Pictures from my life #7

The last four days have been quite exciting. To start things off, Conni and his girlfriend, J. (sorry, bud, but I can't use your nickname for her, because it might seem a bit raunchy for English readers) stopped by for a visit this past weekend. I'm now the proud owner of my very own giant fox tail. I hung it on some Mardi Gras beads that Pickles sent me a few years back.

I gotta also say that J. gets a thumbs up in my book. Very cool chick. The three of us did the obligatory Reeperbahn/Red-light district round. At some point, we found ourselves in a sex shop and played a game where we took turns reading the plot descriptions on the back of porn DVDs. Whoever broke out into hysterical laughter first, lost the round. Rule of thumb: any grandmotherly-type titles = pure comedy. Had I not found the complimentary give-away condoms in my coat pocket the next day, I would have forgotten about this highly entertaining game. Admittedly, I'm somewhat perplexed by the name. Why are they called "Day & Night"? Last I checked, *all* condoms are suitable for daytime/nighttime usage. The 24/7 part seems unnecessary as well. Whenever I look at them, I feel like I've missed some kind of important condom memo.

In other news, as of next Monday, I will no longer be unemployed. That's right, I found a new job. Just in time, too. I really didn't want to still be unemployed for my birthday this year. It's the last year of my 20s and that would have just been too depressing. I'm also psyched that the company/position was my top choice, rather than one of my backup choices (e.g. temping or going the freelance route). It's nice to know that perseverance pays off.

Lastly, I'm gearing up for a whole freakin month of quality time with the Frostinator. Yeah, I just called him that. So what?

There are a number of things that could still come up and spoil the coming month/s, but I'm not going to dwell on that crap. Right now, I'm going to just soak up this good stuff.

So, yeah....yea for me!
