Those dogs looked happy as fuck to do their job. LOL

They did, but not happy when the suspect bite them.
One of them got so hyped up that he was trying to bite his handler. Did you see that part?
I felt bad for them, being sent in to the car after all of the pepperballs.
Plus, the suspect could have had a gun/knife.
He was obviously high as a kite.
Little incel he was, wasn't he?

I pulled the trigger and spent a few hundred bucks on a 10-day juice cleanse. It arrived today, and I had to rearrange the whole freezer to make it fit. I need it though. I'm standing up in a wedding in 3 weeks, and this trip for the funeral totally fucked up the momentum I had going for meal-prepping/eating healthy and working out again. I just need to fit into my bridesmaid's dress and not hate the pictures of me... The last time I was a bridesmaid was for my sister's wedding, and I hated every single picture of me from that wedding, because of my weight. The bride this time, and several of the bridesmaids, are bigger gals themselves, so I know there's no "external pressure" on my weight - but I want to be comfortable and look good for this one.

^ For a trick to look a little smaller in photos make sure you stand at an angle to the camera and NEVER straight on.
Don't smash your arms to your sides. Pop them out.
You can also stand just 2-3 inches " back " from everyone ( do that adjustment at the last minute ) .
Simply step back from camera just a touch so the others are 2-3 inches closer to the camera.

Ever since that album was released, I’ve been getting requests for interviews. But I’ve declined them unless the entire band was present and the interview was about the band and the album rather than about me. I’m not a member of that band, I was pretty much just a session vocalist, and I don’t want to steal their thunder in any way. But I read an interview they just did while they’re on your, and I came up as a subject of discussion much more than I would’ve liked to have been. A few excerpts from that:


It’s really easy to misjudge her by her appearance and demeanor. All of us did - even Kevin, the first time he encountered her. She generally has a charming and friendly attitude, plus she kinda has the doe eyes, and she comes across as really charming and pleasant. And that really is her. But she’ll unload on stage, she’ll get in the pit and keep going after the biggest guy in there. And that really is her also. She’s a complex person. But what highlights the misconception people get is my own mom. My mom was a violinist, she can’t play anymore because of her arthritis, and she has this really nice violin. She didn’t care about money, she just wanted it to go to a good home. As I’ve mentioned before, (my name) considers herself a violinist first and foremost. So I figured I’d surprise her with that, and I took my mom with me over to her place. She let us in, offered us food and drinks, and she was really taken back by it. And she ended up playing for a bit to entertain my mom, which really made her happy. Everything should be good, right? Soon as we get in the car, my mom starts smacking me on the shoulder and rants about, “How could you possibly get a sweetheart like that involved in your heavy metal racket?”, and there was no convincing her that (my name) was involved well before we’d ever met her. And it plays out that way at shows, too. You look at her, she’s in a dress, her clothes actually have color rather than being all black, she has no tattoos, and she doesn’t really carry herself like someone who’d be into this scene until the show starts. After that point, then you see that side of her come out.

That violin was a HUGE deal to me. It took a lot of persuasion for me to accept it. It’s just such a gorgeous instrument that I didn’t feel right accepting it. Especially as he never mentioned this in the interview, but his mother was a first string member of New York Philharmonic in the past. So I was unexpectedly being gifted this absolutely magnificent violin which had been part of New York Philharmonic, and it was a bit overwhelming. Especially when I played it for a bit, and she came to me and told me she knew I was the right person for it. Yeah, it made me a little sappy and tearful.


She penned lyrics for an entire album about Jim Jones and Peoples Temple, but she doesn’t know what style she wants the album to be. She’s considered grindcore, sludge, speed metal… we told her we’d be willing to do it as one of our albums with her on vocals again if she’d like. When we were leaving, Craig says to us, “Hey, do you think she realizes Jim Jones was a bad person? Because those lyrics really make me wonder”.

I don’t think history will ever absolve Jim Jones, and don’t see a need to go out of my way to say, “Jim Jones bad”. I thought they got it, but now I’m not so sure, but the aim was to try to tap into the mindset of his followers (or at least my perception of what it must’ve been like). I even had correspondence with Jim Jones, Jr. and other survivors of Jonestown to get perspective from them and also to ensure they understood what I was trying to do.


She has a very underground mindset, and I don’t think she really grasps that we came from bands which are better known than what she’s used to, we’re signed to a bigger label than what she’s used to, we have a more widespread fanbase than what she’s used to, and she’s getting a lot of attention because of it. So we bought every release she has with her on vocals, and we got the idea to reissue her solo album, and also put it on vinyl. We need to hurry up and get that done before we go to Europe, because those fans are especially taking an interest in her. And we’re hoping we can get her to do at least a couple shows in Europe with us, even though she has a lot of commitments at home which wouldn’t let her do the full tour.

All of this is news to me. If they want to reissue any of those albums, I’m perfectly okay with it. They also mentioned that they’ve been watching the shows I’ve been doing with K on Bigo, and specifically mentioned a cover of Iron Maiden’s “Remember Tomorrow” we did with me doing vocals and banjo, K doing violin and tambourine, and friends of hers playing an acoustic guitar, acoustic bass, and a cajon for percussion, and that they’d like to have it recorded in a studio.
But I think K and her friends are a bit too “indie” and “hipster” to go along with it.

As for doing shows in Europe… I don’t know. I’m having conflicting thoughts about it.

Interesting that this one crazy fireman/medic dude from years ago randomly started texting me every day and another who could actually be a decent person sometimes(he helped me with food before and paid my ambulance bill that I racked up at his ambulance company years ago). My guess is that crazy one is hoping I'll be vulnerable and lonely/horny since I'm grieving. I don't know what the 2nd ones motive would be, seeing as how I never fucked him unless his motive is to try to get in my panties too, for the first time. He wasn't talking sexual though. He just said that he was sorry for my loss and asked how my other kids were doing and said that he hoped I was doing better.

My dude flew to a city to follow this band for 4 days.
^I was giving to this activity today was 3 hours.
It’s 8.
We take a bus we take to arrive early then we sit and wait .
I’m bad with waiting. :/
Yikes.
I’ll try to take it hour by hour and just look at it as spending time with my guy.

I’m exusing myself at 10pm if it’s all too much haha but then I’ll have to take a long bus back if I don’t wait for the cushy bus at 11:15 pm

Edit : I don’t know how I made it.
8 hours and 49 min from our hotel door to bus , to wait , to show , and back.
I hate waiting for gates to open ect.
I think I did well and J had fun.

Sounds like you dodged a bullet.
I remember when I did in person sex work, holidays were notorious for busts.
Stay safe Indie.

My therapist reminded me that we only have 2 more sessions left (that are free), and do I want to continue?

Why would I?
She never pays attention. I've been playing cat butt bingo, and she doesn't even take insurance.

I'm saving for a new car, my rent increased, and I have trouble just coming up with my monthly bills as it is.
Besides, I never leave my house.
So, how am I supposed to not be afraid of men if I'm never around them?
No.
I've got to do this on my own.

Um, what do I do know ? It's concert day #4 tomorrow.
Today was easy to get out of because I was a trooper on that first full day I was here.

I just don't think I can give 8 hours again tomorrow . :/
It's also quirky. It's FAR from our hotel ( that is why the bus in included in the package ) so my option to to take a public bus there at 7p.m. to get there closer to when the band starts. The luxe bus goes at 4p.m.
It's an option to avoid all that waiting that drove me nuts.

OR ...... I hope he wouldn't mind me passing on night #4.
I'm *leaning* towards seeking happiness by NOT having to do the long wait routine .
I mean .... there are perks to making ME happy.

I'm really worried about the future of online sex work.
Lots of cam girls/Only fan creators/clip markers have just had the bank close their accounts ( mainly Wells Fargo).
I'm watching them have public meltdowns on Twitter and it's making me very, very nervous.
There are a couple of laws being passed that will be a problem for cam, etc companies to comply.
They are designed to keep potential customers away.
I'm planning my exit and working on other ventures, because I've been down this road before, and I was unprepared.
Prayers up for online sex work.
Well, all sex work. Because when everything goes cashless and becomes digital, the govt will have the ability to freeze the money.:scared::pray:

Yes, but the problem is that there is a note on their name that alerts other banks that they are a risk, and to not do business with them.

The kid asked if I’d be open to selling him my pickup. I have an 07 one ton GMC with a diesel which I inherited - I never would’ve bought that for myself. Well, I track my spending meticulously, so I pulled out my receipts from the last two months and showed them to him. I had to do shocks and struts, I had to replace all four tires, both batteries, I changed the oil and filters, I had to replace a cracked headlight and had to buy it new because all the ones at the pull and pay yards had either been pulled or were also damaged, plus a new door lock and tumbler and ignition switch assembly from when someone tried to steal it (fortunately, they never found the disconnect I installed for the starter), and of course fuel receipts. After that, I asked if he still wanted to buy it. Not surprisingly, he had a change of heart.

This won’t be good. K has this friend who, according to her, has a case of the hots for me. And… it’s just not gonna happen. Anyhow, he got word about the concert I’m going to and bought tickets for their show in NC tomorrow, perhaps thinking it would impress me? Problem is, this guy’s softer than a down comforter, and this is a Deicide show. I tried warning him they get a little wild and he tells me, “Oh, I’ve moshed before”. Yeah, he jumped up and down at a 311 tribute band show and lightly bumped into a couple people. But then he says, “If you can make it through that show I’ll be fine”. At that point, I just figured “hell with it” and I’d just let him find out the hard way. I think it won’t be a very happy and delightful time for him.

I’m beyond frustrated. The past two hotels I’ve been at the Wi-Fi internet absolutely won’t work and it’s been screwing up my appointment requests. I have to work an extra day because of how little money I have made. I even had the tech-support physically show up and they couldn’t figure out what was wrong with the Internet. As you can tell I’m not staying at a motel so this internet issue is so fucked up!

Can u use ur phone as a hot spot?

I feel u, the hotel I lived at for 3 years had horrible internet, it barely worked, + it was open?

I'm really proud of something.
I have known for awhile now that I need to " get out more " .
It's kind of becoming a problem for me and I'm determined to change it.

So .... there was a museum event recently where you can bring work , discuss it, and get critique.
I made these little art pieces a while ago ( they have been kicking around 6-7 years ) .
I grabbed one and FOUGHT THE URGE TO STAY home lol !

My piece got selected to show in the museum for the next 30 days. :)

It was a BIG LIFE goal to show art again this year. Technically it's only one piece but I am approaching a gallery too in the next few days. When I lived in this area 20 years ago ( on my own not with J haha ) I was showing in a couple galleries here and there .

The Virginia show wasn’t so bad, but the Deicide show last night got pretty wild. Definitely wearing makeup today, lest someone should call the cops thinking I’d been battered. I really don’t feel like going anywhere today… I just wanna lay in bed all day. But, new girl has shingles, so I gotta run to CVS or Walgreens and get stuff for her.

I’ve also got K bitching me out because her friend (as I predicted) had a less than wonderful time at the show. Also, I made fun of him for his ~30 seconds in the pit before having his, “fuck this, I’m out” moment. It’s a death metal concert. I tried to warn him, pretty sure K did… not my fault he wanted to be a dumbass and turn up at a death metal concert 1: looking like an archetypical hipster and 2: not bothering to find out what he was getting himself into.

I gave it a half-hearted try about three years ago but I’m willing to actually go thru the six treatments that were recommended for me.

I only stopped because it felt like she was popping a rubber band on my skin when she got around the clit. But waxing isn’t much less painful for me either so why not.

I tried camming at Target today. I made tips driving my ass there and a few more after I walked inside but then my phone internet started fighting with Target’s internet and it just ruined everything. All 380-something men in my room dropped to 7.

Irritating.

I’ve been up since 3am so I’m gonna eat and take a nap and just cam in my car tonight. I’m sick of camming on my couch.

I'm just a bit surprised that eagle was banned, because I considered him one of the good guys, and I've seen the way Eric would bait him into fights.

I’m not gonna say he’s one of the “good guys” for simply being on a stripper forum and being able to act with a little decorum. Outside of this forum? I don’t know. For all any of us know, he could keeping someone trapped in a pit in his basement. “Now it places the lotion in the basket”. But I was surprised to see him banned. I also considered him to be one of the better ones of the blues on this forum.

I gave it a half-hearted try about three years ago but I’m willing to actually go thru the six treatments that were recommended for me.

I only stopped because it felt like she was popping a rubber band on my skin when she got around the clit. But waxing isn’t much less painful for me either so why not.

Just do your research where to go, there are many out there offering this service now as it's getting very popular. It's far between the good ones though.
