Hello!  thanks so much for the comments on my last entry.  I know it was sappy, but hey, sometimes (when you're lucky) real life is sappy. : ) I do love my job, even if it pays less than In-N-Out burger. Hurhurrrrr...

Moving to today's topic, as some of you might know, I'm really not good at parties. When I attend one, I get the distinct sensation ( Read more... )

Well, now that I have your gracious attention (and thank you very much for it!) I have a story to tell, that began over a month ago, and just concluded today. I know I've only been in the animal rescue business for 3 months, which hardly makes me Mother Theresa, but hell, I'm really digging this whole "compassion with pay" deal.

At the SPCA where I ( Read more... )

Probably the only political thing I will post this election season;

First thing's first, I got the SPCA job! Its only 10$ an hour at the moment, but I already like it better than any other job I've had.  I leave work smiling almost every day. The position is "customer care associate," which is a ( Read more... )

So, attempting to come back to this livejournal for the umpteenth time this year. The other day I watched an episode of The Critic and thought of Mike, listened to some Helloween and thought of Nick, and pawed through my Werewolf books and thought of Emily. Someday, my friends, when my life is in order...

Anyway, things I feel like posting:

Hrm, long time no see, yet again. I think its been about 3 months since I even logged into LJ at all. I hope you all, my long-neglected friends, are well. It seems to me like the best hope for me to continue this journal is just to use it as a depository for snippets of writing and odd things I come across on the web instead of for describing my ( Read more... )

So... How many friendslists am I still on? I've noticed a few of you have disappeared from mine. I hope all is well. I figure now that the only way to keep this journal is to exclude my life from it, except as it relates to a few universal truths and cycles ( Read more... )

Yesterday I brought in a carload of groceries, and neglected to close the front door. Sometime between the apples and the dish soap, my eyes were drawn to the spot of light and beige carpet just in front of the welcome mat. There I was surprised by the presence of a small, tortoiseshell colored cat. She was crouched low, much in the manner of a ( Read more... )

So, I recently recieved a $678 tax refund check from Uncle Sam, just days after my computer of nearly 6 years took the "big crash." Coincidence? I think not ( Read more... )
