Online Dating Sites
I feel like some of the dudes I’m being matched with instantly get archived because they remind me of one of my brothers. I have six brothers! I don’t want to be mean and just archive guys straight away without taking an effort into looking into their profile, but sometimes I get that ICK factor straight away.
DAMN YOU, PARENTS! WHY SO MANY BROTHERS!?

eHarmony
I filled out the questionnaire on eHarmony and am seriously thinking about buying a subscription to review my matches. You see, EH doesn’t allow you to see pictures of those you’re compatible with until you fork over $60 a month. That’s a lot of money for a broke individual as myself. I’m trying to rationalize paying that much money by saying that I’m “investing...
Social Experiments
Today, at my Blockbuster job, I did two experiments to which I hypothesized the good in people by creating a scenario to which my co-worker would be proven wrong. She stated the ubiquitous “Give an inch, take a mile” philosophy that tends to overcome the general population when it comes to deals and sales. Blockbuster is closing so I told a customer she could go through the racks and...
I Cloned My Pet
I watched this TLC show tonight and I bawled through out most of it. I know people watched it and saw these obsessed animal lovers, but I saw them as people like me who would do anything for their pup. At one point of the people featured was watching as his puppies cloned from his dog were being born, and all between gasping breaths of crying I totally felt his pain. I know my roommates...

what is this?
I’m in a situation right now where a certain amount of stasis is taking place. I just want to scream and argue, but an unspoken truce occurred somewhere. Everything went back to how it was before the fighting started, but now I’ve become uncomfortable with this awkwardness that comes with two people ignoring what’s on the tips of their tongues; instead, they’re opting to act like nothing is wrong....
Merry Christmas!
I can gripe about holiday consumerism all day, claim I should be able to open my presents early because I don’t believe in Jesus, and I can tell people I have no real love for Christmas at all… But every year I catch myself watching 24-hours of A Christmas Story; all the holiday episodes of Friends, Family Matters, and King of the Hill; and yesterday, I caught myself watching unboxing...
This Job Sucks
I’ve been told by nearly every customer I approach and every co-worker I’ve ever had, that I’m the sweetest person they’ve ever met. I go out of my way to be nice to people, to make sure they’re finding everything alright, etc. But for some reason my manager seems to have made it his duty to be the most fucking-asshole to me. I drove home tonight in tear because he...
Work
I’ve been having a hard time at work lately. Maybe its the stress of Finals week or the constant gnawing feeling in my chest from the realization that my “future” is two weeks away. My manager has begun a tirade against me. He constantly degrades me every chance he gets and generally makes me feel like shit. He’s already driven one of the other female co-workers out but...
manic muse: THIS BLOG IS NOT RON PAUL FRIENDLY. →
paxamericana:
Ron Paul wants to define life as starting at conception, build a fence along the US-Mexico border, prevent the Supreme Court from hearing cases on the Establishment Clause or the right to privacy, permitting the return of sodomy laws and the like (a bill which…
As a student who’s been stopped by Ron Paul supporters as I walk to get Subway at my campus center,...

Gift ideas?
My roommate came by my room last night and asked me if the ex-BFF are on speaking terms. The question blindsided me a bit, and I told her the gist: “I talk to him but it’s still very awkward… And I still have a lot of animosity towards that fucking asshole.” Turns out, she was just wondering if we should mail our Christmas presents to him together or separately. Oh. I...
Busy Busy.
Been spending most of my days in class, and then spending my nights working till the wee morning. Having my time scheduled so rigid (it’s tough to find an even balance between school and work schedules) has been making me pretty flaky lately. I don’t have much time to do most of the things I’ve been so accustomed to doing in my free time. I haven’t sculpted a thing, written...

So, I get this letter as I’m skyping with the dude I wrote it about… Hmmm…
________________________
Dear FutureMe,
It’s four days past your 26th birthday and you’re feeling pretty shitty about what occurred over the past year. You fell in love with a boy who then assured you that although he loved you too, he loved you like a family member. Not the same way you...

Hung out with my favorite four-year old the other day. She gave me a nickname; I am now called “Fire Alley.” In turn, I gave her an even more awesome name: “Sesame Street”.
Pics of Fire Alley & Sesame Street to come!
Ladies, what is my problem?
I’ve drafted my last email to this one dude who, very brutally, told me that although I was his best friend I did not compare to his lesbian ex-girlfriend (that’s right!)… and began to list the ways in which he found me unattractive!
Did I mention how it took six months of still being friends with this fucker until we had reached such a pinnacle in our fighting that I finally...
Update
Life has been tough these past few months and I’m ready to make some drastic changes. Graduation is around the corner, and so is that anxiety about what to do with a Bachelors in English and $45k in student debt.

Web Designers?
Anyone know of someone who can design my wordpress layout and code it? I’m pretty poor and can only offer a modest $50 for it (through paypal).
Any help would be much appreciated.
Bitches Be Horror-ble
I wrote a very soulful email the other day and have yet to receive a response. Every moment that goes by I’m getting more and more pissed off that he hasn’t answered me back…. and then I realize I’m totally the poltergeist in Stir of Echoes.
Now if I can only terrorize that bitch with the power of my mind, all will be well.

If I could show you the disaster area of my room I would. The furniture is all over the room. Anything touching the walls has been moved in, and any knick-knacks that had stored on said furniture have now found themselves on the floor.
I was sitting here, laughing, watching Reservoir Dogs for the upteenth time, when I notice something small, grayish brown, walking slowly near my bed, less than a...
Here it is:
Here’s the letter I wrote myself on May 7, 2007. I received it a year later:

Hey you!
Dear FutureMe, I hope you’re having a fun time where you are right now. At this moment, May 6th 2007, all you have in front of you is a list of goals. Currently, you’re working diligently to make those goals reality, and I commend you for that. I want...
Epiphany Moment, You Guys!
Back when I was interning at a local film festival, I felt like I was the glue that held up my department together. I was amazing at my job, assisting the Programming Coordinator— I did what I was told, made snide comments, took the fall some times — so much so, that my boss would often tell me how great I was as a sidekick. I accented his Main Character status with lunch runs and...

I am watching Post Grad because a certain someone acts in it. I am watching this horrible movie so I can convince myself that Zach Gilford DOES NOT look like him!
It’s a losing game.
Afterthoughts: This movie sucks so much ass. I would not recommend it to anyone. Zach Gilford isn’t in it enough and Alexis Bledel is annoying.
Whenever I find myself completely without a sense of purpose, I turn to the only thing that can refocus my perception— Cosmo.
I just read, front to cover, the Hot issue; accumulating to the horoscopes, which coincidently is describing my zodiac sign (with a very cute Mila Kunis representing the sign). I like to think of myself as a free-thinker; someone whom will break boundaries and go...
Post
I recently read a post on Tumblr to which someone said to the writer, “You need love.” That got me thinking. And then, low and behold, a few posts down on my dashboard was a quote from someone that said (paraphrasing here), “Love is a feeling of anxiousness of another person’s well-being.” Now, these two posts really struck a cord with me because I’ve been going...
horrible bosses
Saw this movie today. I had high hopes for it but ultimately it fell short. It was rather more of a disappointment than anything and I’m sorry to say that Ebert has lead me astray too many times. Ebert said this film was great; I beg to differ.
My face is sunburnt.
