Blech.

Life sucks:

Everyone's bouncy and happy and relatively successful...except me. I serve no higher purpose. I have no job. I don't know what in the hell I am doing at seminary besides having fun (most of the time). Teresa-san obviously isn't interested. It's not as cold, but is now snowing instead of being frigid. I tried to dye my hair and failed. Spending money I don't have on stuff I don't need.

...I need something. Any suggestions?

Get published. In something. Anything. It could be a scathing rant in "Cat Fuckers Weekly" for all it really matters; you just need a boost. You're a really good writer; there's got to be some small-time pub you could get something in without that much effort.

Other suggestions:
Get really drunk or stoned with friends and MST anything from CNN to awful movies. MTV is also fun.

Go to one of the many, many, many free penpal sites online and get a penpal from, like, Zimbabwe or something.

Check out globalfreeloaders.com and plan your next trip to Haiti, Afghanistan, Japan, or New Zealand. Or pretty much anywhere else.

Read the memories at http://www.livejournal.com/userinfo.bml?user=poorinmpls for some great work-at-home job ideas, nifty things you can do for cheap, and possibly social interaction. *loves that community*

Scout thrift shops for bizarre shit and sell it on eBay.

Make a wall of "magnetic" poetry out of a yard or two of felt, smaller bits of felt, and fabric paint.

Try food that you've never tried before, just because you're in the city and you can.

Sew cool patches on thrift store jeans and sell them to gullible teenyboppers.

Make a Dubya Dartboard and have a small party themed around it.

Find out if the Minnesota Women's Press needs writers/researchers/reviewers/anything. They're an awesome publication.

Cut all the eyes out of the models in an issue of Vogue...and put random things behind them. It's creepy, but strangely satisfying.

Mod-podge things. It's addictive.

Look at jobs you might not have considered before -- wouldn't it be cool to be a sex-shop cashier who moonlights as a librarian? Think of the book possibilities! Slashed! The story of a mild-mannered, yaoi-writing sex-shop cashier by day...who transforms into *STAMP! library stamp thumps down on page, followed by cracking whip* THE PAGEMISTRESS by night! Harlequin Romance novel writers, beware, THE PAGEMISTRESS has your number!

I'll try to think of more, later. But Play-Doh is always good. Just, um, not to eat.

*ROTFLMFAO*

I love you. <3 <3 <3 ---\--@
Forget David. Marry me. >;P

I'm actually trying to get published, but I haven't heard anything back yet, and I do understand the turn-around time... *sigh* I've been waiting to write anything new on my new computer, but since the Niiku-tachi (Jenny and Owen, the nerd-geeks=neek) fried my new motherboard and possibly the processor, and Jen still hasn't done anything with it...

Minnesota Women's Press always seeme to have both editorial and photography interships availible, both of which I'd love, but I'm not sure if I have the time to do that and take four graduate level seminary classes next semester. I should still look into it. I've been meaning to for a while.

I've also been wanting to work at a sex-toy shop since spring. I should see if SexWorld's hiring.

Thankies for the interesting linkage. Will check it out.

Thank you so much for the much needed support and inspiration. I miss you so much! I should call you (like I said I would and then didn't 'cause I'm a moron). *HUGS*

:P Get on IM some time.

Hey, I need a place to put my weirdness. I'm leaking it messily all over the place this semester, what with having two writing classes.

Oh! And *here's* one... >=D Jenny and I...like...on crack. And you're mentioned.

Come to think of it, maybe it should be, ...THE PAGEMISTRESS has your ISBN!!!"
