So yeah, this week has been crazy and fantastic.
Winning trivia on Tuesday.
A fun night out with friends on Wednesday.
Selling six books on Amazon, for a total of more than $100.
A job interview scheduled for next Wednesday.
Not being sick anymore.

So yeah. Someone who shall not be named blocked me on Facebook again, most likely because of a stupid online discussion of an issue he can’t possibly understand.
He’s done this before, and he was the one who requested me back last time. Not that I really mind either way. I know who my true friends are.
Right now I have bigger things to worry about. Getting my life in order, getting a job, staying happy and healthy, being the kind of friend my friends want and need.
So I welcome this break. And the joke’s on him.
Also, I have a really good idea for something I want to do for one of my friends. Well…I want to do this for all my friends eventually. But I’ll start with this one. :)
I got the idea on SixBillionSecrets.com. Someone posted a secret in which they told about how they keep a list of all the things they like about their friend, who’s struggling with depression and the self-loathing that can come with it. That friend has a truly amazing birthday gift coming to them.
I’m really excited to start this project. :)

I can't wait to move.
I mean, I love my friends, but I'm getting really tired of either having to be around couplefests in my living room or having to leave home to be comfortable.
It really bothers me when I see people in relationships who ALWAYS. HAVE. TO DO EVERYTHING. AS A UNIT. They wake up at the same time, they eat every meal together, they go everywhere either together by themselves or with other couples who they can relate to and talk about stupid couple-y shit like "we've been trying to have sex, but he claims to have no sex drive and I'm afraid to break him" or "whenever he kisses me, he always tries to stick his tongue in my mouth, isn't that cute?"
Gag.
And then they go to bed together. It's always we, never "I." Because they've completely lost their ability to be themselves. Which disgusts me more than I can express in words.
This may be an extremely radical and biased opinion. But that's how I see it. And if any guy EVER tries to pull that overbearing crap with me, I will kick him to the curb. I'd rather be single than a doormat. Any day of the week.

Because I love being able to be independent way too much.
When I look around me at all the people I know who are in relationships, I see nothing I want and almost everything I would never want in a million years.
A couple of days ago, StumbleUpon found a site with a story about the differences between men and women. One of them said something along the lines of how you'll rarely hear a man say "I have to check with [insert name of wife/girlfriend here] first" because the man doesn't want to feel like his decisions are controlled, especially not by a woman. Conversely, women love to be able to say "I have to check with [insert name of husband/boyfriend here]" because they like to show off how intertwined her life is with her partner's.
I see this all the time with my friends. My roommates can't do ANYTHING without consulting the other. Which to me sounds way too restricting. Who wants to be involved with something that completely strips you of your own identity? Who would want a life where everything depends on the other person giving you permission?
Also, I recently found a site that suggested that women's dress should reflect both what you're divinely being told to do and "what the husband prefers." Again, you lose all identity and all freedom to choose for yourself.
Um, no thanks.
After a nearly yearlong hiatus, I finally updated another one of my blogs, The Best Free Stuff Ever! It will eventually be full of tips and tricks for living well on a budget, as well as keeping the influx of bargains and freebies under control.
Enjoy!
I'm supposed to have a job by tomorrow.
Which is looking less and less likely when 1) half of the people I know are competing for the same jobs; 2) it seems like everyone hiring is looking for a year or two of very specific experience, aka my year of general office experience is barely useful and my copy editing experience is meaningless; and 3) lots of people still aren't hiring because of the economy.
Also, I'm pretty sure those stupid personality surveys in 90% of the applications I've filled out are designed to weed me out of any potential work, because I'm failing every single one of them.
Meanwhile, I need to be able to insure a car, move into an apartment and eat within the next two weeks.
I have hit the end.
