I can now see why 'back to school' seems so attractive. I'm sure it's no comfort to tell you we've all been through the shitty jobs thing during the vac s while trying to get an education.
I had some really low life jobs, including cleaning urinals and humping trash bins. Because I ran away from home at 15 there were no parents to offer financial support.

Interior Design...that's great. It's something I've enjoyed playing at as an amateur over the years. Best fun was renovating an old 15 room Georgian house to original features, designs and furnishings. It looked really great when finished and even attracted media features. Sadly I lost the property shortly afterwards thanks to a business failure. But nobody can take away the satisfaction I got from the project.

What do you prefer..Classical or Modern?

By that I mean 'period' as opposed to 'contemporary'

Today I get to work alone! ... It doesn't sound that great since the other store was robbed the other night, but the girl I work with is driving me nuts. It's just not normal that on nights that I have "help" I typically get out at least 15 minutes and up to an hour later then I'm supposed to.

I just picked 5 fresh...

Strawberries straight from the garden are the best. A true taste of summer.

I see you enjoy good Port. Remind me to tell you a very funny Port story some time if we get to know each other. But it will need to be by private mail; it involves a great deal of personal embarrassment.

By the way, may I ask how tall you are?

I always thought the Big Apple was some kind of Mecca for all Americans..a must visit at least once to pay homage to the mighty dollar.

When were you last over here? More to the point, when are you coming next?

I'm back from Florida, and aside from being exhausted from such a long car ride (something like 15 hours) I';m relativly unscathed.

I was amazed at how nice the beach was... the water was like floating in a spa or something - I am used to North Carolina and Deleware beaches that have frigid water.

Here's a photo from the cam LARP (cropped to protect...

Wow, I was amazed to get two comments on my last journal entry.. all two sentances of an entry at that

I'm surviving my two jobs.. but trying to decide which one I keep when school starts.... It seems like such an easy decision- fast food or not fast food.

But the fast food job is for a place that is only open 10:30am -10pm...

Hey, does the arsenal still blow itself up every year or two? I remember our windows rattling in Blacksburg. Great look bye the way. shiitake

calixta:

I'd respond Shittake, but you don't have a journal entry where I CAN respond :/

The arsenal has minor explosions occasionally, but hardly ever bad enough where it could be considered blown up.. I don't think theres been a big "accident" in at least 3 years.

.. and I live 2 miles drive from it.. probably one mile as the crow flies
