Sounds... Of Silent Money

It's been a massive weekend for me, working still a bit of a shock, Saturday was Big Queer Nation, went home at 3am, and up again for We Love... Sounds, the next day for 3:30- 02:45, and here I am and it'd monday morning. $60 in tips richer, as well as all that money I'll theoretically get paid.

So more importantly, at least there were Bar Girls to talk to. in theory. Lauren at BQN had a really long convo about religion, because our bar was totally dead. she joined MDP (the crew that does bar work for events at the horden) the same time as me and kev, but she hadn't worked since mardi gras, and she groaned when it finally clicked that this was a gay event. She's a real nice girl, and it's always weird (for me anyway) talking to christians about faith. but i did come out of it convinced I need to study a bit more about the whole thing if I'm going to be secure in my convictions, or even be sure that being secure in one's convictions is a good thing. like, Evangelical Fundies believe they are right, and have very strong convictions about everything.
But it was good fun anyway, and she didn't dismiss me as a pagan as I've been before. she's a nice girl, but I don't really know her well enough, so pretty much anything I write here will be a stereotype based on my previous experiences with christian girls, as if people can be understood by a single characteristic. Like, I can't even begin to put myself into any particular Box, and doing so to another person just diminishes the complexity that all of us have. most of us anyway. It's pretty hard not to judge the Jerkwad who kept sidling up to the bar and nicking people's drinks. Karma'll get him.

Definately got to get out and socalise more, missed long weekend troppo with y'all, wouldn't've had the money for it though unless I worked, so a bit of a catch-22 there, but next time eh. Holidays coming up soon. so for now,

Peace Out Y'all. posted by Keegan at 12:37 pm
