It's All For You & Drag Queens

I'm so glad that I didn't sell my Janet Jackson ticket. I had such a great time with Paige, the strangers in my row, and two small plastic cups of vodka lemonade; that I'm convinced the amount that I spent was well worth it. 

The concert was everything I knew it would be & then some. Janet was fierce, svelte, and perfect. I loved that the show was non-stop entertainment. When it came time for Janet to make a costume change, the audience was shown clips from here television appearances. I sat next to a man who knew every single line from Janet's first appearance on Good Times as Penny. I thought he was going to stand up and wiggle his hips as Penny said, "It's not the men in my life, it's the life in my men." But I'm thinking that he didn't want to out gay himself any more than he did when he sang every damn word to "If".

However, I do have one thing to say that I did not like about the concert. It was too damn short. She didn't perform all of the songs I just knew she would. I was a little disappointed that I didn't hear "Black Cat", but I quickly got over it. 

Now that I think of it, there is one more thing that I didn't like about the JJ concert. I'm too damn short, and the stage at The Chicago Theater is too damn low. I had to jump up and down like a freaking Mexican bean to see Ms. Jackson. I didn't like that at all, but seeing as though Paige is 5'8'' vs. my 5'2'', I"m sure she didn't have not one thing to complain about. She assured me that she had an awesome time, and I'm happy about that.

After the concert, Paige and I ran into a friend of mine. This friend quickly invited us to a Drag show at a favorite spot of mine.

Anyone who knows me personally knows that there is nothing that I love more than a Drag Queen. I would say that I love my family more, but it's only a select few of them that I can tolerate more than a few hours. I can normally stomach more than 48hrs of Queen action, but this night must have been amateur night. After one queen decided in a sober state that it was a good idea to lip sync along to Ernie's ode to his bath time companion "My Rubber Duckie" in a Lacoste bath towel, Paige and I were pretty much done. However Paige was so done that she left me at the bar with my friend and left with another friend to go home. SMH, but I ain't mad...

Janet Jackson and Drag Queens in one night was once like a dream come true for me, but since I've actually had a chance to experience it;  I must say that I never have to do it again.

Kenny Loggins = Montage!!!

not a montage but I just had to

The language? Oooohhhh! It must be Italian.

Mission: New Years 2010 Plans!

None at the moment, but I can tell you that I would like to be completely and undeniably happy.

In the past years, I have done nothing, cried, crashed my car into a pile of snow, and done nothing all over again. I really would like to have fun. However, fun for me is not showing up to a club with a bunch of other randomly drunk people, but spending it with a bunch of friends with a nice bottle of champagne. 

At the moment the group of friends I have is about 4 deep. I don't mind that (especially since I don't like a lot of people), but they all have other plans that involve that someone special. I refuse to be the single person AGAIN! 

For some reason, whenever New Years comes around I'm always the single friend. Gross! I don't want to do that again. Hell I'm almost 30 (I'm 23) and I think I'm getting a little bit to old for that shit. 

So my mission for New Years is to get that cutie Howard to be my New Years date! If his lips aren't touching mine at the end of 2010 then I just know the following year is going to be shit.

So far, things have gone smooth. Yesterday we ate lunch together, we learned about each other, exchanged phone numbers, and I woke up (from a long and crazy night) with a text from him. 

He's a sweet guy really. I feel completely comfortable around him. And he makes me laugh. 

*sigh*

I have 16 days to make it happen. Time to do work!

Oh So That's How It Works!

I have come to the realization that in order to get a guy to act right, you must move on to the next one. LOL! and all this time I thought being myself was supposed to be affective. BOY WAS I WRONG!

I recently struck up a friendship with a guy that just so happens to be beautiful!  I drool in his presence. 

I haven't done anything yet, but it is nice to be on friendly terms with someone I believe to be one of the most beautiful people I have ever met. 

He (let's call him Howard) works with me, so I haven't tried to do anything yet. I have, however, tried to wiggly my way into every possible situation I could that involves just Howard and I working alone together. So far it's working, but I feel competition...another co-worker (let's call her Dottie).

Dottie clearly knows I like this situation. I can't be mad at anyone for knowing since I'm a bubbly-giggling mess when I'm a round Howard. Dottie and her boss were the ones who told me that I would be the one working hands on with the newbie Howard (when it comes to learning about certain elements of his job), then all of a sudden Dottie feels a need to constantly steal Howard away from me at key moments of my demonstration/flirting for the dumbest reasons. Like cleaning up his work space because she doesn't want to stay late. What?

Dottie is about our age (22-25), short like me, with long hair, but no shape. I on the other hand...well I'm the most beautiful girl in the world (and I challenge anyone else to say it isn't so). However, I know he isn't going to choose based on looks but personality (if he's the kind of guy I think he is)...and no one laughs as much as we. 

Which leads me Moss. A former flame, who told me to have fun with my cats because I wouldn't kiss his ass and drool over him like I do Howard. I liked Moss a lot. He was someone in a totally different league than me so when he revealed that he was interested I was pleased. We were kinda together for three weeks until I didn't call him back after I said I would. I don't know what happened but dude totally snapped at me. I had no idea a phone call was so important that it would result in him letting me know that I was going to die alone and miserable. Wow dude really? Okay...

So one day, Howard and I are in the middle of our flirting session when Moss walks by. Not only did Moss walk-by, but he stared so long at the two of us having a good time that I thought his glare might burn a hole into Howard's head. 

Later that night, I get two text messages from Moss asking me how I was and if I wanted to meet up one day for a date. I had no choice but to say no...I wouldn't want to disappoint my cats. 

I'm amused. I had no idea that it took so little to get the reaction you wanted out of someone you once thought was so big. Wow! I finally get it! I see the light!

However, when it comes to Howard, I have decided to take things slow. I like him so much, as a person, that if this thing I'm trying to start doesn't work out I know we will be friends. 

I don't know what's going to happen, but so far I'm having fun.
