Cleaning out my closet this evening, I found the following letter
written to me when I was 19 years old and working at a magazine with a large male readership:
Your name evokes a myriad of emotions within me (heh, heh). Would you ever run off with a seventeen year old Foamthug? We could rob banks, eat bundt cake, make fun of the defenseless, &...

Friday I cut myself some bangs (well, I didn't cut them myself - I had bangs cut.)
I'm still getting used to them, but I like them. My hair looks like a wig.
Saturday night, my friends with whom I starred in a high school production of Grease (guess who was Frenchy?) made this amazing goat cheese pasta that I'm still digesting.

And he would see all these faces, for several years. He knew she had moved shortly before he decided to leave school, but still, he thought he kept seeing her. Every expression of every woman he encountered, this little girl had shown, for a fleeting moment, on her young face.
But he knew it couldnt be her, so he looked to the older ones. These...

in ages... She would change her face for her surroundings for no other reason except boredom. Although, she knew this wasnt true entirely. Changing her disguise would enable her to infiltrate any number of scenarios from which she might have been otherwise excluded. And this, by default, challenged her boredom.
She was a dark-headed bobbed girl who children mistook for a grandmother, when she was only 23....

I saw your comment about the Bukowski bar tour in this that or the other group. I've only just started reading him (due to this site), but it sounds like this would be a blast. Sort of like the Jack the Ripper tour in London's East end, but with more booze.

There used to be a great pinball game called "Fun House". Periodically, a sound would play of a carny barker shouting, "Hey you, with the face!"

Tuesday night a coworker took me to a crazy soiree sponsored by Amazon. They had no ginger ale for me to drink my vodka and ginger ales, and tried to pass off a mixture of Sprite and Coke as "close-enough" ginger ale. Unh-unh.
That hot gay cop from Six Feet Under was there, and as a woman I spoke with said, "He's all, 'I'm here,...

Vodka and ginger ale, vanilla vodka and dr. pepper. These are drinks I've never tried, but have been meaning to. Well, maybe substitute diet ginger ale, and diet dr. pepper.
Can I borrow your life for a few weeks? You always seem to be into such interesting stuff.
He called you back the same night, and didn't even wait the LA standard 2 days? I keep thinking of that hilarious scene in Swingers.
I hope you feel better sweetie. Try some hot tea with honey and fresh ginger root. It'll make you feel right as rain!

Thursday I went to a shindig for this magazine. Suicide Girls were there with free copies. I didn't really understand the whole event or how I got there, but it was fun nonetheless. I also got a free silkscreened shirt by Puma.

The truth is that since I've been on an SG journal strike my days have been a lot more productive, creatively and financially.
Preparing my journal entries, collecting the photos, resizing, uploading, checking every 15 min if anyone saw them or commented on them, finding something intelligent to post back on their journals and thanking them for posting on mine has been an interesting game in social interaction but it took six weeks out of my life during which I got nothing else done. The reward besides poverty has been a you don't belong.
I really don't understand the SG cast system. It must be extra difficult for girls. There are SG girls who get paid to get nakid, SG wannabes who pay in the hope to get paid to get nakid and then there are more brainy girls like you and bijoux who... why are you here?... all surrounded by men going
Oh and there is a ratio of 10 guys to a girl. It just doesn't seem healthy and wholesome. (Oh yeah who wants wholesome* huh?) It's more like some ancient civilization on some remote island that got hit by meteorite or some strange disease and decimated the female population and transformed the society to this cultish hierarchical cast system.
If I can't be equal among equals in a community, I don't want to be part of it.
*I googled wholesome to check the spelling and the first result was http://www.nudistweb.net/~wholesome/ (the christian aspects of naturism)
And I guess that's the good thing about SG, you find people who appreciate this sort of coincidence.
I am probably breaking some other unwritten rule with such a long "comment". Oh well...
