Actual Events That Make Me Die a Little Inside: Part 1

Friend: Yeah, I went to whatever show at whatever venue at some date in the past.

Internal-AssOfMyself-Preventer: Oh yeah, I think I saw a picture of that. But I shouldn't have necessarily seen it. Don't mention the picture. Don't mention the picture. Don't mention the picture.

Me: Wait, isn't there a picture or something of you [at the show]...?

I-A-P: I hate you.

10 Hours of My Life, Gone

Yeah, I've definitely spent the last 10 hours on my computer. Isn't my life sad? In my defense, I've been working on various projects, but everytime I get up, I wonder why my ass hurts, and I think sitting on the couch since around 3pm yesterday may be the cause.

I've been compiling a list of CDs for a little "project" I'm working on with the help of friends, haha. After about 3 hours of that, I started going through my music collection with my mom to find out what she wants to put on her iPod (which she still isn't entirely comfortable with using yet). After about 2 hours of that, I started searching for this comic I remember seeing a few years ago. I know it had something to do with Pearl Jam and how hard it is to understand what he's saying in the song "Evenflow," but I cannot, for the life of me, find it anywhere! And it is driving me mad! (And now I realize that this last part wasn't so much a "project" as a pathetic excuse for a Friday night.)

And now, after giving up, I've realized that I've spent the last 5 hours looking for that damn fucking comic. 5 hours. I'm not sure you read that correctly.... I said 5, as in one-two-three-four-five fucking hours. Jesus, I didn't even realize until I started writing this paragraph. My God, I need a life.

On the upside, it gave me something to write about, so that's cool I guess.

I'm going to try my hand at keeping this blog semi-regular. Maybe someone will be interested in reading the thoughts of an extremely imaginative, unemployed twenty-something preparing for her last year of college. You never know who may be reading, I guess...

Long Overdue

Wow, I haven't blogged in a long time. Since like the very very beginning of the year. I've written a few drafts, but I never published them on here. I've really wanted to write something, but I kind of got away from the whole blog thing. But I'd like to start again. So here goes:

I have decided that I must be terminally unemployable. Either that or I'm terminally lazy. I've applied to a few places, but none of them have every offered me positions, and when I mean to go out and apply to new places, I have panic attacks outside of the establishments. I went to find out about jobs at the library today, and I couldn't pull into the parking lot. I had to double back and go in like 20 mins later. I don't know what's wrong with me. Something, though.

But so because I don't have a job, I don't have any income, which is very sad for my bank account. And for my shopping addiction. I've only bought 4 CDs, 3 shirts, 0 pairs of shoes, and 0 purses. That's amazing for me! Unfortunately I have buyer's remorse about two of the CDs, but you win some, you lose some, I guess.

I did win with one recent CD though: Neon Bible by Arcade Fire. I must admit that I'm a little late on getting it as it was released a while ago. I wasn't originally going to get it. I tried to get into Arcade Fire last year, listening to their album Funeral, but I couldn't get into it enough to buy it. But then I heard a couple songs off this new album and figured I'd give it a try. And you know what? It's pretty good. I'd recommend it. Maybe I'll give a more cohesive review on my other blog (the link is to the right) when I get the time or if I feel like it, haha. We'll see.

That's really all for now. Real exciting, right?

P.S. - The first season of Psych is out on DVD, and that makes me happy.


Haikus for Amanda
I can't write at will
Or else my haikus are crap
See, what'd I tell you?

(hahaha how was that?)
