For several reasons:

The first is that I've been working all day, every day. It's consumed my life since I started training, and I passed my final test (which had me insanely stressed out and was really tricky) on Friday afternoon, so I had my own sections Friday and Saturday night. I love love love the people I work with, which makes the tacky ( Read more... )

why don't more people love poetry? this is a random thought, but... by and large, i hate listening to the way people speak. i include myself in this number, because you can't run around spouting sonnets and be taken seriously, but i hate that. even if we didn't speak in meter or rhyme, would it really kill us to address the world in less direct ( Read more... )

I have two jobs pretty much lined up. One as a server at Lonestar Steakhouse (they do a group linedance every hour... ohmygosh), and one selling music, instruments, etc. at Music and Arts Center.
