I'm flying back to Charleston (probably) next Wednesday and I still haven't found a job.  What the hell am I going to do?  How in the world did my life turn out to be such a worthless mess?

For those of you who didn't know, I've been working two jobs for the past two months - interning Monday through Wednesday at the Senate and waitressing, at minimum, Thursday and Friday lunch. Between days I picked up and the way my schedule was written, I ended up working 7 days straight for roughly a month. Because I so rarely have time off, it' ( Read more... )

"Welcome to my late mid-twenties..."

It's my birthday. No, I'm not excited about turning 24. Life unbelievably sucks right now. (Although it's still marginally better than living in Charleston.)

Thanks to everyone who really made me feel appreciated as I rung in my birthday: Chris (for driving me to and from PA and offering to spend *a freaking ( Read more... )

I wanted to make this post more exciting, but I'm sleepy (and yet have to get up in a few hours) and stressed out over choosing laptops.

I got to see a lot of people I haven't seen in quite awhile, including some close friends (who, spatially, are not so close). For ( Read more... )

It seems that my laptop has shown the black screen of death. You might know the one: Disk error. Press any key to restart.I'm sure I have tons of things on there than can't be replaced. I don't know why I have *not* learned to back up my files. This is about the 8th hard drive I've killed (or approximately the 9th if you count my first iPod). ( Read more... )

So. Last weekend. Not only did I get to go to Wine & Jazz with some cool kids from my high school (behold the weirdness that is Charleston), I got to see some live jazz at Sam's (great), Wine & Jazz (surprisingly just okay), and Capitol City Roasters (freaking *phenomenal*); get tipsy on port wine; get complimented by girls who either thought ( Read more... )

I'm sure this is already floating around out there somewhere, but a moment of inspiration left me with this hastily-Photoshopped Republican elephant:
