dearest journal,
i've been neglecting you for some time now. i realize that we haven't spent as much time together as i said we would, but what can i say, myspace is an easy whore, and requires little to no thought to deal with her, whereas you, are difficult, ugly, and full of shit a majority of the time. why don't we put all this behind us and just get to the "blogging", shall we?
a few big things have happend since the last time i posted on here, and seeing as the last thing i wrote about was How To Eat Fried Worms, i think i need to write about something with some value. i've decided that i need to leave new jersey. i've spent 2 years there, and the only thing that i actually enjoy is my job, but seeing as i can do that job wherever i want for the most part, there's no reason for me to live in a place that offeres nothing, and costs more than it's worth to live there. i applied to Hasbro about a month ago, but haven't heard back from them, so i'm pretty sure that's a dead end at this point. they were posting their position at RIT anyway, so they weren't exactly looking to hire someone who has real experience anyway, but it would have been cool to be back in new england. my other main choice would be to transfer to the lancaster PCA plant, but that won't happen for at least a year since they don't have any openings at the moment. if corporate lets them expand, i would need to wait until they finish construction of the new building before i'd be able to transfer anyway. so as of right now, unless some amazing offer comes along, it looks like i'm stuck in jersey for the time being. due to my distaste for the state in which i reside, i have been coming home just about every weekend for the last 3 or 4 months. part of the reason why i want to transfer to lancaster is because i really do miss being able to hang out with all of my friends around here.
i have a girlfriend now. i met emily about 5 weeks ago when i was home one weekend. before, i was coming home every weekend for lack of anything to do in jersey. now i'm coming home every weekend because there's nothing else i would rather be doing than spending time with her. we need to work on her coming out to visit me a few times so we can head up to brooklyn, and down to philly. as much as i like coming home, it'd be nice to have her come out there so we can do some city stuff.
just a minor footnote, i was punched in the side of the head last night because i decided to try and break up a fight. i'm ok, no bruse or anything, it's just sore. i did call the cops on the fuckers after one of them hit me though, because i figure, if you're gonna start hitting people that are trying to stop your dumb ass from getting into a stupid fight over the drunk slut in the parking lot, than you deserve to have your ass handed to you by the cops.
ok, journal, now i'm going to abandon you again for a while and only use you to read my friends entries... and you're gonna like it.
love and kisses,
Zaphod
