Totally stolen from Jezebel
|
“…This is a real paradox for me: My entire life I’ve been told I wasn’t pretty enough. My entire life I was told by people that I was ugly, that I was too tall, that I was flat-chested, that I was this, that I was that. When I was a stripper I was never quite pretty enough. I was never one of the beautiful girls. I was never one of the top earners. Suddenly I achieve something in my life that is purely intellectual and purely creative, and I’m being told that it’s because I’m pretty. To me that is the weirdest, most ironic thing ever. Like all of a sudden I’m attractive when it suits people’s purposes. But in the past when I needed to be attractive I was ugly. So let’s pick. Which is it?” — Juno screenwriter Diablo Cody Have I mentioned that Jezebel is my favorite blog evar? It totally is. Even though they talk about the getting drunk a leetle too much for my comfort zone, but, hey - everyone needs a thing, y’know? Speaking of things: A) - I won an iPhone at my new job. Which is hilarious and awesome, and keeps me from wanting to slit my wrists ou of boredom at said new job. Why oh why did I ever think I could do corporate drudgery? Oh yeah… paycheck. Grr. I WAS SUPPOSED TO BE RICH AND FAMOUS BY NOW, UNIVERSE! WHAT GIVES? How did I end up poor and infamous? Jeez. B) - If you cannot tell, I am feeling a little sorry for myself at the moment. I shall knock it off in short order, but for right now, I am mired in a a massive “poor poor me” sulk. C) - Adjusting to Vegas is hard. I am so homesick I can barely even think about Kelly Sue or Henry without bursting into tears. I miss my sponsor, I miss my meeting, I even miss the freaking SNOW. I know stuff will change - it has to, right? I mean, I’ll make friends and everything, won’t I? Won’t I? OH MY GOD WHAT HAVE I DONE OH MY GOD. D) - Vegas is very dry. Seeing that it is a desert, I should not be so surprised. But I am. I have turned into an itchy alligator creature. Who is sulking about it. E) - Bunny has discovered the joys of cat poop. Oh jesus. Ok, I am going to Target now. THE EXCITEMENT NEVER STOPS IN SIN CITY. |

It shows how spoiled you are that you take Target for granted. In Portland, we have to go to an outlying suburb if we want to do some Target shopping. I never get to go, I don’t have a car, or some big strapping man to carry my things. *sniff*

I understand about Target being a possible place of refuge and comfort. Target is my church. We go every Sunday to worship with fellow Targetarians.
Also, welcome to the corporate world. Yeah, the paycheck almost makes it worthwhile. Read Studs Turkel, he understands. The $$$(minus taxes) helps to support the stuff and people we truly care about and have passion for. The balancing act is tricky, however.

I’ve always wondered why dogs have a thing for cat turds. I mean, I know it’s because they must think they taste good, but what’s in them that does that? TO WIKIPEDIA

iPhone! Cool, I just got one too! I freakin’ love it. I just found this little website that has a bunch of magazines for free, optimized for the iPhone: http://img.zinio.com/iphone/info/
Good luck on the new job, at least they bribe you with prizes to stay there…
