So, I’m back.

One of these days, I’ll actually put a video of me talking on here…but for now, this will have to do.  So I’m now 27, and I went to Gay Days in Orlando, FL and wowwy.  That was absolutely amazing.  Met some really great people, and decided that I’m moving to Orlando.  No, I really am.

October 1st, 2011 is my goal date of moving.  Once I have my license in Cosmetology in hand, I’ll head down to my new job with one of my besties, Michael.  I really can’t wait, I think this is the change I needed. I also, from a regular at On the Border, may have a foot in the door to start work at Universal Studios.  If I got a job doing makeup for Halloween Horror Nights, I’ll freak out (in the best kind of way).

Oh and, School is going pretty well (when I go — whoops!) So far I’ve knocked out a few services I needed, and got some hours made up.  So I’m not tooo bad off – BUT I will have to go next semester at least through August…but hopefully by early September, I’ll have 1500 hours and all my services done…We’ll see.

Other than that, I’m just working and going to school, saving up some money to move.  For now, that’s all – but keep an eye out for that video — I promise its coming.

But I’ve been nonstop with work and school and the such.  I’ve worked like 50-60 hours every two weeks, which doesnt sound like muchbut when you can go to school Monday through Thursday 9am – 3:30pm, it can start adding up quite quickly.

Anyway…So not alot has changed.  The countdown to Cinco de Mayo and My Birthday has begun — as well as gay days.  I’m getting too excited.  In fact, last night I bought one of the swim suits I want for gay days! Heres a picture:

Amazing right?  Ah, I’m so excited.

Well guys, I’m gonna go take a shower and get ready for work once again.  Oh, and I have a mini-date tonight.  I’ll let everyone know how it goes, and I’ll try to post more as the summer approaches.

Have an awesome week everyone!

 

This weekend has been nothing but work! and for those of you who don’t know, I work at a restaurant here in Wilmington, NC as a server/trainer/bartender.

So Thursday I went in at 5:30pm, thinking I was going to be outside (which wasn’t very nice outside, still kinda chilly), I was a little worried about not making money.  But when I arrived I found out they moved me inside (yay) and also that I was training a new server.  Really sweet girl.  I walked out with about $50.  I was satisfied.  I didn’t do ANYTHING for St. Patricks day.  Didn’t drink a drop.

Friday morning I woke up, got ready and headed to work at 10:45am.  It was a pretty decent lunch, but I knew I had to be there for dinner as well. So I had an hour break from 4-5pm, luckily Friday the kitchen was pumping out food at a decent pace, I don’t recall having any problems whatsoever (THANK GOD). I clocked out at like 10:45pm, 12 hour day.  Once Friday was all said and done, I had made over $100 the entire day, awesome.

Saturday morning arrived, and once again, I had to go in.  However, this time I wasn’t supposed to be there until 1pm, but I knew it was nice outside and I wanted to get there early, and get my chuck of change.  So I arrived at like 12:15pm, and what do you know, it was busy outside — so I helped the bartender get caught up and took some tables.  Took a break from 1:30-2:15pm, then came back on the clock and worked until about 9:45pm.  Made over $150, I’m loving life – haha.

I came home, and decided, what the hell, I’ll go out – Went out to Ibiza nightclub to one of the best nights in awhile. Met a really cute guy, and we ended up sleeping and cuddling together.  Over $400 in the last few days, and cuddling with a hot guy? This weekend is an A+

Oh! And today, Sunday, I made the $50 back (I worked in the bar 1pm – 4pm) that I spent in the bar last night.  Now, I hope this happens next weekend :)

I’m gonna start a new category on my blog, called Flashback.  My best memories of days gone by…to start I’m doing Halloween 2010.

So I had asked off of work like months in advance, cause I love halloween and I knew I wanted to do something big last year.  I ordered a mask from The Scream Team. I woke up and started getting ready around 2pm.  I started with a glass of wine (OF COURSE) and washed my face, and started at the bridge of my nose and started gluing the appliance to my face…that took about 30 mins — glue on my face, make it tacky, then sticking the appliance on.  Oh, and I was listening to dance music the entire time.

Once the appliance was all glued on, I then started putting liquid latex around all the edges to blend it into my skin, that took about 45 mins — it takes FOREVER to dry, or at least it felt like it did. Then I started with the makeup, white, then browish red, then black — blending everything together — at first, I tried using a brush — did NOT work, so I switched to my finger.  Ah-mazingly it worked perfectly and blended to the point I was blown away — It looked SO good, I was so proud, and 2.5 hours later, I was done and lookin’ ah-mazing.

It was awesome.  But sadly, I did NOT win the costume contest — only cause no one knew it was me ;) .  2011 will top 2010.  Get ready bloggers!
