02:09 pm - hey jobs. Hey, Success for All Foundation job. Get back to me please. I know the review process isn't over but still. It was really weird that both Phil and I applied-- (he applied as graphic designer of course) You only needed an associates degree?? psh. in that case you BETTER get back to me for an interview. And it's in Towson! That's not that far. Hey, Carroll County Times copy editor job. I'm applying to you today. Even though you turned me down for editorial assistant (for whatever reason) Trust me, I'm completely capable of using proper grammar and spelling. And no, I don't know Quark Xpress, but that's nothing you can't teach me in a week. Hey, telecommuting editing books job. I emailed your editor in chief and she still hasn't responded. I'm resending it today. Why would you post your job if you didn't want anyone to help you? Hey, Library assistant job and Carroll Community college. I will apply to you soon, even though I really don't want to. Two years secretarial experience? nope. Excel "proficiency?" but I can answer phones effectively and learn excel in three seconds. Not that difficult. Current Mood: aggravated

01:16 am - achievements I'm trying to make a list here of what I'm really good at. (obviously one of them is not ending a sentence without a preposition) What I'm really good at: ~making people laugh ~singing ~listening ~long-term memory of antidotes. ~giving my possessions away ~ambivalence ~empathizing (sp?) what I want to be really good at: ~driving ~guitar (ok, to be honest, I just want to be mediocre at it; as I'm way past the time in my life to be proficient at an instrument and am not a professional musician.) ~writing. ~doing labor when I'm not getting paid for it. ~insulting idiots and suddenly, I have a strong desire to box. I was watching cinderella man, which is a great movie, and I can't think of anything more exciting the getting punched. Masochism? Current Mood: sleepy

02:24 pm - nostalgia I'm feeling nostalgic...about magazines. (?) I remember that I subscribed to Girl's Life in middle school...maybe three or four years. Right now I really want to look at all of them and see what they're like...I'm sure I had a million issues. I don't know if I'm crazy or what, but I remember the cover of the first issue. It had two brunette sisters on the front with sparkly eyeshadow and hair that was twisted and pinned up. Nymphets. I also remember my first YM magazine (which is now discontinued, along with elle girl and Jane) The first issue had Mandy Moore on the front in a white bikini. She was probably sixteen or seventeen. Now she's 25. Gah. I had Mandy Moore's third album, self-titled. Of course it sucks, but it was still leagues better than Britney. I remember it had this middle-eastern sound because Emilio Estevan produced and wrote some of the songs I think. YM also had this obsession with Josh Hartnett, and even at that age I didn't get it. There's a picture of me somewhere holding that issue. This is weird. Current Mood: contemplative

07:37 pm - Autumn. I can't decide if I like that it's getting cold. But I did buy apple cider at work and that was awesome. Butttt it's like 67 degrees in the house. brrrrrr. Today at work me/amanda/sharon were talking about old guys and hotness. Mike Rowe is "delicious" to manda and sharon both, and bourdain to amanda too. Sometimes it's comforting to know that there are girls out there that like men over bout 30...I mean srsly, some people think that's disgusting (???) whatevs men always look better older. I held baby Keira yesterday...she was flopping around (guess she's not used to her head yet) and then she sneezed on me!! was really adorable, but I guess the kidz is allergic to me. BABIES. Current Mood: cold Current Music: simon bookish

01:29 am - chirp (less) + No matter how hard I try, I just can't get into women music. Men are just better. Unless they are in a band together; men/women. Like Dirty Projectors. I'm getting into them. Also getting into Simon Bookish. Both are great. + The crickets are dying away down in this basement. Fall is coming, and my sleep schedule is getting different. I want to stay up later (thus this post) and I wake up at 11 all the time, even though I don't want to. I set my alarm for 9 and wake up at 11. I'm in a funk. I realize I really do like fall: late sept, oct, and nov, but past then I hate hate. Jacket weather--fine. Coat and freaking layers and I still feel cold to my bones--go the fuck away. + I can't finish this Jimmy Stewart Bio...maybe because I really want to start my Anthony Bourdain book...I'll be strong though. +Woodchuck pear is good, helps me be calm. Thanks Em. + How am I gonna get insurance if I'm a freelancer? (preferred, more soul-scathing, but least adventurous job) additionally: I suck at talking to authority figures. I need to start talking my mirror and pretend I'm all peppy and full of good ideas and an ass kisser so I can have a good interview. Then I can go back to myself. + I never worry. People are making me feel like I should. I stopped worrying the day I left high school and never looked back. Que sera sera. + I need a new camera!! target has the best deal. +I had chick fil A yesterday. DAMN that shit is good. I don't even like fries but DAMN!!! chick fil A is quality. AND the pickles. Whoever doesn't like pickles on their classic sandwich is insane. No pickle sandwich shoot my ass. RANCH on the fries. Fat kid. + Ellen Page and Drew Barrymore are kissing in Marie Claire, and its pretty and silly. People, chill the fuck out. It's nothing, it's nothing, it's nothing. The world would be better if people chilled. Current Mood: contemplative

September 10th, 2009

12:52 am - why getting old sucks Things happen to people when they get older. Shitty things. Here are a few. 1. People lose interest in culture. My neighbor is a prime example of a totally unaffected person. Her life is consumed by her children, a dumb librarian job, and Nora Roberts novels. How fucking boring is that? I'd crawl into a hole. I have never even attempted to talk to her about intelligent things, about music, art, etc. 2. People become obsessed with their children. My parents were never obsessed with me. They don't think I'm perfect and never will, and they certainly don't talk about me like I'm amazing. I think the people who talk about their children incessantly are trying to live vicariously. 3. People lose interest in music. I still want to be listening to bands when I'm forty, not stupid radio-friendly, mindless music, like Celine Dion or something. Somehow "adults" have this perspective that passion cannot be in music for the mature. That you couldn't be excited or moved by it, that it's purely an adolescent feeling to feel a connection with it. I'm glad my mom still likes Pink Floyd. 4. Old people don't have sex. Jesus, a lot of my friend's parents don't even sleep in the same bed anymore. This is not the way its supposed to be, and it's not healthy. Marriage is intimacy, commitment AND passion. If you're missing one side of the triangle it won't be the best it can be. It'll just be meh, and meh's not good enough. Why would you want it to be that way? I guess that I know that I'll never be one of these people, because I wasn't brought up that way...to be a "zombie" floating through life, as my dad would say. I'm not going to give up on my passions, or have a dumb housewife life. You can give to others so much and still be self-indulgent enough to know what makes you happy. You need to serve yourself well before you serve others. And I'm far to bizarre and I think too much to ever become a zombie. Current Mood: pensive Current Music: wild beasts

12:07 pm - Lincoln "The government should create, issue, and circulate all the currency and credit needed to satisfy the spending power of the government and the buying power of consumers. The privilege of creating and issuing money is not only the supreme prerogative of government, but it is the government’s greatest creative opportunity. The financing of all public enterprise, and the conduct of the treasury will become matters of practical administration. Money will cease to be master and will then become servant of humanity." "I believe it is an established maxim in morals that he who makes an assertion without knowing whether it is true or false, is guilty of falsehood; and the accidental truth of the assertion, does not justify or excuse him." "I am not a Know-Nothing. That is certain. How could I be? How can any one who abhors the oppression of negroes, be in favor of degrading classes of white people? Our progress in degeneracy appears to me to be pretty rapid. As a nation, we began by declaring that "all men are created equal." We now practically read it "all men are created equal, except Negroes." When the Know-Nothings get control, it will read "all men are created equal, except Negroes and foreigners and Catholics." When it comes to this, I shall prefer emigrating to some country where they make no pretense of loving liberty - to Russia, for instance, where despotism can be taken pure and without the base alloy of hypocrisy." "A capacity, and taste, for reading, gives access to whatever has already been discovered by others. It is the key, or one of the keys, to the already solved problems. And not only so. It gives a relish, and facility, for successfully pursuing the [yet] unsolved ones." >>>>"Prohibition goes beyond the bounds of reason in that it attempts to control a man's appetite by legislation, and makes a crime out of things that are not crimes."<<<< Current Mood: calm

04:17 pm - faux You know, they say women are attracted to men who remind them of their fathers, or have the moral attitudes of their fathers. In my case that is so far from the truth. I mean, I am like my father in so many ways; unmaterial, low maintenance, intense emotions, looks, not caring about the small stuff, libertarian. But I've always wanted to experience someone who was completely different than me. I have never been attracted to men who look like me (only dated fair dudes with fair hair) and I've always liked pretty boys who were unaware of it. RL is so opposite of my dad: doesn't draw attention, artistic, could care less of politics. Maybe he has the best of what my father has in relation to women and none of the things which I despise. I can't help but feel that our lives together will be completely different than the lives of my parents. I know our life will be more peaceful. It's hard to say, but I think I love my boyfriend more than my mother loves my dad, just because of the young age when we met. My dad was 30 when married. I feel everyone has gotten past those intense feelings at that age. But what do I know? maybe it's a different kind of love that I don't understand. All I know is that I have something that a lot of people my age don't, even if they don't think I do. I wish they knew. Current Mood: busy Current Music: fleet foxes
