I've been strutting around a bit and have been feeling very relieved. I got offered a job, signed the papers and start at the end of the month. Yay for me! I've had a perma-grin for awhile now, and am just glad to be finally in the position of getting off welfare, starting my career and having more money than I've every earned in my life. It means no more daytime blogging, but it also means, that, eventually I will be able to upgrade from my CrapComputer to a real kickin one. However, I ...

There are just some days when a beer would go down so nicely. I've been trying to stop drinking. I have never been the kind of person to keep alcohol at home and since I am only able to get out once a week at the most often, I don't actually do a lot of regular drinking. I'm also usually the kind of person who likes to be in control, so even if I do go out, I'm always sober enough to know exactly what I have done, how many drinks I have had, and who I have been hanging out with. Add tha...

There's no method to my madness of blogging today. I can't seem to put forth a fully formed opinion on anything, and any particular item that I would bitch about isn't maddening enough... just a minor annoyance. Then again... Ordered list, anyone? If Trinitie is 'gone' from Joeuser, why does she continue popping up in the comments section making decidingly bitchy comments? I would have responded to one of her so-called challenges, but that would be on someone else's blog, not mine...

i know that it doesn't take much effort, but i'm just too tired to capitalize my sentences today. why? i think it all began when i stepped out of the car this morning and saw snow falling from the sky... again!!! okay, i realize that i live in canada, and that there's a great many people from outside of canada who think that this is the norm- snow in may... but it's not. there's nothing normal about walking into my apartment last night to a living room that was 91degrees, and then waking up ...

it's sunday. it's raining. i have to go grocery shopping. i need to clean the bathroom. i am currently doing laundry. i have a movie that is 14 days overdue. I still haven't brought it back yet. i kissed somebody that i shouldn't have. i cut someone from my friend list. i went to the movies. i'm trying to eat more veggies and less bread. i am dying for fish and chips. i want a coke. i need to drink more water. i've got to go.

There are just some things that I should not read, that I stupidly click on anyway. Why do I punish myself like this? After reading the blog, of course I spilled out my opinion. I hit the Submit button. Immediately went back and clicked on the Edit button. Found I couldn't entirely delete my response and had to leave a period behind as a sign that read 'I did read, and had to retract my original comment.' Everyone has a right to their opinion, no matter how wrong it is to me. I d...

Summer session at my university always brings on a change in demographics. Gone are the pasty faces, replaced by a multitude of ethnicity. In the fall, minorities average (I'm guessing.) in at about 15% for general courses like Psychology, History, and English credits. Courses that draw a specific audience like Native Studies, Black Studies also allow for the majority to attend, and usually make up the most of the population as well. Simply put, even for specialized courses, minority numb...

I've been waiting to add new sites on My Favorites list for awhile now. I like checking out where other people give links... it's interesting to see what attracts someone to something, plain and simple. I've been living in my hometown, off and on, for about 15 years. A lot has changed around here. Shops come and go, as do the people. We are slowly starting to attract international and big box businesses, but the change isn't in your face. In the end, it is still just a small university t...

I wish I knew who it was I was talking to, when that person said that one of their favorite movies was 'True Romance'. I've been giving it a lot of thought, and now, I immediately wish to propose. Because, hopefully, they saw the same thing in the movie that made them appreciate it the way that I did. And if they did, well sweetheart... you're lucky I consumed one too many pints to be sure about who you are. Otherwise, we'd have a wedding to get ready for. 'True Romance', for me, was a gr...

I've mentioned this before, I think... I know a lot of people who think that I am a lot younger than what I actually am. I'm 34, but generally, people think I'm about 25 or a little bit younger. I've been carded recently for both cigarettes and at a bar that I don't normally go to, but that stopped happening a couple of years ago, too, on average. Now, I have a twin... who everyone thinks is way older than me, because they only think that we are plain sisters (of course we're non-iden...

I noticed today how the Top Ten lists have changed... and it surprised me, pleasantly. The biggest change? Dharmagrl!!!! I am glad to see her name on both lists. Way to go! I'm also glad to see opie's going down on the list... I never actually thought that it was fair that this user's name was taking the space that should be allotted for someone who's actually contributing on a regular basis. I'm sad to see Macky lose his ten spot... it was a short ride, but I'm sure it'll be there ag...

I've decided not to renew my internet service at home. One of the main reasons is because my computer is just a peice of crap. I've seen super high speed computers, and your run of the mill computers and both of these kinds are infinitely more superior to the task of web reading than this thing. Simply put, what probably takes most of you seconds to view here at Joeuser takes me minutes, and often more, depending on the frequency of times my service connection is broken. I'm not even going t...

I had a completely flippant kind of post set to release out on Joeuser, but have to admit that it is not what I really want to portray. I don't want to give the impression that I mean this as a joke or a call for submissions, but I've been giving this a lot of thought. I am actually hoping too hear from anyone who is looking to go a bit beyond Joeuser. In this, I mean, I would like to exchange addresses and ultimately emails from anyone who is interested in corresponding a bit beyond the ...

Every Tuesday night, I feel this way. I've got to stop thinking that I'm some sort of athelete. So I went to my basketball night, and I thought I was hot piss. I was running up a storm, throwing hard cross-court passes, and scored five remarkable baskets, but it was the final one that seems to have done me in. I caught Malaka's eye, and psychic-like, knew the play. But everyone forgets that I'm LEFT-handed, and she just launched one at me. And like some 2K Harlem Globetrotter, I cau...

So, Ive been spending some time at the Uni today, relishing the highspeed connection. And can you ever tell that school is almost finished for the year. It's loud, noisy, and there's a general feeling of excitement in the air. It's hard to say who's more excited, the students who have finished exams for the year, or the Hockey addicts. Either way, I don't give a shit. I hate hockey, and I haven't had to sit an exam for several years... one of the pluses of being a student in Cultural Studies ...
