Wow. I haven't posted in an extraordinarily long time. So, here's an update... My boyfriend matt and I might have found ourselves an apartment worth keeping. We are stoping by to check it out tonight in Friendship. Also, I am going on a field trip this weekend across the state to visit matt's parents and go to a Phillies game. It should be a blast... well, I'll check back later. Have a beautiful day.

I guess it's true when they say "when it rains, it pours." Life can never just stay on an even keel. Everyone knows that there are ups and downs. Did you ever feel like everything was just raining down on you? This is how I feel right now. I'm on the brink of changing my life completely.... January 27th..... this day could change my life completely and for the better... but like everything else in my life, it seems, it is completely out of my hands. I have an interview for my dream job on the 27th... in chicago. This means that I would have to move to chicago, be away from matt for 2-3 months, and start a new job in a place where I am completely alone. I'm alittle nervous to say the least.
And, on top of that, Dismemberment Plan broke up. I am completely at a loss for words about this. If you didn't know, they are my favorite band. All I can say is that they were a diamond in the rough in the music industry. Unlike most bands, not only were they amazing in the studio, and live, they were amazing people as well. I'll miss you guys.

I have a feeling that today is going to be a very good day. I made some definate progress in the hunt for a new job, so that I may recklessly abandon this stinky one. I also have a doctor's appointment today during my lunch hour- which will probably run late and cut into some valueable work time.... yay!!!! even the smallest bit helps. I'm a happy camper.
Oh, and I JUST HAVE to get the donnie darko soundtrack!

Love as Laughter- Sam Jayne = Dead
"shoot me in the head, man... shoot me in the head"

Yesterday the internet was down all day at work... and I had absolutely nothing to do except take phone calls from idiots who know nothing about music. This guy calls me asks me if we have something "it's pretty obscure, I think... it's called the f-a-i-n-t?" (yes, he actually spelled it out). Oh, I also need this band, I don't know if you've ever heard of them... they're called wilco?"
It wouldn't be so bad dealing with these people if they didn't give me the same lecture before asking for these albums. "All of this stuff is pretty obscure and on idependent labels, so you probably won't carry it, but I thought I would ask anyway. I've never heard of any of this stuff either".
Then he will start to ask me if we have the new hot hot heat, wilco, the faint, godspeed you black emperor, spoon, etc...
It just makes me sad, that's all.....
At this very moment I am watching my FAVORITE co-worker clean out her ears with q-tips while sitting at her desk.
On a slightly less vomitous note, I decided to construct a mixed cd for work full of songs that remind me of hell.
Here are the songs that I've chosen so far (in no particular order).
Bright eyes- if winter ends
Le tigre- TGIF
Pulp- Mile end
Modest mouse- Polar Opposites
Radiohead-how to disappear completely
The other day, my FAVORITE coworker made the comment that she "can't think of a food that she doesn't like". I laughed hysterically out loud with no remorse.

I saw donnie darko last night... I'm kinda confused... but I loved it! Atleast it made more sense than Mullholland Drive (still trying to figure that one out). Hopefully, tonight Matt, Matt and I can combine our efforts and come up with some sort of solution.
Anway, I have decided to leave the workforce with wreckless abandon for the world of graduate school. Yes, that's right. I figure that it's time that pitt paid me for an education. If I get into the communications department for grad school, there is a good chance that it will be paid for, and I can be a teaching assistant for extra dough. This way I can get a masters... and a better job. yay me!

Ok, everyone has that one coworker that they just cannot stand. For me, that coworker is someone I will refer to as M. If I hear M. refer to new years eve as "amateur night" one more time, I'm going to completely lose it. She talks really loud. I mean, REALLY LOUD! She is in her 40s and lives in her mother's basement. Everytime she talks to someone on the phone, she trys to reel people in to having conversations with her so she can brag about something. For example, she will say "I am so tired today!" which will be a prompt for the other person to ask why. Then she will have the right-of-way to tell you all about how she saw bruce springsteen last night. This wouldn't be so annoying if she didn't go through the exact same conversation with every single customer until I can mouth her words as they come shooting out of her trap. Every person she talks to gets to hear her ask "What's new? What's exciting? What's wonderful?" and refer to things as being "peachy keano". When she is angry, instead of cursing, she says "oh, lord love a duck!" WHAT THE HELL IS THAT? Her mother is her only friend and her only social engagement is to go play bingo once a week. She is a huge, fat oghr of a woman and has quite the dandruff problem. The only reason she calls new years eve "amateur night" is becuase she is such a loser that she didn't have plans... she sat home by herself and watched tv. I hate her.
