God. Life is a bitch sometimes. In retrospect, it's not as painful and it's pretty easy to laugh it off.
Things are much better now, but the transition from college to "real life" was horrific. If you have recently gotten out of college or are about to, the way I see it is that you have some options when you graduate and are looking for a job. Option 1: Bitch about the economy and how you can't find a job. Option 2: Work your ass off to get the job you want. Or, the popular Option 3: Work your ass off at a job you don't necessarily love until you find said job. ...Yet there are still people that choose Option 1 and this puzzles me. These are probably the people that have no life outside of Ubersite and sit on their computer upstairs, in what I can only assume is their parent's house, dissing other people on the internet all the while thinking they are so clever and smart for doing it.
Incidentally, the upside to the shit hole economy is that my student loan interest rate is decently low now and I have a good shot at buying a house with a low interest rate, as long as I do it soon. I don't necessarily like politics, so I don't get too involved with them, but I would like to assume that the next president will have their work cut out for them and will be cleaning up the economic mess for at least another year. So I have time.
Ok. I'll stop screwing around here. I actually want to talk about some stuff, but I got on a roll here and I've been smart-assing it for several paragraphs already, which is fun, but enough.
***********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
Breaking up with people when you're older is more difficult, in my opinion. My boyfriend and I have only been together for a little over 6 months, but overall, I despise him. Things get bad, things get better.
I think that when you're younger, you tell yourself things like "if it didn't work out, then it wasn't meant to be," as if it actually means something, just because it sounds like it does. I think the only way you can be so dismissive and say something like that is because you expect to stumble onto something just as wonderful down the road. But you get older and you learn that people are unique and rare and just because everyone else in the world lives a life full of goodbyes doesn't mean you shouldn't at least realize what it really means to say goodbye to something that meant everything to you (at one point or another). Just because you'll get over it and you will survive doesn't mean you should let it go.
It's also much more difficult when you know that the other person really cares about you. My guilt kicks in. I have problems in relationships... of all kinds.
My problem has never been a lack of people who cared for me; my problem has been coming up with whatever it takes to give two shits about anyone else.
Actually, that's not really true either. It sounded clever but it's not really true. I was trying to say I have trouble caring about other people and I just said it in a stupid way, especially because carelessness isn't really the thing either. I do care. I care a lot. I care about my family and friends and how they're doing. And I care about whether they're happy or sad or whether there's anything they need or anything I can do to help. I care about a lot of stuff. I don't have a problem with that kind of caring.
The kind of caring that I have a major problem with is the caring that involves feeling connected to people. It's supposed to be a more consistent thing for people and it really comes and goes for me.
I'm a little worried about some friends and family of mine. Some of them are having a hard time right now and there's nothing I can do to help. Although some of my family needs and could use my help, they are refusing to even acknowledge that they need to receive it. But I guess the truth is that there's nothing anyone can really do to help their friends and family sometimes, except just be there for them and be a friend. Sometimes that's hard to accept and realize that you have done all you can do to help, or at least offer your help. It's just weird because I'm usually the mess, but I feel good these days.
My new job is going well, I'm making plans for grad school, and I just feel ok. It's not like I'm a poster child for emotional stability or anything, but...I still feel okay. I would be better if I didn't worry.
So what's new with you, Uber? It's been awhile. Give me the scoop. Did I miss anything noteworthy?

oh noes pwnd by a lonely, alien-eyed femmo tubby. argh 'angst'. that aside strawb, berries come in all shapes and sizes over here and quite possibly so in your country. We have mulberries, they're tasty but much more fun to throw at people in a star of david staining fashion, we mostly throw them at indigenous kiddies but only because they're easy targets what with their petrol habit and all - you can line those shoeless fuckers up good on a sunny day even in the twilight, but mostly around noon.
We like them but they occassionally get a bit highbrow with who owns what. then SMACK YOU GOT A MULBERRY STAIN FAG and it's on. good times.

Erm, I *was* being serious.
As long as you can pay for the mundane stuff (vaccination/vet fee's/dog sitting if you holiday) I rather think the focus and having someone depend on you will be beneificial.
You say you spend a lot of time not doing much.
You could adopt one from the pound. Train it, takie it jogging, meet other doggy lovers.
Or just lapse back into your old ways, neglect it until it eats it's own poop and dump it somewhere half starved in a urine soaked box.

okay, now to the nuts and bolts. Age, or time in your case delivers a cold hard notice, there's no real point in hooking up just to have someone to argue with about the television remote, you've been there and would rather be alone - once fooled twice shy.
So you potter about with your benchmark held on high, douches and dipweeds come and go, say "heyyyyyyyyyyy look it's a limbo bar" when really it's a benchmark, you grimace and even if they have a nice arse figure that ghey windows solitaire or awesome Id doom 3 are preferable. You worry that life's passing you by but at the same time think I'm not ever going to mess this up again. Ever. So you wait, and wait, and wait and wait and wait - watch workmates, friends, family members go from one relationship to another and frown at the senselessness and frivolity of it all. You feel detached and indifferent but you still worry that your sister in law is going to blow her retinas out by holding in her sneezes, don't know how to approach your father in law about possibly having an operation for that snoring problem he has, they can fix that you know so his palate doesn't vibrate and cause him to clot in his brain - you've seen how your kids dote on him and he should at least have the grace, private health cover and common decency to pay the excess for what's all intents and purposes a day surgery procedure to prolong his life, god dammit even YOU like him he shouldn't be such an arse - but you don't really like anybody.
And quite frankly it's because you're annoyed. Your idiot friend says HEY STRAWBERRY COME AND MEET MY NEW BOYFRIEND and you're like jesus christ Marcy are you a fucking idiot?? Do you like EVERYBODY you meet?? How many mr RIGHTS are there in the same square 15 fucking miles???
marcy shrugs and sips her stupid fucking house white.

----------------------------------
Don't you think this is odd?
You have swapped one stereotype, the drunk, for another social cliche, the health freak.
It starts with jogging, soon you'll be eating seeds, nut and pulses, and swallowing vast amounts of vitamin supplements. You'll attend yoga classes and do squash fiday nights with a middle aged fitness addict named Roy.
No one can ever just 'be themselves', we all have to fit into some socially excepted category - the drunk, the slut, the freeloader, the workaholic.
You'll have just swapped one addiction for a slightly more socially accepted addiction.
With your jogging, you just started the route to being pigeon holed with Oathy.

Hello Miss Berry!
Danger Ranger does not need strawberries because he is a robot. All that happens is he will mush the strawberries and then they will leak out of his oral socket.

I'm rating you exclusively on you having strawberry in you name, that and I like you and I have a strawberry tale to tell.
Last week, this street urchin taps on the frame of my office door as I'm holding my mouse mid-air trying to beat my best score on apollo's dumb plane game, pokes his head around the corner in his grimey moth eaten sweater and with a half cardboard carton of strawberry punnets asks "do you want some strawberries?, they're fresh and organic."
"Excuse me" I say, "how did you get here?"
"I followed the hallway. These strawberries are freshly picked - just this afternoon."
I placed my mouse down and in my peripheral vision noticed apollo's paper plane land on the floor. god DAMMIT. "STAY RIGHT THERE EDDIE VEDDER" I yelled as he stepped inside the door, "that filing cabinet's locked! You've got a damned cheek coming in here this is a retail business and you're trying to sell US something!"
"dude they're strawberries. I've got five punnets left if you don't want any I'll just go sell the rest at the water cooler."
"people are buying them at the water cooler?"
"It's a fucking hotbed man. I've got orders for the next three weeks. One girl even asked if I'd sell cream."
"she did NOT."
"Same girl that said 'go ask the old guy in the last office. He's uptight so knock before you just go waltzing in'. Strawberries will make you look younger you know. What game is that?"
"BACK! BACK HIPPIE IT'S WORK RELATED!! I DON'T LIKE STRAWBERRIES!"
"okay. who's office is nextdoor?"
"the bosses why?"
and now I have a lot of strawberries. I've embellished a bit but the upshot is I have a lot of strawberries. grimey hippy strawberries.

I think that's the biggest thing, "look, guys, she doesn't think I'm the BIGGEST tool!"

Well, no, but marriage doesn't help at all either. It's nice to know, however, that you have someone there to tell you what to do 24/7. I mean, really...who wants to be in a position to decide something for himself.
Okay...I'm going to get really drunk.

Hey, Miss Berry. Good to have you back. I don't play around much here anymore, myself. Busy. Which is something you should consider: the more degrees you get, the less time and sex you'll have. Fuck. I'm going to get drunk.

I KNOW you care about ME and what I'VE been up to. If you must know, I worked all day to finish a project...except for a 10 minute break to read and review Jack's stupid post. It's Saturday. I do not like working Saturday. Here's an email I just wrote:
Okay, Loca.
I took the initiative to finish the posters. I want to get drunk tonight, and didn't want to work on them tomorrow. And...I've got moxie, like Katherine Hepburn or something. Or Orson Welles...before he got ridiculously obese. I read that he used to eat a whole chicken for dinner regularly. I have a cookbook written by one of his personal chefs. It's really good. "Charles Virion's French Country Cooking" it's called. I've also had a lot of coffee.
Anyway, I've attached pdf's of the damned things. There are two. They are set to print at 36 x 48 inches, which is a good size I think. Please review and let me know if you have any suggestions. If not, would you care to put them on a cd and take them to Kinko's? I suggest seeing how they print out first as 36 x 48's first, though. I'm a bit worried about resolution. (There's a bit of white on the top and the bottoms, but fuck it.)
Hope you had a lovely evening.
Oh yeah...you owe me big time. I'll settle for a pound of flesh. That's from The Merchant of Venice. The recent version with Al Pacino is pretty awful, which is a shame, because I've seen Pacino do good Shakespeare. "Searching for Richard" I think it was. That's Richard III, not Richard II, who was gay.

I hope you enjoyed this as much as you have enjoyed my reviews in the past. Glad to hear you're doing better, which isn't actually true...per se (that is...it's not as though I'm unhappy that you're doing better)...but it seemed like a nice thing to say. Ta.
