hollybrookeDidn't get to update yesterday. Had to work. And watched the Grammies. It was kind of busy for a Sunday, actually.
Had to argue with the parents to let me go to Rocky this weekend. They kind of have to let me go this weekend, seeing as how I'm performing and all.
Tina was "Stunt Columbia" this weekend. She doesn't debut till the 21st, though. I just felt like laying low this weekend, for some reason. I'm still rather pissed about what tremendous assholes my parents are being. But no matter; I'm fighting the good fight.
*tangent* I hate Februaries. This is usually the month where nothing goes right. I always get sick. I never have a Valentine, and I get pissy because I am not participating in the season, but then I have to keep reminding myself that Valentine's Day is just a Hallmark holiday that was created to stimulate the economy, and it just defeats the purpose and there's no point in trying. It's usually the time of year when I start wondering, "What's the point in it all anyway?" and get all contemplative and thoughtful. (That, and I called Ethan last night. I got the answering machine, which was kind of a let-down.)
*tangent* I saw an ad in the Chicago Tribune classifieds for a writing position. I have to submit my resumé along with three examples of my work. It's for a sports/entertainment magazine. It's a full-time position with benefits and all of that wonderful jazz. So I'll probably go to the library so I can use their printer and print out some of my examples and my resumé. I could really use that job. Fuck what Mom says about getting a job close to home, because I don't plan on living here much longer if I get a decent paying job. There are no promising job opportunities in Northwestern Indiana; I was browsing around on hotjobs.com and most of the good jobs around here are in the Chicagoland area. Jacob agrees with me; if he's going to get a career established in the field he earned his degree in, he's going to have to either move or commute. Good luck to him.
*tangent* This seems promising. I don't know if it will fly, though.
