The old smell of wood smoke wraps me up and carries me away as soon as I get out of the van. It pulls me down a trail I can’t remember, to a cabin I haven’t seen in over a decade. He whispers my name before he opens the door a crack, worried about a… Continue reading Smoke and Light

Exciting update about my laptop!
The Gateway people had said that it could take up to six weeks to get my laptop back. When I sent it to them I enclosed some, uhm, well, motivating materials (I was all, “hmm, should I send em christmas cookies or naked pictures?” I won’t tell you what I ended up sending) but I… Continue reading Exciting update about my laptop!
Attention Van Dwellers: Double Your Space!
Okay, maybe not exactly double. But almost. Previously I had very little empty space for chilling out in the van. The bed takes up half of it, lengthwise, and then in the other half there’s a bookshelf (two crates deep), a box I sit on, and about two feet of floor space before you ran… Continue reading Attention Van Dwellers: Double Your Space!
Life in bits
I can’t even explain how crazy last night was, complete with step-uncles in the tity bar, a drunk female customer slapping me, and other random drama. Instead I’ll tell you this funny tidbit from the end of the night. There’s a dancer at this club that’s a little crazy. It’s a long story that I… Continue reading Life in bits
Life Lessons From Stripping: Entitlement and Value
“You’re really beautiful, you know.” He is slightly balding, wearing comfy shoes, with subtle gold jewelry, and he was stuck staring at my eyes, lips, and cleavage. “Aw, thanks,” I lower my eyes demurely for second, then grin. “I was born that way.” He smiles, of course. The guys who think it’s a joke never… Continue reading Life Lessons From Stripping: Entitlement and Value
Happy New Year!
I had the funniest stripper problem last night. I was in the dressing room rushing to finish my make up before stage. I’ve got this funny new gel eyeliner that you apply with a brush. It’s great stuff, but there’s definitely a learning curve and I accidentally made a big black blob at the corner… Continue reading Happy New Year!
I Live in a Van Down by the River
The first time I told someone I lived in a van they said, “down by the river?” “Yeah! How’d you know?!” I just figured it was obvious from looking at me that I belonged by the river. But no, it turns out it was something funny that happenned in the teevee once. Everyone said it.… Continue reading I Live in a Van Down by the River
Another Interview With My Mom
If you’ve been reading a while, you’ll remember previous interviews with my mom. If you haven’t go check them out. Remember the time you saved Sunshine with rose hips? Yes, we had been out on trapline for a couple weeks with our dog team and two pups who were about four weeks old. One of… Continue reading Another Interview With My Mom
I'm in the coolest place right now
So, I know this isn’t my best writing. It’s 5AM and I’m braindead. Sorry. I was just starting to think I’d missed the road when I found it. I’d been driving north and everything was blurring into itself. The long stretches of snow and scrubby spruce can run together so that you can’t remember if… Continue reading I'm in the coolest place right now
Driving North
North, south, north, I’m starting to get dizzy! So I drove north a little yesterday, stopped and worked at my favorite little titty bar in the whole state (where the money/bullshit ratio has totally righted itself) and made a suprising chunk of change in a couple hours. Now I’m in little Amerikkka and I can’t… Continue reading Driving North
