In desperate need some mrrp mrrp love..

topic posted Thu, October 27, 2005 - 11:03 AM by 
I need to come visit you girls and get my head straight, or twisted...

My life sucks and has sucked for the past 15 months.

I got laid off in 2004 and have been unable to find full-time work, seems like my industry with all the cut-backs and layoffs now typically handles my type of work as temp or contract work. So I have been picking up contract work and over the past 15 months have worked at 5 different gigs. These last at best 3 months. Last year from Jan until the end of April I could not even find part-time work and was FREAKING out about how to pay the mortgage, bills and take care of my daughter. This unstable situation has put me in an overall mind-set of fear, insecurity, and waiting..... waiting for the next job, waiting for the next interview. I'm interviewing like a mad rabbit and I know that once I do find a regular job, the world will be right again. The problem is the now habitual mindset of distrust, fear and insecurity.

Can you girls help, give a shout out, share your fabulousness and shine a shimmer of hope ...

I'm sure there are others out there in this situation, share your thoughts, hopes, fears, I'm feeling so alone.

Wish I had some fab mrrp mrrp girls in my neck of the woods. Life would be so much better if we just all had a little mrrp mrrp everyday.

Maybe, I can start a regional mrrp mrrp group..... do you have mrrp mrrp in a box? Advice on living in the right mrrp-set?

hugs,
Sarah

      Thank you baby,

      But, I have a great idea!!! Let's (you and I) study the bible of mrrp mrrp and start a regional mrrp mrrp chapter here in the bay area.

      It will never be as good as the org mrrp mrrp girls, but we sure spread the mrrp mrrp.....

        I've always thought of our cool ass mrrp mrrp chicks as the best friends you had from high school. Funny as shit, attitude up the wazzoo, completely fearless, totally active and fiercly fashionable (creating your own fabulous look is the great fun)!

        I also know there is something about talking with a lisp... ;)

        I'm IN to creating a local troop of Mrrpers! With our originators permission of course...

          Damn- you girls are so f'in cool. I appreciate all the praise you're giving.

          Damn Sarah- I'm sorry you're struggling with the bullshit of life. Why must we work for money?! Not sure I have much advice in the job arena- except that persistence is key- and when I've been in a similar situation, I had luck when I was really creative about the kinds of work I was looking for. Rethinking my skills and talking with lots of people about how those might fit in different industries.

          When I think about the essence of Mrrp, I think about strong women who aren't shy to be themselves, even when that self is dorky and silly. You fit right in there, girl. I imagine you're raising your daughter to be a Mrrp girl too! Autumn and I have talked about mentoring a girl scout troop at some point- cuz there's lots about being a grown woman that nobody taught us, ya know?
          One thing that I've learned from Autumn and Shannon is that it's really smart to open up and ask for help- I've always been really self-sufficient, handling my shit by myself. But my troubles are so much lighter when I let them share them with me....

          I've gotta get- keep reaching out dude....

            Erin, You are so right!!! Mrrpness is about being strong, but also knowing when to lean on your best mrrps.

            I have come to realize that when you set yourself up to be too independent, then you might end up surrounding yourself with people who tend to feed off you. Then, when your chips are down, they are too quick to run off to their next party, drum circle, pagen event and make excuses why not to give of themselves.

            So, time to ask for help, time to open and grow, time to surround yourself with people who build love, caring and kindness in their lives. I'll be ok, with a little love from mrrps minded folks.

            I love the girl scout idea, although you might have to choose another agency. The boo (mrrp in training) was in girl scouts and it was a totally brain-wash of Barbie-type politics. I had to stop myself from throwing up each time I had to attend a meeting... Thankfully, the Boo, already mrrp-i-fied, decided to quit and take up with the swim team.

            Mrrp Scouts...???? dig it!

              Hey Sarah,

              I'm sendin out a big Mrrp-Mrrp to ya from Bosnia! Hang in there and keep looking. Erin's (hey Baby! I miss you) right about changing things around and rethinking your skills. I was working at the jail before taking my current job! Actually my current job is better financially, but socially and creatively, it sucks. Lots of folks here are so consumed with their money, they're either bragging about how much they make or complaining about how much it will cost to fly home and see their family...it's sad.

              So anyway you hang in there! I'm hoping to make it back to another Mrrp/Burner/Solo/Portland/anywhere cool party where there's lots of drinking, partying and very little sleep, clothes, etc...
