Want it to be last summer

October 20, 2011 by SweetSong

Can it be last summer again? ‘Cause last summer was cool. I was writing, I had a great job, and I had my trip to look forward to! Last summer was epically awesome.
But it’s not last summer anymore. But I do have to say, my trip was awesome! Loved it. But I am very glad to be home; a month abroad was enough for me. Neuschwanstein rocks. But anyone who reads my blog knows that, because everything is up on Facebook. So, moving along… now it is not last summer, and that is sad. Now it is this fall, and here I sit, filling out endless job applications and dumping resumes into a great, black abyss, never to be seen again. *sigh* I still have enough funds left to be able to afford this between-jobs limbo for a bit, but not THAT long, and y’know, I’d rather not watch my savings filter into that same great, black abyss. I like it better in my bank account. So I can go on more trips. And stuff. Ohsey wellsey. Wish me luck!

Oh goodness

June 7, 2011 by SweetSong

This poor, poor neglected blog. Oh well. Life’s actually been pretty good lately – the dollar store is a thing of the past, as I’m now back working at Bear Creek. I have most of what I need for my trip in September, and I’ve been writing almost every single day! (Insert *squee* here.) Maybe I’ll even finish Book/Part 1 before Europe? I make no promises. :)

In other news, Nick had to write poetry for his class, so I ended up digging through some of my old poetry. There was this one about macaroni…

An interesting read:
When The Going Gets Tough, The Atheists Go Praying

Most atheists point out the fact that atheism is more prominent among the better educated, and proceed to claim that they are atheists because of that. This article argues a slightly different point… Like I said, an interesting read.

Anti-Valentines

February 14, 2011 by SweetSong

I’m not actually anti-Valentine’s, I just love this picture:

Anyone who has followed my blog for longer than a year knows I post it annually. It makes me happy. XD

Anyways. Interestingly enough, perhaps, I’m actually a bit anti-anti-Valentine’s. Some anti-Valentine’s Day things are funny, but overall it just doesn’t seem healthy. And as a customer at the store today pointed out, Valentine’s Day is as much about family as it is about couples. I bought V-day cards for my family this year, and made sure to wish my best friend a Happy Valentine’s Day. I also did a shout-out to everyone else on Facebook. I love my friends and family, and why not use Valentine’s Day (the “day of love”) to say so? But it seems like, according to society, as a single, I must hate Valentine’s, or spend it longing over someone (or sending candygrams… or something). But I’m just sort of indifferent to it. I like the excuse to eat chocolate and tell my friends and family how much they mean to me. Granted, I’m not big on the matrimaniacal hype and the abounding singlism, but get past that and all the pink is rather cheerful.
The only downside is that my fingers hurt from tying off balloons for people all day. XD

Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!
