I first heard this song on an episode of The Shield, and listening to it again today really jerked the tears for some reason, even though the subject matter has exactly zero relevance in my life at the moment.

I do believe I'm becoming a tremendous sap.

(I'm fully aware that reading song lyrics, especially for a song you've never heard before, is ( Read more... )

Behold: irrefutable evidence that the universe is finally complete.

My feet caressed the ITG dance pads of Mic Mac Mall for the first time in months on Saturday... remember back a few years ago when we could all play ourselves into cardiac arrest and somehow not feel an ounce of pain or fatigue? Man, I miss those days. Here's hoping that the arcade stays open for a few more months so I can continue to waste my hard ( Read more... )

Hello Internet. Remember me?

In a way, it's kinda silly that I've let my LJ go this quiet for this long. Months ago, I assessed the situation and realized that all I ever write about anymore is how crappy the job situation is. I can't speak for the rest of my audience, but I know I was boring myself  to death...

Anyway, stuff is finally starting to ( Read more... )

All right, folks, here's  the scoop: Liz is feeling kinda down tonight, so I've compiled a bunch of random (some may even goes as far to say zany) internet photos to perhaps bring a smile to her face. As a nifty little bonus, it gives me an excuse to post in this woefully neglected LJ about something that doesn't completely embody how much of an ( Read more... )

Yep, it's true... for the last *mumble* weeks, I pretty well abandoned the internet. No MSN, no LJ posts. Nada. I've become a horribly unsocialized person with a vacant stare and a habit of muttering death threats under my breath in public places. I suppose it's time to return to my old haven, where I can yammer on all day about taxation of egg ( Read more... )

This is an LJ exercise that's halfway original...I'm intrigued, and already wracking my brain for answers to the people I think are gonna reply to this. Anyways, enjoy!

Comment, and I will comment back with a picture of the fictional character that most reminds me of you. Then post the same in your journal.

I got the word today that Friday will be my last day with HRM Design and Construction Services.

...I know, I know, I've been let go from this position, like, a thousand times only to be brought back for another term, but this time really seems to be the coupe de grace. Christine, the "environmental Illness victim" is no longer a factor in the ( Read more... )

On Friday, I had my very first HRM job interview, which isn't so much like talking to somebody as it is an oral exam. Broad, bullshittable question such as "I see you've spent most of your life as Third Assistant Fish Fryer at the Sizzler, how was that?" are replaced with queries to the tune of "Please give me an example of when you had to use ( Read more... )

Since I was 17 years old, I've been meaning to give blood. I've tried a couple of times, but due to uncertainties with my recent history at the time, they've turned me away and told me to come back after X number of months, just to be safe.

With so much going on in the months since I arrived home from Ireland, donating had gone on the back burner ( Read more... )
