Fruit Leathers and Chicken Babies
Monday, July 12, 2010 at 8:00AM The last thing I ate? A fruit leather. Lame, I know. And here I am now, workin' at a restaurant that serves burgers and rings and, like, seven types of beer, and I'm never gonna be able to have any of it. Kinda funny, isn't it? Don't get me wrong, I'm THRILLED to have a job (my first job, actually!) but the ironies of bein' a vampire seem never-endin'.
You know what's also never-endin'? First night here at Merlotte's. I like the job 'n all, but there isn't much goin' on. So far hostessing has been pretty easy. All I gotta do is walk people to an open table and wish 'em a good meal. But every time I walk by booth #4, I get this pit in my stomach. Like that fruit leather's still sittin' in there, but it's grown arms and legs and like, twelve times its original size, and it's gonna come crawlin' up my throat and pukin' outta my mouth at any moment. Not that vampires can puke, but still. Wait...can they? Anyway, booth #4 is where I met Hoyt. He said somethin' stupid about chicken babies and I was hooked. I guess maybe you have to know him. But my human life caught up with me tonight, and it put the whole Hoyt thing in perspective, I think. People move in and outta each others' lives all the time. Vampire or human, it's just a parta growin' up.

It`s good that you have a job and all, but have you tough that by working there you will see Hoyt more often...anyway...i`m happy you started going out of that creepy old house
I was host at a much bigger establishment. It's a good first job because you learn social and communication skills, problem solving.
I like to think that it's getting easier for you to think of Hoyt, not harder, and all that sickness is just you working yourself up. The next time you talk to Hoyt, remember you would have gotten a bit of distance from him, you've gotta more insightful with these blogs...
you're stronger than you know if you can work in a bar and deal with Arlene's glares. so don't be afraid of a confrontation with Hoyt.
Good to see you out and working, Jessica! Hopefully Bill, or Pam, will sit you down and explain the ins and outs of vampire unlife soon.
Of course, they're both a bit busy right now. Lollipops in Atlanta is always open for you and they always have my number! ;)
Hey jessica it is great you have something to occupy your time with. now the only thing is it will be very trying not to feed on some of the pure souls that may come in to the bar although no one there is pure. Don't let the hoyt situation get you down. but it is true as you have stated as soon as someone comes in to your life they dissappear. good luck

hey Jessica ! huge fan here, your my fav Vamp in Bon Temps hands down : ) and im really happy for you that you started working at Merlottes maybe you can meet a new boy and things could start to get better, or maybe you can start talking to Hoyt again, i know you have mixed feelings about him but he's a good guy and just wanted to make you happy. by the way good job on getting rid of that boy from your old Bible study group that was in Merlottes : ) your the hottest red headed vamp around !!
Jessica, I hope you have fun with your new job at Merlotte's Don't you let Arlene push you around either. It's good that you can get out of the house since Bill just up and left (the butthole).
You will definitely be seeing Hoyt there. Maybe you two can work it out? Oh, you seem to have gotten way better at glamoring. Brava!
Maybe you should test the whole 'vampires throwing up' thing.

Greetings from the other side of the World :)
You seem to adjust well to being a Vampire.
I hope you and Hoyt get to together again you are a sweet couple.
I'm proud of you that you got a job ! :) congrats !... Um I wish you could know how much Hoyt truly likes you... I think you do though... and you just don't want to cause any pain ... He was kinda eyeing you when you talked to the boy from church... got kinda jealous ... :-/ I hope your doing ok at Merlottes and everything... talk with you later pretty girl! <3 By the way I think you are an awesome vampire.. I believe your my favorite and I hope Bill or Pam helps out with letting you know more vampire things... expecially your right how you never can change in age... they should have ids for you guys since your vampires right? :/ hmm just a thought
