(work update: my fake job got updated to a dumb job because they started paying me a pittance after I pitched a fit about being used as a free warehouse)

On Sunday, I'm having my annual 4th of July party. What is interesting is all my oldest and best friends aren't coming. But a ton of people I know from only online are. I've never seen their faces ( Read more... )

Here are the songs I listened to the most in 2011, according to iTunes. I think I listened to these all by March and then I diversified. Wow, there's a lot of Morrissey. No wonder 2011 was so depressing ( Read more... )

I bought a notebook today. It was the first time I've done that since the spring semester of my senior year. I used it for notes and since then I've used it for everything else. It's finally over. And since the notebook I bought today harkens back to 2004, I am noting it on livejournal.

3. Phoenix - Lisztomania - 111

5. Heart - Alone - 107

And maybe that will motivate me more to find a job ( Read more... )

I don't know why I still live in New York.

Of course, the surge in transaction volume has been a boon for credit card companies: Visa’s stock price is around $60, and MasterCard’s is around $165.

I don't update this enough.  I got fired on Monday.  The reasons I were given don't seem to hold a lot of water.  They seem flippant.  So I don't really want to talk a lot about it, because there's not a lot of sense to make of it.  The reasons were that I don't give people enough feedback ( Read more... )

I felt awful and really tired all day today, but then I went to watch hockey at the bar and had 5 drinks and I feel much better ( Read more... )
