weak and powerless

Oct 28, 2004 Author: Valli | Filed under: Work Life

It’s so funny that that song should be on right now, ’cause it’s exactly how I feel. That’s the problem with this job, I’m powerless. I’m in charge of paperclips, big whoop.

I found out yesterday that the “advertising producer” job was shot down and denied by headquarters. So then I suddenly felt like I didn’t owe them anything, and my job search is now in full effect. I wish I hadn’t signed such a long lease on my apartment, ’cause now I don’t have the option of moving to L.A. or Las Vegas. Do you know that I could be renting a HOUSE in Las Vegas for what I’m paying now for my apartment? It’s crazy.

“there’s nothing here for me now”… every freaking song is saying something to me!

I want a scooter. I’m making this spec ad for a customer who sells, you guessed it, scooters. They’re awesome, from Italy and everything. They’re so cute.

just an ordinary day

Oct 26, 2004 Author: Valli | Filed under: Life in General

I need a comfortable chair for my desk at home. I can’t write journal entries there ’cause I’m not comfortable.

Everytime I ask the Oracle about Scott it tells me there’s someone else I should be looking at who’s close to me and I’m like “who??”. So frustrating. There isn’t anyone, anyone it could be is taken. Although it did say I would meet my soul-mate soon. I hope so, that’d be nice.

So there’s only 15 minutes left until 5 and I hope, hope, hope that my boss leaves at 5. Damn, he’s still here. Grrr.

Yay! Good news, but kinda bad news at the same time. FT will be doing the show on Nov. 5th at 3 Oaks, but SLP isn’t playing ’cause they got a tour. Which actually isn’t that bad, ’cause I don’t care that much about SLP. Anywhooo.. yay! A new show.. yay! Oh wait, damn them, just talked to Kirk and he said they’re not doing the show, ’cause there’s not enough time to promote it… Bah humbug… It’s like a freaking roller coaster. You’re up, you’re down, you’re up, you’re down.

you’re addicted

Oct 23, 2004 Author: Valli | Filed under: Life in General

You Know You’re Addicted to LiveJournal When…

If you can’t access the site, you have a minor freak out - and a major case of hitting reload.

You found yourself composing journal entries during dates, movies, even sex!

When you’re out, you suddenly think of a witty reply to a comment somebody made to you… several days ago.

You actually call it LJ and not Livejournal. Check.

You’ve downloaded some sort of LJ program which has only the purpose of making entries easier to write without going on the site manually.

You consider it a great offense if someone deletes you off their friend’s list.

The first thing you do every day when you go online is check your friends journals - even before checking your email.

You actually paid money for a few extra pictures with a full account when you could actually just alternate pics when you want to for your screen icons.

When your friends ask what’s new, you get mad at them because you already wrote it in your LJ and they didn’t check it yet.

You have put more time into LJ than all your assignments for the semester.

You have more friends on LJ than in real life.

You’ve met at laest 50% of your LJ friends.

You can’t seem to call your friends by their real names - only LJ names will do.

You’ve fallen in love with someone you met on LJ.

You have posted about a party or get together on your LJ… and random strangers showed up.

You are guilty of traveling more than an hour to meet someone with LiveJournal. (Extra points for traveling five hours or more)

You’ve written a protected entry about one of your LiveJournal friends. (Extra points if they eventually found out about it)

You have written posts to notify people you’re going to sleep.

You talk about your LJ friends to your real life friends all the time… like they’re a part of your group.

You’ve created a LJ community, and people actually post in it.

You’ve been recognized in real live by a fellow LJ’er.

You have friended someone because of their LiveJournal icon.

You have “pity friends” on your list, who you would defriend if you could.

You’ve pimped one of your friends on journal, trying to get people to friend him / her.

Instead of doing research, you post difficult questions on your LiveJournal.

Your pets all have their own LiveJournals.

You know, right now, how many people have friended you (without peeking).

You’ve stopped being friends with someone in real life because of something they’ve said on LJ.

You’re guilty of posting sexy or nude pictures to get more people to friend you.

You have consoled yourself after a horrible day thinking “At least this will make a great LJ post”

You’re jealous of people who have more friends and / or comments than you.

You have written a really great, solid post - only to be disappointed by the lack of good comments.

You’re guilty of commenting excessively to get more traffic to your journal.

You’ve deleted a post a few minutes (or hours) after you’ve written it, because it seemed lame in retro spect.

You give shout outs to all your LJ friends on their birthdays.

You have an additional, secret journal that hardly anyone knows about.

You’ve broken up with someone - or ended a friendship - soley via LiveJournal.

You have gotten mean anonymous comments (bonus points for figuring out who it was via their IP)

You’ve been reported (or reported someone) to LJ Abuse.

You’ve been featured on LJ Drama.

You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends who are LJ addicts.

she swears that she’s artsy

Oct 21, 2004 Author: Valli | Filed under: Lessons Learned, Life in General

Stupidity. It’s running rampant I tell ya. Some guy emailed me about the photo of John Mayer that’s on the front of my site, johnmayerfans.com. It’s a double picture of John Mayer, and he asked me who the other guy was. Is he crazy?? It’s John Mayer! He’s wearing the exact same thing in both photos. So stupid. I think that’s the second time someone has emailed me about that. I need to change the photo probably.

Then there’s various people at work who are suffering from the stupidity disease. But I won’t get into all of their faults right now. I need to go make color copies and I don’t want to, but I do ’cause it gets me out of here, and away from certain people but then again I have to stand around in the retail dept looking like a nut.

I found this “love horoscope” on MSN, this is what it says for me this week:
As soon as you feel you have something good, you want to expand it. You want to make it bigger. If you just started dating someone who you think you might have a connection with, immediately your mind starts to think about a house together, babies, holidays, traveling together, and rocking in chairs on the front porch together until you are old and gray. Hold on there, Virgo. Not so fast. This week, your plans to expand, improve, or strengthen your relationship are likely to backfire. It seems that you are anxious to take your partnership to the next level. That’s fine, but why does it have to be so soon? It doesn’t. Enjoy where you are for the time being, and don’t be so hasty to put the down payment on a new house. For now, just enjoy each other’s company and have a good time. Any moves to take your partnership to the next level this week will end up causing your relationship to move backward, not forward.

That is sooo me! Even when I get some little smidgen of something I’m off and running. Then again I daydream about that stuff even when I haven’t even met the person (I’ve got like, stock daydreams involving Dale Jr. and Mayer that I can call on at any time). So I do need to chill, that’s definitely one of those things that I’m having a hard time changing in myself. But if I just had one good relationship, one good guy I could probably calm down about it all. Hopefully

I’m so proud of myself right now. I made the flier for the acoustic show and it looks pretty good if I do say so myself. yay. Now I just need to make copies and distribute them. ugh. I wonder if the skatepark has a message board. I doubt it.
