The zoo here was really big! I liked it a lot. There were baby cheetahs (four months old). They were soooooo cute! There was also a baby panda. I love baby animals! I was exhausted by the time I left. It was just so huge. I was wearing a skirt, so I ended up with a bunch of bug bites on my legs.

I'm missing Portland right now. 
It is the part of the day that I ran out of stuff to do on my own and want someone else. Oh well.
I went to the National Gallery of Art today. It was truly amazingly breathtaking. I didn't even make it all the way through, so I will have to go back. I took a bunch of pictures...

Yup, I moved from Scotland to Maryland 2 years ago to do my MFA. Last month was the first time I'd been home to Scotland in two years!!! Can you believe that!
I teach art at Maryland to fund my study there, I only have another year left and after that...well who knows. I'd like to teach here a little longer if I can and I need to see a whole lot more of the country!
I walked out on a party or two myself!!! My main problem was that I just cannot get my head around the sorority/fraternity culture thing, if you can call it that! They all started asking me really dumb questions, like if we have cars back in Scotland!
The zoo here is one of the best I think I've been to, the enclosures are really big, I think you'll like it! I've never been to the cathedral though!
I need to make it into DC a lot more!!! There's a few places I've always wanted to go to and some of my friends are real sticks in the mud! If you ever want to go someplace I'll happily tag along! I begin teaching again next week but I'm pretty sure I'll still have time! I'll make a cardboard cut out of myself and place it in front of class with a tape recording of incoherent Scottishness, that'll confound 'em!!
Those falls are beautiful, I love your photos!

I haven't written in this in forever because I haven't had the internet. It was unexpected, otherwise I would have said something!
Anyway, I am at American University in Washington DC. I just got here a few days ago and just got the internet working the night before last. I am really excited, but am probably more nervous. It's harder than I thought it would...

Thanks to everyone that wished me a happy birthday! It was really sweet.
My birthday was absolutely nuts. First of all, I was on some kind of emotional roller coaster that day so I went from feeling euphoric to miserable back to euphoric, etc. I'm not really sure why that was, but it was an odd sensation.

Hey. Hope all is well. Wanted to compliment you on the new profile pic and hope everything is happy is healthy! Be good and don't be a stranger!
I am getting my very first cavity filled today. Sad.
My birthday is this weekend and I wish I could stop it from happening. I want to lock myself in a room all weekend and pretend the world stopped. I'm sure that it will end up being fun, but the stuff I looked forward to doing the most got canceled.

I'm not dead! I am just really extremely busy. I actually am not going to my second job tonight because my endometriosis is acting up really bad. I don't know why. I can't understand it. All I know is that on Tuesday I was in a little pain, very insignificant so I ignored it, then on Wednesday it got really bad and has stayed that...

We went to SPURS, it used to be a country bar.
STitches_u_up came into the strip club yesterday. It was really cool! He was very generous, and that is something that I can always appreciate! He brought in his fiancee. She is extremely cute; she has really pretty lips. I was starring at them whenever I spoke with her.

hey lover,
I don't think it's stupid at all the way you feel. I had a "breakup" with a friend of mine for about 8 mths and I was a wreck. (take a look at my journal a few mths back) There are friends you get closer to than your boyfriend or girlfriend. I can understand if this guy was the first man you got close to emotionaly. Just checking in on you. Hope you can feel better about this.

Siddhartha and the Unbearable lightness of Being are among some of the most thought provoking masterpieces of our time. Just thought I'd let you know. 
I had a dream last night that I was taking a shower with a lesbian friend of mine. It was very interesting. Also in that dream I took my boyfriend to the strip club that I work at. He disappeared somewhere and I ran into this guy that I thought was super, I mean SUPER hot in high school; although, in my dream he was...

Jesus Christ! What the fuck is wrong with my body??? I cannot believe that I am awake! Ahhhh! I worked Thursday thru Saturday at the strip joint. Thursday I trained, so I wasn't there that long, but Fri and Sat I worked 9pm to 4am.
My boyfriend's car broke down so I had to take him to work on Fri. This required waking up sometime...

mrdelicious:
how's the stripper drama?
lyfeforce:
Yeah no luck with strip clubs. Show 'n' Tell, my usual club, just isn't doing it for me any more. They just hired a new manager who is ruining the place. He raised the covery by $10 (to $30), fired 3 of the dancers who actually make it worth coming in for, and thanks to an incident with one really stupid customer, the bouncers bounce guys out of there for even leaning on the counter that seperates the bar area from the stage. Sheesh.
So what's your place like? Low lighting? What kinda loud music? What's the stage look like?

I don't have any extra time! No!!! 
I started my new job last night. It went alright. I just trained so I got to leave really early. The chicas that trained me were super cool. It was ironic because my dancer friend, Keliah (stage name 
isn't it sexy?), was telling me all about the how cool the two girls that trained me were. I don't...

lilje:
oh . what is the new job? thanks for the tips! that is actually what i tried, i have an eyegel with (among other things) green tea in it, that i usually just use underneath the eyes. now i've used it on my eyelids as well. the first times it really burned, but now it's just....wow. 97% of the dryness is gone. i also went without make-up on that part of the eye, just in case it was an allergic reaction. kind of freaked me out, having eyelids SO sore! reminded my of a friend of mine that is allergic to just about everything. i hope i don't get that unlucky.
lilje:
wow. maybe you're overtired or something? or maybe overwhelmed. who knows . i'm going without make up most of the time now. only wear eyeliner and mascara , pluss something to make my eyebrows more visible, if i go to work, school etch. i might have been too cruel when cleaning make-up off my eye, but i have had a lot of stress and bad weather lately...so i'm just....doing my best to keep everything low

Detox is going good, it is pretty easy now, thinking i can start drinking again, 2 weeks is a good ammount of time to let the liver recover.
Oh and also, Right on with the squirrel rescue, that is very cool!
