( Kitten Time! )

I actually have to go to bed. Like, now. Tomorrow, I have to get up with Brian to drive him to work, so that I can have the car. I need the car so that I can go to this interview with the Children's Museum about an internship in their Early Childhood Development program. It's unpaid, but! I hope that it will help lead me to another job opportunity ( Read more... )

You know what the biggest problem is when I go Job Hunting? The fact that I become horrifically aware of how many people look exactly like me on paper. Trying to make myself look DIFFERENT enough is practically a futile endeavor from the beginning because on paper, I really AM the same as them. I have a degree in a very open category field, and ( Read more... )

Okay, off I go into the great unknown (okay, the now very well-known and well-traveled) toward Nike. It's really getting to be routine for me now, which is kinda crap because soon I may have to completely change how I do this walking-to-get-fit thing. I've been pushing myself to put in three hours, not just two, but if I get a job, that'll cut down ( Read more... )

Maybe it's just a mood I get into sometimes, but I go through periods where I take pictures of myself. Part of it is that unlike in real life, there is a way to make yourself appear prettier than you are through photography. There are angles, lighting, and such that all can add to your physical attractiveness to make you gain Plus Pretty Points. ( Read more... )

It's another day in the Northwest. I can't stress enough how much I like living up here. Just yesterday one of my (many) brothers Shae suggested that the military wants translators, and I could live in Monterey, CA and work for them with just my B.A. in English. I was suddenly horrified. Move AWAY from Portland?! From all this beautiful green and ( Read more... )

Well, today I'm feeling mostly all better. I have a weird sniffle feeling in my nose, but I can ignore that. I also think that my throat is probably all better...well, okay, better enough that if I limit how much talking I do today, I'll be fine ( Read more... )

Ah...life is so strange when you're by yourself again, but you don't have anything to do, or any people to see. It's like I'm finally on vacation, in a weird way. But, it's not exactly a fun vacation. I'm struggling every day to find things to do, things that can count as productive ( Read more... )

All right. Yesterday was a Good Day. It may come to be Brian's Official Good Day. This time last year, he asked the Girl Of His Dreams if she'd go out with him, and she said, "Sure." And this year, he asked Nike if they'd hire him, and they said, "Sure." He is now gainfully employed by Nike as a Material Researcher and Tester. It's not a GREAT ( Read more... )
