hurrrrfff @ 04:00 pm


Coming back from Oregon, coming back from laughing and watching everyone get drunk and eating good food and being surrounded by love and shmoo and generally just coming back from having a life...

RP seems boring in comparison.




Back to the jobhunt.

Job front looking less and less prospective. Value Village's openings closed up because they got transfers. Next is Hollywood Video; hopefully I'll get that app in on time.

Meanwhile, a meme from [info]anthraxpretzels!

Reply to this post, and I'll tell you one reason why I like you. Then put this in your own journal, and spread the love.

I don't even @ 11:03 pm


Aboooooout...oh, last June maybe? I don't remember, but anyway. I was over at [info]eccentricbirdie's place hanging out with her, her boyfriend, and (at the time) my boyfriend. And because I'm just strange, I decided to steal a condom from her. She has tons of them. I just slipped it inside my purse and wondered if she would notice it was missing. She never did.

Fast forward to two days ago. Sarah was in town, so I decided to pick up Birdie and head over there, but first I had to get gas. I snagged Mom's card and filled up the tank, then found out Sarah had gone to bed. So Birdie and I went back to my place and the credit card stayed in my coat pocket. I'm terrible about these things. I almost never empty my pockets.

Last night while I was in the shower, Mom came in and asked where her card was. I told her my jacket pocket. She retrieved it and went on her merry way.

Tonight, she knocked on my door and told me "We need to talk." Turns out, while she was looking for her card, she went through my purse. I don't use that purse for anything except to hold all my CD's, so I couldn't imagine why we'd need to talk...and then I remembered the single condom I had in there, stolen from Birdie months ago.

"Oh."

So I got The Talk. At the age of eighteen. Seems a bit late, to me, but ah well. It was not as awkward as I anticipated. I was, however, very tempted to say, "Is this a bad time to mention I might be a lesbian?"

[01:17] Rev: jkfdh LOL
[01:17] Renee: that would be awesome
[01:17] Renee: oh my god please lets fight reptar

Is it sad that I remember all the words to the Reptar on Ice episode?

The three cars for sale in the Dell's parking lot are all $2500.

So it turns out you shouldn't take acetaminophen on top of aspirin.

Makes you go all fuzzy and pass out way early. Also you have dreams about the weirdest shit.

I'm so glad I didn't tag during that time. Would've been so incoherent.

insecurity @ 02:16 pm


My brother has gotten into the habit of referring to me as his brother. I don't think he realizes how much it hurts.

1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open it to page 123.
3. Locate the third sentence.
4. Post it in your journal... along with these instructions.
5. Don't try to choose a book, take the one closest to you at the moment.

random article on Comcast: @ 02:20 pm


The recession might be technically over, but unemployment is rising month after month even in most of the nation's strongest job markets.

A full-fledged job recovery seems to be a long way away. But some metros are poised for significant job growth by the first quarter of next year. BusinessWeek.com teamed up with Moody's Economy.com to identify America's 25 next recovering job markets. These metros were ranked based on Economy.com's projected job growth in the first three months of 2010.

Topping the list is Mount Vernon, Wash., a small town about 60 miles north of Seattle with just 48,000 workers. The town, which lost jobs quickly during the recession, could see a rebound, in part because tourism, retail, and hospitality will make a comeback as the economy improves.


Mount Vernon? Really? I guess I'll have to look into that...

The next step @ 06:29 pm


So I've pretty much made up my mind to move to Oregon. I don't have to pump my own gas, there's no sales tax, and I'm not completely leaving the Pacific Northwest that I know and love. Plus home is a four-hour jaunt away, if I so desire.

But there are a couple things I need to do before I actually go, and that's the hard part. So here's a list.

1. Get a job. No, not one in Oregon. That can come later. I need the money now for reason number two.
2. Buy a car. It'll probably be that van in the Dell's parking lot that's been sitting there for four weeks. Wait, maybe not. It's been sitting, after all. But I need a damn car.
3. Pack. This can be done while 1 and 2 are being accomplished. But I'll need lots of boxes. So many boxes. FOUR HUNDRED BOXES. Also I plan on giving away/donating/selling/trashing most of my stuff that I really don't need. Which is like all of it.

So over the next few months, we'll see how this checklist pans out.

This road trip was hella awesome all around, but really, the most important part is this.

Reply to this meme by yelling 'WORDS!', and I will give you five words that remind me of you.
Then post them in your journal and explain what they mean to you.
Keep in mind that if I don't know you that well, your words might end up kind of odd or weird.

[info]ktvn gave me these.

Doctor Who
How did I even get into this show. Sarah had something to do with it, but I don't know how she got into it in the first place. But with the severe lag in seasons, I've fallen out of it.

The Wake
I am addicted. I am addicted to this place like some people are addicted to World of Warcraft, and I don't care. It's fun, it's creative, it's full of amazing people, and I love it.

Kingdom Hearts
So I figured out about a week ago why I can't bring myself to give a shit about Days or Birth By Sleep: it's because neither of those are World Refugees. Yeah, you heard me. But the bottom line is, our canon > theirs. Our canon made more sense. Our canon had a stronger villain. Our canon gave Kairi a decent role. Our canon didn't retcon the shit out of everything with prequels on Insane- or GreatestJournal.

I also have absolutely no faith that Aqua will be as badass as the fandom wants her to be. They'll find a way to nerf her. They will.

King of Thorn
I can't pimp this series enough. It has interesting characters, a well-rounded storyline, nothing got retconned, and it was short. I like short series. There is a reason I couldn't stick with Fruits Basket.

Teen Titans
I love you, Titans fandom. You were so batshit, and yet so loving.

You know the thing about things getting special places in your heart? It sounds cheesy, but I believe it. Everything gets a special place in my heart. Teen Titans gets a very special place in my heart, because it was my first big fandom and also the first fandom I shared with Sarah. Someday I will map out my heart and show what gets which special place.
