Old Stuff, A Little Dusty

This might be the best plate of perogies I’ve ever made. I grew the onion, garlic and the herbs. The perogies are from a small business in Philly. I made and preserved the apple sauce a few months ago.

Were you a dead journal or live journal kid back in the early 2000s? All my friends were on Live Journal but I put all my deepest thoughts in Dead Journal. I long for the days when I can be dramatic and just complain online without worrying.

Shout out to trans women who aren’t computer scientists or musicians or avant-garde artists or whatever.

Shout-out to tgirls who work at Taco Bell. Thank u queen, society would collapse without you

Over twenty years ago my big brother got me a job at a Taco Bell in the St. Louis suburbs-West County. He warned me that it was the “gay Taco Bell”, but since I was coming from the “gay Howard Johnson’s” I wasn’t shocked. It turns out it was the black trans women Taco Bell complete with black trans women in management. And they’d worked out an arrangement with the local teen Narcotics Anonymous group so that twice a week we would shut down the drive thru and the dining room and exclusively serve 60+ teens in various stages of recovery. And many of the women I worked with were in various stages of being out or transitioning and they were from all generations from teens to over 50. One woman I worked with had a regular corporate job presenting as a man 9-5 Mon-Fri and then came to Taco Bell and worked 6pm -2am Friday and Saturday night so she could be herself surrounded by other black transwomen in those stolen weekends. And we had customers come from all over the metro area because they knew they could be themselves in the dining room. I only worked there from 1999-2001 but for young me, this was a vital, formative experience. Some of the girls came from north city all the way out to the “gay Taco Bell” on Manchester in west county because they heard it was safe to work there. Like- I know times have changed but they haven’t changed much in 20 years. I’m still convinced that for lgbt youth, finding a job at your city’s version of the “gay Taco Bell” is key to survival.

This is my cat and my husbands legs. Im changing dinner reservations as she will not move

Day 1: my keyboard came in today. I have a beginner book and made it through the first few pages.

Small goal- work through 6 to 8 pages per night.

Weekly goal- record my progress once a week- I don’t know if I’ll post it cause It’s gonna be bad.

Monthly goal- record one exercise/song to post to show progress.

Big ass goal- I want to learn to play Konstantine by Something Corporate and All too Well (10 minute version) by Taylor Swift. I want to learn other songs too, but I figure those would be good and insane goals.

I need to look up if theres a piano arrangement for ‘November Rain’ by Guns n Roses and ‘That was a crazy game of poker’ by OAR. I just love long ass songs

Mom said don’t meet people off the Internet. But they want the bricks that I want gone but don’t want to move. Plus they paid me to take them.

I decided to buy a keyboard piano the other day. I don’t play yet. The store I ordered from called me to tell me it shipped, Barry is super excited for me starting a musical journey and said I have great taste in machines. Little does he know, if this goes well, there’s a pretty blue Yamahas Synthesizer that I’ll be buying myself for Christmas.

This started because my husband said he wanted to listen to synth Johnny Cash.

So I’m going to learn to play Something Corporate and Taylor Swift music too. Because I’m an old emo.

Sometimes I just want to be able to sleep like my cat. He can sleep anywhere and any time. Instead I’m here worrying about my garden and how to get a piano in the house without my husband noticing…

A few years ago I planted this grape vine.

This is the first time I’m getting any sort of fruit from it and every time I come outside there’s more baby grapes. Unfortunately, I don’t remember which vine this is.
