Boredom

2009-04-25T01:06:32Z

I don't really have much to say, but I feel like typing/writing something! I know that once I sit myself in front of a blank page, I find something to say. Or not. It's been a weird week. I haven't been to sleep before 3 a.m. any night this week....

Rejection sucks

2009-03-26T17:53:24Z

I got my second rejection today. They were quite nice about it, of course. I got an email saying that they didn't have space for the piece. I would like to know if that's a euphemism for "we don't think it's appropriate for this particular issue,"...

I can't write

2009-03-19T05:33:35Z

So, my dad has spring break in a couple of weeks. I'm really the only one free to go traveling with him. Well, now that my cousin has moved in, she could. She's afraid to ride the bus, though, so I doubt she'd make it onto an airplane or a boat. W...

Life changes

2009-03-16T14:30:31Z

My cousin moved in with my parents yesterday. She was supposed to on Saturday, but we didn't hear from her and didn't know what was going on. She called yesterday, though, and said she was on her way. She didn't have that much stuff, so she was in...

Too many litterboxes.

2009-03-06T21:41:48Z

My cat has been using my bathtub as a litterbox for a while now. Not that long--maybe a month. I'd rather she goes in the bathtub than on the rug, you know? I have no idea whether it was the difference in litter, the hood on the litterbox we have,...

I feel giddy!

2009-03-01T05:39:40Z

I just submitted an essay that I wrote for publication, and I want to do a little dance. I feel like I'm lit up, like I'm on fire, like I've had a few cups of coffee! I've submitted a couple of small pieces before, but nothing that I consider a se...

Epic Sucky Episode of my Life

2009-01-16T04:34:21Z

I did not get the job that I interviewed for last week. I never heard about the second one, so I assume I did not get that one either. My mother knows a teacher at one of the schools where I interviewed. She asked her what went wrong so I could ch...

Jobs, knitting and such

2009-01-02T18:09:33Z

I have an interview! An interview for a REAL TEACHING JOB!!! Can you tell that I'm feeling good about this? I can't say that I'm excited because I've had too many interviews at this point where I didn't get the job to feel excited about it. I'm no...

Turn my water back on!!!

2008-12-23T17:29:44Z

It's cold here. I started out in the garage at work one night where it was 42 degrees. By the time I got home 30 minutes later, it was only 6 degrees. Brr! I know there are places that are colder, but I've been living in California for 6 years! I ...

Life is Frustrating

2008-12-12T16:32:20Z

So ends my first week of actual work at this job I've taken. Honestly, there's not really enough to do to keep me busy. I don't like that because it makes the day creep by. Hopefully, we'll take people out tonight and it will eat up some of the ti...
