Pig Tail Kind of Day

There are some days when I choose to wear pig tails. Why is that? I think it is because working on such a customer base, it makes them really stop and look to see if there are really talking to someone with pig tails. My hair is getting long enough, it is nice. I braid my pig tails and I am good to go. Most people actually smile. I swear, when the days seem long and people seem more uninviting I put the pig tails on. So when I say "Hi! How are you?" They actually stop and think I am real! It's crazy. Yesterday I had one d-bag after another and they were rude and un-thankful. I literally held the door open for a man and he grabbed the door and held it for himself so he didn't have to say thank-you. These people who are on the phone and too busy to actually talk to the person who is in front of them taking their amex card and running it through. Wouldn't you want to make conversation with them. Or are you too busy making appointments for your next photo shoot and spa date. Don't get me wrong. I have participated in both myself, but I have always taken the time to talk to the person in front of me to make sure that they know I appreciate their hard work. Cuz without them I wouldn't be getting food, gas, clothes, toilet paper. Back to Pig Tails, anyways. I find that people really like them. It takes them back to a happier time. And how many grown women in the city do you see wearing pig tails?

Introduction

I've never had a blog before but I thought it would be fun. I am currently living in Los Angeles, in which I hope to be able to leave very soon. I have been out here for over 8 years now and I am ready to start a new chapter in my life. I want to be able to have a garden, some animals, and not all the traffic, noise, pollution and everything else that comes with the city.
I moved out here 8 years ago to get a degree in Fashion and Film and TV Costume Design. Well I got my degree but no job in the career that I have choosen. Do I want to work in that industry right now, no. I don't have the personality it takes to do it. I have tried and have done what I could, but it wasn't me and I just couldn't do it.
So here I am, working as a manager at a chain company. I'm dealing with the economic down fall the best that I possibly can. Glad I have a job, but don't like the stress I have to deal with. I feel my body almost fall apart some days. Some days I just wish I could just go outside and deal with bugs, weeds, dirt and feed the animals. I know it's not an easy lifestyle, but neither is what I am doing right now. I crave a change in life. I think that is the change I would like to have! I've been talking and dreaming about it for a while now.
But until I have a farm to go to, I am here in the city. Working on making my dream come true! All these details of a dream, tend to stand in the way, but I am willing to work those out. So I thought it would be fun to write down my journey. Plus I have had so much weird and crazy things happen to me that I thought it would be fun to actually document them.
Please excuss any spelling error and improper English usage. I am not an English Major, and I do have a problems with putting my thought to words!
Farm Girl Hugs!
