My run in with NOPD
At 9:30 p.m. on Sunday I left home for gas and cigarettes. (I really shouldn't be smoking, either but that is totally beside the point). At a red light I notice the cops stopped beside me--staring.
When the light turns green they get behind me and pull me over, so I'm thinking "oh I probably have a brake light out or something." This tatted up lady cop proceeds to tell me that I "ran a few stop signs." Which I absolutely did not. There weren't even a "few" stop signs between my house and where they pulled me over. Then she said I looked suspicious and asked if I had any weapons in the car and then ran my id.
Meanwhile man cop starts banging on my passenger side door, at which point I start to cry because I'm scared (they are notorious for being serious douche bags). So I unlock the door and say "Officer, would you like me to exit the vehicle?" He says no and sits down INSIDE MY CAR and starts asking me questions. 10 minutes later they let me go - not that they had anything they could possibly charge me with anyway.
I'm just wondering how the hell did I look suspicious? Suspiciously adorable maybe...

Updates from the Murder Capital
Today I named a new neighborhood in New Orleans.
It's the corner of Simon Boliver and Martin Luther King Boulevard and it's called "HoverRound Central."
For some reason, everyone in the city who owns a HoverRound hangs out in this area - and most are not old like in the commercial. I'm not sure if it is a club or what but all of the HoverRound owners seem to know each other.

Thinking of bedazzling my face a little
This is the first job that I do not deal directly with the public. I'm relatively behind the scenes at a New Orleans non-profit and therefore think it's time to do something that other jobs have banned me from in the past: pierce my face! I know, I'm a little old for that now, but better old than never and at least I'm not doing something irreversible.
Anyway, yesterday I asked my boss if it was okay and if there was any "least offensive" piercing she preferred. She told me I could do whatever I want but to think about how I will be perceived by others who may be involved in my future career. I thought about that for a while and sort of decided against it. Then I changed my mind. Then I changed it back. This answer was SO much more effective than saying "no" like previous employers. She's good.
Last night I bedazzled my face with sticky jewels to see what (if anything) would even look good. Here are the results:
