Got a call from Mr. Cajun who asked if I wanted to go for a ride with him as he ran some errands. smile He knows how I love the rumbling sound of his '72 Nova...yum!

Ran some errands for him...and some errands for me...then ended up at Zone D'Erotica...a stripper/porn palace. He seemed a little uncomfortable (which kinda made me giggle) as I walked around...

There's only one requirement to become a Pall Mall smoker: being 90 years old.

You like to listen to the motor too! A gal after my own heart. I was running around with a little friend last week. We came to a stoplight and the song on the radio sucked so I just turned it off so I could appreciate the sound of my 57's motor. She looked at me like I was nuts. Its a crate 350 with a race cam and aggressive pipes so it sounds bad ass as it lopes along trying to idle. Im glad to see there are some girls out there who appreciate that kind of thing.

"If I just sit here and keep my mouth shut, maybe I can pull this off..."

That's what I thought to myself after stumbling into class this moring at 6:25AM...still drunk from last night...

Sunday my boss handed me a list of the most popular shots ordered at the bar and told us we'd have to learn them all by the end of this...

Ugh, I've been there going to class in the morning still drunk from the night before. Rarely, if ever, a good idea. Sometimes you're better off just sleeping through and being more rested later on in the day. Red bull is your friend, too.

That's quite a list of drinks you've made. What kind of bar are you working in? The bars I've worked I had to know how to make about 10 drinks total.

Ok, so I just wrote this long entry...and it was so boring, it nearly put me to sleep.

There simply isn't anything exciting going on in my life right now...I mean, besides the whole living my dream thing...

I dig school like a mother fucker. Regardless of how freaked out I am that I might not be able to pull it off. I mean, I...

Such a fabulously unglamorous was to begin a day...

You'd think with yesterday's inspirational story about following one's dream I'd spend my day basking in it...

Instead...I sat around, drunk, and crying about the foolish boy who stole and broke my stupid little heart.

Now I have to head to work and pretend to be fabulous, when really I'm hung over and still have...

Today is the Rumblers NYC Hot Rod Show.

It marks the day my whole world changed.

The day I met the man who would prove to me that contrary to everything I believed, my heart was not dead inside.

And the day my dream of building cars would be given the space and encouragement to be ignited again.

I showed up one person...and left...well...different.

It's...

I love that story. It's an ode to impulsiveness, a highly underrated characteristic in everyday life. Good for you.

And yes, we do all judge people (I'm drunk, can you tell?) for better or for worse. It's unavoidable.

Your name came up several times at the SGNY event tonight. Your presence is missed in NYC. I hope Houston can appreciate what it has with you there.

We took this picture tonight at the open event for you because you're awesome. It makes me laugh, the ridiculous looks on our faces. wink

Spent all day in the welding lab (and all yesterday too). Have I told you how much I love that shit?! Fuck yeah!!

I'm heading to work in a few hours...so I went to school with my hair all up in pins and a hankie...yeah, I look like Rosie the fucking Rivitor, so the fuck what?!

That head welding...

I'm having a great time in my morning classes...

Not because the guys in that class are any better than the ones in my last one (actually, they're not nearly as much fun) but because I have army dude to pal around with and together we talk with as few people as possible.

We talk to one or two other guys in the class who...

I can't believe that about your set! I know we both sent ours around during the very busy SGB time.... so I wouldn't be suprised if it did get lost in the shuffle. You have a great look though! And Steve does some GREAT photography so once they find it under that those papers, behind the pencil sharpner, on that desk on the third floor I'm sure you'll be in! Haha tongue

5:20 AM...

At least I slept better last night.
I'm a notoriously bad sleeper...often reliant on sleeping pills, alcohol, or benedryl to get me there.

Last night I was so freaked out that I would miss my alarm that I kept waking up...3am...3:30am...4am...4:30am...until finally my alarm went off.

The morning classes are pretty good though, so far...

1. It's not as hot.

2. The little...

Good morning ladies and gentlemen...and welcome to my nightmare...

I call it...morning class...

It's 5:11 AM...my ride will be here at 6:00AM.


Actually...it's not so much the morning classes that are going to be the nightmare. It's the fact that my boss doesn't have enough bartenders to cover the three shifts she wanted...so she's changed MY shift hours...which WOULD have looked like this...

6:30 -...

Don't they put warning labels on pills about welding while drowsy? Just don't try to light a cigarette with the torch and set your hair on fire please! tongue

Ohmygawd I CANNOT get up that early! No fucking way!!!Looks like you'll be sleeping the double half-shifts!
On the up-side: the 5 pm-2 am shift is likely to be way more lucrative, so your sleep deprivation will not be in vain...

I survived my first night as a bartender!!!

I got all prettied up and drove my little Blue Turd out there all by myself like a big girl!!!

I was sexually harassed the MOMENT I walked through the door...and knew that I was home smile

One of the bartenders/owners was having a birthday party so at some point the bar filled up with her biker friends....

Yes! Food from the fridge = love. I'm all about leftovers.

And you're awesome. I think you deserve to have all this good stuff happening to you.

Yay for the tips and the not-too-serious sexual harrassment! Shake that ass! wink

Yowzah, what a great first night! A harbinger of more good things to come! You are truly awesome, and I love you girlie!

FINAL TEST TODAY!!!

It's the last day of this class! Which makes me happy but kinda sad too. I really liked my instructors.

More than anything I'm fucking proud as hell of myself.

Don't let me fool you...I'm scared to death out here. I risked everything to make this happen and I live every day with the idea that I very well might not be...

Way to f-ing go! How long until you are done with everything? Would it be cool if I bugged you for body advice at some point in a few monts? I'm going to paint my Chevy matt black with black lacquer flames and do some minor rust repair over the winter. I've never tired this before, so I plan on getting some guidence from a number of sources. All I've ever painted were race bikes. I even painted one inside my upstairs apartment.
champagneofdudes:
Dammit. I was gonna say "mmm mushy brains" but Shamunda already took it. I guess I'll just say "mmm autobody." But thats just not as funny. I guess I gott get on top of things quicker.
