Taking applications for a new best friend.
Don't worry you only have to stick around for a year or so, then you can move to a new state.

People that refrigerate their peanut butter:
Who are you? And what the fuck is wrong with you? PUT IT IN THE CUPBOARD!

I don't want you guys to worry or anything...
But I lost a bit of my beard, and most of the hair on my arm in an unfortunate BBQ incident. BUT DONT WORRY! It's ok. It's ok! It's not noticeable.
I was really worried though.
Oh, and I guess it hurt a little too.

So I passed that Driver's License test, and then decided to go car shopping. I could regale you of the whole story, but it's not really that interesting.
So I own a car now. A 2003 Pontiac Vibe. I chose it for its economy (30/36mpg), reliability, size, and not lameness.
Things that are lame with it though:
1) Stereo is only now an FM radio. The display doesn't work and it won't take a CD.
2) Smells a little musty. It's not awful, but it's there.
3) A dent on the top of the roof that's rusting.
4) A missing seat belt cover on the passenger side B pillar.
5) Black "government issue" steel rims
Why the car is still awesome:
1) I didn't use my down payment because I financed it myself through another lender, so the down payment went into a god awesome stereo/navigation/DVD/backup camera/blue tooth/voice activation/iPod control thing.
2) I can clean it or have it cleaned.
3) I'll take care of that with some sanding and fancy putties or whatever so I don't end up with a hole in my roof.
4) Who cares?
5) Hey, they don't look that bad really. If I fall into some money maybe I'll get different ones.
I got the car for about 3,000 less than any other dealer was selling them at a loan rate lower than 5%. Driving still feels like something I'm not supposed to do, but I guess I'll get used to that.
Sorry for not including the obligatory "here's me and my car" picture. I've never been a fan of those.

I finally finished this freelance job (I think, waiting on final approval)!
SO PUMPED! SO OFFICIAL!!!
As well I'm starting to plan the biggest party of the year that's coming to be known as "The No Slut in 2008 Party". Let me tell you, it's gonna be absolutely mind blowing.
Now that actual work is out of the way, I can get to designing/producing some things I've been meaning to get around to. *cough* http://www.10ofakind.com *cough*
Supplemental Happenings:
This Wednesday I have my drive test for my FIRST Driver's License
July 1- No more slut roommate
July 11- I'll be seeing Eddie Izzard Live and Fabulous

A lot of you know, I do not enjoy my job.
I've been applying to some really neat jobs that have come about, but I haven't received any inkling of a nibble of interest. It's really been bumming me out because I'm not much on pride or ego. I think my stuff sucks, and the non-interest in me and it hasn't been helping. I don't believe anyone that says it's good, and I can't stand positive remarks about my work from co-workers. I'm just not much for rah-rah, id rather worry about not fucking shit up the next time.
Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love what I do, like, times 10 to the twenty third (when I'm doing actual design work I mean). I feel most lucky to have found something I really enjoy doing. But really, there's too many people better than me. The job isn't helping either. The work I produce is lame because I don't have a budget to make anything cool. 75% of my day is spent doing things that's not in my already 5 page long job description.
I come in 30 minutes late everyday. I also don't do any work after 4:30 (I get off at 5). I spent 3 hours today working on my website and resume AT WORK to apply for a new job. I would say I do 2 hours of work that's actually related to my job a day. The rest I'm surfing SG, Break.com, Youtube, or shopping for cool products. I feel a little bad, but I also feel taken advantage of. They let go of a part-time guy, and I have his workload now, on top of my own. I'm constantly carrying my Publications Director so she can actually function. You can't stress her out, or she gets red in the face and starts crying. Yes, thats right, our Publications Director cries. Don't get me started on our System Administrators that create more problems by their shoddy work that I have to chase them down to fix. Sure, I'll update the website...Oh wait, it doesn't work half the time. Ok, I'll cover the front office for awhile. Ok, let me get that mass email out to our 4,000 members at the same time. Sure, I'll show you how to work tables in InDesign. On top of that I have to answer the phone to get yelled at about the dumbest shit. THE DUMBEST.SHIT. Let me just apologize to all those people who I inconvenienced by enforcing federal regulations.
Oh my god I want a new job. PLEASE! Why does it have to be so hard? I'm not bitter though. I don't hate anybody. I'm not a hate monger...
I'm more of a hate stylist.
