A very shy girl. The shy girl wanted to explore the world. Then she wanted to find a life partner. Only the shy girl didn't know how to date. She posted some photos on sites like OKCupid.com, PlentyofFish.com, even Match.com. Dating is like job searching, like interviewing. Clueless as to anyone's knowledge. Shy girl met someone, but has only been to coffee once with this person. She enjoys emailing him more than talking to him. She's going on another walk with said man tomorrow, and is very ner… Continue

I'm Ameri-fabulous because I spent all day Ameri-working on the Ameri-binder for my school. Then, I'm Ameri-working my other job from 4-8. Hopefully I'll get to see some Ameri-fireworks before getting up to do it all over again tomorrow. I can't help but feel like I am in the Ameri-rat race. When do I get an Ameri-break?

Before I email my resume somewhere I'm checking 20-something files to make sure this is just the one that is going to represent me BEST on paper. It's getting kind of absurd really. There has to be a better way.

There just has to be a better way!

...so by default, I must be dead.

Seriously, folks (and by folks, I do mean the parental units):

A word to the wise: I don't HAVE to call every SUNDAY to let you know I'm alive. I am a functioning, healthy, single woman living on my own more than 1,100 miles from my hometown. It goes without saying that I talked to you on Wednesday, therefore, I can go past Sunday without talking to you again. I have no news. I do not want to be REAMED on how I need a job and a mate.
