Fascinating!
Well, I have to go in and have a drug test for the job I'm trying to land today. Still, that's usually a good sign, right, if the potential employer is willing to shell out some money to make sure you're not a habitual drug user. My cat was curled up in a little box my brother left on the front lawn this morning. I...

They want a drug test to work there?
That's so bizarre. To me at least.
But I guess it's good sign that they're interested in hiring you.
Your cat isn't stupid. Just comfortable in weird ways.

Drug testing is very rare in Canada, so I guess that's why I was so surprised.
Have you given your sample yet?
Hope it's clean.

OK, I got tagged (actually, I begged to get tagged 
) with this 20 random things about me deal. I ran out of things I could think of immediately around #17, so here goes:
20 Random Things About Me:

I broke my skull when I was two, broke my collarbone when I was five, and broke my foot when I was, I think, ten.
Adopted children aren't biological? Again I ask - are they androids?
I don't buy into any birth-order stuff. Too many people don't meet the generalizations. They're as bad as astrology.

Thanks for the birthday wishes.
You're right about life and success not being straight-forward. If I had gone to university right out of high school, I would have majored in political science. A few years later, when I actually did go, I majored in psychology. So I realize that life doesn't always go as planned, and there's nothing wrong with that either.
I know you have people who love you, and I laugh with you, and sometimes at you, and only want the best for you. And I know there are people in my life like that too. And it's greatly appreciated.
I don't know where this path in life is taking me, but I keep going down it nonetheless.

Holy shit garage sales are a lot of work. The fact that I've had maybe 1 decent night's sleep in the last three days really doesn't help the exhaustion. If I didn't have to work tomorrow night, I might just sleep all day. I also want to send a big "fuck you" to my Uncle the catnapper for leaving his parents in the lurch this...

Catnapping incident? Doesn't ring a bell. Do tell.
And consider yourself tagged. List 20 random things about yourself. No cheating. In other words, don't tell us stuff we already know, like you live in Iowa. Okay, I already know a lot of random stuff about you, so don't worry if I already know. But they should be things that most people here wouldn't already know.

I've got to make a trip up to Cedar Falls... drop off my FAFSA form, and my checks for rent and my portion of the power. Then I'll be back in my hometown for the weekend. We're having visitors... the woman who watched my brother while my Mom was at work pretty much from the cradle is bringing her daughter down today sometime. She's pretty...

, good days are always great days Well, one more time with feeling. I'm going to head home tomorrow... my brother has been beseeching me to come home, and I miss the big lug. I'll see if my body cooperates with me this time. Plus I have some Rammstein CDs for him I'm sure he'll enjoy. I introduced him to the German Industrial band, and he's been sucking up every song from...

Holy crap! This is new. I'm having a little trouble getting links to work correctly (for some reason when I click on friends to go check their blogs, the link either doesn't work or shuts down my internet altogether with an error.) but overall, I really like the new layout.

I went to bed around 4 am, slept until 10, was up for a while, went back to sleep around 1... and slept until 6. I had to be at work at 7.
I'm feeling considerably better, fixed myself a big plate of stir fry when I got home from work, chowed down on it.

So, I'm going to drink as much water as possible through my nausea, and just try and sleep as much as I can today.

And your mom thought you'd care why?
Sorry you're sick. I'm certain I didn't give you anything. Unless you finally got my postcard and it was somehow infectious.

I'm more than a little pissed off at someone today. I violently dislike being talked down to because I don't have a kid. I'd gone through a rough patch over the last few years, and was discussing that with some friends last night. Then, one of them piped in that she had never had similar problems, and she "has a daughter". As if to say,...

There you go - that's the spirit. Beat her up. Knock some sense into her.
Okay, okay, enough of that. Sorry she riled you up so much. Avoid her for awhile at least.

Its always a wonderful thing... lift up the washer lid, and a green cloud practically wafted out of the drum. Mmm... my roommate's moldy pillow. Probably percolating in there for a week. Wonderful.

I know you were kidding. I was just going with the flow.
I'm doing alright I guess. My usual somewhat depressed state of mind. Not about anything in particular. Just my usual sense of emptiness and nothingness. Wish I could shake it.
