Gripping The Lever
Up until I entered college, I wanted to be a lawyer- criminal defense. It was the extensive amount of schooling and limited finances that kept me from pursuing it. I've been a card carrying Libertarian since I was of age. I pull a straight ticket as much as possible.
I was glued to the news programs about rising Nationalism in Europe's young voters… some of those candidates drawing as much as 27% in the polls! Every aspect of “the system” (both ours and others) fascinates me, even those that anger me or are tedious. I wouldn't mind being called for jury duty (I never have been in all the years I've voted), in fact, I'd rather like it. I'm involved in party outreach as well… flyering, calling, writing letters/articles, or just chatting people up… so, today is very interesting and perhaps even a bit exciting to me, although it's only a primary.
Politics and Religion are heated subjects very likely to cause scuffles. I have strong feelings in reguards to each, but today everyone is more apt to get away with expressing them. *eg*
Hello, Monday!
The weekend that seemed long, drawn out, and uneventful while in its midst, now, in hindsight, was entirely too short and I already long for another. I'm in my clothes from yesterday with the exception of clean socks and undies. I have a trace of last night's makeup left intact. I slathered on some deoderant, spritzed on loves Baby Soft, ran a comb thru my hair, grabbed my umbrella and headed out the door to catch the bus. I despise Mondays too much to care.
Maybe She is even reading this…
I am always hesitant to put any local people on my friends list, but I will chance it this time. She added me to hers. Cynic that I am, I worry that it was for the sole purpose of making fun of me. I thought she hated me. I never had a problem of any sort with her. Truthfully, I always wanted to get to know her, thought we had a lot in common, but we've never said much of anything to eachother even though we once worked in the same office and seem to know so many of the same people. I don't know how to reach out, what to say… especially to pretty girls. I'll just cross my fingers for the best this time- maybe we can be friends?!?
A HUGE Thumbsdown…
… to Epilstop. The label is misleading. It claims you can use it on sensitive areas like the bikini line, face, and where I applied it- the eyebrows. Just roll on, and wipe off. Not only does my face feel like it's been engulfed in flames, but it's red AND itchy. I cleansed and applied lotion much to my chagrin. Fook! I think I just expected too much out of this product. Back to plucking…
Well I'll be… !
“Today is a good day, but I know that you won't know. I've heard you're far too busy powdering your nose.”
I got amazing news today! I hope it's not too premature to announce… Boyfriend is the new lead geetar player with 2 of the top moneymaking acts `round these parts… the Alligator Brothers and Zannadoo! While I don't care for their genres, they ARE all very talented musicians in their own rights. They make enough to live on very comfortably from the bands alone, so this is a huge opportunity for him! It brings him several regular house gigs during the week, corporate gigs every weekend, and whatever else comes along here and there. yes, that severely slashes our alone time even more, but the estimated income [based on their current bookings] will bring in the equivalent of MY entire yearly gross! That paves the way for the hot tub, greenhouse, and new car we've been discussing, and *insert deity here* only knows what else! I'm looking on the bright side of this, and I DO honestly enjoy going to his shows… I am incredibly proud of him! Finally his ship has come in! He was the first one they called. They wanted HIM right off the bat- no audition… and they were really insistant about it! Wow, go Boyfriend!!! /end bragging ;)
