My weekend...
Well Friday wasn't all bad. It passed and it was ok. I'm glad I saw Em before she left.
Friday night was good with volunteer work. Saw people who I haven't seen since I had come back.
I came home at around 12.45am and I think I was asleep at 1.20am. I guessing this because at 1.30am my mobile rang. Huh? Who calls at 1.30 in the morning!?! - unless I had just seen them an hour before. I looked at the screen "steelo". The boy from the country.
"Hi "steelo", what are you doing calling at 1.30 in the morning?!"
"Hi, I thought you would be in the city -"
"No. I'm in bed."
"Oh."
"Where are you?"
"Walking home, between Box Hill and Burke Rd"
I'm thinking that's a quite a distance to walk...
I continued "I thought of you today"
"Yeah?"
"Yeah, but the thoughts were a bit more pleasant then what they are right now."
"oh - Well I better be off and let you get some sleep"
"Ok, see ya later."
I think I sounded a bit mean to him, but I was tired and had to get up and work the next morning and wasn't in the mood to just chat at that time. In the morning. I think he might think twice before he decides to call again. Oh well.
I had another fantastic night last night.
Work was really crap - lack of sleep and patience then having to deal with fricken clients who were either argumentative or psychotic!!! I had one client who was really nice and another who gave me his "call me" business card, But one of the psychos` who wanted a perm and no cut,maybe trim,storm out of salon, come back in, complain, huffy huffy then sit down tight pursed lips and shitty and STILL got her hair cut!!! She obviously had underling issues but hey don't take them out on your hairdresser!
Anyway Jay came round and I colored his hair didn't work which was as I thought and he cut mine.
We were tired but got ourselves revved up to go out - just for an hour. This was at 11pm.
Two clubs, A drag show and lots of stage dancing later it was 3am. Home by 3.30 and asleep by 4.30am.
So much for an early night, but we had a ball!!!
I wear my Christian fish necklace all the time. Those who know what it means usually say nothing but those who don't question it.
I wore a white top which made my necklace more obvious. I was walking into the X change when the door (huge guy in Drag) person stamps my hand I knew what was coming -
"How's about a tip?"
"You'd look better in fish nets" (stockings) I say and laugh. He smiled
"They broke, - Hey you know that's the symbol for born again Christians??"
"Well - I'm not born again."
A line was forming behind me and I walked through.
I was wondering before I went out if I should of taken off the necklace but I figured, well no, I have my beliefs but I'm not narrow minded as some people perceive Christians to be.
I saw one guy wearing a cross around his neck later on that night but I don't think he was gay, he seemed kinda uncomfortable.
There were heaps more straight people last night.
Jay asked what I was up to tonight and I told him I'm going to church he smiled "Really?"
"Yeah".
I've surprised a few people like that lately. I don't think it's that strange.
Anyway - I took lots of photos and the memories are great.
Work today was good. I only made $107 where as last week I made $314.
Which was good cos I like to be busy and I like to look productive but you get slow days.
I came across a pregnant 22yo client today - nice girl doing it a little harder then others. Geezz she needed to talk. More underling issues with the surprise baby and having to work on the relationship with her now Fiancee,renting,not working,living week to week, stopping education - sigh. I think from my own view, that is hard. When people need to talk to someone that's when I'm glad that I'm a hairdresser.

thanks Wes for the reflection. But i'm still going to be struggling with it because I think God loves everyone. Being gay isn't a choice. It makes me wonder what about the gay ministers?
You're welcome Kaz.
God does love everyone. I can very much sympathize with your situation. If you ever feel like talking to someone about it, I'm more than willing to talk with you. Hope your week is going well. Talk to you later.
