I'm going to take a break from the news and social media, and kindly ask my friends/loved ones not to talk to me about Ukraine or anything related to it. It's putting me in such an anxious, hopeless state of mind that's not constructive to my goals or my wellbeing. I hate feeling like the world is collapsing in on me. At the end of the day, we should be grateful for being in such a resilient industry. The clubs and cam sites have survived Iraq, the Great Recession, Covid, and the list goes on. Men will always find a way to prioritize beer, tits, and ass. One of the species' more charming qualities.
THIS'S Brilliant! ^

Nine hours, multiple bruises, and a cut on my forearm which needed eight stitches. All because of an improperly installed pin on an electrical connector.

-_- ............Chicken is the same exact cost as beef now at the grocery store near me.
I am known to be very quiet in class and don't talk to anyone (hey I spent 48k on this program so I'm leaving it with a degree not friends lol). Well I was in a bratty mood today from my period pain and after we read something "shakespearean" he asked the class " was that a hard read?" I dunno why but I blurted out "It felt like we just read the bible." And everyone's head turned and the room went quiet hahahahaha. I'm no longer allowing myself to speak in class.

Had my commercial shoot today for a skincare line. It went fine. They were super nice to work with. It was only 2 hours, but I was tired afterwards. Took a nice nap and relaxed the rest of the day. It was so nice to have my hair and makeup done. I missed getting glammed up.

They're so used to be at my Starbucks. She told me today the weather will get pretty cold this weekend, down to the 50s so whatever I'm doing, dress accordingly, lmaooooooo!
I told her hoes don't get cold.

I have a blog/social media that's completely unrelated to SW, and I'm thinking of coming out as a stripper, mainly because I think it would help me grow my following and I don't think it's as taboo as it used to be. Not "coming out" as in making a big announcement, but doing TikToks about stripper life on my account and mentioning it in blog posts when it's relevant.
I asked myself *why* I wasn't already out when it's no secret among those I'm close with, and I realized it's because of judgmental distant family (who aren't paying my bills and seem to think of me as the black sheep anyway). Now it seems like intelligent people understand that you can be a stripper and have other fulfilling projects going on in life, and if they can't, then oh well ...I don't really care about appealing to small-minded people. But it's a big decision to contemplate because once I let it out, there's no shoving the stripper card back in the bag.

^ Damn I know how you feel !
It's just not as taboo as even 5-10 years ago ( unfortunately as it has affected the $$ ) .
I have thought of being out too for the reasons you mention.
I'm tired of leaving so much out of my personal narrative as I get to know people.
For now I have stayed closeted just out of fear that it could affect my vanilla work life .

Couple days ago a Starbucks barista that I liked was being so loquacious and loud mouthed with a customer. I had to address it because they kept going at it and I don't know when they'll stop.
She's been extra friendly to me these past few days. I guess it's her way of "apologizing' which I do not need because it was handled right at the moment.
The continuous loud talking has stopped.
My point is, you can like someone and still let them know that they're doing is bothering you. You don't have to tolerate it because you like them. It doesn't have to be either or.
No one is gonna cheer when you have to check and correct them but they'll respect you way more.

I was revising a cam profile and the word therapist ( as in sex therapist) was rejected.
I contacted support. They told me that AI had picked it up as The..Rapist.
Therapist.
I've been looking at the word all night.
Never picked up on that.
I actually did! hahahah
Every time I saw this word I was like " I wonder if anyone can see it too?"

If anyone is wondering whether to do the " push " or the " lean back " thing with a dude ..... let me recommend the later.
It was VERY effective for me yesterday ..........
I had to make a point HARD and had to pack up some things . :)
I thought for a minute my " I'm gone and you can figure it out / guess where to " attack plan wasn't working ..... but it got through.
I went for big impact I guess. I packed up pillows and pushed a bunch or my clothes together in the closet ( to make it look like I took way more than I did ). :/
Anyway ..... I'm not big on dramatics UNLESS the situation calls for dramatic flair.
I brought all the stuff back in and J immediately grabbed the pillows and went and put them back on our bed which I thought was so cute.

Ermagerd... I am known to make it look like I have shit to do (don't try me)....and I saw the people throwing a huge concert across the street from my 4-5 star hotel nearby as well as food trucks. It's quieted down. Thank god. There was police, a bunch of security, etc. a while ago.
Security was checking everyone who was trying to enter for their workers ID (before the event which I saw from my room)....The loud music pounding bothered me. I called my mom and told her "If I get through security I'll call." I acted like I owned the place and they id-ed everybody but ME HAHAHAHAHAHA. I love it when I pull shit like this. Apparently I am part of the entourage HAHAHA. Sometimes I enjoy amusing myself. HAHAHAHA. My mom was laughing "You DID!?!" I did the same thing in court and skipped the line and went in the attorney line for entrance hahahha. I don't play in life. hahaha.

Yes, it can be a delicate balance for me because I have a very straight forward personality than can contrast with the effective " lean " ha. It can feel unnatural . I would say this can be very effective though.

I love it because it's been on my travel list forever.

It's cute.
It also seems obvious he was not happy getting all his treats taken away last week . He seems very eager to please this week. :)

^ Yeah, I really don't know what to think about his whole " well I'll just delete FB " so we don't argue about it strategy .
I do know he has always had a high privacy concern anyway and was on the fringes of deleting it since I've know him . He doesn't do IG and has a work related twitter and that's it.
I just don't understand taking that drastic step ( it's too useful for me .... groups ... networking ... selling stuff .... ).
He did meet ( technically ) what I was asking for ( no social media connection to ex ).
Part of it too was that I found myself being so charmed the day I came back.
We decided to try to put it past us and go on a meetup group outing and then do a date night after.
After those activities he admitted it really upset him ( to see many of my things gone ) and since I took 2-3 hours to reply he wasn't sure where I went or if it was permanent. I ended up telling him I felt openly disrespected and couldn't take it ( duh ). I'm not going to sit around and pretend everything is ok when my partner is brushing me off. I had enough clothes to last 4-5 days or at least a couple weeks with laundry ! Ha.
I sure did mention making me wait two days also.
We are still learning about each other.
A good lesson with me is to not make me wait. :)
He burned 2 of the only 3 days we had together last week. It was a quirky week . If he would have taken quick action on Wednesday we could have had three great days in a row. I guess this week is a fresh week though.
I showed him a couple replies here ( exactly as they were written as " emails " ) !
I'll be paying close attention to the overall vibes in the upcoming week.

Just sneak into a hotel or get a day pass to a fancy gym.
The day passes are sometimes free or really cheap the first couple days.
I had one luxury gym give me a whole week of access and it was gorgeous, jacuzzi rooms , sauna , rooftop pool ect.

I officially quit Frontier internet! As of 6am tomorrow morning I would be going on day 4 of no internet because they don’t know what they’re doing. So I get my new internet installed tomorrow. Wahooo! Suck it Frontier. This is the only time I’ve danced to their music out of glee when I was put on hold while cancelling.
I also got 100 on my test this morning. So far all A’s. Woot!

I used vrbo many times (before Airbnb was around).
It was easy to use, and I stayed at some amazing homes (condos).
I actually found a long term rental because of it, because I knew that I liked the condo community I did a vrbo rental at.
I also was able to negotiate a lower rate.

I wouldn't mind another 1-2 k .
Why not keep going ?
Ok .... I'll admit I'm going for the extra 2k haha.

I dunno if I’m just becoming more intolerant of small talk or what? I have a short fuse when I’m really busy and someone wants to explain to me something that’s going to take them 5 minutes of me standing there when I already know the answer. Like a question should be followed by two sentences tops of a response. An essay when I’m juggling 5 things at once while I have to turn the water off before it overflows is not the time.

Today one of my Instacart customers gave me a satchel of handmade soap, the kind that smells really good. So sweet. At the beginning of the pandemic, this one gal actually made me a care package, complete with sheet masks and Epsom salts. I love these customers! So nice!

Buffalo on Thursday night, Syracuse on Friday night, and NYC on Saturday night. A little pissed at our bassist for coming up with this arrangement, especially since I was expecting something more like Richmond, Nashville, and Charlotte or something similar to that
Ooh, I hope you're ok!
I am, but we had to meet with a rep from the manufacturer because we uncovered a rather dangerous design flaw in the process.

I went to this information session on a free 5 week training class. I was disappointed afterwards because they said that you have to be good at geometry and trigonometry to excel. I suck at math unless it involves counting money. They laughed when I said that and changed the subject to how much money you can make in that career field. I was hoping that I'd be able to train for something new and gtfo of this living hell hole I'm in.

^ The fuck? She should've just spent that $ on a nanny, maid service, and personal chef or helpers instead. Any woman who has had babies can tell you the same 'ol story about men refusing to change diapers, wake up every 2 hours with the baby for feedings, or do shit once the baby is born. She'll probably still end up having to cook, clean, and take care of the baby while her man child is "busy" with work, wants to hang out with his buddies, realizes that he's not going to be getting sex for at least 6 weeks because her v is going to be out of order due to healing and postpartum bleeding, etc.

I hate having adult responsibilities. Sometimes I wish I’d continued renting, I wish I’d have never taken on commitments I couldn’t have walked away from, wish I’d never planned for the future. Then there’s be no conflict - I could simply do what I want to do right now, what I wanted to do in 2016, etc. I avoided drugs, alcohol, all of that shit. But I became a junkie, nonetheless.

Anyways, this whole gas crisis got me thinkin' of how stupid I was at 16 yrs old when I first started driving. I fell for the gas station commercials saying Shell Gas had the best gas so I'd be running low on gas panicking because I couldn't find a Shell Station around. I'd also fill up the crappy hand me down car my siblings got when they first started driving with premium gas HAHAHA. Cut to 2022: I'm currently on gasbuddy.com trying to find the cheapest premium gas nearest me. Now I just see a price tag only. Me: $5.55/gallon premium?! Oh the place is called Super 8? Thought that was a hotel? Anyways, sign me up!!"
Also: Ralphs is currently at $12.05 for a pack of chicken thighs today. I went to the Hispanic Market a little further down and it's the same package but $8.11. SCORE!!!
