I love dirt. A prostitute once told me, when we were camping along the river with babies, that dirt is like sex. People are disgusted or afraid of it, but really we are born from it. When I was a kid we used to go once a week to the laundromat for a shower. We… Continue reading dirt

Little miracles
Today I saw a quote in a bookstore that said There are two ways to live your life. One as though nothing is a miracle. The other as though everything is. I want to write it on a pretty piece of paper and tape it to my ceiling. I also saw an amazing collage-ish thing… Continue reading Little miracles
Reason #382 I love being a stripper.
Tonight started out slow, and it stayed that way. There were three more new girls. I did four dances all night long, and by the time last call arrived I was sooo ready to hole up in the van with a good book and go to sleep. Of course there’s this thing between last call… Continue reading Reason #382 I love being a stripper.
crazy in the strip club
If you’ve been reading for a while, you may have noticed that I have a strange affinity for people who’s perceptions of reality are, well, different from the majority’s. Delusional, schizophrenic, psychotic. Whatever, we’ll just call them crazy and mean it in the most affectionate way. Here in Alaska, and especially at this little club,… Continue reading crazy in the strip club
Happy (early) Solstice!
I’m always so pleasantly shocked that the world keeps turning. You’d think I’d be used it by now, but I still wake up in the middle of the night afraid that the sun is never coming back and stay up all night waiting for it. Every morning when the sun comes up and every summer… Continue reading Happy (early) Solstice!
Life, the universe, and foot fetishists.
Yesterday was another one of those days off where I still worked. I meant to be at the club by ten, but I took a nap and ended up not getting there until 11:30. When I pulled in the parking lot was full of RVs, and I rushed to finish my dinner and let Bro… Continue reading Life, the universe, and foot fetishists.
This is how I can tell season's almost here
The tips from my first stage set: Of course, the lack of money the rest of the night indicates that it’s still not quite really here…
ORU in the titty bar!
It was four am and almost everyone had gone home. I was sitting at the bar with another girl and our lone customer, sipping my fake seabreeze and considering leaving. I don’t like to leave until it’s all over, until every possibility of another customer walking in with a big wad of cash has been… Continue reading ORU in the titty bar!
hmmm….
Here’s what the newspaper had to say about the police chase I was behind yesterday. http://www.adn.com/news/alaska/crime/story/8973444p-8888258c.html Note the many, many discrepencies between my first hand account and what the police say happened. Girdwood? Ten miles? Hardly. Pulled over on his own? Yeah, right. (A couple miles past where they blocked the road, I did see… Continue reading hmmm….
Driving is becoming so eventful
Last night when I left work the sun was still up (possibly it goes down for a little bit while I’m at work, but I’m in denial). I drove part way to the big huge city and then stopped to snuggle and sleep with a friend. It’s so good to have friends you can call… Continue reading Driving is becoming so eventful
