SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!!!
I just got an email asking if I'd be interested in being a promotions model for a local auto care company. $100/event, including car shows, nascar & drag racing rallies, and various car related events at local sports bars. I'd also be used in local print ads, and possibly a commercial.
totally going to look into it.

... and it's all because Gorden compared me to a vanquish. lmao.

thanks! I'm pretty excited. Gorden's been encouraging me to look into modeling, and I've always sort of had an interest in it- but I've always been more interested in being behind the scenes and doing wardrobe or makeup. I've never really given it any thought to being in front of the camera, so this'll be an experience.

acccckkkkkkkk!!! someone make the snow go away. I effing hate snow! Well, i take that back. I like it for the all of few hours it starts falling, I hate it after it's properly accumulated and everyone around here begins driving like a fcking idiot so I end up just locking myself in the house until they disappear. But now, I have cabin fever and I want to go out and do something! I can't even go and harass Flash at work because I can't get there thanks to the snow. ugh.

edit. btw- this was his car an hour after it started snowing last night.

why can't you go out? it's only snow. i'd love to go out and play in the snw with my daughter, but's it's bitter cold( sorry to those up north, but anything below freezing is bitter cold and then the teens and singles?). it hurts to breathe. so I'll tell you about cabin fever.

snow is horrible. its the worst stuff ever created. I'd rather be stranded on a deserted island with an erupting volcano. I hate the cold (and anything less than 50 is cold to me) and I hate wearing layers and I hate coats and jackets, and boots and gloves. Seriously... when someone talks about hell, I don't picture a firey inferno of torture. I picture alaska. Gimme summer time, tank tops, flip flops, and being able to walk around outside without feeling like your fingers and nose are going to fall off. Plus, winter just sucks in general from working outside for so many years- i know it's necessary, but I hated having to blanket all the horses, break the ice on the troughs etc. and frozen ground sucks for trying to ride on.

I also hate anything associated with winter and fall weather. I hate the rain, snow and freeze. Only thing I like cold is my beer. I cant stand storms ughh I hate it all. Its a good thing I live in CA.

lol. I knew there's a reason I've never gone to Chicago!

Seriously though- i grew up in Florida as a child. The times I knew the cold before that, I was too young to remember them. I didn't even own a coat until I moved to NC when I was 8, and my mother and I were bundled up like eskimo's when it hit 60! lol. Yeah, it gets pretty cold here & in England (where I'm from in England stays about the same temps as Raleigh- its just a wetter cold that seeps right down into you and takes forever to warm up from) but that's why I love indoor heating! lol. And I have a personal radiator to snuggle up to whenever I need him, so I'm usually not too bad about it. But 30's & 40's or less? ughhhh... i'll stay in my warm bed all day!
