Reading Aaron Karo is very inspiring. First, I enjoy everything he has to say, knowing full well that he'd probably hate me seeing as I also have a website, but mine isn't nearly as funny or witty, and I often allow typos. Oh, also because I was on the Real World, and I'm sure he'd find that to be too lame for comment. Nevertheless, he's a great read.

Oh, something ironic and wonderful - I received a hate email from some chick bashing me, and she concluded it with, "Ugh, can it [my life] get any more dumber?" Think about that one. You'll laugh too. Unless it was you who wrote it, in which case you probably don't get it.

The job hunt is still on. I feel like it's moving along though. I'm meeting people, I'm interviewing. I'm hesitant to discuss it at all though because what if they read this? I mean, I wasn't planning on mocking or bashing, but even the process probably shouldn't be mentioned. You know? I'm simultaneously very confident and insecure about it all. One second I think I can't do anything, the next I'm thinking, "Whatever, I'd be amazing at this job. I can do this, and I'll be the best one here in a week." I like the latter. It's fun feeling that way.

Friends is on tonight. It's looking like Joey and Rachel are going to end up together. I guess all the stupid things Joey says (but I love him, don't get me wrong) will now seem cute to her rather than annoying. Is that possible? I mean, can you fall in love with someone you've been friends with for 8 or 9 years and all of a sudden find annoying things endearing? I guess I can imagine that, but I thought it always worked the other way around. I don't like this pairing, but I feel kind of done with this Ross and Rachel thing too. However, haven't we as the watchers of this show invested so much energy in the ups and downs of this courtship? Don't we feel a bit cheated by it coming to such a halt? And with all the sexual tension that STILL exists between those two, won't that be a bit awkward if Joey and Rachel get married? Okay, and then there's the other topic - Joey and money. DOES HE HAVE ANY??? I mean, what the hell does he do now? I can't remember if he still has a paying job? Still on Days? This guy had absolutely NO money for like 6 years on this show, and he's living in New York. What's up with that?

I'm liking life. I have to say. Of course I miss my friends in Boston. They're irreplaceable, and I know that. They're not going anywhere though. The world is very small. Still, things are okay. Money would be good though. It really would. I don't have much of that anymore. Oh, and you know how I was harassing my old landlord for my $800 security deposit back? Well, turns out it was only $200. He called me, and I took out the copy of the checks I wrote, and there it is, only $200. So, he's sending me that tomorrow, and there is already this REALLY strongly-worded letter on its way out to him demanding my $800, threatening legal action, the works. I'm SUCH an ass. I mean, can I get more dumber? Yeah, so there's $600 I was counting on that never existed ever in the world.

And I need to face the fact that I'm not putting up shelves in my room. I dug a hole in the wall big enough for Andy Dufresne to crawl to freedom, and it's clear that without a drill, no shelf can hang there. (imdb says that's how you spell that character's last name, but it looks wrong, doesn't it? Should it be Dufrain? Duphrane?)

I've been running. I hate to say that because I don't think that can be considered true until I've been running regularly for about a month, but I've ran the past few days. I wish results were immediate. I mean, how is anyone ever supposed to know they've done something good? I can eat ONE McDonalds mean, and I SWEAR that I can see the difference. Go running though, you have to just trust it works, and then after a few weeks, you wait to see if anyone ELSE points out that it's working. No fair.

I love Golden Girls. How old are they supposed to be exactly? Why can't Bea Arthur be my great aunt or something?
