			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Alright, I had my fill of mood swings for the passed few days.</p>
<p>Like <a href="http://hoteltuesday.blogspot.com/">Enrico</a> said, I should just go with the fortune cookie approach. It&#8217;s too bad I didn&#8217;t have a chance, because I&#8217;m sure my fortune cookie would have read something along the lines of &#8220;castrate him.&#8221;</p>
<p>Boys (especially the married kind &#8211; <em>drama!</em>) are jerks.</p>
<p>There are good things going on in life, like I still have a job, <em>don&#8217;t</em> have the swine flu, and I&#8217;m not living on the streets. So life isn&#8217;t really that bad.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Running away was once just a dream, clouded by poor judgment and laziness. But, dear gentlemen, I have decided to not let that be the case.</p>
<p>To let you in on my little secret, I have ran away.  Probably not physically, but you know what I mean. </p>
<p>For specific reasons, please see above.</p>
<p>Emotionally, mentally, and most likely spiritually, I am on hiatus. You see, history (predictably) repeted itself. Except it was only a severe case of like &#8211; not love &#8211; and the situation fixed itself. To repeat myself, I became a person I didn&#8217;t like, manipulating the people around me to get what I wanted.</p>
<p>In one word: skeeze-ball.</p>
<p>Kind sirs, this brain diarrhea is more than just an announcement; it&#8217;s a pledge: I will do my best to not use you (insert name here), to get in anyone&#8217;s pants. Especially that girl you like (sorry Rob), or the boy EVERYONE likes (sorry Katie).</p>
<p>If the meteorologist could plan my moods &#8211; wouldn&#8217;t that be awesome &#8211; I&#8217;m thinking (s)he would predict a lot of melancholy with sprinkles of angst. Luckily we&#8217;re out of emo season, but there would be plenty of chance for continued metaphor.</p>
<p>Tonight is St. Patrick&#8217;s Day. The start of The Boondock Saints, and the end of&#8230; An idea. THE idea, I should say. Of any person having control of me. And, I only have a little bit more time to complete my Lent sacrifice.</p>
<p>Damn coke boy &#8211; you ruined every thing.</p>

09. I miss a class&#8230; for 4 weeks straight.<br />

<p>And for you, <a href="http://puntabulous.com">Mr. Craig</a>, every time (two words&#8230; see? haha) I sit down to do something, I think of approximately 87.3 things I could be doing differently. I have a paper due tomorrow. Haven&#8217;t started. I&#8217;m screwed.</p>

<p>While missing school. :sadface:</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t like going to the doctor, <em>or </em>spending $50. But after being sick for one month &#8211; literally a whole month &#8211; I had to do something.</p>
<p>I took the first dose (two pink pills. So pretty!), and within an hour I swear I was feeling better. I also got FloNase, because the Dr. thought I looked &#8220;inflamed.&#8221;</p>
<p>I feel so much better. But I didn&#8217;t have a chance to go ball-grabbin like Craig did. They were much quicker in attending to me than I imagined.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I happen to be one of the many Americans who suffer from a particular affliction of impulse spending coupled with an acute infection of living paycheck to paycheck.</p>
<p>These two are bad roomates.</p>
<p>My problem is that I don&#8217;t follow any sort of budget that I create. And I can create all sorts of them. Simple math makes me happy.</p>
<p>My last paycheck (two weeks ago) went by fairly quickly. But I saved a dollar. One single dollar &#8211; in dollar bill form &#8211; at my desk. I could have spent in on <em>many</em> things, like a soda, or fuel for my car, or.. I dunno, <em>vodka</em> if I so felt like it.</p>
<p>But I didn&#8217;t. By saving one dollar &#8211; while not having any other money &#8211; I proved to myself that I can save money. Any amount, really. So this next paycheck, which comes this morning, I will put a $20 away with my $1. It&#8217;s not much, I know, but they <strong>symbolism</strong> behind it means a lot to me.</p>
<p>Did anyone catch the <a title="Wikipedia: The Boondock Saints" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boondock_saints">Boondock Saints</a> reference? <img src='http://orangely.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  I love that movie. Especially <a title="Wikipedia: Willem Dafoe" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willem_Dafoe">Willem Dafoe</a> in his amazingly flamboyant portrail of Agent Smeker. If you haven&#8217;t seen the movie, you need to. It&#8217;s cheesey and silly and awesomely violent.</p>

1. It&#8217;s really hard to convince people to vote when you&#8217;re not feeling it as much as you want to.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A couple thoughts today:</p>
<p>1. It&#8217;s <em>really</em> hard to convince people to vote when you&#8217;re not feeling it as much as you want to. For instance, I have spent all day attempting to encourage some of the people I work (clients, not peers) with to vote. I <em>love </em>people advocating for themselves. I even held an inpromptu discussion over the Presidential candidates talking points -- just to get a discussion going. I turned out to be lackluster and boring. Maybe I can do better as we get closer to ending this election season.</p>
<p>2. Working from Noon to 8pm is pretty cool. I get lots of over-time, too. It tends to be stressful, as I have approximately eleventy supervisors. Oh, and I left my <a title="Nalgene Water Bottle" href="http://www.nalgene-outdoor.com/">Nalgene</a> at work. I&#8217;m sad. And dehydrated. I need to buy a new one anyway.</p>
<p>3. I found a horrible and shocking video on YouTube the other day. Not only do I disagree with the message, I&#8217;m not sure the children in this scary propaganda-esque hate video really even understand what they&#8217;re really saying. Read the comments on the <a title="YouTube Hate Video" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LlItG4raicA">YouTube</a> page.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">	<!-- Smart Youtube -->

<p style="text-align: left;">4. I believe, and like, the <a title="Filter For Good" href="http://filterforgood.com/">Filter For Good</a> concept. In fact, I haven&#8217;t purchased a bottle of water (unless I&#8217;m without my Nalgene) since I took the pledge. I&#8217;ve also increased my water consumption and eliminated soda from my diet.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">5. I like goats. Especially the <a title="Fainting Goat at Wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fainting_goat">Fainting</a> kind. My family raises them, and has about 70. They&#8217;re like pets&#8230; awesome.</p>
