So I found myself a new apartment. I'm so excited - moving in three weeks, and it's going to be a long three weeks at that (especially with the weather - living on a third floor apartment in this heat is NOT fun).

It's a nice little one-bedroom at the very edge of this complex's property, so my little patio overlooks a swatch of grass...

Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck.


Bob Dylan - "Love Sick"
I'm walking through streets that are dead
Walking, walking with you in my head
My feet are so tired, my brain is so wired
And the clouds are weeping

Did I hear someone tell a lie?
Did I hear someone's distant cry?
I spoke like a child; you destroyed me with a smile
While I...

Well, it's certainly been an eventful week or so. I guess I'll start with the easy stuff - my new job.

They called an offered me a position and at a salary much higher than what they were originally offering. So I'm ecstatic about that. Had to go for a physical and a drug test yesterday, which I was worried about, since I had smoked...

I can't sleep; too nervous. I'm going back to Matthews for a third meeting with them, also to take some standardized test that the project head told me is rather SAT-ish. I swear, this is a lot of hurdles to clear for what's essentially an entry-level job. God only knows what comes after this if I do well - they'll have me thieving the golden...

After listening to Mclusky all day, it really hit me (yet again) how horribly disappointing it is they broke up. They were everything a great rock band should be.

Mclusky - "You should be ashamed, seamus"

hey! hey! heroes of stayaway fiction
what's the point of leaving home when you own it?
what's the point of do it yourself when it looks so shit

Why do I have to find so many women attractive? And to boot, why do I have to be so shy? The bane of my existence.

Yeah, I need more friends here in the 'burgh.

So the place I interviewed at last thursday called me back on monday morning, asking if I could come in this week to meet with a couple of the department heads, and sort of do some hands-on work with them, to get a feel for the job itself, outside of just talking about it. Needless to say, I jumped at the opportunity and went in...

Hmmmmm.

This was actually a semi-entertaining weekend. I hung out with one of my old friends who I haven't seen in almost a year on Friday. She's sort of an on-again, off-again "fuck buddy" (I really hate that term); neither one of us really tried for anything outside of kissing a bit, which is fine by me. I'm not really in the mood for that...

Well, today's interveiw went well, I think. It doesn't pay quite as much as I was hoping ($12 an hour...meh), but it's a step up. We'll see. I'll certainly take it if I'm offered.

And I need someone to go see Sin City with me tonight. Really.

Happy Easter. I'm really lazy, as it's 3:48 right now, and I'm still sitting around in my pj's when I should be showering and heading over to the family gathering.

I went and had a few drink with my little sister last night, of all people. Ran into a few people I went to high school with. Not friends, not even acquaintances, really. Just...people. It...

So, I forgot to set my alarm last night, which meant I reaaally slept in and was an hour and a half late for work.

On the plus side, when my lazy ass got out of bed, I was greeted by a message on my cell phone from a firm I sent my resume to a few weeks ago, asking me to come in for...

One day, a journal entry won't consist of me bitching about my ex-gf situation.

It'd be nice if she could pick a consistent tone with me; let's be civil or condescending with some regularity, okay? Mind games I don't need. Don't send me promising job links on one hand and bitch about us talking about me getting a new job on the other, blah blah...
