Yeah, most ppl in a small city prefer the big city because it has a lot more to offer. I agree, the city does have a lot to offer, but as far as the peeps are concerned, it has shit to offer. My ideal location would be in a small town (like kalimazoo) thats CLOSE to a big city. That way, I can have my cake and eat it too. smile

Current mood: Thinking about Chicago

I had a dream last night in which I took my old library job back. I was working with the same people, along with a newcomer. I remember shelving books and clearing tables as if no time had passed.

Truthfully, that's how it would be. I still remember where everything goes, where every letter...

I wish I could remember my dreams. Dreams are cool. I rarely ever remember dreams I've had, if I do, it's only for a short time.

Okay.

Stopping my anti-depressant the week before PMS hit probably wasn't the best idea in the world. The re-calibration of seratonin combined with the upswings and downswings in hormones made for a fury this past weekend. My PMS usually makes me borderline suicidal ... I just want to hide in my room away from the world, but not this time. I wanted to take the...

My chickie and I were in an anatomy museum and there was a torso of a woman opened up with all the parts spread out and plasticised so it looked like an explosion. Sitting undisturbed in the pelvis was the uterus, an organ neither she nor I had ever seen before, and which she found far too small for all the trouble it caused. I think she expected something like a skull, complete with a leering grin.

It looks like I'll be graduating on time, and I don't even have to cram in any extra credits. This makes me Very Happy indeed.

My roommate graduates a couple of months later - a month before our lease is up - so we're set there too.

I love when things work out. smile

For those wondering, I'm studying Literature and History. After graduation, I'm moving...

There are chapter books aimed at adults. They're published by Penguin and they target mature ESL students. Generally, they're either abridgements of popular novels (Grisham and the like) or celebrity bios. Not heavy fare, but the kind of thing to draw in a developing reader with a passion for narrative.

I'll pull up a few ISBNs at work tomorrow.
syh:
That is a pretty cool idea.

Just one question: Where do tech manuals fit in your scheme? biggrin wink

My friend canceled our dinner date for this evening. This makes me a bit happy since I really need to clean my bedroom and do laundry.

NoPantsDave, ilovewhisker, and I went to Olive Garden for dinner last night, and then we watched Donnie Darko at my place. My roommate went to bed early, so we moved the conversation to Dave's place. He lives...

I almost made a HUGE mistake yesterday. Thank heavens for my brain and balls kicking in when I needed them.

I'm looking forward to the SGCanada Prom, held in Toronto on 15 May. I need to find a dress in late April. I hope to be twenty pounds lighter by then.

Dogslife wrote me a beautiful testimonial. I can't stop reading it. He's so eloquent...

Need the nearly made mistake remain secret?

1. No different from any other day, actually.

2. Cherry Coke. I'm addicted, actually.

3. I'm not a desert fan. But my grandmother makes a cheesecake that's quite amazing.
baka_amerikanjin:
1. I do absolutely jack during the day. Then I watch the Simpsons, Sopranos and Adult Swim

2. Beer!, wine, Irish coffee and dry vodka martinis

3. Oreo cheescake or milkshake

You may be surprised to know that I'm actually extremely shy in person.

I just hide it so well that most people can't tell.

This, from the person who has so many friends on SG and talks so much.

Interesting, eh?

And now you know.

And knowing is half the battle.

omg, you are too sweet for words, thank you so much for what you said in my journal abt my set smile Im glad u enjoyed it! blush
creamygoodness:
I used to be extremely shy myself. I was always the quiet guy in the pub who never said very much. I still am now and again, perticularly with new people or people I don't know so well, lots of uncomfortable silences. Things is, once I started spending time online and the persona of the suave, debonair ladie's man with a killer wit you see before you came about, I just kind of slipped into it wink
