My Memorial Day weekend started out with a new experience. Really hot. Smmmokin hot infact. What’s worse, the idiots who lived in this house before us took all the screens with them when they moved. (We rent) But that’s not the interesting part. On Friday I visited a synagogue to sit in on a Sabbath service. I am taking a religion class right now and for my final paper I have to write about a visit to a religious service other than my own. In short, I am procrastinating big-time. I should be writing that damn paper but I have zero motivation. The best thing that has come from this class is that I actually understood what they were referring to in the Davinci Code. That was cool. Without this class I would have been lost as to what was going on in that movie.
Why do I feel like a loser posting tonite? Oh, yeah, now I remember...I have nothing else to do. I can't be too hard on myself, there is a reason why. I have been in the house all day recouping from my hangover. Every now and again you have those special nights where you celebrate above and beyond. This usually occurs when it's an event that I have been looking forward to for a long time. I can usually anticipate when these evenings will occur. I get a "party like its 1999" type of mind set going on. *Nights like this will either become awesome stories or horrific nightmares.* This particualr one was to celebrate my friend Katie's birthday and see her pieces she had displayed in her art show. This was her first time having them on display and for sale. (way under priced though) She sold them all!! Fucking awesome! So we had to celebrate. ![]()
You know you are in trouble when you start finishing other peoples shots! Reflecting back on the nights events I begin to notice a pattern. Near the end of the night I go in to a different mode entirely. I call it "auto pilot". I am completely normal, coherant and carry conversations about god knows what. Its like I just sit back and watch. The best part of the evening is the witching hour (when they stop selling alcohol; 2:00) the following behavior comes over me...I will order too many drinks at once, buy everyone shots and lastly hord drinks in my purse. You'd think Michigan was going to be a dry state by morning!
All in all I had a really great time. Tune in next week for part two of "highly anticipated events" starring Jammie's 30th birtday.
What the hell have I been up to? Good question. Not a whole lot. I am still missing everyone down in Detroit. I am currently still unemployed. Not having to go to work or do pretty much anything else for that matter is cool. However, like all things the novelty eventually wears off. I must admit though, when I first got here I was sorta half-assin it on the job hunt. But now the money has run out and I hate to say it but....I am bored. There I said it. I want to visit long lost friends and take vacations which are both unobtainable in my current income bracket. The best part of the whole thing is that I set my sights too high. I am the person that holds on to the idea that the perfect job or better yet career will some how find me. I can't seem to grasp the reality that I was at my last crap job for 3 years. In 3 years time I functioned completely on auto pilot. I am not gonna just walk in to that same situation.
Oh yeah....I had my first group interview. Didn't care too much for it. It was odd knowing who I was in competition with for the job. And if the face to face situation wasn't enough all the interview questions were asked aloud to the whole group, so you just blurted out answers, over anaylized everyone elses response and tried to "1 up" them. Long story long...I 'm still unemployeed. I suck
The last like 6 entries have been by teenagers. The best part is that I can always tell before I even see the age. ....By the blinding bright backgrounds they choose and the cool contrasting neon letters that accentuate my screen glare.
Atleast its possitive becasue it always makes me smile. and swear.
Just a little something to lighten the mood.
Seems like I have been away forever. I moved and am still unpacking. I have yet to get my computer up and running. Odd as it may seem I really don't like to use other computers except my own. It's strange, it's like I feel safer on my own. However, I have not been on here in a while and wanted to drop in and say "hi", so I broke down and jumped on his computer. We still have to get some sort of wireless thing so I can get on the web from my comp. Still no word yet on the missing niece, I assume this means she is not coming back.
On a lighter note, I have had a busy month. I had a going away party on the 13th, I moved on the 15th, had a bachelorette party on the 18th and another going away party on the 25th. I have a wedding this weekend and shorty after we roll right in to St. Patty's day. Hell yeah! Any excuse to party.
