Random Wrap Ups

I'm swamped at work so of course I would like to take this moment to blog about the random things filtering to the top of my brain. I warn you now, I feel this is going to be a random configuration of one line statements that make no sense.

First: Changing ones relationship status on a social networking site is by far the most humorous thing one can do to get the word out. I got more comments on that update than any status change, blog, or twitter feed. But to be fair, it is the easiest way to share this stuff without having to call 90 of my close and not so close friends. And when I show up with a redhead in tow at an upcoming wedding I won't have to explain who the hell he is.

If I ruled the world (oh how scary that would be!) I would make it one of my first executive decisions to outlaw the words "Lake Effect" and "Wintry Mix". I would also make it illegal to be colder than my age. You would have to pass a test to have babies, and smoking would be good for you.

I don't like to give up on books but I just had to put down "What's the matter with Kansas?" It's interesting but seems to be getting repetitive (and reading it on my morning commute was putting me to sleep). I think I've got the general gist of what's wrong. I've moved on to Dracula.

The failing economy has sent another harpoon into someone I know. My second close friend has recently found out that they will be unemployed in 4 months. At least they had warning I guess. The first one was an immediate layoff. This shit is starting to get scary. And from all conversations I'm overhearing, it's nothing to what is going to happen next year. Anyone want to help me build a bomb shelter? My construction skills suck but I come with a pretty nifty book collection.

People leaving sucks. I know it has to happen. I know it is not forever. I am still not ready. And no, world who wants to know, I am not quitting smoking just because my twin is gone, did you people really pay no attention to me before she was here?

Blogging on two sites is getting slightly exhausting. Though my count for who is reading in the myspace world has gone up so I either have a new friend out there paying attention or the same person is reading my posts over and over. Either way it's weird.

Work. Ah, glorious work. Blind leading the blind down an alley filled with sharp, sharp rocks. That pretty much sums it up.

Some how my winter has gotten as filled socially as summer usually is. Every weekend between now and mid January has something going on. How does this happen? I really am not that sociable, or at least I didn't think I was. Since I'm still spending most weeknights holed up in my apartment I feel I can still consider myself not that busy.

I am going to go now and drink lots and lots of coffee because it's Friday and Friday allows me to indulge in these things that I love. Have a great weekend.
