Okay, okay, I owe you a journal

Every time I ponder putting up a new journal, I consider it briefly then go "Ehhhh, save it for something interesting." I'm sort of losing my touch with DA right now. I don't know about you guys. 

January was a crazy month for me. Kicked it off with my first sexual assault charge (!!!). It really isn't as bad as it sounds. A creepy old man customer at the casino who was stalking me a bit for about a week wound up smacking my ass and the security guard insisted I press charges, so I did. Got paid to sit in with the cops and everything. I'm not sure what happened afterwards aside from a province-wide ban, but I haven't seen the guy since so I'm happy. 

Haven't been working THAT much, maybe two or three shifts a week. I got paid handsomely for my crazy Christmas schedule so that contributed towards my new ink nicely. 

Speaking of new ink.... it's on its way to being badass. I think it will take at least 4 sittings to finish though. I've done 5 hours so far, which actually wasn't as painful as it sounds -- my artist, Paul, is fantastic and we talked nonstop throughout. I saw him at the casino last night and he hugged me and I had a happy. He's genuinely really stoked about this piece as well. He also writes scripts and he's from England, so he's actually given me some useful insight on how his visa situation worked out. Anyway, more ink work on Tuesday. Maybe I'll get a pic up for you guys after that. 

Also got my CFC applications taken care of. Learned from my friend who completed the program that they accept a whopping FIVE candidates per year. So um. There's that. 

Had a liquor demo for a couple days, read LOADS of scripts for a contest in the US... Almost done with the latter. Finally kicked my cold's ass and started hitting the gym again. Annoyed that I'm not losing weight but I haven't really done much to change my diet either, sigh... I don't think I eat terribly, but I am so very fond of cheese. And chocolate. And booze. I'm pretty bulked up on muscle though, if I dare say so myself. I've started "oil pulling" daily with coconut oil to repair my cavities naturally... Read about it online, thought I'd give it a shot. Otherwise I need to get some work done soon. 

Also have a bit of a social life going for me now with some folks from the casino! I don't know what to do with myself anymore. I can't afford to hang out with people. But it's good times, I'm happy with it. 

The Brit is coming out in March and we're going to sort out all our issues and hopefully it will be a good time. It's been pretty rough lately, just with the distance and my crazy new life -- I hope it will feel normal again when he comes here. He's thinking of applying for a visa to return to Canada in the coming year. 

Who's still alive here?! Give me a shout!
