what a weekend. eric and i had a big talk and things between us are cooling off a bit. we're going to be living in different cities again. we need to get our lives in order. there is other stuff to tend to. still, he is the one person who loves me unconditionally and with all of his being. and i love him. so whatever happens, it's okay. anyway, i have lots of cool links to put up here. today was a virtual smorgasboard of weird web stuff. there's zefrank.com, which is pretty fucking hilarious.
also, check out gloom county, a goth parody of bloom county. wonderful. there's also psychoexgirlfriend.com, if you're feeling especially pithy.
this is a cool blog called serendipity. i discoverd that there is also a new john cusack (!!!) flick coming out by the same name.
sophie from rmta has a well-written journal.
this is ridiculous. i am so tired of xian hatemongering. i should send this to these it'snotgay.com idiots.
i'll be contributing to this feminist site soon.
that should keep ya surfing for awhile. heh.

there is nothing worse than waking up to the sound of your mother crying. i went to the coffeejob interview. the guy was smarmy in a woody allen way. they could have been brothers. he didn't call me back on wednesday evening with a decision, but he didn't call at all, so i guess i didn't get it. oh well. i got a lead on a job with rj reynolds, going to bars and clubs and giving out free cigarettes. blegh. i don't wanna work for them, but hey, i need a job right now. i could do it for a few weeks. i'm good at shooting the shit. i need a bartending job, dammit!
today is my one-year anniversary with eric. wow.

grr. blogger dropped my last post. :( i called about an ad in the paper today. it's a coffeejob (tm), but it pays well and it's full-time. we'll see. i'm kinda holding out for the library gig.
roll over.

i'm having really weird (but good) thoughts. i'd feel good if my stomach wasn't nervous and my head didn't ache. so many thoughts running through my cranium. my head swims. "at my precious forget-me-not."

run, DO NOT WALK, to your nearest record store and buy "some stupid with a flare gun" by the ass ponys. you will not be sorry. when their new cd "lohio" comes out in early june, you will have to do the same. rinse lather repeat. you will hate yourself forever if you don't buy these two cds. (and i'm not just saying this 'cos i'm new friends with chuck. ;p)
i went back to lexington on saturday morning, after spending most of the evening at the southgate house. seeing the songwriter's local 409. it was a group of local songwriter's doin' their songs acoustically. it was really neat. anyway, i drove home around 7am, wired and excited. i got back to lex to find eric in my bed, which was a great thing.
i came back to cincinnati on sunday afternoon. went to york st. for more local songwriters. almost 20 of 'em! damn, that's a lot. hung with chuck. drank a lot. had a good time. saw my old friend tess. bummed a couple of smokes. fun was had by all.
i faxed my resume to the cincinnati public library today. they have a public services assistant position open, which is basically assisting patrons and the professional librarians as well. i called to follow up and make sure they got my resume, and the really nice woman told me that there were no other (internal or external) candidates for the position. so that's a good sign. i might be the only one up for it, so they gotta hire me. heh. right.
brandon sent me this link for psycho ex-girlfriend voicemails. heh.
puffy's having a hard time getting over jlo. this is my favourite quote:
``For me, it was the most energy I gave to a relationship. Sometimes, when two people get together, you feel a certain type of spark that's like, 'Yo!'''
yeah, i know what you mean, puffy.

cell phones suck. chuck and i were supposed to have coffee at this time last night, but we missed each other, 'cos my stupid cell phone battery died and he couldn't get me. by the time he went to kaldi's to meet me, it was closed and i'd already given up and driven home. feh. i should have just hung out on the street once the place closed, but i'm stupid. i told myself i'd be in bed tonight before 2am. i hope i can actually do that. i'm so used to being awake all night now. i'm more productive at night, i think.
there isn't much to say right now.
oh wait. you know what i really hate? i really hate when people lump me in with "treehugging hippies." i do have a streak of idealism, but i'm also a realist. probably more so than the people who criticise me. it makes me really frustrated to try and communicate my opinions with someone who is obviously not listening. *sigh*

i'm a suck-ass updater these days. sowwie. (and happy belated may day/beltane to you!) anyway, here's the lowdown, numbered for your convenience:
1) i am not staying in lexington. lexington sucks. i'm sick of living there.
2) i am moving back to cincinnati. yay! hooray! the job market here is a million times better than in lex. and i just miss everything here. i'm going back to uc, i guess. ;)
3) eric and i are still together. it's been a really trying time. but it's getting better. we have a lot of love between us, and i have to have faith that it will keep us together. the distance will help. we both have a lot we need to do, on our own.
i am currently in cincinnati. i'm looking for a job. i'm getting a cell phone tomorrow to help the process. how odd. i so did not want to join the cell-phone club, but oh well. i have to do it.
i think i'm having coffee with chuck from ap tomorrow night. wahoo!
what else...? hmm. there are so many interesting things i could blog about, but i have no energy right now. later. tomorrow. now - zzzz.

i just got some groceries. ah, it is a nice feeling to have food in my fridge. upon trying to put them in the fridge, i figured out that i was going to have to defrost the goddamned freezer AGAIN. gotta talk to the landlord about it. it's pissing me off. i hope all this food doesn't go bad... something cute happened at the grocery store. when i got into my lane, i chatted a bit with the chick wringing up my groceries. "gimme one reason" by tracey chapman came on the radio and she turned it up. there were about five people singing along to the radio, kroger people and people waiting in line. it was a happy singing-along bonding kind of moment. heh.
