Shout outs to the universe

First to Emilio, not only are you a hottie, I caught you flexing in front of the mirror as I walked back from the bathroom in the locker room, you have a heart of gold. When I zipped open my Underwear gym bag, there was no towel in it. "Damn!", I said under my breath. I went back around the lockers seperating us and asked, "Do you know if they would put a towel on a memebership card at the front desk?" Your smile was disarming, charming, innocent, and sincere, "I don't know," you said in your sexy accent. "It doesn't matter. I'll use my t-shirt," I said pointing to my open locker. (mind you I am fully clothed and so is Emilio during this transaction) "I think it's a dollar for a towel" I explained I didn't have any cash, so you took out your wallet and gave me a dollar. "You can pay me back the next time we see each other here." People like you deserve a shout out for your kindness.

Second to the girl who called me out on the bus an hour ago. A group of 8 teens got on the bus and were moving from seat to seat, flirting with each other in a I-am-hitting-you-because-I-like-you way and all around having a good time giving each other shit. I smiled to myself often and couldn't help but raising my hand to cover my mouth amd whisper to the guy next to me, "It's like we're on a school bus." And she said, "Ya know, he's right, we're acting like this is a school bus. 'Cause on a school bus people get up and move from seat to seat and talk to each other across the bus." She was all smiles. I turned orange shades of red, started laughing and said, "I can't believe I got busted. I whispered that so quiet!" She was sweet, kept the mood light, and understood I didn't whisper out of malice but amusement. People like you deserve a shout out for your sense of fun.

Nothing to report about everything

I still am sending out resumes like crazy and still don't hear back from people. The traditional thing to do is to send out the resume and then contact them by phone to make sure it got to it's destination. Most places ask you not to call now. I plan to honor that. I wish I knew more "ins" if you know what I mean. Jobs usually happen becuase you know someone who works at the company that recommends you. At least I can say I am truely putting forth the effort!

The Fringe show seems to be working out. I met with the assitant manager of La Bodega who seems to be very ept at planning an event like ours. Also, I made a point to say I would contribute a spefic amount of money for the show, $3,000, my services as a House Manager, and as a liason to the Fringe Staff. I am realizing that this is all going to be much easier than I thought. It really mirrors the Sunday Dinner events that I did in college in so many ways that really the most benefit from doing it will be that I have something current to show that I can and not something from 7 or 8 years ago.

I finally have my living room set up beautifully. The most recent addition is a Soul Asylum, with the Jay Hawks, poster that I have held on to since 1998 New Year's Eve. I am not sure how to describe it. hmmmm....I need to write "buy a camera" on my to do list. If it's been a while since you have seen my place you will be in for a pleseant visit.

I have simplified my life, so there is not too much more. Easter was fun. We sat in the very back of North Heights Lutheran church, in the individual chairs, and there was never a moment when we were all actually sitting in a row. I whispered to my sister at one point, "We're not really good examples for Nolan on how to behave in church." :) Good times.
