Hiatus break (again)
Back, from another long hiatus. My lease is up at the end of March, and I have to decide where I'm going to live after that. With my family, regardless of how that might turn out, or what? I haven't taken my GRE yet, nor gotten my grad school applications in, so I don't even know what graduate school I'm going to. Still, I'm hoping to get in ( Read more... ) -
Books and Accidents
I just reached the Red Wedding scene in the third Song of Ice and Fire book. Suffice to say, I'm going to take a couple day break from the book for a while. It's frustrating to read the books and get so invested in the characters, only to see the ones I like die. Horrifically. Not a condemnation on George R.R. Martin at all, but seriously -- will ( Read more... ) -
Times Informational Interview Recap
So I went in today to see the supervisor for the clerks at the Times. First of all, that building has the most confusing elevators for no reason; elevators should just go up and down, that's all. Not any of this, computers tell you which elevator after compiling information about what elevators everyone else wants to take. And what if mid-way, I ( Read more... ) -
It's Sunday, And Not Raining
Been ages (again), but I'm writing this while catching up on Doctor Who. A lot has changed these past few months. I moved from my parents' big home into a small apartment with no furniture and a lot of beer. (It didn't come that way, but it certainly feels that way.)
Also, I have a MacBook Pro. Doesn't seem like a huge change in my life, but my ( Read more... ) -
First entry of 2011.
Been interning at a litigation firm these days. Really good experience, too. They make their human slaves do a lot of writing and reading, and occasionally we get to attend depositions and mediations with them. A couple weeks ago, I saw my first deposition and tomorrow I get to go to my first mediation. Might not be much, but it's more than I had ( Read more... ) -
Another angsty post. (You've been warned!)
There's all sorts of banshee screaming about what the piece of shit I am, and how I do not deserve any friends, because only someone truly selfish would call a friend to go out and grab a slice of pizza when she's upset. They've decided to tell me about how all my friends secretly hate me, and I'll probably be dumped sooner or later because my ( Read more... ) -
I got a (conditional) job.
So, I am conditionally hired as a Server at Ruth's Chris Steak House. Apparently after the paid training time is over, they're going to evaluate whether or not they actually want to hire me; which is kind of nerve-racking. Especially because I'm faking any restaurant experience whatsoever, and this is a really upscale place. -.-
Yesterday was my ( Read more... ) -
Panic Attack Incoming....
We're going to temple tonight. I don't anticipate that I'll see too many people that I grew up with, but everyone will want to know what my parents' oldest daughter is doing with herself lately. Which reminds me of Thanksgiving, which is FULL of people I really don't want to see. People who would (not) joke about me failing out of school, about ( Read more... ) -
Phone Disaster
My Blackberry Tour broke today. -.- So, in the Verizon store, after much deliberation, I've decided that while I love my Blackberry, I was going to go a different smartphone option: The Motorola Droid 2.
I hated it for the about the first hour, because I couldn't type well on it or figure out how it worked, and had made plans to take it back to the ( Read more... ) -
Ewan-McGregor Look-alike.
I just met a guy that looks like a 20 year-old version of Ewan McGregor, is straight, and is doing NaNoWriMo. AND his name is Jean-Marco.
I kind of want him to be my best friend. Is that bad?
