Finding a girl to love, well, I won't say it's easy, but I am of the firm belief that in a person's life, there's at least 10 women a man can find, marry, and happily grow old with. Finding that woman is a good thing ( Read more... )

Happiness is texting Kyle about how my Rattata is in the TOP PERCENTAGE OF ALL RATTATA!

*chuckles* I am, sometimes, very, very simple.

For those living under rocks, the Borders chain of bookstores is closing. This has left me somewhat sadfaced, partially because I'm really not into the books on computer thing (for me, nothing beats the feel of a good book in your hands), and partially because of the fondness I have for bookstores in general. My standard movie-watching policy ( ( Read more... )

One thing about losing weight......

Pants I bought a year ago don't really stay on my hips anymore. I have to wear a belt to keep them up (though they're not in any danger of completely falling off, but they ride entirely too low, I feel like I'm sagging).

Why am I so worthless? Still haven't found a job. Just deal with a phone call that.....honestly, really made me feel worthless. Like I'm a failure. I'm undertaking a pretty heavy attempt to re-educate myself (going to a resume workshop tomorrow to try to spruce up my resume some, as it's a mess, re-reading my C# book, possibly getting a more ( Read more... )
