Yay, oh yay for employment! I found a job today! It's a part-time, somewhat spotty sounding type of job, but work nonetheless. And, as a wonderful ego boost, I was hired on the spot. No waiting for phone calls and worrying about the interview, I have a job! Ahh...now only a few more days til I get my check from my last job, then I...

So, the party this weekend was fun. i love outdoor/camp out gatherings. I don't know how long I stared at the fire, but it was great. And I had a chance to talk and have one of teh best conversations ever with my boyfriend. I haven't laughed so hard in months. He's great.

A few highlights of the weekend:

Enough people that I knwo came...

I got so angry at my boyfriend today. He was supposed to play at a show for our music collective, but had to work til ten. It kinda sucks that he didn't practice at all for this show, but whatever. So, I get to his job to bring his to the cafe at 10 15, like he asked, and he doesn't come out. I waited...

I don't have to work a shitty job, sucking up to people I don't like, an dI have time to read. On the other hand, if I dont'...

So, it's been a bit of a busy week. I quit my job canvassing cause I felt bad shamelessly asking people for money, even if it was for a good casue. The people I worked for were also kinda creepy. A little too constantly chipper. And one of them ahda really bad nervous twitch. So, I'm done with that. I interviewed at a School Uniform...

No one likes a cubicle and you can rant all you want but when the rent is due, what the hell else is there? A cubicle? a retail job? custmer service rep? I mean ya gotta live.

or...

You can find something you love doing and do it on your own. That's tough too tho.....getting work, getting paid, office space, etc.

There is no easy answer.

Blah. So, I was having a fun day today. Work was kind of annoying cause i had to be early again, and i went to a shitty neighborhood where the people were mostly overly-wealthy assholes. But, I did get free pizza and beer and had really cool conversations with the people I work with so, it made up for it. It's really great to work...

Wow, I am tired. I just started a new job this week and worked for 12 hours today. I'm not used to this sort of exertion. Sure, it was because I was doing well and they are offering me a slightly higher position, so i need to bit mroe training. but i'm fucking tired. riding my bike back home after five hours of walking around...

So, Infected Mushroom was not quite as good as I was expecting. I still love thier music, but I'm just not so into being packed in a room when I'm listening to music I would like to dance to. A lot of people seemed to like it, but I guess I grew out of having fun at rave parties. I got really annoyed at the...

Infected Mushroom is today! smile

You may be asking yourself, just who is Infected Mushrooom? Well, they are only the best goa/psytrance in the world right now! At least in my opinion. I"ve been waiting for months to see them. It'll be a somewhat strange show. I hear it's in a somewhat sketchy location and there will be a ton of people there. I'm not used...

Grr...fighting with people is no fun. Especially people who think that they are worthless and won't listen to anything that would suggest otherwise. Fortuantly, I am a lot better at handling those situations and just stop fighting.

I made a really tastey salad last night and ate it in the back yard with my friends. I'm slowly but surely learning how to cook.

Hmm...I have...

Driving down the interstate all night with no other cars on the road is an interesting experience. The car feels so lonely engulfed in blackness, with the headlights a weak, almost desperate fight against the vast emtiness of pregnant nothingness. I've always been a fan of it. Dawn this morning in Southern Oregon as we were driving back from SF was beautiful, the fog covered...
