The one with the meme: 2.6.06

The following is because I'm feeling lazy and yet still inspired to post. I'm too lazy to write in detail about how deliciously normal things are starting to feel once more and about how grievously miserable things got over some misused and misunderstood language. I'm too lazy to write in detail about myself and my restlessness and my itch for newness. And I'm too lazy to write about how that whole itch thing really isn't getting me anywhere...unless you count on my own nerves. So instead, there's this, borrowed off of, well, everyone.

4 jobs I've had:

1) Community case worker for "at-risk" kiddies in Baltimore. Think "The Wire," think "The Corner." It's the worst best job I ever had.

2) Clerk in a non-chain video store. The kind that has to rent porn to stay afloat against the Blockbuster big chains.

3) Salesgirl at The Gap. I still compulsively fold my jeans along the seams.

4) Waitress at The Cultured Pearl, a long-gone SOWEBO establishment. I never ate more burritos in my life; I learned how to mix a martini.

1) Dazed and Confused
2) Kicking and Screaming
