It's been a while since my last update, and quite a lot has happened since then. I'll try to cover everything, but knowing me I'll leave a bunch out.
Last Saturday was a friend's birthday, and I got invited to go join them all to see a burlesque show. I had only seen bits of the SG burlesque show, but I wasn't entirely sure what to expect. I got lost trying to find the place, but I'll attribute that to Knoxville's fantastic road naming system. So I get there finally and watch the first show, which wasn't too terribly interesting to be honest. So we are all hanging out and having a few drinks when I run into a girl that I met in the darkroom. She joins me to watch the second act of the show (which was much much better than the first) and afterwards we "danced" for a bit. I use quotes because I am very much a white boy, but she said there's hope for me. She teaches swing dance, so I might be a swinger before to long
I gave her a ride home and a kiss goodnight so we'll see how that pans out.
Sunday I went to my two friends' pictures for my final photo critique. I'm so glad her girlfriend finally opened up and started liking me, because I got some great shots of the two of them.
Monday rolls around and after classes I go to see my lesbian lover again at Panera and she invites me out to a bar. So after she gets off work we head out and we run into my cousin at the bar she always go to. He's a really cool guy, but because his little sister was always so demanding of my time I never got to hang out with him until then. So anyway he buys me a Guinness to start the night off, and then Lo just keeps 'em coming. I didn't get to bed until 4am
So I set my alarm on tuesday for 9am so I could get some decent sleep before my final photo critique, but no, I wake up at 7:30 on the dot like always. I tried to go back to sleep but I woke up again at 7:45 on the dot, like always. Damn you internal clock. I have so much respect for my photo-professor. I revere him, and at the end of my crit he said some amazing stuff. I was getting teary eyed, but I'll attribute that to my lack of sleep.
So one of Lo's friends wanted me to go to the fort (the section of town behind campus) and take pictures of her. So we all go out drinking and taking pictures. After a while these two random chicks walk up to us and ask us to take their pictures, my friends got some cool shots, but I haven't developed my film yet to see what I got.
Wednesday I signed the lease to my new apartment! I'm going to be moving some more stuff into it here in a little while.
Thursday was uneventful, and I spent about 4 hours scanning negatives for my friend and myself so we could get our application to a gallery in before the office closed at 5. I slid everything under the door at 5:30 so we'll see what happens. I then met up with a friend and watched a couple of movies with her(and her mother, and grandmother...maybe next time will be more exciting). Don't get me wrong, I had a great time, I just think it's funny.
It seems like I have the trappings of a man-whore, but I'm going to rationalize it and say that I'm not a man-whore because I genuinely care about all my ladies. I have a feeling this is going to be an interesting summer.
Well I'm off to pack up some more of my junk. Tally-ho
