It is so expensive to live here! I can't find a decent 2 bedroom apartment for under $1000 a month. Technically, a person can afford to pay a rent price that is 1/3 of their income, so I CAN afford it, but I just don't want to pay that much! I just have to keep looking I guess.
I'm pretty boring lately. Been looking for a new apt., potty training the kitten, working out....which is still foreign to me but I actually like it. I feel crappy if I skip a day. It really does wonders for stress.
I saw Chris Rock's newest HBO special last night. It never stops being funny! The part about keeping his daughter off the pole....so true. If your daughter's a stripper, you DID fuck up. I am really sick of strippers this week. It's like naked preschool with drugs. Most of the time it doesn't bother me, but it does wear on me from time to time. The waitress and I got bored yesterday and made a tally list:
DANCERS THAT ARE....(out of 40-ish)
In college = 1
Tweakers = 18
Pot heads = 33
E-Tards = 7
Whores = 38
Bulimics = 6
Beaten by their boyfriends = 3
Single mothers = 21
Single mothers who have at least one child from an unknown father = 5
Single mothers who have at least one child from an unknown father that they try to pass off as their current boyfriend's = 3
Taking anti-psychotic meds = 4
Taking anti-depressants = 9
Taking both = 3
taking both plus street drugs = 2
Fat = 6
Ugly = Waitress says 30, I said 25, manager said we're mean, there's only 10.
Molested as kids = 8 that we know of
Stupid = 15
Bitches = 6
Nice = 34
Girls we consider friends = 3

I feel ya about the rent thing. I'm in a nice section of Brooklyn, NY and my apartment is a rent-stabilized tunnel. It's a piece of shit. Only a stall shower, and the rooms are about 9 ft wide. One bedroom for 3 people (the baby sleeps in the bed w/ us). Yes, it's only $700/mo and that's why we're here. Two bedrooms in any acceptable 'hood runs about $1350 minimum. FUCK! That's just insane.
Your stripper list is hilarious and so true. I used to be a dancer, as I've mentioned in the past, and yeah, there's always something up w/ dancers. I suspect the # of ones they were molested is much higher.
So hey, how old is your kid? Mine is 2 1/2 now and a frggin maniac! His favourite word is "No", closely followed by "Stop." And a lot of hitting me, my BF and the dog (the cats are too fast for him) is also involved. Does it get better? He was the sweetest, calmest, mellowest baby *ever* and now he's Captain Insane-o. Tell me it gets better, please. If you'd like to drop a hint of how you dealt with the twos, I'd be glad to hear it.
And have you found a cool GF yet? I hope so...seems to be like you deserve to be happy and well-laid.
