I have had the craziest series of days, and it just keeps going.
I love Austin. -
AHHHH!!!!!
I'm up at Ruta Maya and just made myself go up and read some very bad poetry just because the idea of doing so terrified me. But someone told me my ode to the vegan chocolate chip cookie was cute, so. -
Really? The job AND the guy?
So, I took a chance on giving Patrick some trust Sunday night, and told him the story about the health problems and the depression. He said we should hang out Wednesday night. I didn't hear from him for the next several days. His phone was off last night, Wednesday. I left a message on his phone reminding him that he had my bike lock and I ( Read more... ) -
It was worth a shot
Well, fund raising is not my forte, so I am throwing in the towel on the job with TCE. Stacey offered me one last chance tonight to raise the $150 minimum, but I just don't want the job that badly after doing it for a week. I learned a lot, and now I know how to do canvassing, but I just don't feel like I can do a consistent $150 + per night ( Read more... ) -
Coffee Shop Archetypes?
I am siting up at Clementine's on East Manor, which is about three blocks from Hippie Mansion. My friend Amanda's band is supposed to be playing at 8:00, and after them will be Wino Vino, a group of incredibly hot guys who play self-described Gypsy Punk. I've seen them before and I'd love them even if they weren't all so damned attractive ( Read more... ) -

This is going to be a cool job, and I am excited. I don't officially have the position yet, but I'm not worried. Monday is a "trial day" they make all new hires go through. I'll basically be shadowing an experienced canvasser all evening, and the last hour I'll be sent off to try it out for myself. Virginia, who interviewed me, seems very ( Read more... ) -

Loneliness can make people do stupid and even horrible things. It's something to remember when I am short on forgiveness ( Read more... ) -
Boredom, books, and blogging
It's cold in Lubbock. The air is dry and the wind is raging against anyone who can't get around with the insulation of a vehicle. My debit card was supposed to be in the mail today. I suppose I will be here for at least a few more days.
I am bouncing back and forth between a book on ancient Babylon I have been picking through for some time, ( Read more... ) -
Today
Politics are eating my brain. But I need something to do. I hope I go back to Alaska this summer, but the oddest things keep taking prominence in my immediate radar ( Read more... ) -
Worldly matters
I called the credit card company today, finally. I've called several times and dealt with people with no interest in helping me. For the first time I got a rep who pulled up some sort of program to actually help me get the damned thing paid off. My late fees are waived for the next year, and my interest rate drops down to only 5% for twelve ( Read more... )
