I feel so calm right now.
Today is my first day off in what feels like weeks, and I'm SO happy about it! I haven't really really been doing much of either over the past little while, but I've had one or the other every single day. It's been pretty intense! I'm so happy it's sunny and warm enough outside to not need a jacket right now, too.
Oh yeah! I finished school! I got my bartending liscence! It was so much hard work and memorization (I had to essentially cut out weed while I was doing it, because being permafried is not helpful when you're trying to cram), but iiiiii didddddd itttttt! I got 96% on my Serving it Right exam, and I'm pretty darn proud of myself. I finished with 83% on the written, and unfortunately almost totally bombed my practical? How do you do this?! You know how whenever you have a test on a subject which covers a whole bunch of different aspects/categories/whatever (so there's a whole bunch of different potential questions), it always ends up focusing on the one area you don't know/are unsure of? Yaaaaaa that happened. Goddamn "Harvey Wall Banger" had been kicking my ass since day one. Couldn't memorize it for the life of me (fuckin' Tall Rocks glass, Built, 1/2 oz Galliano, 1/2 oz Vodka, orange juice and a flag). And then the "Manhattan" because we learnt it on the second to last day and I've never had one before so I wasn't familliar with it. I tried to memorize it (Man = rye, because whiskey was historically mostly drunk by males, but it still didn't work). (Martiti glass, Stir or Shake, 2 oz of Rye, dash Sweet Vermouth, dash Bitters, Cherry garnish)
Ugh. So frustrating to put so much effort and work and time into something, and then fuck it up at the last minute. My teacher totally knew that he'd screwed me over though, and commented afterwards about how he knew I was a better bartender than that. I ended up getting 11/16. 10/16 was the lowest you could get and still pass. Boo.
BUT I'M CERTIFIED NOW MAWFUCKASSSSSS.
Now to get a job.
In other recent events - boys are funny. I got hit on (I...guess?) by two very different, equally curly haired boys at Zeds Dead the other day. So wierd. Such a wierd funny time.
ZD was AMAAAAAAZING, too. I had so much fun. Coming home from shows dripping in sweat and with what feels like broken legs is always a good time (every so often. not all the time) (I'm also being completely serious right now. I love it). Working at 10 the next morning, however, was not. BUT one of the DJ's was in the Kids Market that day! However, he was kind of an asshole and didn't really seem to care that I was telling him he absolutely killed it the night before. Like, how many people would actually recognize a DJ? NOT MANY. fuck you, man. I was so starstruck and stoked for that short while.
I don't really know what I'm talking about anymore. I shouldn't attempt to update when I'm stoned. I hope this thing makes sense?
Portuguese stars on the 28th. I'm very excited. Trilingual tiiiiiiime!
