RANT

I swear to GOD my mother is going to drive me fucking insane.  YES you're going in for knee surgery and YES you're scared/stressed. But holy shit batman my little sister will be there to nurse you like she ALWAYS does when you're sick/hurt.  She's the perfect daughter anyways, so why the hell will you want me around.

You think I've been PLAYING are Faire?? I have been busting my ASS all season, making sure that children aren't throwing rocks into the field towards the horses, that people sit down and/or not touch the birds while they are in flight, that they don't get SHOT by Master Darr as he's shooting LIVE STEEL ARROWS across the field. I've had idiots give me shit about keeping their kids in their shoulders, dumb asses putting their hands up to try to touch the Harris Hawks while in flight, drunks standing up multiple times in the bleachers, kids collecting rocks and THROWING them onto the field while performers and horses are on the field.  ALL of this I have to watch for/take care of during every show.  All under the blazing Florida sun from 10 am to 6 pm-ish. In a chemise, corset, skirt, pants, SUEDE knee high boots and a cloak.  But through all this i'm still supposed to be able to "play".

The only time I can go and see vendors is before opening gate, or during pub sing while vendors are slowly shutting down. I'm lucky if i have enough time to get to the food court backstage, get food that's on the OTHER side of Faire, and then head BACK to encampment and have time to sit and eat before i have to take field again.

I have to be at SEVEN shows throughout the day.  Three Jousts, Two bird shows and two archery demos; but i have time to run around faire and "play".... right... sure.  Lets see YOU do seven shows through the day and have time to run around to socialize and shop; especially having a Raven perched on your shoulder going "Oh look SHINY!"

Now she thinks that I would be better off with one of my friends instead of at home.  That's fine.  She has no clue that I've been thinking about moving out for a while now.  Once i get the car in my name, and my own registration, then i'll be set for trying to find some insurance.  I'll have to downgrade to a different pre-paid phone, but I don't really NEED all the extra that i have on my phone; i just love technology and new gidgets and gadgets.  I text more than i talk on my phone, and i'll still have my laptop and everything else.

I've got four people that are willing to open their doors to me if i need a place to go. Three people are close to where i'm at, the fourth is is Davie, which is a bit of a drive for me.

As for work, The Company probably isn't going anyway, Pubelicks i'd have to transfer to a closer store, just so that i don't have to drive massively out of my way for both jobs.  That may take some time to do, but i'd much rather have to wait out a transfer at the new place than sit at home and have it happen immediately and really waste gas.  So i will wait it out for now, probably get in contact with one of my friend's friends because two of my friends that are close live with family and i don't want to impose on them because of that fact.  My friend in Davie is a bit far, and i'm totally unfamiliar with that area, whereas Tamarac i'm mostly familiar with and can easily get to a more familiar spot if need be.

So we will see what happens.
