done lost my damn mind...

so, in the past three weeks...

i have lost and re-gained internets.
celebrated about 50 million birthdays.
watched my bank account leak money into the ether of my spending habits.
been unable to hear my alarm and wake up, but have all my neighbors hear my alarm and they wake up which has led to my landlord building me an alarm clock box on my wall.
been to a wedding.
been to a baby shower.
had a friend from london crash in my living room for a few days.
been in a couple shows both with and without dad's.
got signed to a talent agency.
half-heartedly pursued dating some dude.
been unable to find part-time work, still.
applied to a temp agency, with plans to send resume to two more today.
taught a whole bunch of lessons on spiders.
and today applied to a jorb at the georgia aquarium.
also gotten drunk a lot.
and skinned both of my knees in one awesome fall.
and been to bamboo luau twice.
and still not decided what to be for halloween.
and seen a bunch of high school friends.
and been a hermit.
been to two clinics and made an appointment to got to a doctor.
i also almost blew up my apartment (and, probably the other apartments in my complex) while making real mac 'n' cheese.
then today i decided i could make it until this weekend to go to the grocery store again.
i also have a headache.
i tended a friend's vending machines for a minute or two.
broke stuff.
got a printer again.
paid some bills (sob).
been in a parade.
started work on that christmas show.
t.a.-ed some classes.
broke out the damn space heater at my apartment.

yeah...

i've been ridiculously busy, in other words. which, is okay. actually, it'd be a-okay and no worries at all if i were getting paid for the majority of this stuff. not the social stuff, clearly, but uh...yeah. and i reckon some things, i do get paid for. but it's about to get VERY VERY scary at the ponderosa del krueger. Very Scary. and i ain't talkin' about halloween, folks.

the big hope - other than the jobs i've replied to - is that i'll get some work through this agency. that would be bad-ass. one or two gigs a month and i might be okay. really. which is ideal. of course, there's zero gauruntee of that. i have no clue how to spell gaurantee. that second time seems closer, nu?

anypoo...uh, i say i've lost my mind for any number of reasons. but the most pressing one at this moment is the 'applying to a job at the ga aquarium'. mama hates aquariums. they're dark and creepy and those fish stare right the fuck back at you. they're creepy, creepy places. even the ones that try to use natural light. but the job that i've applied to is pretty cool - if it's what i think it is. the description on all three websites (including the aquarium web site) is REALLY vague, but it sounds like another 'alternative education' type of teaching thing. which i am 100% down with. and yeah, i'd love to do some office work, but this would be super-cool too.

so we'll see what happens. maybe something. maybe nothing. either way, by the time november hits, mama's gotta have an income supplement or...man....

wish me luck kids, this job market is total bullshit right now. even for part-time assholes like me.

Whew! Just reading this makes me tired. That's awesome that you got signed with an agency, though!

Job hunting sucks. Hang in there!
