Still no job!
As of July 12th, I’ll have been in Colorado for two months. Two months! I want to punch the economy in the face. And then chop its ears off, make it eat them, vomit them, and then eat them again…and then drown it in a plastic turtle pool. And then feed its remains to rabid horseshoe crabs. Take that, economy. I hate you. I hate you so bad.

I miss my puppies.
It’s been a month since the move to CO, and I still don’t have a job. The logical procession is:
1. Job.
2. Apartment/house/dwelling with a backyard
3. Retrieve Mister Mister and Audrey from California
The whole thing is making me nauseous. I’ve been turned down for so many jobs since I’ve been here. Not sure how much longer it will take for something to happen. This is...
I named my phone today. His name is Dumont.
Okay, so I leave this site for two months....
and when I come back, it’s a freaking popularity contest? WTF?

Space Real Estate
I do hope we will never own nor develop outer space.
(If that day is coming though, I call dibs on Jupiter.)
Studying Astronomy on a Saturday Night
Yeah, I know I’m not 12 anymore, but this makes me laugh. My teacher didn’t put these sort of questions on the study guide for any of the other planets. Makes me kind of wonder….
Who discovered Uranus?
How was it found?
What is the axis tilt of Uranus?
What does the axis tilt reveal about Uranus’ seasons?
How were Uranus’ rings discovered?
You look like Michael Douglas in ‘Falling Down.’

Quitting Smoking (Day 24)
Me: Yeah, I smoked 4 at the airport yesterday because I was tired and sad and frustrated.
My mom: You need to pick up another bad habit. Like looking at porn or something.
Small bit of something
I haven’t been here much lately. Not sure why. There just seems to be nothing to say this week! I’ve been busy re-thinking my plans lately and it sucks my imagination’s will to live. That, and exams.
This is pretty cool. A 14-year-old political prodigy.
It makes me happy that our little ones have some great role models these days. Summary via www.PerezHilton.com:
Terminally ill 9-year-old Jayla Cooper received quite the heart-warming surprise on Sunday afternoon.
Cooper, who is stricken with leukemia and has only weeks to live, had her last wish granted - to marry her friend, 7-year-old Jose Griggs, who also is struggling with leukemia.

I don't really know what to say...
so I won’t say anything at all.

Still studying...
Oh, and remember that French exam in disguise last week? The grades were just posted and I got a 91. Not bad for something I guessed was a miserable failure.
Aaaand feeling a lot better after that emo attack the other day. I’m just doing it.

This is some seriously shocking information, all based on public records. Read through the site by clicking the link above.
I feel old. I feel as if I’ve lived a thousand lives, and each one of them has consisted of failure and disappointment. I feel like all the things I’m waiting for…all the things I’ve been promised and that I’ve been working towards…are never going to get here. That I am doomed to a life of mediocrity and failure, doomed to forever wait for my ship to come in. I...
American Experience on PBS
I just watched an episode called The Lobotomist. It was about Dr. Walter Freeman, who performed lobotomies on over 3,000 mentally ill patients from 1936 to 1967. He began by working with neurosurgeons in 1936, actually going into the brain with surgery…. but in 1946, he noticed an influx of mentally ill soldiers coming in from the war. So he wanted to find a fast, inexpensive way to perform...

My dream lastnight...
Since I started this Atkins thing, I’ve had the weirdest dreams every night. I mean, I don’t know for sure if that is why, but these dreams started the day I started Atkins.
Lastnight, I dreamed that Bill Nighy was a cult leader, and was wearing a pink spandex jumpsuit. He had brainwashed all of my friends* and lured them to his compound. So me and my mom went to the compound to...
Atkins, Day 5
My blog is getting boring. All I talk about is the Atkins diet and school. But hey, that’s what I’m focused on right now! I am a woman on a mission.
I lost 7 pounds over the past 5 days. And at first I thought maybe it was something else - wearing different clothes on the scale, the scale being messed up, water weight, etc…But the trend seems to be ongoing, and I feel so much...

My teacher told me last week that we had a quiz today. I walked in, and it was a four page EXAM! I hope I did alright….Next Monday, I have an astronomy exam. Then Tuesday, it’s off to Colorado for six days. I hope Soofy gets here before then.
Atkins, Day 4
It’s getting a lot easier as the days go by! I have so much more energy and I’m waking up earlier, and it’s easier to focus. According to the scale, I’ve lost 4 pounds in 4 days, but I don’t know how much of that is something else. Weighing oneself is rather sporadic. People weigh less in the morning, for one. So I don’t know. But life without sugar is good....
I'm leaving Tumblr
soon to have a site somewhere else…same URL…. www.imaginationfactoryworld.com. Should have my bags packed by next week. I figure I have so much stuff to collect in one place, it’s best to do it where I can build my own website and categorize everything. I’m kind of excited! It’s like graduating from a studio apartment to a multi-bedroom house, and each room has a...
Okay, so maybe I'm a little evil.
Just a little. I received a random email from some actress chick that I don’t know today, offering to sell me the breakdowns for $25 a month, $50 for 3 months, or $200 for a year. Little did the sender know that I used to work at an agency and know the owner of Breakdown Services. I forwarded him the email and he says he’s going to rattle her up a little bit. He he he.
nuts.
My brother just picked up a 6-pack of Jack Daniel’s Lynchburg Lemonade, and I really want one, but one bottle is 25 carbs. And I’m only supposed to have 20 carbs a day on this thing. And I already had those. Well, at least I have my cheese.
