How'd you like to be alone and drowning?

Dear Heathery,
Hey. What's happening? Yeah, not much here either, as you can see. It's pretty quiet sometimes being your LiveJournal. I know you've been checking me out everyday, as if anyone else has anything else to say about your one-man cold war against racism. People usually only respond if you have something fresh to say, but keep fighting the good fight anyway. Thanks for adding the XKCD feed, that makes me feel good too.

Anyway, I was hoping I could talk to you about something that affects the both of us. See, racism and republicans are always interesting, and so is your retarded boyfriend, but I feel that it would be in YOUR best interest to get some shit done with your life.

I know, working at the lab is pretty sweet. You enjoy breaking mice necks with your bare (well, gloved) hands? What about the lonliness, boredom, and lack of purpose that you often find yourself swept in over there, you're enjoying that as well? And really, how COULD myspace/facebook/livejournal/toothpastefordinner/yahoogames get boring? Yeah, sounds pretty sweet, from what you've told me.

Well, if you ever get tired of that business, let me offer some suggestions:
-GET A NEW JOB: Not like, move to another lab in the med school, either. Get a job in INDUSTRY. Who knows, you might get paid better. You might find new friends. You might even meet new boys, which we both know means you'll develop another circle of crushes, you sexy thing. And I know, you seem to be making a really concerted effort at applying--you applied for 4 jobs at Eli Lilly! But ohhh missy, if you're too lazy to actually write a cover letter for your 1 pg resume, they might not give it the serious consideration you were hoping for.

-GO TO GRAD SCHOOL: Or don't. I wouldn't recommend just going becuase you think its the next natural step, but keep in mind what you mother says, "You're young, you're single, and you don't have any babies." Yes. If you will ever go to Grad school, now is probably the best time to do it.

-FIGURE THIS CRAP OUT: Even the weird guy in your lab told you it's time to move on. Do it.

-DO IT SOOOOOOON: California schools won't take your application anymore. You happy?

What are you so afraid of, anyway? You don't want to leave abhik? You're not 100% sure what to do next? Who cares. Just jump in, but don't jump halfway in. That got you through undergrad, and unless you get pregnant soon (I know, here's to hoping), you're going to have to start giving life a push.

By the way, you're still the funniest, smartest, prettiest girl I know.

Let me know how it turns out.

Sincerely,
xgriffypopx
