..you’ve got no class.

Life in the last couple days has been a good time. The shop is coming along, we’re days from final inspections and that means we’re days from opening! soft opening, anyways. just enough to get us making some money, and i’m totally okay with that. I’ve gotten some gnarly toys recently too, an m40 gas mask, chemical handling gloves, oxygen tank with regulators, masks to use with it, and last but not least,  a DJ Jazzy Jeff & Fresh Prince album on vinyl! This girl who has been hanging around the shop brought Ben and I lunch yesterday and is supposed to bring us more goodies tomorrow in the form of water based fire extinguishers, AKA the kind i can empty, fill with paints and pigments, charge with air, and hose bright beautiful colors everywhere i so please. suck it!

In other news, there has been thick & juicy slices of drama, topped with rich layers of hilarity, served with a hearty side of awkward. Tonight i was notified that i “Wasn’t invited” to a party. This happens to people all the time when they’re not wanted at a party, but this case was different. Why? because i wasn’t AT the party in question. in fact, i wasn’t in the city, or for that matter, the state! I was having a webcam chat with Aaron, and he was at some get together at jenna’s. He picked up his laptop, and took me around the party, like a floating head, or one of those head-in-a-jars from futurama. I was saying hey to everyone at the party, a lot of whom are people i miss who i haven’t spoken to since i left. My head found its way into a room where Alex Norby, Schoobs, and Jenna were hanging out, and after i got to wave and yell my hello’s to everybody, the tension began.

Evidently, Jenna wasn’t comfortable with my unanounced visit to her party. My floating head adventure was relocated to the corner of the dining room where i was set so i could only face the wall and i was informed by Norby that I “was not invited”. I GOT BANNED FROM A PARTY I WASN’T EVEN ATTENDING FROM 680 MILES AWAY. It makes me feel like i rule at the internet.

[3:51 Gina] i didn’t even know that people could e-crash parties!

Succulent, sweet, mouth-watering hilarity. speaking of mouth-watering, today i ate at a DELICIOUS bbq place around the bend from the shop. tiny, old, mom n’ pop shop bbq place that has amazing southern pulled pork and sweet tea. jesus christ. i could get used to this whole Tennessee thing. :)

Seeing the shop come together in person is incredible. i’ve never been so proud of any of the projects i’ve been involved in in my life. workin 14 days straight. not planning on any days off until i leave for florida. i may be working myself pretty hard, but i love where this is going. i feel insanely dedicated.
