big things are afoot.
Several big things. Nothing that I'm cool with talking about on here, however. Not yet, at least.

it's all a matter of perspective, really.
Well, I spent some time last night walking around in a more literal fog (it was just sitting there in Heman Park, how could I resist?) and it was actually quite beautiful and not at all depressing to be wrapped in fog. So. There is that.

I was having such a lovely dream...
Alarm clock, you are so fired.

I have just spent a lovely evening doing laundry and making schemes. SCHEMES with Elaine. And it is a well known fact that all schemes devised with Elaine will by definition be Schemes of the Highest Quality.
It has been far too long without scheming for me. Hopefully this matter will be rectified in the future. Oh yes.

Life is pretty ok these days. I still don’t get much done that I say I’d like to, but at least I’m not so much of a hermit. I’ve actually caught myself overusing the word “fabulous” lately. I cringe when I hear myself say it, because I know I will soon strip it of all its superlative enthusiasm. But, I’m glad to be overusing “fabulous” rather than, say, “miserable” or something!

this is what I want my life to be like
This? is FANTASTIC. How can I learn to be more adept at alleviating boredom in new and unusual ways? Also, who wants to travel back in time with me? Croquet party at my place!…Anyone?

I don't know when I got so wrapped in fog. It takes so much effort to even move, these days. I make lists of things that I have to do and things that I want to do and nothing gets checked off of either list, ever.
I feel like I used to be a lot more interesting. I probably was.

huh.
Today while I was out running, some dude leaned out his car window and shouted, "BLACK POWER, WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!" at me. Poor guy, he must have been colorblind.

Just because my job hunt is over doesn't mean that the obsessive agonizing over the emails I write has gotten any better. Wouldn't want to start off on the wrong foot, would I? I'm forging Important Office Relationships! I have a Good Reputation to build up! I wouldn't want to immediately jump in and ask a bunch of stupid questions and make everyone really annoyed with me, would I?
In fact, this post is 100% funded by the Amy Is Currently Avoiding Sending A Simple Email Due To Intense And Possibly Pathological Fear Of Looking Stupid Foundation.
PS - I work here now. I like it.

ahh, rednecks
As we paddled our canoes past a group of people on the bank, I was heckled."You need to git a TAAAN, girl!"
Luckily I was able to ignore this in accordance with my personal rule: Never take fashion advice from a man wearing a Confederate flag bandana.

things to know:
Life has been crazy. I'm wrapping up the last few days of my graduate student life, trying to get things finished before I leave. I'm still mulling over job possibilities, but I don't really want to write about that stuff here until I've made a decision. I'm pretty close to a decision.Job hunting has pulled me way out of my comfort zone when it comes to making phone calls and leaving messages and stuff. I'm currently taking deep breaths and trying to figure out the most diplomatic possible way to tell one person "I definitely don't want to work for you." I should take care of that phonecall today, but I'm dragging my feet.
I've more or less sworn off of IM. I now try to use it only when it's an odd hour and I need evidence to support that a person is awake before I call them.
I REALLY wish right now that there was an Ott's in St. Louis. It was this teeny little building in Springfield, no bigger than a shack, and for a couple bucks they'd make you a take out dinner of bread sticks, tasty salad, and one of several pasta selections. Mmmmmmmmmmm.
I'm probably going to make a sparkler bomb for the 4th, as usual. If anyone wants to watch me set it off, just let me know. They're pretty sweet.
That's all for now!

I just ate the worst food I have ever made for myself. It was just a spinach salad! With black olives and tomatoes and red onion! And to make it more like a dinner, I was going to put some hard-boiled eggs on it. But I didn't cook the eggs long enough, so they were soft-boiled eggs. They probably would have been edible, but NOO, I had to go and put them in the microwave to "fix" them and then they EXPLODED and turned disgustingly RUBBERY. Grossest.
I am once again floundering and feeling completely incapable of rational decision-making processes. Lists of pros and cons of various jobs are not helping yet. Attempting to choose based on which pathway, when visualized in great detail, makes me feel the least sick to my stomach and terrified: inconclusive. All possibilities lead to feeling like I just ate rubbery eggs.

today is better because:
I didn't wake up a million times in the night.I didn't wake up crying.
I haven't cried, yet. (Although it's only 7am.)
Brooke makes me smile.
The thought of breakfast still makes me ill, but today I'm gonna eat it anyway.
Yeah that's all I got for now. Maybe I'm reaching. But hey, it's only 7am.
