||got a ticket for the soul train||
so I think I've been bitten by the soul bug. I've always loved soul music in general, but never knew any good artists/bands to check out, only listening to a couple of people that friends have shown me. well now I am on the hunt for soul and I quite enjoy it. stay tuned for more.
in other news, I've been job hunting up a storm. the mall was my primary scouting place today, and though it yielded little in the way of leads, it made me feel a little better. everyone was so much friendlier than people I talked to in BG. it's probably just coincidence though, as all the cool people I know were once from this town and Miranda herself works at the Starbucks. (speaking of which, I'm trying not to hold my breath for a barista job there but it's looking good from what Mirnada tells me.) other major prospects include Payless Shoes, Old Navy, and Sushi Hana. my god would I love to work at a sushi place. it would be like a dream come true. I'll settle for what I can get though. I wanted to work at a small business if at all possible, but with the job market / recession as it is, most of these places can't afford to hire anyone else right now. so I'm going to swallow what little standards I have for the sake of a paycheck. nothing to be ashamed of.
my family bought Eric's old car too. it's a nice drive, though (and maybe I shouldn't be saying this but oh well) it does smell a bit badly of Eric's BO. don't tell him I said that though: it sounds so mean. still, I'm going to have to do something to get his many long years inside the vehicle out... and the little tree air fresheners might not be enough.
not much else to say other than a small piece of advice: if you're feeling crappy and worthless, I find it's always a big help to just get out of your house/apartment for a few hours and feel the wind/sun/rain. I always end up feeling rejuvenated in body and mind.
