    Showtime Out Of Town

    By Andrea Menzies

    I had a great time seeing music concerts out of town this weekend. It is official music venues outside of Virginia have bounced back better after the pandemic. A guy even bought me free french fries so my weekend went extra well. The last few times I went out locally con-artists tried to rob me constantly so I am a travel fan now.

    By mistake I took a blue photo of myself and it ended up being cute.
    Buildings by the venue.
    Dark and scary show lights.
    Brooklyn Grilled Food nearby.
    Early Joan Jett tribute art.
    Local band stickers all around.

  • Tuesday Issue

    I graduated from Loyola University New Orleans and an issue with that is how massive my home sickness for the South is when the entire Internet shows me photos of how great was the Mardi Gras party I just missed. If I can’t get to my old apartment it is a reminder to get out to events more in the towns near me. That used to be my normal neighborhood, and I used to have that many guys to choose from for dating.

  • Travel Time

    Part of my family has been out of town in California for a family emergency. I am going on an airport journey today for pickup and drive-back.

  • Valentine’s Day Alone

    By Andrea Menzies
    Another Valentine’s Day alone in Virginia with no boyfriend or husband at all, and I hate being alone. I have a completed University degree from Loyola University New Orleans, but online dating apps and clubs have only introduced me to really abusive, mean, retarded, and dumb dates in Virginia. The worst I have seen with my eyeballs. Time for road trips.

    Pizza is the truth of the day.

  • Airport Travel

    By Andrea Menzies
    My family has a California funeral to go to this week. I was at the airport today. Thankfully it is not in the storm area, and the flight is not delayed.

  • Open Road

    By Andrea Menzies
    Abusive cousin Zathyn screamed “Schizoid Girl Andrea” at me for 60 minutes this week. I have never had a schizophrenia diagnosis I had PTSD therapy years ago. (After I was raped in the military.) This is why I have been sensitive about my past lately it is because my cousin has been insulting me while yelling imagined problems all week. In addition he has been using my vehicle so much I can’t use it for work. My mother insists I share computers, food, and transportation with this family relative. The situation is getting worse daily. It is a vicious cycle because it is hard to save up money for a replacement car to drive on the open road if he is demanding car time the same hours I work. He describes me loudly on the phone as unemployed, only donating plasma, but I work as a teacher. He says he is better than me, but is using my family car to work. If he is doing so great he should get his own nice car, computer, and house by himself maybe? My Facebook got hacked right when he used my computer to watch “work videos” suspiciously. I see him as we share a vehicle. I live in an area with no bus service. Uber and Lyft are flaky and expensive. The roads have no bike lanes. It is hard to even try to bike to work in freezing ice during winter. Transportation problems become work issues really fast.
