a good friend comes through, and a tale of jerome, from renton! 10 sensational things/tuesdaySubmitted by dragon chic on Wed, 04/09/2008 - 3:59am.
p-town - big thanks, i hope you read this in 5 years when i'm calling you up to join my crew in hollywood. i'm promsing you a spot on my team, and you've got it. thank you for bailing me out today! hello ladies - here we go! 1. bank of fucked up america - hit me so hard with 7 $35 overdraft fees! motherfuckers! i got them to clean up ONE of them. this sent me into a tailspin. 2. i purchased my ticket to san francisco last night! it was expensive, but worth it. i had just enough money for food until friday, and then it was wiped out completely. 3. i stare at my cd's, it's all i have left! the kids need stuff, i need to get it. i ask my friend for help, she comes through. it was so hard for me to ask, i almost didn't. my therapist has said don't give everything up! the cd's, the whatever. the universe will hear that you're desperate! i love mary j blige, mariah carey, kathleen hanna. these women inspire me to keep going, but i will sell it ALL if i have to, i've done it before. my friend cares about my family and knows what i'm up against and she sees what i'm trying to pull off here. 4. she is 22, and i'm 35. i'm grateful that she has been in my corner for a year and 1/2 now. we've swapped late night stories, and she's seen my transformation. she is gold. 5. it's amazing what people can do for you, when you ask. but you need to ask! if you don't, nobody can help you. 6. thank you paula. 7. jerome, from renton washington - you'll never read this, but it's worth posting about! he asks me: "so, you're asian, petite, attractive, so why are you on eharmony? be honest". thank you for the compliment jerome! how can i answer this question? okay jerome, have you seen the previews for the new indiana jones movie? they brought marion back! (i can't even say karen allen, because it will only confuse him further!). well she's: hot, sexy, tough, the ultimate side kick, a badass, beautiful, the kind of woman that will have your back, right? this is me. this is what a masculine woman is. that didn't answer your question did it? 8. eharmony - oh why?!! the men have been okay, i've been upfront about who and what i am. it's such a mixed bag isn't it? i hope that i meet someone nice! 9. gearing up for more major changes. 10. i responded to a p/t cleaning position that i will take, maybe 20 hours a week. it's going to be tough, but we need it. wish me luck! my full time job hasn't paid enough in months, i need to supplement until i find the golden ticket! 11. burn it to the ground. when all else fails, light the fuse. get ready with the pail of water, throw it onto the flames at the last minute. don't blame yourself when you have to do this, sometimes, setting things on fire is the best thing you can do! hearts and hopes, dc dragon chic's blog | login or register to post comments | email this page | printer friendly version
turtledove, fuck! i'm looking for mr. right not mr. "my favorite movie is rambo!!". god! i tried to be nice. i ended up shutting down 3 of them today. 2 just came off wrong! jerome was nice, but not really my type. when someone is looking for someone with "sexual maturity/experience", i need to go the other way. what does that shit mean? you want someone with sex ed knowledge who wears depends, granny gowns and knee high's to bed?!! i'm not feeling that shit!! i'm not picky, i just want something/someone good dammit! i'm waiting to hear back from one guy that hit the mark, he was cool. spritual, good looking, kind and considerate. it seems like he's been out of the game for awhile, he has two kids, and is a little younger than me. it could/would work. we chatted a bit and hopefully he's interested. if not, i'll continue my search.... i'm the ultimate woman, but i also know that timing is crucial. what happened to loyalty? lust? good times? TRUST. i'm working out the kinks as we speak! wish me luck green hard shelled/tender heart lady! i hear you on the "punish" tip. i had no idea that you could be slammed down repeatedly like that. once or twice, but 7 times total? insane! thank you for thinking of me! hearts to you, dc a fire breathing/green scaled mistress production! At one point when I was much younger I was writing bad checks to the supermarket, etc because I had no money for food (later there was a phase where NO ONE would take checks from me). At one point I realized I had gone through $300 in overdraft fees alone in a month! And I was so super broke...it just hurt. Yeah, I mean, I know it was the consequence of the bad check writing but I had to eat, you know? I hate how they add up, how they will take ATM payments and then still charge you overdraft fees because somehow the payment goes through on another day when there is less money. Banks, man. hang in there... i did this too, years ago, we're talking early 90's!! i needed stripper gear to start my sex industry career, (this is true!), i also needed food. most people have done this! (take that one mr. brown shoes!). i'm sorry, X - i know what this feels like! it's a matter of survival, nobody does this because they have a better option. life or death? we always choose life. ahhh the fees! i'll get this paid up, and won't look back! thank you for your support buddy! dc forever! see you soon! a fire breathing/green scaled mistress production! Fuck B of A!!! They did this to me last week! It totally would have wiped me out, but I told them to close my account and that I would take my sweet time paying them back! I know I will be the one to lose in the situation, but they take money from people like they have the right. They don't even have the money to lend out in the first place. M.Fer's. I'm sorry this happened to you too! You will pull through this. thank you for understanding! you stuck it to them and they listened! this is good. this lady today was literally laughing in the background today, i didn't even have enough fight in me to try to pitch a fit on her. i didn't care, and neither did she! i realize that the more i worry about money, the worse it gets for us. i'm going to continue to job search, work hard and see where it gets me! today i went by my old work, and hugged a good friend! it felt good to be standing in front of the building, to see where i was a year and a half ago, and to compare it to today. it's like a totally different time, place and life. weird! i agree, the house cleaning thing is cool. i worked hard at it for about a year, and quit when i took my current job. wish me luck! my interview is on monday, my day off. i'll get back from my trip and hopefully land this gig. thank you for the compliment! strong and grounded is super sweet! my buddy was so cool - i looked into her eyes today and it made me feel good. her mom was also a single parent and she remembers what it was like growing up. not only that, but she's a top notch person and didn't think twice. i'll pay her back on friday. i'm learning to receive and ask for help when i need it. i spent so many years not doing this, and i can't live that way anymore. love to the love, dc a fire breathing/green scaled mistress production! thanks for sharing and inspiring! we've got to let love rule hey starpowers! i'm finally picking up speed - thank you for acknowledging this! sometimes i forget to look around me! when i'm downtown and walking around, i always remind myself to look up! i need to stare up at the sky and use it as motivation to unlock my mind, and to continue to heal myself. i think i can do this. anyone can! thank you for always encouraging me, even when it's hard for me to be brave! love, a fire breathing/green scaled mistress production! My new mantra: burn it to the ground.
i mean it! you're an excellent friend - thank you for understanding my odd ways! you always make me smile! i'm the lady you can always count on! and lean on, i mean it! if you need me, i'm here for you. burning is what i do best! i think if more people used this element, it would/could help them heal. love to your crew, dc a fire breathing/green scaled mistress production! jerome is sweet, but he sounds like he's never been a woman, poor guy. Best of luck with the p/t cleaning position! As always, good to read you. ***the United States is one of only four out of 168 countries studied to not have some form of paid family leave for new moms. We join Swaziland, Papua New Guinea, and Lesotho in not having that policy in place. *** great to hear from you babe! how are tony and simon doing? you know, jerome is only one of two men that i would consider meeting. this has been interesting! i only want to do this for a month, and i suspect that if you were serious, you would hang in there for probably 3-6 months. this was purely a science experiment! i wanted to see what it would be like, swore up and down like a moron that i wouldn't do it! and ta-da! here i am! this has been fun, i like my pics, i feel pretty proud. and you know me, i don't take myself that seriously! posing with a paper mache' cat is hardly "hardcore"! i like to stand out, jerome's comment was funny don't you think? it's not easy for anyone when they enter this arena. wish me luck sister, i need it. i've talked to my girlfriends about it, and i honestly think that people above the age of 25 probably need to do something like this at least once. mostly because it does get harder to meet a variety of people in our age range (i can't speak for everyone, but at least that's been my experience). i want to keep my flo-jo open right now, it's where it needs to be. thank you for understanding my need on the p/t work right now. it would really help us get a leg up, and the cleaning thing is something i've done in the past. hearts to you friend, dc a fire breathing/green scaled mistress production! |
Fuckin B of A...and well all banks with their overdraft fees. I mean, I know they have to "punish" or whatever they'd like to call it, but it's such a illogical thing, charging you for not having enough money in the acct. HELLO?! NOT ENOUGH MONEY means NOT ENOUGH MONEY! Like the $ for the fee is going to magically appear.
Good luck with the p/t cleaning gig-- I hope it brings in some good cash. Jerome funny...in a weird kind of way.
Keep kickin' ass, DC-- you rock!
