It's finally getting kind of cold. Today I woke up and the sky was gray. It makes me sad, but it's a resigned sort of sad. It had to happen eventually. Some day when I'm a successful artist, I'll have two homes so that I can always live where it's summer time.
I've been trying to do more art lately, but I get frustrated with... Read More
Yes.. yes I knew that about the postage because I bought sqaure Christmas card one year. Interestingly without the extra postage it MIGHT go through. It all depends on whether the machine kicks it out or not. About 50% of mine made it the others were returned and I added more postage and resent them.
So the extra is for the labor required when it cannot be processed by the mail sorting machines.
1) Put your music player on shuffle

We have this pretty little fireplace in our lovely living room, so we decided, since it's started to get cold, to buy some logs and light a fire. Well. I don't know what's wrong, but eventhough the flu (sp?) is open, there was some smoke and it set off one of the fire alarms. And then, the not-log that we bought because nowhere sells real...

you want my firestarter tips? Well first the flue goes both ways right? So there is a lot more pressure coming down the flue than up when you start... so the best thing is to light some newspaper and put it up the flue a bit and that will start the airflow going up and out instead of all the cold air pushing down... which can force your little log to push all the smoke into the living space. fun!
Then yes... mmmm glue lam logs! Such a nice headache if it comes into the room instead of up and out. Lucky you darling.
As for the MB test... all of mine were very strongly one direction or the other so I that is probably why they intepreted it to be that I have always been the way I am to a lesser or greater extent. There was nothing even remotly close to the center line for me.
I feel kind of like I'm wasting time. I don't feel like I have enough hours in the day to get things done (a common thing), and beyond that, I have a hard time making myself do things. I found a slip of paper from the beginning of September with a bunch of goals on it for that month. I think I had like 7... Read More
I was given the impression that these codes are kind of hard wired and don't generally change based on life experience. it may influence but not move them much.
My numbers came out real strong as ENTP and my interests were all over the board. The counselor was saying he rarely see's someone with so much color across the interests spectrum.
also I saw something online about INFJ's being a good match for ENTP's.
Sometimes, late at night, I begin to think like a girl. You know. Things like marriage and children and pregnancy. But I never manage to do it "right". If I think about weddings and marriage, I begin to wonder about the practicality of, say, wedding rings. So I do research on line for hours trying to find (a) a website even worth looking at, and...

I hardly let myself think it; it sounds so trite, so childish, so self-involved and pretentious. But even after admitting all of those things, it's still true. I am so tired of death.
It happens every once in a while. Your grandfather gets ill and slowly, slowly, he dies. It's as though the whole process is being played out at half speed. Less. Those last... Read More
Something to brighten my days. Who knew job hunting was so much work! Sheesh!
Job search is going okay so far. Two interviews so far, one I am really interested in (even if they did move the dang job from downtown portland to vancouver.. uggghhh) and one I am not sure how interested I am in it.
I spammed out the resume to 6 other jobs yesterday so I am going to sit and see if any of those come back anytime soon. The one I am the most interested in is at OHSU, great pay and great pension plan and easy commute. Holy Nirvana!!
I made good money before that is for sure. I do not need to make that much again but I probably need to make at least 74K at a minimum. Even at that I would be keeping my eyes out for something a bit better or with a better bonus. I am happy to be out of there but I seriously having trouble finding the right positions.
Slowly, my sources of money are diminishing. And it follows then, that money is also diminishing. And there are all these things I need to do with money. Asside from the very mundane "rent" and "loan payments", I need to buy a yoga mat and a 70's costume so that I can go to a bus party. These are very important things.
The moon is covered in rust and blood. The moon is hot iron. I pretend I'm sober while driving and insist I watch the road and not the moon, although she seems to come closer to me every moment. As though she is a product of man, a landmark, huge and gaudy, she grows and rises, her curves become more defined, her color more brilliant... Read More
Sometimes life is a little boring. But I might have a low paying job if I can work it into my schedule of things. i'd have more hours and the base rate of pay would be a dollar an hour higher here than at the place i want to be working... but i really want to work there.... so we'll simply have to see.
