Congratulations to you! I hope your graduation turned out well.

There are so many things that will make you feel so much older
In fact, while reading this, some of your youthful vitality has been lost.

christ, enjoy graduation, enjoy the cake, and worry about age when you are dead.

congratulations.

So you graduate on Mothers day, Interesting, I would think that is pretty uncommon. Hope you enjoy your day. I have heard two philosphies on fealing old that may or may not help. You are as old as you feal. That is the double edged sword one that means if you feal like you are young you will stay healthy and live as if you are young, it is meant to be very positive. But it also means that if you think you are old your body will respond the same way. But I think my favorite (aimed more at men then women) is "You are as old as the women you date (or can be replaced by fuck)" That can also be true. I'm guessing the real reason you feal old is because now that you are graduating life is going to change or you are in a new chapter of your life defined by graduation. You arn't old at all I like graudated around was it 9 or 10 years ago. So just try not to think about it and have a good time and enjoy the spring and summer and you will be fine.

Buffalo Movie
Saw "Buffalo Movie" last night at Road Less Traveled Productions.

The show had good energy and 2 bad actors, but all in all it wasn't so bad, I could go into great detail, but meh, don't feel like it.


The reason that I'm mentioning the show at all is to tell you that the word "Buffalo" was used an UNBELIEVABLE number of times in the show. 82 in the second act alone, I didn't count the first but it was probably just as many as the second. That's like 160 "Buffalo"s. WTF? we get it, we're in BUFFALO!

It depresses me when I can see friendships sliding away. Its for the best, we're growing apart and this friend is just depressing these days, and has been for the past year or so. I want to help them but in the many ways I've tried, nothing seems to work.

Total random sidenote, hung out with Becky Graham who went out with us for Joyce's 22nd bday, last night (when we saw Buffalo Movie) and I learned she works at the Customer Service desk at Wegman's and consequently also works at the dry cleaning counter and we traded war stories and pricing. it was magical. Long story short: Wegman's is waaaayy cheaper, but takes a lot longer and isn't as good. Like things constantly have to be sent back because they're really wrinkled or just not done right, that never happens at the Urban Valet, like I've never seen something I thought needed to be sent back because it was badly done. We're SWEET. haha. but we're EXPENSIVE.

Like at Wegman's a man's dress shirt is $1.35 if you want it hung on a hanger, its $2.25 here. But it takes 5 business days to get it back at Wegman's and 2 business days at the most here at the Urban Valet. Yes I'm actually at work as I'm writing this.

Why did I just write so much about dry cleaning?

So since you all like answering my questions I post in here (which is appreciated) has anyone here ever temped as in gone from one random job to another? I'm just wondering how much notice they give you and if you can say no without being screwed over and all that stuff.

It's (almost) oooooooooover
Last day of undergrad classes was yesterday. So I spent my first class at UB in Alumni 188, and my last. How poetic.

Went to a party for like an hour last night but had to leave early because I had to work at 7. booooo.

Senior Dinner tonight, I'm excited, but I know it'll be sad. Oh man, so sad. I fully anticipate many many tears.

I'm not too devastated about college ending (at the moment anyway).
I know I'll be sad tonight and at the formal and at graduation, and next semester when I hear about something happening that I would've been a part of if I was still at UB. It's going to be so weird.

I know I'll be fine and that eventually I will get over college (maybe by 35).

On the plus side, once I get a better higher paying job, (e:mk) and I are getting an apartment. It'll be sweeeeeeeet.

Anyone ever used an employment agency? A friend of mine used Dunhill Staffing and got a full time permanent job that way. I'm just not exactly sure what I have to do to get them to want to find me a job.

Total sidenote, am I the only one who always forgets the "publish" button is at the top, and clickes on the NEW: select multiple media files to upload thing instead?




jessbob - 05/01/07 22:42
Your sister is a jerk. I used Ablest one summer and they got me a temp job (that ended up lasting the summer) with decent pay within a day or two.
mastermindkg - 05/01/07 11:03
I used Addecco once, back in January. They called me two weeks later and I already had a job at the Walgreens on North and Delaware. But yeah if you wanna give them a try, they are on Summer and Delaware.
mk - 05/01/07 08:35
yeah. you're alone on that one. what a loser.

jk i have no idea.

In Class
I'm in class and not paying attention. This is awesome. Why don't I bring my laptop to class all the time?

Oh well, too bad undergrad is ending in 5 days.
Grad school will apparently be riddled with me on my computer not paying attention. Awesome.

Well done.

Apparently my professor knows someone who has ferrets and has many outfits for them.

My dad totally killed my guinea pig. He left him in the sun for too long and his water like boiled and he died.hahahaha. well done Jim Maloy.

I want a pet for when (e:mk) and I get an apartment.

maybe a hamster or a mouse. sweet.
lilho - 04/25/07 17:57
ok. am i wrong to think that mice and hamsters are gross? i mean, couldnt you just leave some food out and wait for the rodents to come, free of charge? you should get a yorkie poo!

04/23/2007 22:58 #39022

movin' out
so (e:mk) and I might get an apartment in the coming months.

she just asked me if its weird for siblings to live together, i responded with "who fucking cares"? who's with me?!?!

we found a building on Elmwood and Summer that seems sweet with all the things we deemed necessary (heat included, 24 hour emergency maintenance, security system) and best of all on site laundry and off street parking. sweeeeeeet.
mastermindkg - 05/01/07 07:39
Awesome, I'm down the block from there on Richmond. Didn't know so many of you livd so close. You may even have seen me (if I weren't such a hermit). But living on Elmwood is pretty sweet. Congrats!
metalpeter - 04/24/07 17:15
It doesn't sound weird to me at all. It might take a little bit of getting used to since it will be just you two. Plus there are at least a few peeps who stay in that hood. (e:vycious) is a couple blocks away go another block and you are at (e:PMT)'s. Heading down Summer gets you very close to my place. If memory serves (e:carolinian) lives a little bit past me but up on richmond. So don't be surpised if you run into some (e:peeps) just doing stuff in the neighboorhood.
joshua - 04/24/07 15:05
Trust me, its fine... you guys will live a few blocks down the street from us if you move there.

My only bit of advice, from one sibling to another, is try to avoid pushing each others buttons and keep arguments short and over quickly. Thats the secret that we've used to keep each other sane.

Otherwise its perfectly normal, especially if you get along well with your sibling.
ladycroft - 04/24/07 14:15
funny question really, because chances are you lived with each other most of your lives? ok i'm being a smart ass - but no, living with sis isn't much different than living with friends. i've done it, the larson twins do it...go for it. plus that's my neighborhood :)
museumchick - 04/24/07 09:19
I think it would be fun to live off Elmwood and Summer. You're right in the center of everything. Plus, you and M.K. seem like you're very close as sisters go.
