the dragon posts on craigslist! a terrific top 10! tuesday galore!

1. now, ladies, take a gander at this!

this pic makes me feel hopeful!

i feel this way about my time spent with mars! and to be madonna, would of course, be divine! and to be madonna wearing madonna inspired clothes circa 84-85' that even YOUR own daughter wants to wear in 09', well folks, nothing can ever beat that!

NOTHING!

2. can we even do a number 2?! we'll try:

so the lifelong campaign wrapped up last friday, it was an amazingly short and sweet two week fund raising campaign for me - all ladies, nothing could be sweeter! everyone got down and dirty, and we liked it that way! i hit the donors hard, as usual and talked to some amazing folks and just a few amazing asshole's! the best part - i pitched them hard at $2500, and i landed a handful of large gifts, $1000 and a few $500's.

3. so annie my buddy who i've worked with on two lifelong campaigns used to work for an elite dating service, it was high flautin', i think people spent nearly $1800 just to sign up! so i asked her the tough question: "would you recommend a dating service for someone like me" - and she replied honestly: "i wouldn't recommend it to most people". she went in depth, and when she began a sentence with: "christy, there aren't a lot of how shall we say: artists....." i started to laugh! i knew where she was going with this! in the end, she told me that behind the scenes it was a lot of wealthy accountants, etc. who used services like these. she offered me a huge mountain high tip that sharene had put in my ear a year ago! craigslist. so i did it! annie put up an half assed ad, in the middle of the night, partially drunk and met her current very nice boyfriend of 10 months on it! it can work!

4. i posted the smoky - i'm tired - and overworked - but still lovely - and a bit gritty, when needed! - pic, the asian farrah faucett inspired hairdo! then i got all nervous, and then they started to reply!

5. about 20-25 men so far, in 48 hours, pretty good i think. it could be more, i don't know. 2 were good, one of the two is great - at the very least, no matter what happens, i would consider this person to be a new friend! this is taking it SLOW for me. it's challenging for me to do anything slow, but i'm learning!

so this man - divorced and single like me for over 2 years, very nice, great sense of humor!! very handsome, my age, ex-fireman, injured on the job after 13 years, is now in nursing school. 1 teenage son, and he's also taking care of his dad, who has cancer. this man is searching like i am. i would love to see him, a date night would be great!

we've emailed each other, wish me luck!

6. i am love - and i am searching for two bodied love, in the heart & arms of a strong man - someone stronger than me! i actually used the term: "hunter/gatherer" in my ad! i laid it out, as best as i could, i hope i did okay!

7. today was amazing and physically tiring/challenging - i worked out well beyond capacity, i'll be more conscientious of this next time! not a good thing! and then i met up with my friend stacy from film school and her son nation - we went to the joy and toy salvation army giveaway! i was blown away by what they offered! they let me pick out mars toys and i walked away with at least 8-10 amazing gifts for her! i am beyond grateful for their generosity!

8. have you ever had to walk around with no underwear because all of your drawer's were dirty? i did this today, and as sad as it might sound - i didn't mind it after awhile! my butt is fairly clean!

9. scratch that last sentence, horrible! my butt is immaculate!

10. money has been challenging, but some is on it's way. i've had to sell some rare cd's this week, but i held out as long as i could! sharene commented that even when i've teetered, i always hold it down and bring it back up again!

11. time for a hot shower!

12. so i ran into jamanesh in the laundry room tonight and asked her if she and her kids wouldn't mind taking mars again 3 nights a week so i could work, she said that she would talk to them - i offered her $60 a month, (literally $20 a teenage/young adult!) for pitching in and taking care of mars! this is chump change, but i want to offer up something - m-wed, 4-9, and 9 is late for their family! she was supportive as usual, and i appreciate her families help. i explained to her the situation, and i felt bad asking her, but i felt like i had too. money matters when someone is helping you - do what you can. this is my philosophy!

13. i found all my 2nd quarter books on line for literally $100 and change - this surely beats the crap out of the $400 i dropped last quarter. i want to rock out 2nd quarter hardcore, i'm almost ready!

14. sharene reminded me that nobody can do it alone and she's right. i'm ready to partner again, i need too. this situation is ridiculous and i feel bad about the constraints that i'm temporarily under. this is self imposed, i realized, but this is also what happens when you're a single mom, 37, and chasing hollywood. i'm a filmmaker, i need to do this. i need to create and manifest more help, more than ever before - every second of my life is valuable, precious and counts. more than ever, i mean it.

15. you are valuable, don't forget!

16. i got a phone call from tamara the manager at the paramount, where i'll return for the second leg of their campaign on jan 11th. the comped rockette's tickets have arrived for christmas eve! i honestly thought that maybe they had sold out, but to read her text today really made my day! they landed mars and i two loge seats, best in the house with VIP access to the private paramount club! we'll both get dressed to kill and murder the scene - mars wasn't thrilled until i told her what the show was, and how beautiful the paramount is, and now she's excited. i couldn't be more grateful. this makes me feel like the luckiest person alive, i'm serious. i've always wanted to see them live, and their christmas performance will be off the chain!? crazy! i told mars that i had wanted to be a rockette when i was little, she laughed!

life is sweet, when you least expect it!
your fiery friend - christyx/christy nc-17 and possibly still DC!
