So, after Tulip Fest we were walking down to a delicious Mexican restaurant and passed the bakery my friends are getting their wedding cake from. In my drunkeness, I start yelling "hire me! I'm really good at what I do!" in the window. Luckily, they were closed.
I brought up that bakery to my teacher during cleaning today and she tells me to apply there. It's a really fancy place that makes crazy stuff like edible jewelry and really elegant cakes and pastries.
Here's hoping they don't have cameras!
Funny story.
My friends just texted me saying that they went to put down the deposit on their cake and asked if they needed any help. They mentioned me and the owner said to have me email her.
I've been going out for trivia night at the bar for years. The bar has changed for various reasons: lost its liquor license, low turnout, feud with ownership (two separate places), caught fire, and conflicted with my night class one semester (respectively) - but I still venture on out somewhere.
Current bar I'm at, I can't remember the last time one particular team got a question wrong. It's been months, at least for weeks I been there. The anchor of the team is a college professor, and week after week gets perfect scores and wins. My girlfriend won't go anymore because of it, and other teams are starting to drop out as well. I'm basically just going (by myself) out of habit, and hoping they don't show up.

Random Bonnaroo story: 2012 was my first Roo, and I went with two random people that I met on the subreddit for my school. They were nice enough guys and there were no issues or anything like that, but afterwards I didn't maintain any contact with them other than random likes on Facebook every so often. The next year I went with my then-bf Joey, and I knew of another couple that was going to Roo for their honeymoon, but I had no plans to meet up with them or anything like that. So on Thursday after Walk the Moon, I decided to take Joey to show where I had camped at in Pod 2 in 2012 (he and I were in Pod 1 that year). As we're leaving the crowd, I hear my name - the honeymooning couple had spotted me. We chitchat for a little bit and Joey and I continue on towards Pod 2, both of us being amazed that we had managed to run into them out of all these people. As we're approaching the art installation near Pod 2, I hear my name again - it was the two guys I camped with the year previous! Both of them had decided to make the trip just a week before. They were just randomly walking around the festival between sets, and happened to recognize me in one of the walkways between Centeroo and Pod 2. I'm generally pretty scientifically-minded and not much of a magical thinker, but it's things like that that make me think that there's just something special that goes on on the Farm each year... The odds of randomly running into two sets of people I had no plans of running into like must be very small. I dunno, it just makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up.

This kept happening to me and one of my best friends who went last year too but with a totally different group from me, and each day we ended up not even needing to communicate about trying to meet up because we'd just randomly bump into each other anyway. Every. Day. It was awesome. We realized we were destined to be fest soulmates, and he and I were gonna Roo togetherrrrrrr this year - until all went to shit and we are doing FF instead. The less-than-magical part of the story haha
Considering you've found the need to respond to my threads as if you are threatened by me I offer you some peace my confused counterpart. May you find peace in your restless soul.
Is it horrible if you wish that someone in your family were dead if all they have ever done is cause misery and distress to others? I am grappling with that thought.

waiting for kanye last hear I met a group of people and one of them lived three blocks from the house I grew up in, it was insane. Like when you can say these local placed and they know what it is! It was crazy!
I had to take some HR training thing about harassment for work. At the end I had to "play" this "game" where I control a mouse in a maze trying to get to cheese and answering questions about sexual harassment as it goes. What the fuck

deep breaths my love. I know he is causing you so much pain right now, just stay focused on you! (and me if you would like-i'm fun to focus on)

I've struggled with a family member and kind of wished they would just blow away with the wind. But that's not gonna happen, so I keep my interactions short and well-timed. Hugs to you lady! PS. Once you move, I will be the first person to visit. No joke, I need beach and zen time!

"Mmmmm, that's right. Put the cheese right there."
thank you all for the love and support. This is bringing out horrible thoughts in me, and that is so unlike me. I am just at the end of my rope. Dealing with my sister who has a history of mental illness mixed in with pure evil. Tough to completely extricate myself from the situation because of my mother, who she has convinced that she has not gotten a fair shake at anything and I am some sort of golden child. I have worked very hard for what little I do have. My husband recognized how evil she was and did his best to keep her away from me during our marriage, and of course now that is being thrown back up in my face. It is much more involved and complicated than all of that but I won't bore you with details. After all, this is Inforoo and my happy place. I really had hoped for a few hours with some of you at Shaky Knees and a few hugs but we all know how that turned out. Still smarting over that one (never even got a thank you or payment for the ticket either) but its upward and onward. And this is so much worse.
Positive thoughts are welcomed. There is so much suffering in the world right now that I feel bad even asking.
The spare bedroom will be open in Savannah and there are always air mattresses. Hoping that if I survive the next 3 1/2 weeks without a breakdown that the restorative power of the salt air, water and Spanish moss will work its magic on my soul. I guess there has to be a storm in order to produce a rainbow, right? Just hope this storm does no lasting damage. love you all
This gave me a chuckle. Thanks for the comedy, Bill.
Oh Papa Bear, you're so funny.
Sometimes it's hard to tell if they're really that stupid and believe the shit they spew, or they know better and just do it for the money that comes from scaring old people.
Edit: Made me remember the pay-per-view debate Jon Stewart and Bill O'Reilly had a few years back. It was embarrassing for O'Reilly, Stewart schooled him.

I'm sitting here trying to write an email to this bakery and my brain just keeps shutting down every time I try to write something. Get it together brain. We've got a job to get.

My group of friends has an inside joke where we all scream "RACHAAAEEELL!!!" It comes from that one scene in The Dark Knight and yes, it is stupid.
Anyway one year at Roo we were all walking around yelling it. We turned a corner, yelled again and the girl in front of us goes, "Yea?" She quickly informs us that her name is Rachael and we start chatting/walking with her.
Turns out she has lived down the street from on of my friends for 10 years but they had never met until that moment. So that was pretty amazing.

you can do it! what is the email about?
I'm just contacting the owners of the bakery. My friend was in there yesterday, asked if they were looking for help and mentioned me. The owner said they were considering bringing in some help since it's wedding season and asked to have me email her.
My brain is just so excited at the prospect of a really awesome job. This is the place. It's amazing.

Unfortunately, I won't be at Roo this year. We traded for a week at the beach around Labor Day (I'd rather go to Roo, though). You can bet it's something that I will discuss with them for the future though.

Well, vacation time is still vacation time. The beach sounds more relaxing. Sorry about roo though!
Cleaned out all my camping gear and I found a dead lizard in my tent. Not sure where I could have possibly picked up a lizard. I'm also missing every tent stake for my tent and canopy. Glad I set up everything, I usually don't.

Awwww, the lizard just wanted to take a ride home. Good thing you set your shit up, that would have sucked come bonnaroo.
