Posting from an undisclosed location ...
Because of an underwhelming clamour from my fans -- and a few idle threats to remove me from friend's lists -- here is a post to appease the masses. I'll start with the ever popular phone call from work:
Caller: "I need housing, I'm on [another low income program] but my landlord and I got into it and I shot him. I think I might lose my voucher. Can I get on your program?"
You think you might lose your voucher? I don't see why ...
Politics:
What an interesting campaign season -- not really season, I guess, more like year. I keep looking at Kerry and wishing he was Clinton -- but I'd vote Monica's kitten into office before I even thought about Bush. I think I'm a pretty politically aware person and I'm upset that I haven't been involved in anything when the race in Ohio is so close and so important.
I'd give my right arm to keep Bush out of office. I can't figure out what exactly I hate about him so much, there's lots there to work with, but it was an instant kind of hatred. It's like he's pure evil poured into human form, everything about him just makes me recoil in disgust. And why WHY do some many people revere him like he's the second coming??? I have no doubt that with a stronger candidate a Democrat could easily oust him -- I just don't know if Kerry is that candidate. He certainly has potential but I don't know if he can pull it together enough before the election. I'm voting on the "Anybody but Bush" ticket.
School:
I didn't post much this summer. I took one really great class and one really awful one. I'm taking some more classes now, one is pretty engaging, one is throughly confusing and the other is a blow-off. I'm starting to panic about my future, finding a job, finding an internship, figuring out where I want to practice, when I need to quit work. I was really, really stressed about it until yesterday when I talked to some people at school. I guess I can put off my worrying for a couple more months.
Other:
Monica and I saw Janet Ahmid -- for those of you who don't know she's an astrologer. I don't think I really believed too much of this kind of stuff before I had a reading with her last fall, but she's really good. She can tell about stuff that's happened in the past and be very accurate on the dates. Based on what she told me Saturday, I figure I will be leaving work this coming Summer, and have about two years after that of struggling to survive. It'll be hard to be poor again, I know it will be temporary until I finish school and pass the bar but it makes me want to cry becuase I know what I'm looking forward to. I can't go back to those shitty, barely over minimum wage, service industry jobs. I don't know what I'll do to supplement the clerking job I don't have yet.
Monsie and I are going to NYC in October, the weekend before my birthday. I can't believe I'm turning 25. It sounds too old for me -- but I'm getting a discount on my car insurance in October so life's not all bad.
I hope this satisfies those of you who have threatened, cajoled, and badgered me into posting -- I better get put back on your list!
