September 26th, 2006: Sick drunks.


Photography, Social Foolery and Life: written | 10 Comments »

I have blown my nose now for the 6,000th time.

Now usually during the wintertime, I’m sick with a cold for at least 80% of the season, each cold lasting 3-5 days. I’ve yet to figure out why that is, but it’s become normal for me. So have to a cold for more than a week is startling, not to mention a drag. :

This is what I’ve done for the past week and a half: blown my nose repeatedly, taken numerous doses of vitamins, nyquil, tylenol, and claritin (in four hour intervals, of course), gotten wierd/sympathetic glances from my friends, and drank myself silly. Everyone would just look at me and say something to the effect of “Jeez, you look terrible,” or “You sound like man,” or the most popular “Ew stay away from me! (from behind their sleeve, shirt collar, or surgical mask.) The only person who didn’t scamper away from me is Joel, and that’s because he’s the one who got me sick, and Tony, because he’s the one who got Joel sick. Can you tell how often we hang out?

But anyway –  yes, I drank. It was for Joel’s belated birthday celebration, and Tony told me that it would ‘clear my sinuses’ . Silly me never knew it would actually make me feel worse a day or two later. Should I have known? Not sure. But I did have fun on Saturday at least. There was a cake, some drunken uno, plenty alcohol, and lots of friends:

Patròn, E&J, and Bacardi O  a terrible combination for those not looking to get drunk.

Joel’s birdhday cake was of course, football shaped. And yes, it does say Happy 24th Giant - that’s his nickname ’round these parts. :lovestruck:

 

I did some zig zag braids on his hair, so he would be looking nice for the festivities.

 

Drunken Uno! Who would have thought, lol. Being the birthday boy, of course we had to make him draw 10 (for every card you had to draw you had to take a big gulp from your cup.)

 

He took it like a man, well barely. 

 

Then it was Tony’s turn to draw 6!

 

Tori was just chillin’ - he didn’t have to draw at all!

 

BX!

 

Needless to say, everyone was messed up.

I only had to draw two myself, but by that time I was taking plenty of shots on my own. I know the guys have pictures of me in my drunken stupor, but I’ll have to wait until I can get it from them. Besides, I’ve posted enough pics of myself to last a while. We attempted to watch Waiting while we played but ended up hanging outside with all the sane, sober people and both were cut short. Snickering, bootyshaking, and spurts of mistaken identity ensued, and the rest is history.

We had a grand time. If only I knew I would still feel this crappy after the fact! This has made my job hunting come to a full halt, at least for a while. I fully intend to resume as soon as my eyes start losing focus when I stare at something too long. This headache is serious.

September 15th, 2006: Finally, a break!


Life: written | 18 Comments »

I just had to exploit my lover for a moment. :lovestruck: I’ve been quite the busy one these past few weeks. Interviews left and right, and yes, still running around with friends - even in the sometimes soggy weather.

My mom was so right, finding a job is a job in itself, she said after I’d come home from yet another interview and was completely drained. Well, drained from the commute more than the actual interview.

Seriously. I get such a friendly reminder everytime I have to board the train that there’s alot of overworked, underpaid, disgruntled, troubled commuters in the city. I’ve been snarled at and had eyes rolled at me several times for simply chatting on the phone, or gabbing with joel (when we’re on the same train). I think I’m beginning to end up being one of those people, except for the pay

So I went on one interview and it was crowded. So incredibly crowded. The line to get your application and marked for your attendance was even longer. My fault, I suppose — I thought my interview was at 11 and it was really at 10am I was lucky they were still giving interviews. I heard two guys behind me talking about blowing the place (later in the conversation it became clear that it was only because the line was so long). I think if there were windows in the room we were in, there’d be armed forces flying through the windows to snatch them up, lmao. Anyway, the interview went well and the interviewer looked grouchy but was super enthusiastic about me working there, and said i should apply again if I don’t hear from them, which I think was a good sign, so yay.

All my other interviews were uneventful, but went well nonetheless. I still have one on the 20th for this insurance company (who called after seeing my resume on monster.com - i think) and was very insistant that I set an appointment. I’m not sure about that one, since I asked him what exactly I would be doing and he couldn’t answer me; I was on hold for a good five minutes. When he returned he babbled about selling something, and clients and that I could ask more questions when I came to the interview.

Very suspect if you ask me.

We’ll see though. So yes, life is still pretty fast paced, but this weekend there’s a lull and I intend to take full advantage of it!

I shall leave you with a picture of Cornyflakes, who’s sitting in one of his favorite spots in my house:

 

he likes desk chairs lol
