Two entries in four days! Go me!
So I've been thinking about this whole blog thing. We talked about it in my memoir class and it's pretty much like posting your diary or journal online. So tell me, is this really interesting to anyone who's reading it?

That put aside, I will valiantly continue to blog and I will try to make it as interesting as possible, which means I will try to make it as funny as possible.

Today I called a guy about a job interview. He called me last week and left a message asking me to call. I got very excited! I've been applying for jobs now, oh, for about a YEAR and have had no luck. FINALLY I get a call back. I call the guy today and what does he tell me? He found out Friday they can't hire right now. GREAT! FREAKING COMMUNISTS!

I've now reached the point of total desperation. I'm actually considering a job in tech writing. If you're wondering if it's the end of the world, you're probably right.

9 days until Arica comes!!!

Today's quotes are a tribute to the GH of years past... oh how I miss you!


Quote of the Blog
Alexis: My Uncles tried to freeze the world. Top that.

Monica: You know, I used to want to hurt you. I don?t anymore. I guess that?s progress.
Alan: I used to want to kill you. I don?t anymore. I guess I?m mellowing.
Monica: No, not that much.
Alan: I haven?t tried to kill you in 15 years. That?s cause for celebration. Would you like some champagne?

Luke: If you need a lift, to Fantasy Island, Ms. Davis... I'd be happy to row you over.
Alexis: I wouldn't get on the same ocean liner as you, let alone a boat across the lake.
Luke: Hmmm...Don't trust yourself?
Alexis: That's certainly part of it. One on one, no one to stop me. It would be all I could do to keep from beating you with an oar.

And for Arica...
Bobbie: Exactly how do you blow up a microwave?
Luke: Well, you start by forgetting where you left the can of cooking spray. Oh, you can laugh. My life is in shambles because of this place. I?m old before my time and you can laugh.

hellooooo
So much for writing in this thing every day... I blame it on class. But now that's over and hopefully I'll remember to post more often.

Let's review my week, shall we?

Sunday: I discovered I had a crack in my windshield while still in PA. Had to extend my stay another night so I could have my windshield replaced.
Cost: $0

Monday: Windshield not replaced until 1:30. Guess I won't be making it to work today (-$105). At least insurance covered the bulk of the windshield replacement. Cost for me: $50. Realize I need to go to the car dealership to get new inspection stickers. Talk to Mom. She advises me to get new windshield wipers. Cost at dealership: $45. Finish up and drive back to Maryland. When can I move back to PA???

Tuesday: Class. Total commute time: 2.75 hours. Total class time: 2.5 hours. (70 miles)

Wednesday: More class. It's memoir writing. I didn't realize how totally uninteresting my life was until this class. :) (70 miles)

Thursday: Last day of class. (In Homer Simpson voice) Woo hoo! (70 miles) On drive home from class, while on the phone with Sharon, man in SUV cuts me off. Piece of something kicks up from the ground and hits.. you guessed it.. my windshield. Looks badly scratched. Very pissed. Sharon tries valiantly to distract me. Buy Brownie Batter ice cream as consolation. Good news: windshield does not appear to be scratched. Cost of ice cream: $3.

Friday: Work. Yay. One of four people left in the entire building. Can we say waste of time and money? VP says we can leave at 3:30. At least there's some good news. Going to Vicky's Secret where I will probably spend more money that I don't have. Cost: TBD.

Until later!

Wow.. this is exciting, sort of..
This is my first blog entry. I feel like somewhere something amazing should be happening like angels singing the Halleluja chorus or people running up and down the hall screaming "It's about time! I've been waiting forever just to hear every random thought that comes out of Laura's head!" Instead, I'm still sitting at work pondering the length of that last sentence. My editing class has destroyed the english language for me.

I'll be including a quote in each of my blog entries because I love quotes and there are only so many away messages one person can have.

I'm not sure what else I'm supposed to put in here, so I'm going to stop for now.

Quote of the Blog
Myles: It seems Agent Sparky was attempting to bench press a considerable amount of weight. How much was it again, Bobby?
Bobby: I?m not sure, but 300 seems to ring a bell.
Tara: Ring a bell! Now that...
Bobby clamps his hand over her mouth.
Sue: 300 pounds? That seems like a lot.
Bobby: There?s a reason they call them dumbbells...
