Towing: a Story.

Rehearsal had been going well. I’m kind of slow when it comes to picking up choreography, so I was really pleased that we’d knocked out most of the moves for “Sh-boom” as performed in Crybaby. I ran down to my car to grab my Drag Bag, which had a CD so that we could bring the music to the open-mic drag show we’d be performing at. I ran back upstairs.

Back-to-School Anxiety.

I’m getting stressed out about my job. I’ve spent the past couple of weeks going to trainings and meetings and listening to specialist after specialist talk about what working with the students is like, and the challenges of one of my students in particular. I’m tired of that. I just want to get the students, to see what they’re like, to learn about them from them.

México.

I got back from our family’s vacation a couple of weeks ago, and have been meaning to ramble about it for a while here. We went to Cozumel for a week of diving and other topside adventures, which was exciting. It was quite an experience.

Life is Filling with Win.

Life has been good to me, as of late.

Trying to Keep the Chuck Yeager Drawl.

I graduated. It actually happened. I held my diploma in my hands. I quickly handed it off to my family to take home, to save the diploma from myself.

Screwed-Up Schedules and Gendering.

My schedule has been all sorts of screwed up. Confirming that shows were closed and having scheduled jobs canceled has probably sort of messed up my entire week, which is totally a bummer. Everything that I had been so excited about earlier in the week has either passed or is not available to me, which is a pretty huge bummer.

Spelunking.

Caving was amazing. Fantastic. I left without taking any anti-anxiety medication, unlike last time. I also didn’t bring any along with me. I was going to do this on my own. And I did. I pushed myself at several key points during the trip, and turned back at a really reasonable place. I contorted my body into unnatural shapes and slithered around like the most awkward snake ever. I spent between five and six hours underground.

Oversocialization [Almost].

I was tagged by a wonderful friend of mine, Dumpster Mouse, for a “Happiness Meme”. I figured that I might as well try this thing out, since at worst it can leave me wherever I started. At best it can make me feel better.

Kings N Things Holiday Dragstravaganza!

…was Friday night. I worked spotlight. It was pretty awesome. There was a pretty good variety of music going on, and the spotting was easy-schmeasy, except for the fact that the spot was a bit loose, so I had to keep a hand on it at pretty much all times. The night broke down as follows;
