the things you learn

Just moved into a better, more open, bigger place. Like most apartments there is a coat closet in the entry. The front door opens into the apartment, the screen/security door opens outward, the coat closet opens out into the entry at a right angle to the front door.

My cat likes to pry open cabinets and closets to investigate the insides.

The coat closet doesn’t have a proper doorknob/latch.

I sure hope my neighbors were at Easter service and didn’t hear me swearing at my cat while I tried to figure out how she blocked me out of my own apartment.

ETA: last night she opened every cabinet at knee level and hurked orange half digested cat food in three spots (that I found). I wish she would just tell me she doesn’t like moving and get it done.

hours adding up to 3000 in just another week or so.

burnt out to the point of wanting to quit and work at Disneyland instead.

back soon.

I even have a real fic idea – perhaps I shall being writing fanfic again, perhaps I will be working up an actual novel. Hope springs eternal.

That’s good enough for me

Oh, Em, G. Does this bring back the memories of sitting there every afternoon singing along with the muppets.

great expectations

My expectations are high, Mr. Obama. I’ll be hoping you fix what that lugnut broke.

I’m crossing my fingers for you. Just keep the faith, keep going one step at a time, do what you can when you can, ignore the slander, kick the Rethuglican’s butts in the next election, and don’t lapse into status quo mode.

Go you!

Blogicide

Like all my writing, the blog has suffered greatly for the duration of my internship.

I’ve tossed around thousands of thoughts of simply terminating and storing the blog offline. Perhaps in the future a new one might pop up… perhaps I would lose myself in private offline life and disappear.

But I have this attachment to online life and to writing that I can’t deny. Just because it’s on hold doesn’t mean it’s not still there. Just because I spend days hiking around with a backpack, driving around talking to kids and families about their problems, and the rest of my time with some guy doesn’t mean the writing won’t come back.

I get the feeling these days that the bits of my life, like reading for recreational purposes and writing and posting online, might just come back once I get past those two hideous licensing exams.

Not sure why I think that.

Some Guy and I are looking at places to rent that have room for combined belongings.

I haven’t been fired. Nor have I been laid off. I’m within a couple hundred internship hours of done – I thought I was a lot closer, but it turns out my math skills are lacking (no surprise there). So more stress for more months….

So should I or shouldn’t I kill the blog? I’ll probably just leave it snoozing for a while. It works for Jemima.
