Valentine's Day [13 Feb 2008|09:49pm]
[ mood | jealous ]

What a bullshit holiday.

I was just wondering [01 Feb 2008|01:03pm]
[ mood | contemplative ]

Is age 27 considered old? Is it wrong that I don't want to settle down and have a family?

I'm gonna turn the infamous rock star "death age" on Thursday. Me and Justin Timberfake.

I'll never understand it [08 Jan 2008|10:03pm]
[ mood | confused ]

Perhaps it's because I've never had one myself, but why do people feel they NEED to be in romantic relationships? I've often heard others say, "It just sucks to be alone." Well, why? I'm very sad I've never had a boyfriend, but should I be killing myself over being alone? Should a relationship define you as a person?

Dear LiveJournal... [12 Sep 2007|05:14pm]

I have a college degree and feel I am fairly educated and intelligent. But if my supervisor has no such education behind her, and her "other job" is working as a clerk in a gas station, is that a sign I'm too good for my current occupation? Or am I just being a condescending asshole?

It's so big! [07 Sep 2007|08:35pm]
[ mood | content ]

Well, bigger than my previous place of residence, anyway. I just love my new apartment!!! :) Of course, I'm living alone, but I love it.

This is completey irrelevant and trivial as compared to anything going on in the lives of anyone else who reads this, I know. I just thought I'd throw it in.

Finally!!! [14 May 2007|05:04pm]
[ mood | cheerful ]

I'm on vacation, in southern California, and going to the KROQ Weenie Roast this Saturday! My heart is dancing with joy. Hopefully, Queens of the Stone Age will put on a spectacular show.

Also, I'm totally blonde now. My coworkers nearly shat themselves when they saw me.

Just a random thought [11 Mar 2007|10:37pm]
Why does Canada get to claim the citizenship of someone as cool as Peaches? Are all Canadians this cool?

Hmmmmm.... [05 Mar 2007|08:22pm]
The two things in life that I've never been able to acquire a taste for and that everyone else seems to love:

1. Beer
2. Country music

Seriously...how can people enjoy these?

And the lameness continues... [26 Feb 2007|10:50pm]
I turned 26 about a month ago. Never had a boyfriend and still a virgin. *sigh* Woe is me.

I'm a pint down [22 Jul 2006|10:58pm]
I gave blood for the first time at my workplace's blood drive this past Thursday. The day before, I was all lightheaded and nauseous at the thought of a whole two cups of the red stuff draining out of me. But seeing as there is a blood shortage (and not wanting to appear as a complete pussy), I decided to tough it out and go through with it. I have to say, it wasn't as terrible as I thought it would be. They gave us free cookies and drinks afterward. And, I found out I'm A+. Just like Mommy. :)

Some sad info... [17 Jul 2006|10:08pm]
In recent news, my brother's childhood friend was found dead under a bridge here in Wausau last Wednesday. It was caused by a gastric hemorrhage brought on by severe alcoholism. Just imagine...to be dead at 23 from alcohol abuse.

Why can't I live where my brother lives? [30 May 2006|12:44am]
In less than 2 weeks, I'll be in southern California, visiting my little brother and seeing the Strokes (among other bands). I thought it would be paradise, but the Cheesecake Factory makes it Heaven.

I'm also a bit apprehensive of the fact that this is the very first flight I've taken all by my lonesome. I love the idea of travelling alone and not being responsible for another person, but it's intimidating, nonetheless. But I'm sure they've made those airports as simple and idiot-proof as possible.

Thank You raw_angus [16 May 2006|11:41pm]

1. Leave me a comment saying, "Interview me."

2. I will respond by asking you five questions of a very intimate and creepily personal nature. Or not so creepy/personal.

3. You will update your LJ with the answers to the questions.

4. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the post.

5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions.


1.)You get to build a man! What's he like personally and physically?

I'm a bit of a hypocrite in the sense that I myself am overweight, but have never been attracted to overweight guys. So, I'd say he'd have to be of average build. Some muscle tone is nice, but I'm not so picky about that. In terms of height, he'd ideally be taller than me, but not taller than 6'2". I also tend to lean more toward dark-haired, dark-eyed guys, but there have been exceptions in the past. But there is nothing, absolutely nothing, more attractive in a man than when he has confidence in himself. That, for me, would obliterate any physical flaw he might have. Of course, there would also have to be the obligatory sense of humor present within the guy in question. I find a man with a bit of mystery to him appealing, as well. He'd also have to be creative, fun, kind, generous, sweet, and affectionate. But when a guy doesn't give a shit about what people think of him, I find him to be a rare and amazing creature.

2.)What's your idea of a perfect weekend?

In the Hamptons, emptying my trust fund. Well, actually, that would be second on the list. If I'd ever had the experience of having a boyfriend, it would be spending those two glorious days in bed with my sweetie. Realistically, though, it would consist of seeing live music. I just adore the idea of hoping around amid throngs of sweaty people, incoherently screaming the words to songs that are breaking my eardrums after absorbing whatever substances are in the air or in my cup, and just being concerned with having an amazing time.

3.)Where, ideally (but realistically), do you see yourself a year from now?

I'd honestly like to go back to school in search of a profession in which I can truly help someone. Like being a guidance counselor or social worker.

4.)How many licks DOES it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop?

Don't know. I'm too busy pretending it's a penis. Wishful thinking.

5.)Who or what influences you most?

This is always a tough question for me. I suppose it would have to be those people who have had so few resources (less than me), but have done so much more with it. I know it seems like a stock answer, but I could say that my family had some positive influences on me. I guess not everyone could say that. For example, a few weeks ago, I withdrew some money from an ATM machine at my workplace. The machine only gave money in $20 increments. I asked for $60, but it gave me $80, instead. I then proceeded to tell one of the women behind the desk that the machine spewed out an extra $20, and that I wanted to return it. She looked at me as though I hailed from planet Xenu. All she could keep saying was, "Wow. Not many people would do that. They'd just take the money." A few days later, I got called back to the front desk and received a $10 gift certificate for the building's cafeteria. The woman who gave me the certificate said, "There aren't many people like you left in the world." I told my mother about the whole scenario, and she just stated, "You're your father's daughter." So I suppose my family influenced me in that they taught me the value of honesty. To this day, I hate to lie.
