i think i need a job!

so, since i've been spending countless hours playing video games (i blame terry for getting me interested in DDR, which i don't have, and Mario Kart, which i kick ass at right now), i feel that i am doing what i should have done when i was in high school. so i feel like a bum, and i've never really been a bum in my life before.

and people keep offering me jobs. pretty good jobs too. and i'm not even looking for a job right now. the thing is, i know i could just take one of these jobs, become a wage slave again and get $$$$. but i'd like something more meaningful.

does anyone have any recommendations for websites that i should look at to find nonprofit jobs, specifically that have to do with renewable energy or, even better, holistic healing and spirituality? i know that there must be jobs like that out there, but i don't know where to look!

i drive an suv because i love war

grr.
i'm so pissed off. i was just riding my bike home when a woman driving one of those huge cadillac suvs layed down on her horn for about 15 seconds at me. i looked at her and she was violently motioning at me that i should be riding on the sidewalk. (nevermind that where i live, it is illegal to ride on the sidewalk)
so then she got a red light and i went up to try to talk to her, but alas, the light turned green so all i could do was at least try to scare her by hitting her window. i was really angry.
then she rode past me again, beeping all the more.

this experience just showed me many things that are wrong with this country. why do people buy huge tanks that are too damn wide for the lane? why do people only think about themselves and not the environment or the poor kids fighting to defend our desire to own gas-guzzling cars? why do people not think that riding your bike is o.k.? i've had this kind of shit before when i'm riding.

i swear, if there was a cheap way to do it, i'd totally make up some bumper stickers that said "i drive an suv because i love war"

i'm emily!

hey! i'm emily!

so, i'm this super idealistic chick who's totally into energy and trying to give all the world a huge smile whenever i can. don't know how i'm going to use my idealism to support myself yet, but i'm trying to figure that out.

i grew up around buffalo, and although there's a part of me there, my physical body is hanging out somewhere else now. i don't feel that many roots to anywhere except buffalo for the moment, as i've been travelling for the past year, and spent about 4 months in buffalo in the winter and came back to visit in june.

i just went on a 4-day 200+ mile bike ride from boston to provincetown, cape cod. i never took a trip on a bike before. i love the pace of biking. i want to ride my bike across the country someday. i've wanted to do that for years. the problem is that i really don't know that i'll feel that much of an urge to get back on my bike for that many days. but, if it's really supposed to happen, it will.

i miss hanging out in buffalo, it's a really fun place. i hope to come back and visit sometime in the next month. especially now that my sister and my nephew Orien live there too! love you guys!
