The Carnivorous Carnival!

The Humpus March 4, part 2.
Once again, way tired. But the boy is already in bed so no one is in danger of getting hurt. He fidgets while he’s sleeping. It’s endearing.
He’s fallen asleep before me every night this week. Aw. I’m a night person; he’s a morning person. I’m trying to become a morning person. It’s hard. Suggestions? Anyone? I just know that around 5 or 6 PM I’m ready to seriously get down to business and that’s around when everyone in my office is taking off for the eve. That’s when I’m most awake. I am useless in the mornings. Unless you want someone to be grumpy. Har.
I used to go to work at a coffee shop at 4:30 AM. It was actually kind of fun. I still wasn’t fully with it but I got to set out all the morning pastries. I liked that part.
I didn’t eat any doughnuts today; they were all gone by the time I checked for them in the kitchenette. Sigh. Nothing can top the most perfect doughnut ever. Seriously, that thing belongs on the Simpsons or something.
I’m job searching and it’s getting really frustrating and demoralizing. More frustrating and demoralizing than my real job? Hm, tough call. I also applied to a job that listed 200+ facebook friends and twitter followers as job criteria. I’m ok there, but I do want more twitter followers. *cough* #ff @marleymagaziner *cough*
I made dinner for myself and the boy tonight. It felt good. I like cooking, especially for other people. I went on OKCupid just now to check out a boy who had messaged a troupemate and noticed that I’d written in my profile that I wanted to cook for someone. Aw. The best part, he likes to do dishes. I hate dishes. It’s kind of incredible. I’ve been through so much shit with boys that I have to keep reminding myself that I deserve this.
…psst, can you tell I’m a little drunk? If so, shhhh.
Xoxo
Marley…who almost signed her name Cherry. Foolin’ around on the burlesque twitter…I’m going to bed now.

In the Humpus (STILL not a real thing. Except on google groups)
My troupe has a website: http://www.storybookburlesque.com Maaaybe NSFW; not naughty, just sexy. When I was riled up on drugs Saturday night I told the boy about every member of my troupe and I believe I mentioned how much I love each member. Even the ones who drive me crazy.
No really, what did you all think of that Goldfrapp video? Someone did too many drugs, that’s what I think. Also, pink jumpsuit ftw. (The ONLY thing ftw in that video.)
Burlesque super-duper-star Dirty Martini is in the New Yorker: http://www.newyorker.com/arts/ for having a seriously curvy body, that woman can move. And her balloon act is en pointe. Skillz, people.
I want to be part of Naked Girls Reading! I have a TON of experience! http://nakedgirlsreading.com/ Tonight in NYC it was Sci Fi. Next month it’s young adult I’m gunnin’ for twilight… or Lemony Snicket. Yes. Which is your fave Lemony Snicket? I like the Carnivorous Carnival.
