An unestablished connection between me and reality has put me in a bit of a rut for the past year. Just recently have I actually been able to recognize substantial things. These things being: It is hard to find a job. Sometimes you have to look nice. People pay a lot more attention than you might like. Things are actually expensive sometimes.

After a day full of avoiding a certain person, keeping me cooped up in my cave for hours on end, I was needless to say, ready for a break. I grabbed the keys and took off to the mall, where I accordingly turned in an application or two. One of which was at Eddie Bauer. I was a professional lady and spoke eloquently while talking to the manager; she implied that I was almost guaranteed the job, which I hope is the case. I enjoy serving old ladies in their clothing choices. I am one myself.

In attempt to increase the amount of my mother's coworker's favorableness[1] toward me, I created a mixed cd for her to present to them tomorrow. It's obscure and a stretch, yes, but it has been shown to me that a few of them actually like good things. Michael likes Tom Waits. Matt likes Wolfmother. It all will even out, I think.The track list:
