so the dude who had poem of the day earlier today was suddenly terminated. I'm always so curious, but I guess it's probably none of my business. Of course, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes' ridiculous relationship is none of my business either, but somehow I know all about it.

I am finally getting paid for the work that I do. My 30 days of free labor are over and from now on, I'll be rolling in the Banjamins. Not really, but I'll be able to eat and not wake up in the middle of the night sweating about money.

Shane turned 23 yesterday. Now I'm no longer the oldest. It's weird, I know I'm not old, but I really feel like I'm getting older. I'm in that transition between college and reality where I have to have a real job, insurance, and a car that has tires that do NOT need to be pumped up every two days.

Wednesday sucks

It always does, and I'll tell you why: I don't get paid yet, but I am forced to stay here later than most of the paid employees because I copy edit. I have to be the last person to read everything before we print. Fuck. Not to mention that I sat here for at least 2 hours with nothing to do, and I have nothing to do but wait right now. The guy whose desk is next to mine makes this hideous mouth sucking sound every 30 seconds, in between singing Coldplay songs in a high, whiny voice. Bitch bitch bitch. I'm just cranky because my back is killing me and I'm fucking starving, as usual. I've got to move out of my sister's house, I can barely stand the mess anymore. And whenever she's bored, she likes to stand in the doorway of my room and say "I'm bored." I feel like telling her to smoke a joint and shut up. I need to eat and get out of here, I'm just such a wonderful ball of negativity.

This is the first week that something I wrote will be in the paper. I am so excited. I know it's only a 400 word blurb on the Renaissance Fair, but even the best journalists had to start somewhere, am I right?

And I get free concert tickets, which ROCKS because every event in Alaska costs so much to go to.

I've been really dizzy all day. I wish the layout guys would hurry up so I had something to edit.

Giving up
05/26/2005 03:55 a.m.
I have decided to give up on the idea that I will ever successfully reach 400 comments. I have had over 400 at least twice, but then as soon as that happens, someone gets terminated and I lose more comments. I guess it doesn't really matter, it's just annoying. I've been sitting at work for the last 2 1/2 hours with nothing to do because I have to wait for everyone else to get their stuff together before I can edit it. I was told to arrive at 10am to start. This is ridiculous because no one who is formatting and putting the stuff together arrived here until at least 11:30. Yeah. So I know I'll have to stay late because we print tonight. Ohh, something's printing, maybe it's something for me to edit.



I won't hold my breath.

I fucking love my job. I never thought I would say that, especially not before I graduated. I am so glad I was pushy enough to get to work there. I'm going to see Star Wars tonight, very exciting. It HAS to be better than the first two. If Lucas made a movie worse than those, I would lose what little respect I still have for him after what I lost seeing Darth Vadar, Yoda, and Chewie in various pepsi ads.

Hurrah! A real job at last
05/19/2005 02:45 a.m.
I started copy editing for an Anchorage newspaper a few days ago. I have a job, for the first time in my life, that is actually geared toward my career goals. It's something I ACTUALLY want to do, not something I am forced to do like sling coffee drinks, answer idiotic questions, etc. I was really nervous yesterday because they are basically trying me out to see how I do before I am truly hired and out of all the pages I read yesterday, I only found maybe 2 really small mistakes. And no one wants to hire someone who isn't necessary, am I right? But today I found a lot of mistakes, a lot a lot. Mostly typos and the like, and things that were supposed to be in bold font ocassionally weren't. Everyone there is so nice, and there's a really old dog named Boozer who wanders around the office all day, that's Alaska for ya. But I love having a dog around, so it just adds to my my psychotic, grammar-correcting frenzy.

Sudden loss of comments
05/18/2005 03:40 a.m.
I finally received 400 comments, only to tracially lose enough to drop me back down to under 400. Then it went back up when some members took pity on my bitching and left some. Then it went back down to 300 and now it's 397. What's the deal? Either people keep getting terminated, or there's some new feature that let's people delete their comments.

I started my new job today. I really hope it works out. It's a real job. Something I WANT to do, not serving freaking blended drinks to bitchy moms.

Bitchy moms don't tip.

Hippie You are 42% Rational, 57% Extroverted, 42% Brutal, and 28% Arrogant.

You are the Hippie! Characterized by a strong sense of extroversion, irrationality, gentleness, and humility, you no doubt frolic through fields preaching peace and love to all! You are probably either very spiritual or needlessly paranoid about "the man", like most hippies, as a result of your focus on intuition and feelings over cold, brutal logic. You are also very, very social. And like any hippie, who would have no qualms about hitchiking across the country just to meet some interesting people, you too love to interact with others, even complete strangers. Because we know most any hippie is peace-loving and humble, it stands to reason that you, as well, are terribly gentle and humble, almost to the point of revulsion. Your carefree attitude of peace and harmony is probably very, very sickening to realists or cynics or anyone who isn't a hippie, to tell the truth. In short, your personality is defective because you are overly emotional, extroverted, gentle, and humble--thus making you an annoying hippie. And you listen to psychadelic rock and smoke a whole lot of pot. Okay, maybe not, but I wouldn't be surprised if you did. To put it less negatively: 1. You are more INTUITIVE than rational. 2. You are more EXTROVERTED than introverted. 3. You are more GENTLE than brutal. 4. You are more HUMBLE than arrogant. Compatibility: Your exact opposite is the Sociopath. Other personalities you would probably get along with are the Hand-Raiser, the Televangelist, and the Robot. * * If you scored near fifty percent for a certain trait (42%-58%), you could very well go either way. For example, someone with 42% Extroversion is slightly leaning towards being an introvert, but is close enough to being an extrovert to be classified that way as well. Below is a list of the other personality types so that you can determine which other possible categories you may fill if you scored near fifty percent for certain traits. The other personality types: The Emo Kid: Intuitive, Introverted, Gentle, Humble. The Starving Artist: Intuitive, Introverted, Gentle, Arrogant. The Bitch-Slap: Intuitive, Introverted, Brutal, Humble. The Brute: Intuitive, Introverted, Brutal, Arrogant. The Hippie: Intuitive, Extroverted, Gentle, Humble. The Televangelist: Intuitive, Extroverted, Gentle, Arrogant. The Schoolyard Bully: Intuitive, Extroverted, Brutal, Humble. The Class Clown: Intuitive, Extroverted, Brutal, Arrogant. The Robot: Rational, Introverted, Gentle, Humble. The Haughty Intellectual: Rational, Introverted, Gentle, Arrogant. The Spiteful Loner: Rational, Introverted, Brutal, Humble. The Sociopath: Rational, Introverted, Brutal, Arrogant. The Hand-Raiser: Rational, Extroverted, Gentle, Humble. The Braggart: Rational, Extroverted, Gentle, Arrogant. The Capitalist Pig: Rational, Extroverted, Brutal, Humble. The Smartass: Rational, Extroverted, Brutal, Arrogant.

My test tracked 4 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender: You scored higher than 46% on Rationality You scored higher than 56% on Extroversion You scored higher than 41% on Brutality You scored higher than 18% on Arrogance

Fabulous camping fun time
05/12/2005 12:01 a.m.
Tomorrow I am going camping for the first time since August. I am so excited. I got a bunch of junk food and beer, two college staples, and I'm heading out tomrrow with some friends. I have been dying to go camping ever since we started having record temperatures in April. So yeah, that's the plan.

Dammit, I lost two comments, now I'm back to freakin 399. It took forever to get to 400. Oh well. I'm now a member of Golden Key Honor society, I got straight As and it bumped my GPA up high enough to join, so, sweet. And I got new lenses in my glasses, finally, and I can see and don't get headaches.

Still no money-making job though.
