People Who Took A Sample

Because... man. We suck.

By charity, goodness, restraint, and self-control men and woman alike can store up a well-hidden treasure -- a treasure which cannot be given to others and which robbers cannot steal. A wise person should do good -- that is the treasure which will not leave one.

I got hired by Tim Horton's.

No, I did not move to Canada. Canada? Who's that?

But I did get hired. To the second place I applied to.

I start on Friday.

OMG OMG OMG.

Now, fast food is not my ideal employment situation. However, not being broke is my ideal situation!

BE EXCITED WITH ME, GUYS!

I HAVE GOOD NEWS!!!!



Also I kinda quit Nanowrimo. But that's not important! I have a job now.

Prompt: Final Fantasy VII, Reeve: the fall of Sector 7 – It shouldn't be like this

And so, to celebrate, I signed up for five prompts on story_arc. *facepalm* *sheepish grin*

I'm in good spirits.

I don't clain a religion, but I love Christmas and everything about it. Especially the music. In fact, I like the holiday so much that I can't imagine not celebrating it. I don't claim a religious affiliation, but Christmas is fun.

Which is why I understand, but won't agree at all, with those Atheists who insist that Real Atheists don't celebrate Christmas.

First and foremost, "Real" Atheists don't believe in any deities or supernatural things (though I know of some that believe in the possibility of, oh, aliens and parallel universes), that's it. Second, the holiday itself has become more secular than sacred, so I'm sure that celebrating Christmas is perfectly safe for even the strongest of Atheists.

One of the local radio stations is playing Christmas music nonstop.

This makes me happy. I'm not sure why.

I learned bad lessons from my parents about spending even when you don't have money. I'm trying to be better.

Also, Wal-Mart is a terribly racist and homophobic company.

So...



Those are the remains of my Sam's Club credit card. I got it years ago as a way to buy groceries after I got fired from a job. But instead of paying it off and closing it when I got hired again, I got in the habit of using it.

But I need to not use it. I need to not buy so much crap. I need to not eat out at lunch so much.

*drops remains into trash*

So earlier this morning I had a post composed in my head that was me whining about how I'm not writing, how I'm an utter failure at life in general, that my creativity was dead, that I really shouldn't be bothering anyone with anything.

But the only thing true in the above statement is that I'm not writing.

I am not an utter failure at life in general or even life in particular, since I'm still alive. Yes, I'm in pain right now, but I'll deal, as I always have.

My creativity is certainly not dead, just taking different forms. I'm really interested in my sewing class, and I picked up a cross-stitch that I haven't touched in months to work on at work. Also, I got a catalog in the mail yesterday that offered a set of "illuminated" coloring books and pens for $30, so I may ask my Dad to get that for me.

So, that is the state of the Jenn at the moment.
