so lately when I walk thru Union Square park in the afternoon, it feels like Panic in Needle Park
I unknowingly sat down on a bench across from a row of dirty people keeled over, scratching themselves, nodding out, incoherent, yelling obscenities, hitting each other...
it was interesting to watch for a minute or two...then I was disturbed and had to get up and walk... Read More
I think that whole home/all thing is harder than it used to be.
I used to have it set up so I could see bookmarks and friends together without clicking anything.
And yes, sometimes it's best, well always I guess, to leave violent junkies to themselves.
I think I just miss the drama and the chaos and the craziness.
Now it's just crowdedness and fratboy drunkenness.
See, now Iggy remebers the good old days!
Union square used to be a junkies ONLY park!
Now they have a dog run.
my job is going well..i've been picking up a bunch of extra shifts
last night on Nip/Tuck, Sean listened to Wonderwall by Oasis in the car AND talked about it (he asked "what is a wonderwall?"--that girl is going to be trouble)..they played the entire song!
next week I'm seeing the Flaming Lips... Read More
I watched Easy Rider last night for the first time
I never knew Peter Fonda was that attractive..I kinda liked him
I also never knew the ending ..so it was kinda shocking
the music was really good... Read More

sorry I didn't reply to most of your comments on my last blog
haven't been around too much..need to catch up on photo sets and blogs
last week I went upstate and saw my mom and my best friend...I figured if I hadn't found a job in the month + that I'd been looking, taking a little getaway while I had the time wouldn't hurt..especially... Read More
originally he had told me that he wanted me to train Wed, Thurs, Fri
and then start on Tuesday
but then he didn't want me to come in to train cos he's training 2 other girls on different days
the girl who trained me told me she isn't sure if he's going to hire all... Read More
I think I'll keep SG at least for the next 3 months.
I'm training for a job, hopefully it goes well and hopefully I will actually make money at this place unlike the last place I recently trained at.
If everything goes well training for the next 3 days they want me to start on Tuesday, and I'll have dayshifts
It's near Union Square.

I'm thinking of canceling my SG account
I have the 3 month plan..for which I pay the original rate of $18
the next payment is this Thursday Aug 17
but I'm thinking maybe I should cancel it because being unemployed, I shouldn't be paying this unnecessary fee
also, SG just isn't what it used to be
most of the models are nothing special
and the... Read More
I'm with you on the commenting being minimal. Unless you're an SG, then I think comments are tripling and quadrupling. I write less on people's journals, for sure.
I am hired at this place in Soho, but I'm not going to make money there at all
I've already trained (with no pay) for 2 days, and I have seen what they're making there...I think I'll start working there for now just to have SOME income..but it's only going to be like 100 -200/week! IF THAT
shitty...and so not going to work..i... Read More
i would have to agree... don't get yourself so busy working at a crappy job that you know you don't want to stay at when you could be using that time to find something better. otherwise you definietly will get stuck in that crappy job. i've had it happen before... not fun.
good luck! i'm sure you'll find something cool ni the next few weeks or so.
I trained today at a restaurant in soho, and I'm training again tomorrow...but I'm not sure this is going to work out because I wont' make enough money at all.
It IS an upscale place, but they pool and split the tips and there are too many people working for such a small place (13 tables) (2 waiters, 1 food runner, 1 bus person). Today... Read More
a new bar just opened at 3rd and 11th called Village Pour House...I know you don't wanna work nights but i figured a weekend there could make some good change. It's a total college bar hangout.
