4) I shop at this health food store near my office, and for a while I was on a soy yogurt kick. I'm on semi-friendly terms with the Pakistani man who runs the place, and so one morning when I asked for coffee and he chirped "soy?" all expectantly, I said yes! Soy! And then I got it in my head that he thought I was vegan, so for two weeks I only bought vegan food there. And I felt proud about it. And when I broke down and bought a chocolate bar one day, I could swear he felt dissapointed. That amused me.
I hate having to deal with old professors. I asked my graduate director (I dropped out of the program/moved) to write a recommend to continue grad school in library sci (I was going for lit) and she did. Then I had to tell her that I decided to start a nfp for CATS instead. This on top of one of her other favorite students going into the military instead of finishing his last 6 credits on a double major b/c the school stopped using history or lit classes as double-credit and wanted 2 full sets of major's credits so he "stuck it to
haha i know, i really tickled myself with that vignette.
and wow, way to go kid. i just felt dumb because i guess i was being tongue-in-cheek about being fine with not creating anymore and i expected her to 'get it', and maybe she did but was still like 'well whatever, forget you then.' le sigh.
Yeah, it totally is a new LJ. I realized the old one had 5 years of whining behind it and I just wanted a new do-over for cool stuff/project ideas without really mentioning the nfp's particulars too much in case anyone linked the 2.
Academes are always so unimpressed with our laypeople lives. I am aces with it though - I feel like there is academia and the constant back-patting of good grades...and then there is real life where I can be judged on my mettle instead. (Heavy mettle! \m/) I heartily perfer this way.
aaaah jesse, i know you're trying to cut back on this stuff but i'm wondering if i can borrow some of your contacts and/or advice. mark and i found a very tame, adoptable female cat outside our building. definitely stray, definitely under-fed, but very sweet. she sat in mark's lap for about 30 minutes while he waited for me to get home, purring. i felt like i couldn't leave her there in good conscience, so i'm going to foster her for a couple days and try to do something for her. at the least she's getting some good food and shelter...
so i'm wondering if there are any listservs you post on, or any venues that might be useful in terms of finding her a home. i have someone interested in seeing her tomorrow, but i know people are flaky at best. i guess worst case scenario i could try to get her spayed and then release her, but i don't have a lot of spare money for vet costs (i know this is the eternal excuse) and i'd really rather adopt her out. ANYWAY this is totally long winded, so i'm gonna stop writing.
1) wtF is a "mommy" blog? i have a feeling I dont even fucking want to know...
2) I thought my professor who was supposed to write me letters of reccommendation was blowing me off but i just heard from her yesterday - she got into a serious car accident - I feel *so* much better now! ;p heheheh
3)lolz indeed. if you were a faggot you would be jenny on the L word. she has the cutest clothes anyway :p
4) eFF vegans cheese is GOOD kthnc
5) you wont have to leave maybe i can live in the kitchen my roommates all hate me anyways! haha!
6) diet dr. p is so gross yet so... yeah its gross I drink it too tho :/
7) oh well remember: shit happens & nobody's perfect! ;p
1) a mommyblog is a blog written by a...mommy? ha i dunno, it's this 'genre' of blog where women write about being moms and their kids and it sounds really boring, but i guess it was like discovering an alien civilization at first, and i was hooked. i was all, "Ooooooh, Liam has a cold?? He's making poopoo in the toilet?!"
2) My only conclusion is that I'm a huge dissapointment! I did not deserve that Nelis Award, they should take it back! off my mantle!
3) yeah.
4) I'm a hog, I could never be vegan. I'm way too into the immediate gratification and comfort of food.
5) Why do they hate you? Are you bein a b? <3
6) I never really drink it. I just...I don't know what I was thinking.
7) I feel all the worse because I was shunted around a bunch when I first moved to NYC, and it felt so bottomlessly awful and lonely and overwhelming, and I totally just did it to someone else. Is it like a requirement for living in New York that you get dicked over as much as possible in the first 6 months you live here?? I'm sorry, Asha!
i think my obsession stemmed from my aversion, if that makes any sense. i just couldn't believe these women's existences.
my job lets me get by, but i feel like i'm just treading water. i wish i felt like i was getting ahead or something. and i feel shitty that getting ahead just means making more money.
Is there anything you can do differently? I remember feeling that way when I moved here and I also had to pay off $14k on top of that! You are always welcome at our Suze Orman nights, yo.
I think if I 'went corporate' I could make way more money... But I don't really know how to go about doing that, or if it'd wither my internal organs. Oh! Can I get that employment agency info from you? I think you had a specific name or something? I love Suze but she stresses me right out!

life in nyc can be hard to sustain. it's all about finding jobs that don't stress you out too much, and pay enough to get by, i think.
