09:48 pm - I don't feel tardy... So, today was my first official day of massage therapy classes. I have much to say, but most of it is pretty snap-judgement-impatient-negativity that's probably best left unsaid. Let's just say that I'm a bit underwhelmed by at least half of my fellow students. It's never a good sign when three of them were falling asleep on the first day of class. Of course, I don't know everyone's situations, so I'm in no position to judge them, but, come on - the first day of class and you're already insulting your instructors by falling asleep? See, this is why I'm not really going to say more. One amusing bit - we got some of our books today, and two of them are published by the company I used to work for. You have no idea how good it felt to be on the "user" end of the books. :) Even though I feel like I have a ton of BAD things to say, I'm still very excited about what I'm doing. There's a lot to learn and I'm ready to be a good little sponge and absorb all that I can. I will admit that I'm a little freaked out that we're going to start actual hands-on bodywork tomorrow - day 2! Current Mood: productive

11:25 am - Don't mess with Texas Yeah, so, you can have guns in Texas, but you can't have a little fun??? Remind me to never go there. Or to Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Kansas, Colorado, and Alabama. People, get a grip (on something hard or buzzing (bonus for both) preferrably)! Get your noses out of your bibles, turn off talk radio/TV, and do a little self-exploration. Maybe then you'll loosen up and realize how silly you've been for all these years. Current Mood: dirty

12:24 pm - Come on, get happy! Here's an interesting article about doing what you love. I'm actually going to be taking that enormous first step this week. Once I get the financial aid situation worked out, I'll be quitting my job and going to school full time. I'm completely terrified, but I know that this is a risk that I must take in order for me to be happy. I've been thinking and talking about it for at least 6 or 7 years. Security has held me back for this long. But, my current unhappiness was greater than the need for security, and everything is now falling into place. It's amazing how things like this just seem to work themselves out. What's really interesting is that my sister is on the same road that I'm on. She'll also be going back to school - pursuing what's going to make her happy. Oddly enough, even though we're pursuing completely different things in two different states, our classes start on the same exact day. Coincidence? A friend of mine told me a quote (and I don't know who said it) - Life is what happens to you when you're busy making plans. Ain't that the truth? Current Mood: scared

01:13 pm - Big bucks, no whammies... I've decided that it's time to do something about the fact that I hate my job. So, I've started looking into financial aid so that I can quit this gig and go to school (massage therapy for those of you that don't know). It's a really daunting task, and I'm completely overwhelmed. But, at least I'm keeping myself entertained. Did you know that you can get a Klingon scholarship? It's true. If there's something so completely specialized as a Klingon scholarship, I have to imagine that there's something for a woman that wants to help her fellow man through therapeutic, healing touch. (No jokes from the peanut gallery in the gutter, please.) Current Mood: hopeful

01:34 pm - WTF? High Fructose Corn Syrup is bad. I've been trying to avoid it at all costs over the past few years. Of course, I do break down occasionally and have some soda, but I do make an effort to read labels and choose products that don't include HFCS. But, it's everywhere - even in stuff you wouldn't expect - like this. Seriously - enough with this shit already. Current Mood: pissed off

10:15 am - Lord of the Cutest Things I love the Lord of the Rings books and movies. I've always thought that living in a place like Bag End (Bilbo's and then Frodo's house for you non-geeks) would be the coolest thing in the world - so warm and cozy and round. This is the next best thing. I'm amazed by the craftsmanship and the level of detail. Enjoy! Current Mood: enthralled

11:38 am - More WoW Obsessiveness <td> <table border="0" width="450" bgcolor="#000000"> Gnome Warlock Gnomes are strange little things. Fascinated with gadgets and shiny things, gnomes are often plotting and planning - but are pretty smart, despite all the explosions. You're a creepy, creepy warlock. You delight in the darker things in life - such as setting people on fire, and delight in the macabre. You'd probably fake your own death just to freak people out by getting up from the casket at your funeral. Find out your real-life WoW race and class at QuizGalaxy.com </td> </table> You know, maybe I should create one... Current Mood: bored

01:10 pm Drunk dude: Wow! Do you know how long I've been looking for this nickel? Drunk girl: What? Since an emergency in 1923? and Girl: ...anyway, he was making money hand over foot-- Guy: Isn't it "hand over fist"? Girl: It'll be "fist up your ass" if you don't stop interrupting me. also Yuppie mom #1: Can you believe that there are people living in this city who make under two hundred thousand dollars? Yuppie mom #2: Really? Yuppie mom #1: Yes, I'd never do that. I wouldn't want to live like a Huckleberry Finn. and one of my favorites Girl: Didn't you say pubic hair came back in style? Guy #1: Yes, thank god. I hated the Brazilian wax. Made me feel like a pedophile. Guy #2: What's a Brazilian wax? Girl: It's when everything goes. Totally bare. Guy #1: Yeah. Brazilian originally meant "ass wax only." Guy #2: And then it became a country? via Overheard in New York. Current Mood: silly
