sandwiches are good, sandwiches are fine. i like sandwiches...

having your tonsils taken out when you're over the age of 10 isn't really all that fun. well, perhaps it could be, but i live alone, my parents are, well...MY parents, and i only have one local friend.
the lortab liquid is a godsend, even though it takes some time to kick in, and the levaquin seems to be clearing up my ear infection. i'd love to have a bitch batch of fries or some pizza, but i'm on soft foods for the duration of bedrest, which is pretty much boiled chicken, ramen, and pbj.
i'm writing letters to people, nothing really big, just something to occupy my time.
perhaps i'll give my vox blog a bit more attention these days, too.

QotD: Saving For A Rainy Day

What are you saving up for? 
Submitted by Star. 

A couch. I've lived in my place for almost a year now, but I haven't taken that step to get a couch. I guess there's a part of me that fears the moment I out down roots, something will happen and I'll have to relocate.
Since graduating (almost 3 years ago!), I've tried to stick to the one-in, two-out rule. I've known too many people that have had their lives turned upside down and had to throw everything that was important to them into the back of their car and hit the road.
I'm becoming more comfortable with being alone, so, I think it's time to have somewhere to crash in my place that's not MY bed or the AeroBed.

QotD: NYE 2008

Who is ringing in the New Year with you?  Who do you wish could be with you, but isn't there?

i'm ringing in the New Year by myself. i don't mind doing it solo, because i've had one hell of a year.

the number twenty-three...

i'm sure everyone in my office is sick of hearing about my birthday on friday, but i can't even begin to act like i care.

i'm excited in a way i haven't been in YEARS about getting older. despite the fact that he's still around (somewhat), this will be the first birthday since my senior year in college that i WON'T be spending with MIKE. up until the beginning of this month, i was scared about that prospect: doing something important without mike... but, when he walked out, my entire perspective changed. i realized that i've spent the last 2 years doing things that were in the best interests of the TWO of us, but he's been just looking out for himself.

i had a plan for my life that was intended to run me up through the age of 22, but it didn't factor in my late birthday or skipping in the 5th grade..i wound up two years ahead of my own schedule, and i couldn't get any good input on how to proceed. i thought i'd be a married-homeowner-mom, or at least well on my way, by this point (this point being almost 3 years post graduation).

i'm not disappointed that my life didn't pan out the way i thought it would when i was 9. i'm excited that i've been able to learn and grow so much since then; i've got a lot more up my sleeve!

QotD: Education, Occupation

What was your major or field of study in college? Did you wind up working in that field or using that degree? If not, what field have you wound up in? 
Submitted by sneuf. 

I majored in computer science information systems, with a minor in business. I was also in Honor's College, which meant, instead of taking classes like gym and health, I instead took Argumentation and Debate and African American history.
Up until last year, when I picked up a second job at a retail place, every single job I'd ever had was in my field. I'd never handled money, merchandise, or anything in that realm. So, yes, I wound up working in my field, and still do.
The really good thing about my 'field' is that it's broad enough to allow me to work anywhere (I mean, there are few places that DON'T use computers), but specialized enough that I can be the expert, even if there are other people there who tinker in their spare time.

Ultimately, I want to run a personal assisting/professional organizing business. I'm taking the leap and joining NAPO next year, and in the meantime, reading every book on organizing and time management I can get my hands on.

pi is exactly 3!

i'm a serious nerd to have gasped out loud when i heard that on the simpsons.

how's everybody doing out there? i haven't written anything (here or anywhere else) in a while, but i'm feeling very "wordy" today.

there are a whopping 18 days until my 23rd birthday, but aside from the "pass" i get for it being my birthday and the fact that the company holiday party (read: fancy clothes, free food, lavishing of attention from people 2-3 times my age that think i'm a technology goddess) falls on the same day, i'm not really EXCITED. i love my life, and i'm happy to feel like i'm getting a fresh start after a year of mishaps, but i feel like it'll be just another, normal day.

i don't have any concrete plans, and since it's a friday, it won't be too hard to find something to get into.

what did you do when you turned 23? who did you celebrate with?

QotD: Three Foods Forever

If you could eat only 3 foods for the rest of your life, what would they be?
Submitted by formance.

Strawberries, steak, and potatoes.

I'd probably be as big as a house, but those are three things i NEVER get tired of. This past month, I've HAD to eat steak in some form or another (taocs, fajitas, etc) at LEAST once a week. It's bad...

QotD: The History of S

What sites show up if you type "S" into your browser's address bar?

A google search for the following:

sprint-nextel
the letter S on wikipedia
sulfur on wikipedia
san fran craigslist
the letter S in the index of us departments and agencies on usa.gov.

that's as far down as the list goes without having to scroll...

QotD: I'll Have The Usual

If a waiter stopped by right now to take your order, what cocktail or drink are you having?

Bonecrusher, of course. If not that, then a cosmo, but then again, Hennessy and pepsi (not COKE, yuck!) goes great with steak...

those are my top (and generally) only 3 choices, with the bonecrusher being first, but not nearly as common as the other two.

QotD: Deal Breakers

What are your deal breakers in a relationship?

in light of my current situation, i don't even know anymore. it all depends on how i'm feeling at the time, to be honest. my ex cheated and had not one, but TWO kids by other chicks. we CLEARLY broke up, but we're still friends. blatant lies that speak contrarily to the things that the relationship is supposed to be built on kill the romance, but there's so much more to a relationship than romance, i often find something that i admire about the person that i'd either like to continue to have (as in the case of my ex, he's a great conversationalist...) or i try to find in other people.
