random observations and comments.

please humor my list.

1. have you ever noticed that the double tree hotel sign is actually a lesbian symbol?
2. if i were male, i would be entitled to $18 an hour minimum as a copywriter
3. because i'm not male and because the corporate world is still sexist, i'm made to feel that i somehow am not worthy of this standard hourly wage and that i'm perhaps greedy and selfish. (a man in my position would never be accused of such)
4. as a woman, you are not expected to be at the top of a company
5. i decided i'm not going to meet anyone by sitting at home on saturday nights, so i went to a dance party alone for the first time ever, which was hard and intimidating all at once. i left after 20 minutes. but i did it. i survived that fear.
6. gadjo disko is an eastern europe dance party that happens at a gay club. dark, hazy, techno music, gypsy dresses, costumes, exotic dancers, many people.
