please sir can i have some more

so for now, being unemployed still kinda feels like a long weekend. i am making a concerted effort to a.) get out of bed before 8am, b.)bathe and dress, c.)leave the house for at least 3 hours and d.)not take a nap. so far so good. i think this weekend i start on the virtually endless number of hgtv projects. ex-work only called 4 times today, so i think they're figuring it out. my strategy, if they leave something i feel they really can't figure out if they try, i'll call back, late, and leave some vague idea on the voicemail. if its just pleading, yeah, they get nothing. good news today though. interview (scroll down to "program coordinator 1") on monday. very excited. we'll see.

in other news, the new roommate, mccamy is getting married sometime (date subject to the whim of them), she officially asked me to be a bridesmaid. sigh. 100 times a bridesmaid, never a bride. although i do have to say the dress does qualify as one of the favorite of the other dozen or so that are um (to steal from celeste) *fakecoughsoakedinchampagneandwaddedupinthefloorofmycloset*. yeah. i think the price is a little stiff, so hopefully tlmc will agree to have the same one. because lets face it "its cute, and something you can wear again" is something that all brides tell their maids just so they dont feel so guilty about making their poor, unemployed friends spend $240.00 for the pleasure of being in their wedding-see fake cough line above). its kinda hard, im not a good enough person to live with someone who is planning a wedding and who has a serious princess complex about it. im just not sympathetic at all. and ok, im a little bitter. im trying to realize that this is just a test of resolution #5.

other bummed out purchase of the week. yeah dont be jealous.

*deep breath*

with the encouragement of tlmc i did make one redeeming purchase. *giggles*

now singing

I feel your pain! My best friend in Charlotte and my only sister are both getting married in April.

My theroy is, don't be envious of the person's marriage unless you envy the relationship itself. When you think of it like that, I can't think of many marriages of which I am envious...Also, learned in property today that when it comes to property interests, you are actually better off as unmarried cohabitants than as a wife. Marriage is for suckers. In one case, wifee quits school to support her husband through medical school, with the understanding that after he graduates, she will go back to school and he will support her. But, 4 yrs later, right after he gets his degree, he divorces her. Basically, the court said - "too bad, sucka!!! That's what married ppl do for each other. To treat it as a business relationship would defile the sanctity of marriage." Marriage sucks and is unfair and is a blatant violation of church and state. (perhaps my single-dome is tainting me a bit....but ya know...) Let's see... I also had to read some Kant for class....that dirty Kant!! hahahha.... ok, sorry... oh, and I have determined that I must have "Platonic" tatoos across my forehead. Dude...
