Conversations with a Niece Pt. I

Her: Hi Uncle!
Me: Dude! You got tall... I can fart in your face standing up.
Her: *while holding her nose* Ewwwww....
Me: Well I didn't say I was gonna do it now.
Her: *stares*
Me: Can you reach up this high? *up to my chest*
Awesome! Hi-five! Do you remember my name?
Her: *intense thinking* Yes... Uncle Reggie.
Me: Good job! Wanna know something?
Her: What?
Me: I forgot your name.
Her: Boo!
Me: It's cool though, you get a monster hug.
*big ol' hug complete with growling noises*
Her: *the sweet laughter of a child that has no expectations of me*
Me: Wait a second... Is that your boyfriend? He's giving me dirty looks.
Her: Ewww! No! Boys are gross!
Me: Well you keep thinking that way for at least another decade. Your parents will appreciate it.
Her: Huh?
Me: Well, I gotta talk to your mommy an' figure out what your name is now.

Techinically, she's not my niece.
Just my friend's daughter.
She's disgustingly adorable so I adopted the ish out of her.

Is there a point to this post?
Reggie works well with toddlers.
They don't make him feel self-conscious about his writings.

Just checking in to let everyone know I'm still alive.

Foreclosure, such a fun mess.
Also wrapped up hosting a karaoke competition, sung at a bunch of weddings, debuted a few new spoken word pieces in Costa Mesa, wrote a couple new songs, dealing w/ general unemployment, an' starting to date again.

My past month in a nutshell.

Man.
Has it really been a year since I got laid off?
I figure the main reason I started dating again is because I got tired of bein' stressed out by a year of job interviews that lead nowhere and lack of steady income.

At least I can take solace in the fact that Alanis Morrissette's "Ironic" is ironic because none of the examples used in the song are ironic.
That was my life-changing moment of the day.

Things to finish editing an' eventually post:
- Do's & Dont's of dating me
- Two spoken word pieces
- One new song
- Friend's dating profile
- Fillers
