You know, I talked to the Dirty Boy at length a while ago.
Wherein he learned that other than a brief trip to Mexico as a toddler, I have never left the States.
And that I do not have a passport.
He travels around the world. A lot.
He works and saves money, travels a bunch, then works to make more money and travel again.
He isn't worried about security or responsibility.
I wish I was so brave.
I could probably be making more money where I work just as a stylist -- all the clients I have shuffled over to the new stylists I could have instead cultivated as clientele for myself, and probably have the same benefits and none of the responsibility. But, I'm afraid to lose the instant security that guaranteed salary and benefits offer. I also like making the schedule, and don't want someone else dictating to me when I can and can't take time off or do things I want to do.
Oh, and the swag. I love free things, and I wouldn't necessarily end up with all the loot I get if I weren't in charge. Is it worth the price of freedom? Probably not. But I'll never have to purchase shampoo again.
Maybe I should just take some time off that I want to take off, and go somewhere that isn't here.

The dirty, dirty boy is the boy that I met at the Star Trek Con.
The hottie in the suit in the pix.
Why, let's see... I believed I talked about several males in the update entry, where I also referred to one as a dirty, dirty boy. You know, in the paragraph immediately following the one where I said I had posted pictures.
Maybe there are pictures of him there!
Consider this a treasure hunt of sorts.
