July 2008
It is official.
I’m moved. I’m done with Athens, back as an Atlanta resident as of 6pm today. Very happy about leaving Athens, just tired of living in a (much) smaller city. Moved in with parents and brother in my parents 2 bedroom loft in Midtown Atlanta. I’m couch-surfing for the foreseeable future.
On the agenda: NEED JOB NOW.
The most frustrating part of moving back in with...
Finding a place to hide my toys and porn and such. I guess I could put it in with the boxes going to storage… but that’s depressing.

Soooo? I like myself, it’s not all bad.
Georgia has 7th highest teen birth rate in U.S. →
“The study showed that Georgia has 53 births for every 1,000 females teens ages 15 to 19 in 2005, which was the latest year available for national comparisons. The report used data from the National Center for Health Statistics. In 2004, Georgia had the same rate of births; but the numbers have dropped significantly since 1970 when the rate was 98 births for every 1,000 females.”

That’s odd. I’m kinda in the middle… must be all the football and porn.

I feel like being on a beach with the wind in my hair, the breeze cooling me off, the waves drowning out the sound of my thoughts, and being the only one around for miles.
Me too. But I don’t want to be alone, I just want to go on a beach trip. Someone make it happen.

C’est moi. It’s shocking, sure, but lovely nonetheless. A day of packing and cleaning is ahead of me, but I may have to make it a day of packing and cleaning and drinking and dancing.
Sex Without Condoms Is The New Engagement Ring
thillythenny:
Condomless sex is the new engagement ring.
This has to be the single dumbest shit I’ve heard. I think it’s great and froofroo to dedicate your life to someone by choosing something other than the stale, overused engagement ring. BUT, that’s giving 100% of your consideration to the relationship and 0 to the potential child. Unless sex without a condom also means no drinking,...
Guess who is taking their final early and is...
C’est moi! J’ai un examen demain. J’etudais. J’espere que je reussi.
(I know I’m missing all the accents on those phrases.)
Choices.
For some reason my last craigslist post garnered no normal responses or inquiries, my new one (with pictures) has gotten 10 responses in 30 minutes. How do I choose who to give it to? One lady is trying to play with my emotions: my daughter is asking for a bigger bed, please sell it to me! And some are really nice about accomodating a good time for me to come pick up the furniture. I don’t...
Today is not the day to mess with me.
I’m taking bitches out left and right.

Cover letters should be banned forever. They are the fakest shit ever. I cannot imagine that any employer actually reads them or cares what the fuck they say. What a joke.
Agreed.
Bad News
To all my friends who take me places and must listen to me complain, my apologies: I’m never getting my license back. My year of no license whatsoevernoquestionsaskeddon’teventhinkaboutit has apparently not even started. There is some major bureacratic bullshit going on and needless to say I almost lost my mind this morning when I discovered this unfortunate news. I will be able to...

Sooooo... yeah.
On Thursday, I’m finished attending the University of Georgia (provided I pass French). Weird. It doesn’t feel at all real, 7 years done gone by. Wish I could take some time and enjoy my victory, but I took my time getting here so really can’t complain.

Bucking their usual (well-tracked by Sarah) trend of a comments section full of idiots, there are some actual good ideas in the comments section of this article.
(Caveat: I only read the first page, so who knows if the usual “public transportation? That’ll let the thugs near my gated community” nonsense I’ve heard from anti-MARTA exburbanites for 10 years is there or not.)

Ha. So I may actually be going to see The Dark Knight tonight. Never saw the last one… hmmm. Hoping I like the movie lest I be shunned by everyone ever.

Nathan and I just fought like children when I walked in the door. He told me I couldn’t use his bathroom and it all devolved from there. My brother and I are 22 and 25 respectively and while occasionally good friends, we fight like crazy when forced to be in living situations again. We’re very similar about lots and complete opposites about other things but we did not get along while...

A man’s response to the girls=boys math article:
“I’m wondering if girls caught up, or if boys dropped down. Any numbers? I didn’t see it in the article. It just said they’re at the same level, not that the level of girls went up.
Of course, the underlying issue is this ridiculous feminist notion that men and women are the same and can do the same things. Not only...

Feeling much better. Got a call from a recruiter and while the jobs they’ll be screening me for are certainly not my dream jobs, they are jobs that pay money (all I really want at this point). Yeah so I have an interview on Friday afternoon in Atlanta. Though I must take an online test to show my proficiency in Microsoft Excel, Power Point and Word before I head to the interview, and my...

I’m sickeningly jealous. Yes, I’m happy for her, but still, it’s so frustrating when you’re surrounded by people who have everything seem to work out for them. Everything just clicks for them all the time and they almost always seem to get what they want. She worked very hard of course for this opportunity and I’m proud of her. Just wanting something to go my...
