Uh-oh. I think I confused people. My stories were rejected from a literary magazine; I wasn't rejected from a job of any sort, so have no fear! I am still employed! In fact, speaking of interviews, I have one tomorrow at 2pm for a second job, so wish me luck! If I get this job in addition to my other job, I will have no...

I got another rejection slip today. This time, the editor wrote it on the back of a shopping list which was about 2 by 3 inches and written by a little kid. 
I get the weirdest rejection slips. I mean, do they really think they're being clever? 
Those who cannot write, edit. I want to change that trend, though. Maybe when I grow up, I'll...

A shopping list? That is professional. That's who I want to work for.
poetik:
wait a minute!!! I'm an editor, and I like to think I'm not a bad writer either. I just prefer to edit than having to write about things I don't feel like writing about. I'd rather write when I feel like it :p but I know what you mean though. Maybe I'm working to change the trend too! 
But really, you should you be glad you didn't get that job. Do you really want to work with people that are such jerks they send you a rejection slip on the back of a shopping list? that's just low.
Good luck with your search!

Ok, so I may have rushed things a little by getting my pen ready so soon. If I signed that lease, I'd be in debt up to my eyebrows...

I love Tylenol. Good stuff there. Just took some actually.
So you dressed up on Halloween? What was your costume?

Well, it's Saturday night, I'm off work, and I'm a loser because I'm home doing laundry. I took a quick tally of friends, and I realized that I only have one and she's married and pregnant. I actually had another friend, but he no longer knows I exsist because he has a girlfriend who actually sleeps with him now. Which, really, is kind of gross...

yellow dress and johnny depp. Good to hear that you found a place. Now there will be no more house meetings.

My mom is the coolest person ever! She called a bunch of apartments for me! We're going to look at them on Friday. I still haven't told my roommates I'm moving out, but that's only because I know I will get SO much attitude since I'm a third of the rent payment. I plan on telling them when I have a place to go, or...

I have often found myself asking what the hell that is. Still no good answer. I have a P.I. checking in on it. I am going to get the answer and when I do, I will finally have the secret of success!
On a more subtle note, that is cool your mom is helping you get out of that shit hole.

You sound like you know when a class is a complete waste of time. Sociology is a complete waste of my time.
So now J., my girl roommate, decided to call a house meeting, but she will "not attend if there is going to be fighting." I'm not going to fight. 
I'm going to be very calm and mature about it. All I want is a frikkin' clean bathtub! And some cheese.... I'd like some cheese....

Good luck with the meeting. Not losing your calm is the biggest favor you can do yourself. Coz the one who's calm dealing with angry peple always manages to make them look like assholes. Although it might be tough. I find that I can't help but lose my temper when I'm dealing with blatant stupidity... So I hope they're not stupid.
once again... Good luck!
I'm sure cheese is great, but unfortunately, I don't like cheese ( I know that means I'm losing cool points :p )

wow those are nice. The pictures. The pictures are nice. Suddenly my mind went blank. Is Squee doing any better?
All right. I live with two other people. A girl and a guy. He is a pothead, alcoholic moron, and she is the retard who loves him. He leaves a mess in the shower, I get blamed for it. Since when did I grow a beard?? He bought a shotgun and I was not consulted about how I felt about a gun being in the...

Damn! must we all have housing problems Thanks for checking up on me. I did have a place to go, though it's an hour away from my job. But at least, I won't have an annoying landlady!
your situation really sucks though I'm lighting a canle for ya! (how else will you have all the luck to win money? )

so how is squee doing? Full of pep I bet. It sounds like you live in a crappy place. That is nasty when you go over to someones house and you wonder where they actually bathe because their shower looks sick. I feel for you and squee.

Their pancakes never tasted so
Oh God so passionately
Sensually orgasmically

I just went and bought Rob Zombie's new cd/dvd Past, Present and Future, watched it and lusted over him, like, the whole time. I had never seen the "Spookshow Baby" video, but now that I have, it re-affirms my opinion that necrophilia really is cool. 
I wanted to be that corpse doll! Only, with my luck, I'd be all ready to get my freak on,...

Another B. day coming up? Good luck!!!!!! B. good! :p OK, I couldn't resist saying that

Good luck!!!!!! B. good! :p OK, I couldn't resist saying that B. and I went to see Underworld. Correct me if I'm wrong, but was the guy who played Viktor the same guy who played the farmer in Babe, that movie about the talking pig?? All through the movie, I kept wanting to say, "That'll do, pig, my pretty, gothic little blood-drinking pig. That'll do." 
Anyway, think The Matrix, add a werewolf, a drop of Anne...

Wait a minute... Sounds to me like you had a great date, and that was without the lucky panties!!!! you pulled it off
I hope things work out with him, my advice is that the best way to involuntarily sabotate thihngs is to think about them way too much. Sometimes, you just need to leave you analytical mind at home and let your feelings guide you WHen I was a kid, people used to tell me this saying: the devil you know is better than the angel you don't. But hypothetically, though i see what they're saying, sometimes, you have to reazlie that you're still about the devil here... :p if you know what I mean. Change is good, though you may not be used to it, but change is the only way you grow and find out that though you thought you like one thing, darn it you love this new thing too!!! (OK, enough of my ramling and trying to sound all experienced and counselor-like)
Damn glad Underworld was cool! I have to make the time to see it soon!
I'm with you on driving to nowhere. One of the most therapeutic experiences I've had was one day I was really depressed, and I started driving, popped in my Norah Jones CD and listened (I mean REALLY listened) to it for the first time. I just drove around and ended up listening to that CD about 3 times in a row. Then I fell much better
I'm a real chatter box today! have a great week!

have a great week! Well! As far as I know, B. and I are on for tomorrow. We are going to the Olive Garden for dinner (his treat! Isn't that neat?) and then to the movies to see either Underworld (I love vampires!) or Once Upon a Time in Mexico (I lust Johnny Depp!). Either way, I will be pleased. We talked again last night and he said he...

Yay! I love the rush of excitement for a new date Those are the same two movies I want to see!!! you'll have to tell me how whichever one you see was.
Don't roommates always seem to get in the way when you least need them to?!?!? You know what I mean dude? :p just kidding!
Good luck! If you don't have them, maybe thinking of the undies can help... Nah, you'll do just fine being yourself!
