Bemused

I can't believe where the time has gone.

Today I have for the first time in about a month and a half turned on my home computer to sit and do nothing in particular. So what better time to pop in and say hello.

So much has happened these last handful months but it seems like only a few weeks ago was August. So for those that remember last year around this time I was bitching and moaning because I didn't get a job with one organization after a really good interview. Well, the girl that they hired in my place didn't work out so after a couple months they called me and offered me the job. Woo Hoo for ME!

Anyhoo, I'm still chained to my little swedish hell (IKEA) part-time. That's right I have a full-time job AND a part-time job. But that's not all folks, that's right this crazy little girl is also back at school part-time too! Where do I find the time you ask, well that's easy: SACRIFICE! I sacrifice social time with friends, I sacrifice sleep, and every now and then I sacrifice meal time.

(*sniff sniff* who ever thought that my taudry affair with food would be set aside for something as trivial as work or school? Bygones!)

Most of the time I don't really realize just how much time I've lost, because I do! I lose total track of it and next thing I know it's March 2007 and I'm not sure that I've had my thanksgiving Turkey!!! But don't feel bad for me yet, there's good news coming. This fall, after working only a little more than a year, at both jobs of course, I will finally be able to buy my first home! How's that for an accomplishment eh?!?!?! (Yes I say eh again, listen you are just going to have to get used to it.) I love it!

So in other news my birthday is in less than a month and the only thing that I am actually looking forward to is my family's visit at the end of March. Birthdays aren't as exciting as they used to be. Whoop dee do another year older! It's not like when we were kids and all your friends would come over for a party and get all hyped up on sugar. Then the next day at school all everyone ever talked about was the party.

Now it seems that birthdays are all about getting trashed, and all the stories start "Man I was soooo wasted. . ." I think that I've reached the point where I've out grown that. Not that 25 is all that old but lately being the sober one and seeing (really seeing) how people look when they act like that has definitely made me glad I've gotten that out of my system.

Ok wow weird rant.

Anyway, I found something strange the other day that I wrote a while ago and thought that I'd share just because I can!
