The Big Girl World is Lame

I have been alone in this house for weeks now. I dread the day when I have my very own place and this being alone thing becomes permanent. It is really no fun to cook for just one and to pace around with nothing to do! What the hell will life be like when I'm not surrounded by friends all day long? I spend various parts of my day in classes, and the rest is spent hanging out with a raucous group of amazing people in the SGA office. In the evenings, I hang out with the Cookes (dear God, let's not get started on what I will do when I can't just walk over to their place whenever I'm bored) or enjoy some quiet Suz time in my room at home. My goodness, I can't wait for school to start again so I can restart my routine! I just don't know what people do when they're "real" adults. They work and go home. Maybe they go out on weekends, but sheesh, who do they watch American Idol with? What do they do with all the leftovers inevitably created by cooking for one? Gosh, this is scary; especially since I've been job searching and finding next to nothing in the Dayton area. What will I do if I have to move to some location where I know no one, and work in a place with mostly older people (like 60% of nonprofit employees are Baby Boomers)? Ugh, it's a frightening thought. I've never had to find friends before. Through school, I've always been surrounded by hundreds of people my age. Oh well, it's silly to whine about it now.

I wonder how many of you readers received my Barack Obama rebuttal email? I was sick of that total made up crap about a presidential candidate, so I made my own thruthful email about him. I don't want to be misunderstood here: I am a Barack Obama supporter; however, had I gotten a similar email about presidential candidate, Democrat, Republican or Independent, I would have done the same research and sent out a very similar email. Let's face it: Americans are L-A-Z-Y folks. I shudder to think of how many people read that email and took it for truth without doing any research. I'm not going to get too preachy, but hey...it is my blog, haha! Just please research your candidates. If you're a registered member of a party, please research candidates of both parties. Although voting straight-ticket is a reliable way to vote if you're just concerned with basic principles and ideas, it's a good idea to check out who is running, what they stand for, what they have done and will do, and who they support. Remember that you're voting for many more people that just the president - think of how many people are appointed after a new president is in office! Try to watch news reports from at least 3 different news channels. They're all biased in some way. Although I am madly in love with Keith Olbermann, he is VERY liberal, and I understand that his spin on the news is not entirely reliable. Consequentially, I suffer through Jim Lehrer's boring ass and Lou Dobbs, who is possibly the whiniest man on television, haha.

Ok, I'm beginning to annoy myself with all this preaching.


Love and respect,
