So I've been neglectful of my (e:strip) journal. bad (e:strip)per. especially since I'll actually be living in the (e:strip) soon and will no longer be a poser from Kenmore/Amherst as I am right now.
I'm sure y'all know about (e:MK) and I getting a SWEET apartment on Richmond. We're PUMPED.
It's great when good comes out of bad. Loooong story short my aunt's ex-husband has a LOT of stuff in his old apartment he won't be coming back for so we get it. A bed frame, TV, bookshelf, Coffee table, dishes, kitchen table and chairs and some other random stuff. Plus we have a lot of stuff from my grandparents including a mattress and box spring that I need.
The only thing we've spent money on so far is the couch...which we bought thanks to a tip from (e:jill) at the As Is store at the Salvo on Military... For this couch which is a full sized sleeper sofa we paid $15. Excused me, $16.31 with tax. And we bought a mattress topper for $40 to make the bed comfortable for our drunk friends who need a place to crash. We'll need to buy new bedroom stuff and a chair for the living room. And I'm buying a table from a friend of mine for $10. Awesome.
I can't wait to move in.
June 9th!!! Free Beer! Free Pizza!! Lots of Maloy quality time!! wooooo!!!

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 MovieSaw "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) ooooooooooverLast 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?

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.

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.

In ClassI'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.
