Happy Earthquake Eclipse Week to those who celebrate!!
If you must know I did in fact “feel the earthquake.” I found it quite astonishing that it happened right as I was opening my college diaries, something I haven’t done in 12 years. Despite all the worldly evidence telling me to not read them, I went ahead anyway and holy shit were they disturbing! Even more disturbing than most of my nightmares…
More on my unhinged diaries another week, I’m not ready to process it just yet! But I am always shocked when people tell me “they don’t dream” or if they do, they are a man, and their dreams are like “I was really strong and could do karate.” What it must like to be that person! If I’m not being murdered or raped in my dreams, I’m uncontrollably crying or letting out so much anger and rage at a person that I my voice box almost explodes. Am I insane? Am I just a woman? Am I in fact, dropping acid every night before bed???
A lot of my life has been about butts lately, in the best way possible. Last month I had my first burlesque show at DROM thanks to the New York School of Burlesque and my incredibly teacher Jo Weldon (
drew about it, a MUST READ!) and it will go down as one of the most spectacular nights of my life. The community of women I’ve found in this journey already are so fabulous and lovely and inspiring, and it's only just begun!? I can’t imagine how much more fun I’m going to have on stage. I wish I’d done this a long time ago, but I also don’t think I’ve been truly ready to pursue this dream until now. Something about 33 has told me, “yes, wear a hospital gown on stage, strip, and do the splits.” You simply must follow your own path!Other things happening. I started rewatching X-Files from the beginning because it’s one of the best ways to spend your time, I saw Dune 2 and couldn’t stop making jokes, and I gave a guy directions on the subway then realized we had the exact same outfit on.
Here’s a bunch of random ass emotional processing stuff. No explanation necessary!!!
And finally!! A list!!!!
