It's been a while, but the only real reason I'm writing now is because I feel like I should. I mean, there are things to update, but I don't really feel like they're that important, you know? I'll try anyway, then you all can say whether it was worth my effort - now, where to start...
1) I finally found a reasonable option for going out without the need to drink. I've started only going out when there's a band I want to see. I tend to stand out, and I inevitably introduce myself at the end of their sets, which has led me to getting to know several local band guys. I've been hanging out with one group at a local bar that's started up a new "night" amonth or two ago (maybe I mentioned it). It's an obscure 80s-90s night, with one of my favorite djs, from way back. he used to run the night where I met my most recent ex. great, deep-cut music, not stereotypical at all. Fun night! And through that, I've been meeting some new people, which leads me to...
2) Sometime in the next few weeks, I might have an informal audition for a bass gig with a friend/ex-member of my buddy's band. He's starting a new project and needs some people, so I told him I'd give it a shot. I'm pretty excited about it, because I'm getting a little tired of playing the same stuff all the time with my current band. That, and the fact that these new guys will actually be playing out, so I might even make a little extra cash. I'm starting to get introduced to a lot of musicians now, so I'm hoping my opportunities expand as well.
3) I have the rough draft for my resume completed, and need to do a rewrite on it and send it in, so I can get it finalized to send out. I still can't decide where I want to go, but I'm really leaning towards Germany, if at all possible. I did find one job opening here in town, at a company right next door to my last one. It's a stable company, and I know a few people who work there currently, but I'm really unsure about the company work environment/attitude. I've heard they can be hard to work for, that the company comes first, etc. and I'm not sure I want to get back into something like that. I don't mind it to an extent, but from what I've heard, they can take it to extremes.
4) In the spirit of the "get a job" theme, I finally cut my hair this week. We ended up braiding it so I could mail it to locks of love. I ended up with 10 braids, each over 12" long! (I'm going to send them in sometime in the next week or so.) I ended up with a kind of surfer-ish, messy-look hair style, which is really quite out of character for me, but the ladies in the salon loved it (and they were all "peer-age", so I'm cool with it). I'm still getting used to it, as it occasionally still feels "big" to me, but I got some product, and I'm going to work on it tonight/tomorrow & see what I can do. Also, I went back in this afternoon & got it colored - a blue-black (black, with just a bit of blue tint to it). It looks good, but not as good as the feria color I used to use (starry night, I think it was - I loved that!!) anyway, I have some pics, but nowhere to put them, so I guess you lose!! No, I'm going to try to upload them somewhere & post them. If I do, though, I guarantee they won't be up for more than a day or two - I get nervous about my anonymity. Besides, you all may see my pics & want to forget you ever started reading me! *wink*
5) I've been talking to my most recent ex online a lot recently & we're getting along quite well. I'm also going to be helping my 2nd most recent ex to move this weekend, Sunday, to be precise. I'm really glad I'm talking with them, I don't like *not* being on speaking terms with exes. I'm going to help the one move during the day, then hang out with her & her friends that night. Hopefully, the roads will be ok by then, because right now, they completely suck!
I guess that's really it for now - I'm sure there's more to write about, but I really can't think of anything offhand. Maybe something will come to mind tomorrow & I can finish this up...
