I still have to write a nice post about last night.  It's on the way, I 
just need to tell you about my crappy night first.  Bubba will verify.
The night started out SLOW.  Very slow.  About nine o'clock I went on a 
break, headed over to my favorite neighborhood bar.  Had fun watching 
this Mexican beauty pagaent (or was a plastic surgery show?)  with some 
of the people who worked at the bar.  Slow night for them too.  Got into 
a good mood.  Time to go back to work, see if I can actually make some 
money to pay for all the presents I bought people today.

One of the first guys I ask says yes.  He looks like Jabba the Hut and is 
wearing a pocket protector.  What the hell, I'm in a good mood.  Just 
talked to Tiki about going to a swinger party and I'm feeling pretty 
happy.  Dickhead hands me a five.  I ask if he has another, tell him 
people usually give me a couple of fives.  He mumbles something.  I don't 
speak dickhead so I ask him to repeat himself.  He mumbles at me again.  
I tell him he is mumbling and he says, "give me that five back and I'll 
give you a ten.  Stupid me, I'm in a good mood and give it back.  He then 
tells me to leave.  I grab him by the shirt and get ready to punch him.  
Exercising INCREDIBLE self control, I refrain and tell him I'd hit him if 
my manager wasn't around.  What does asshole say?  "Go ahead, baby."  I 
really hate it when people call me baby.  So what the fuck am I supposed 
to do?  Any advice?   What would you have done?  I left and told Bubba my 
dilemma.  He is such a sweetheart and a damn good ear.  I decide this 
asshole needs to be kicked out.

I find the manager and tell him this guy was a real asshole, rude to me, 
tried to grab me, etc...  Manager goes and talks to Jabba, comes back and 
asks if I grabbed the guys shirt.  I lie, manager says he going to ask 
witnesses.  I go upstairs, kick my locker door a few times, break my 
boot, refrain from beating my head against the door.  Fuck this asshole 
for getting to me like that.  I sit upstairs and freak out some more, I 
think I'm having a nervous breakdown.  I have to dance.  Great, my boot 
is broken.  Fuck it, I'll dance barefoot.  

Nick Cave, angst and anger.  The assholes by the side of the stage don't 
tip.  They're young.  Fuck 'em, I'll dance for Bubba since he's the only 
person in here who's worthy of my attention anyway.  Nine Inch Nails.  
Fuck you , fuck you, fuck you.  I'd like to gouge your eyeball out with 
the heel of my broken boot, Fatty Jabba Prick.  Take the nails that are 
sticking out of my boot and slide them under your fingernails.  Take off 
my belt, wrap it around your throat and watch your oozing eyeballs pop 
out of your wormy little face.

Nick Cave- The Carny.  My favorite.  Freaks.  Hooch dancers always used 
to bill with freaks.  See what you don't see at home.  Rejects with 
elitist attitudes, that's what we are.  I'm a self-made freak, an 
outcast.  I'm a cynic.  I hate the human race.  I hate the pinks and the 
normals.  The sheep.  What we need is a good slaughtering.  Give me the 
knife, I know the perfect place to start.

After about an hour I calm down enough to fake a smile and go back 
downstairs.  The first guy I talk to wants to take me up to the playpen.  
Wonderful.  As soon as we get in there he tells me he'll give me a 
hundred dollars to take him home  and fuck him.  Boy, a whole hundred 
dollars.  This sounds familiar.  I tell him I won't even tell him what 
district I live in for a hundred dollars.  He says three hundred.  I tell 
him he's insane.  I ask if they let him out for the weekend.  He says he 
likes to go in and out.  Yeah, in and out, in and out.  Of the asylum, I 
say.  What's the matter?, he asks.  Don't I like black dick?  I tell him 
it has nothing to do with ihis skin color, I just don't like dicks.  Or 
assholes.  He gives me more money and tries to grab my tit.  I tell him 
his time has run out.  He goes with me to the room guy to buy another 
ticket.  A condom falls out of his pocket.  It's crumpled so I ask if 
he's had it since high school.  He tells me to pick it up.   I tell him 
to pick it up himself.  He does and leaves.  Good.

I go back down and the first guy I ask tells me how much he liked my 
set.   Real wild, he says.  I thank him and ask if he wants a lap dance.  
He says no.  Asshole.  I ask if he's going to tip me for my stage show 
since he didn't come up to the stage.  He looks really reluctant and 
finally asks if I have a ten.  I say no but I can get change.  He tells 
me to forget it.  Fuck.

I go talk to Bubba.  Some jerk behind us is leaning forward.  I think 
this asshole is eavesdropping.  I ask him if he's trying to listen to my 
conversation.  No, he says, and this little snot nosed punk starts to 
lecture me on my bad attitude.  I tell him to fuck off.  What a fucking 
waste of my time.  I see Tiki and talk to her for a bit.  I leave and 
Punky Brewster tries to grab my arm to tell me something.  I shake him 
off like a flea and go upstairs.

Some guy atthe top of the stairs is asking for Kat.  He tells me he's 
read me on the group.  Do you want a lap dance?, I ask.  Well, maybe 
later, he says.  It's fucking 1:45.  What the FUCK is he talking 
about?!?!?  Just say no!!  Fuck, be a fucking man.  That's nice, you read 
my posts but you don't want to spend any money on me.  Get lost.  Even 
though I've become friends with some of the guys on this group, I don't 
go to work to make friends!!!!!!!   Can people get this into their 
goddamn heads?!!?  Compliments don't pay my rent.  Jesus, if all I wanted 
was compliments I could go hang out in a bar.  Or the street corner, for 
that matter.  Will this night of rudeness never end?

Guess not.  I get home and my neighbor has parked his truck in the garage 
behind his wife's car.  I can't get my motorcycle into my spot.  All I 
can do is park my bike behind his truck since his truck is blocking 
access to THE ENTIRE GARAGE!!  Since I'm not so rude as to block my 
neighbors' cars in or out of the garage I park my bike and leave my lock 
on my seat.  I hope the jerk moves it into my spot and locks it before I 
wake up in the morning.  Fuck this, I'm going to take a bottle of Valium 
and go to sleep.
