hell no! i said 'hell no'. who says 'hell no' in an interview? how does any sane person say 'hell no' when being formally interviewed? i don't even cuss! last impressions can do just as much damage as firsts. 'hell no'? all i was doing was asking what my chances were to get in the program. needless to say, i think my chances were better before ( Read more... )

I’m proud of my death glare. Combined with a rather frosty silent treatment, it seemed to do just the trick to fix my computer. I understand this might sound a bit far fetched to some. But honestly, that’s all I did. One day it was acting possessed (once again), and the next it was pretending nothing had happened ( Read more... )

I have a one credit choir course. But I can’t sing, or even read music. I asked my instructor what I could do and he suggested reading a beginner’s piano book. I interpreted this as ‘learn piano asap’, only to find he meant to study the beats, rests, and such. So I practiced 3 hours of piano trying to understand music, instead of finishing my ( Read more... )

i’m self-destructive when i’m upset. and today i’m upset. so here i am writing to no one in particular instead of doing my homework and eating a pint of ice cream. no, this is not an ‘oh, think of the calories’ self-destructive, although oh… think of the calories. this is an ‘i’m lactose intolerant and i’m going to be kept awake all night with ( Read more... )
