I might not be terrible at my job, I feel like a project management super hero for owning the situation like that.
I’m also too exhausted to leave the house tonight (but I have a PAID recording gig tomorrow morning anyways, so it’s for the best…)
1: It’s mostly applied to girls. Boys are allowed to state what they like more often without being accused of being overly individualistic. *edited to add it also seems to be applied to trans* people a lot.
2: I have seen it used several time now by misogynists who want to put down a girl who…
I never really thought about how it’s applied mostly to girls, huh. I think you’re right though. I hear someone saying the phrase in my head in a tone of voice I can only think of as “know your place”.
I’m doing a recording session and playing a concert with the Northwest Symphony (I think? I don’t even know the name of the group I just showed up on time for rehearsal)…
This might sound completely dumb, but let me say - playing Ravel is like, EVERYTHING I HATE about playing classical music. Someone remarked to me that the piece (Daphnis et Chloe) is pretty, and I agreed without thinking. In actuality, I find the piece, even listening to it, to be tedious and laborious, expressive for the sake of being expressive rather than full of feeling…
I spent most of rehearsal marveling how in classical music, for me, something can be “pretty” where “pretty” is a flat adjective. ”Oh, this piece has all of the stuff and structure of pretty” where the “stuff and structure” is 99% constructs I hate in classical music.
I spent most of the day yesterday in bed, and am still in bed right now (9:21am pst). I think, perhaps, this isn’t good.
edit: This post was supposed to go to the other blog. I have had a really rough like, 3-4 days which I think is hormone related.
A friend of my mine signed up for a Chinese social networking website.
ARE YOU READY TO (inadvertently) MEET YOUR FATE?
Check it out Lincoln friends, it’s your favorite Seattle rapper! (I actually really like him, and am pissed off I didn’t figure out how to talk with him. Stupid social anxiety and awkward nerdyness GRR)
