Things I mentioned in my last post but never wrote about:

The grocery cart story - my legs are still bruised from this incident. A couple of weeks ago I went grocery shopping with my little bubby (old lady) cart. It only fits two of my grocery bags in it but I had 3 of them. I'm making my way to my block and I'm almost to my apartment when all of a sudden my cart hits a crack in the sidewalk and tips over. My foot gets stuck underneath it and I fly over the cart and land on my shoulder. Hummous, spinach and other delicious foods in the back on top fall all over the sidewalk. This girl was walking towards me when this happened and helped me pick up all my groceries. I only had one more building to go and by the time I got to my place, my knee bleed through my jeans. It was quite the site to see. Embarassing, yet hilarious. My shoulder was sore for a week and I couldn't lift anything heavier than 5lbs. It was intense.


Fischerspooner - I went and saw them in concert while I was in Detroit. Amazing. The whole show was this ridiculous performance art piece. The two friends I went with said it was the most bizarre thing they have ever seen and would probably have nightmares. I on the other hand have dreams about seeing them again. The costumes, the lights, the music, it was perfect. I could have done without the weird dancers, but it suited the whole show. I wish I took pictures.

Hydrag Revue - June 13th was my birthday, which landed on a Saturday. Every Wednesday my friends and I go to Hydrate for the drag show that a friend hosts. Taj (the host) was told it was my birthday which meant I was brought up on stage with a few other people to do a birthday shot. While I was onstage doing the whole "What's your name, how old are you" schpeel my friend yells out, "She's wearing a butt plug." Taj turned her head around to me and said "Girl, are you wearing a butt plug?" I'm completely embarrassed because I hate being the center of attention/butt of a joke (no pun intended). As my face becomes bright red and I'm trying to defend myself my friend yells out, "It's been in for 2 days!" There was more embarrassment, a couple of threats I shouted out to my friend, and a ton of laughter. This story still gets told every time I hang out with them.

Speaking of my birthday, I had a decent time. My friends took me out for sushi, I got a tea pot and a ton of money (which i still have to write thank you notes to on Monday.) I ended up at my favorite bar in Chicago, Delilah's. Other friends showed up, lots of tequila was involved, and I somehow ended up being out till 5am.


So far it has been an eventful summer. This weekend is pride so I'm extremely busy but I'll try and write a decent post when I get home from work tonight or tomorrow.
