    Two in a row!

    So here I am, another day another blog. Not a whole lot has happened since my blog on Tuesday. On Monday I went to a job fair for Starbuck's. For some reason, this led to me believe that they were hiring, and I seemed to have a good shot at it. They told me they would call me on Wednesday either way.

    They didn't call till about 3 o'clock, so that made me nervous right there. Then, when they finally called me back (right after I got home from turning more applications in) and told me that there wasn't any need for me in the market, or something like that. *sighs*

    None of the other places I've put apps into have called back either. I'm somewhat hopeful about the theatre shop, but I'm trying not to get my hopes up, 'cause everytime I do that, they get crushed.

    Be a pessimist and you'll never be disappointed XD

    Anyways, this week my depression has been off and on. I think it was Tuesday when it was the worst. I thought about suicide for the first time in awhile. Didn't do anything, it was just one of those "The world would be better off without me" type of things. Oh how I wish I had an angel named Clarence Oddbody who would show me what the world would really be like without me. Haha.

    Anyways, I'm doing much better today. Yesterday I had a few dips, but meh. *shrugs* I'm just thankful that I'm not 21 yet. That could have ended badly. But! I am not! And I'm rambling!

    Blogging.

    This is going to be one short blog as I don't have a whole lotta time to write. So I'll just fill ya'll into the happenings in my life.

    At this moment in time, I hate life. My depression has been kicking in whenever I'm alone, so that's hard on me, especially after I have a good day, come home and just start feeling awful. Also there's some complications that I won't get into 'cause they're kinda personal.

    Then there's the whole job hunt thing. I can not find a job. Sure, there may be some places hiring, but they apparently don't want to hire me. I've only worked at Hy-Vee for 5 years. Most people would think that's good, but apparently that's bad. I mean, isn't it saying something that I can pick a job and stick with it, no matter how boring it may get? I didn't just sit there and bag groceries. I did other things. I learned lots of things there. *sighs* But apparently I was just wasting time.

    I'm hoping that out of these tons of applications that I've turned in I'll get one call back. Starbuck's told me that they would call me on or before Wednesday. *crosses fingers* I really need a job.

    But, on a more positive note, I've gotten out of the house more then I did all summer long last year. Not only that, but I've had fun doing so. Strange that I've been spending it all with one of my ex's but *shrugs* Oh well. It hasn't been that awkward....I don't think. Sometimes I feel like it, but that's a different matter, methinks.

    Well, I gotta run and turn some more apps. in. Catch ya cool cats later.

    Saturday Night Fever

    My first blog on a schedule. Seems kinda strange but maybe it will help me manage my time better. I really should post these earlier, though. That way, it would seem that I actually did post them during the day time instead of waiting till evening to do everything that I forgot to do that day. Heh....

    Today was an okay day. Did not want to get up for the life of me. Seriously, I just wanted to lay down in bed all day long. But, I had to get up and start working on job applications...again. Today it was very stressful as I had to write up my first resume and that just annoyed the crap outta me. I was about ready to throw my computer out of the window. That coulda been bad, thinking back on it.

    But, relief came at 3 minutes after 5. It was a friend of mine wanting to know if I still wanted to hang out tonight. Heck yes! So, he came and picked me up and we went to his house to play some Halo 3.

    Unfortunatly, I didn't get a whole lot of gameplay because his work made him go back 'cause someone called in. Oh well. I got IBC Root Beer out of the deal. lol.

    Tomorrow I think my brother and I will be hanging out with him again, but not quite sure yet. I would like to. I miss just hangin' out with friends. That's the one thing I'm going to miss the most about college.

    Now, I'm not saying that I don't have friends here in Des Moines, I've been given proof that I do. Yet, everyone is on their own schedules and they almost never line up. At college, everyone is usually done by 5 so you can go to the cafeteria together and even if you can't get together during the day, most of you live on campus near to each other so you can just walk over to their room and hang out.

    Oh keep me company, people of the Internet. Show me that I do not write these blogs in vain.

    Seriously, I love reading comments from people. I don't care if it's just a "I had a bad day today too" or something like that. I'll comment back, I promise. ^_^

    Making the Connection

    I've decided to make a small little contribution to society and write about two things that are important in my life: Christianity and movies. Now, I understand that Hollywood has made some very bad movies that no one ought to watch, but there are some good ones. Granted, the good ones don't usually have religious overtones, but as I watch movies, I try to find the good in them. Sometimes I make a connection, sometimes I have to sit there and scratch my head a couple of times before I come up with something.

    Now, I know that the writers and filmmakers probably didn't intend for their work to be transcribed into Christian thinking, but oh well. They put it out onto the market, they should deal with it.

    So, whenever you see the words, "Making the Connection" up in the subject, you know that I've seen a movie that has made a connection with Christianity in my mind.

    Just so you know, the first one is going to be "Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas" as that made a connection in my mind when I saw it a month or two ago.

    Sound good? Yeah, I thought so.

About Me

  • Well, I'm 20 years old, I'm going to be a Junior in college this upcoming semester (if I have the money to go back) and I'm majoring in Theatre. Right now I have no idea what God wants me to do, so that's all a jumble right now. Feel free to comment on my ramblings. I love to hear from people! ^_^

    Haha, thanks. Hopefully by the end of this week I'll have something more written up. I'm extremely busy right now with a play (I'm the props master) so I haven't had much time for writing. Plus, I've kinda lost the will to write. Like, I have all these ideas in my head, but I just don't feel inspire
