she talks about it ~ February 24, 2002 - 11:31 p.m. we just got back from a barbeque with some friends-- a good bunch of people, I always have fun when we hang out with them. we have a regular wednesday-night-dinner-thang going, tonight being something like a bonus night. we laugh a lot. I love people. I've been having a good day, feeling good about things in general. talked to my mom this afternoon, and it was pretty good. I'm finally moving in directions she can approve of. I'm feeling like I have the energy to Make Things Happen. whether or not this is just because I've started drinking coffee again, I don't know. but what the hell. our friend alan has a vision of running an espresso bar out of the back of his vehicle at festivals, and calling himself the "coffee makes shit happen" guy. whatever it is, it feels like shit is happening. there's also some kind of planetary conjunction right now, saturn I think, some kind of doing-stuff energy. I'm thinking about becoming a waitress again. funny, I haven't done it in years, but I've been thinking about it lately. in a lot of ways, I was a damn good waitress. and the davenport cash store is hiring, a place I wouldn't mind working. cause I wouldn't waitress just anywhere. and of course, it would be a meantime type thing. something to do until my real work came along. like The Thing for instance, if that pans out. I think I'm gonna have to tell y'all about it, if only so that you can put some energy out there to help make it happen for me. there's a collective forming in santa cruz, see. the Alarm! Newspaper collective. check 'em out. it sounds like exactly what I've been looking for. their vision is "to encourage the development of a fully-informed populace engaged in the deliberate creation of its collective social environment." and their mission is "to create a source for local, timely, engaged, accurate and impassioned investigative newsreporting while providing a livlihood and vehicle for the voices, skills and passions of the Alarm! Newspaper collective and its associates." how cool is that? a weekly alternative newspaper, collectively run and out of the hands of the corporations. alternative media is where its at in these increasingly frightening times. the voice of the people. this is something I could do. I could make a living doing something I feel really good about, and actively engaging with my community. and writing! I mean, hell fucking yeah. we'll see. I've been trying to put energy towards making it happen, at least getting an interview. will you put some energy into it for me? just close your eyes for a sec, take a deep breath, and send some positive make-shit-happen-for-Kelly energy in my direction. visualize if you want, light a candle, whatever works for you. yes, I'm serious. I live in santa cruz, after all. and you know I'd do the same for you. just drop a line in my guestbook, and I'll send you any kind of energy you need. in the meantime, wish me luck.
