Hello faithful readers.
So, lately my entries have not so much been about what's up with Lauren as more of a commentary on the world's problems. I've been on this little writing kick. I've been thinking about how neat it would be to have a weekly column in a newspaper or magazine, where you could just write about anything you want. A forum for a good ranting about anything that bugs you. So, I decided to try it. I'm liking it so far, and will hopefully continue with it. However, I felt the need to update y'all on the progress of me. So, here goes.
First up, I've made a decision. I'm not compeltely over my quasi-life crisis yet, but I've come up with a temporary solution that is making me a bit more relaxed and happier. I've decided....to move out of my parents' house. It's official, BroDave and I are going to find an apartment downtown and live together. I think we'll be able to get along well enough that we won't kill each other, and it means that both of us will be saving on living expenses. So, we will start the search very soon (hopefully this week) and, depending on how successful we are, we will be in a new place, at the latest, in two months (Dave put his two months notice in at the place he is now, so that's sort of a necessity).
Second, I've taken a week off from the dreaded Fish House. I decided that a) I needed a vacation from stress and frustration, b) it would give me an opportunity to search for a place to live, get my things in order, etc. and c) I think it's about time I started working on John and Charlotte's wedding video, seeing as they've been married over six months now. Today was my first day off. I admit I did pretty much nothing. But technically, this was my day off for this week, giving me permission to be lazy, the "vacation", as it were, doesn't start until tomorrow.
And finally, I have a job interview tomorrow. Actually it's the second interview for a serving job at Casey's down beside Union Station. I'm really hoping I get it. I don't usually allow myself to get my hopes up too high, because I really suck at job interviews, but I can't help it. It's downtown, it's a big, corporate place and I think it would be very good for me. Wish me big luck!
So, there's your update. Just to finish off, I'm still unsure what I want to do with my life, I still need to get motivated to actually do something useful with my time, and I still smoke (but I still plan on quitting sometime in the near future). Hope you're happy.
By the way... Kirsi always seems to be writing in her journal what I'm thinking. It's starting to get creepy. (And I just figured out how to link to other's people's websites)
