I don't know how they do it. I don't know how people work full time jobs, and still have a social life. I've been working full days for the last few weeks, and I've only done "fun" thing about 3 times in those weeks, and really I'm exhausted. I'm so thankful that I only have to work the afternoon tomorrow. Of course, that all gets shattered when I realize that I have to work 8 hours on Saturday. That's just wrong! I hate doing work on weekends. I will make the exception for housework, but homework and job work are just not meant for Saturdays or Sunday. But that's just my view of it.
Recently discovered the purpose of the profiles and listing favorites. Found a few people who share my interests, including people who list Jane of Lantern Hill as a favorite book. I'm not alone!!! Yayness!
So glad I invited a friend to the young adults Bible study this week. It was entirely a social situation, and if he hadn't been there, I'd have sat, uncomfortable silent the entire time. As it was, I got to be included some in the conversation. I still need to see Napoleon Dynamite as it seems I'm the only person not to have ever seen it (on earth or in that group, I'm not sure).
Wish I could see that "Chase Me" short somewhere other than the boring Mystery of the Batwoman DVD. That short rocks.

Ok, call me a hypocrite
Here I sit, listening to Josh Groban and wearing "Ugg" look a like boots. I intend to at sometime go out and buy bootleg jeans, soon. All things that at least a month ago (in certain cases) I said I wouldn't do. I bought a Josh Groban CD, I bought these boots, and I will be using my own money to buy jeans that are not wide-leg.
I changed my mind.
Which leads me to a question; when is it changing your mind, and when is it being hypocritical? Of course, hypocrisy doesn't mearly apply to little things, like fashion; or does it? If I were to suddenly say that mini-skirts were perfectly modest pecies of clothing, would that be mind-changing, or hypocrisy? I still think mini-skirts are ugly and immodest, though.
I guess the real meaning of hypocrisy is saying one thing and doing another. But still, in a way wearing these boots and getting other jeans seems like I've given up. I've given into what fashion says looks good, instead of going with my own opinion. But my opinion has changed. I like these boots. I still think boot-leg is merely one step away from those frighteningly hideous bellbottoms that plagued fashion for awhile.
Am I over thinking a few articles of clothing? Maybe. Maybe I'm just shrinking down an issue I've been dealing with, concerning myself and others, to a manageable level; one that can be discussed online for any and everyone to stumble across and ponder for themselves.
Who knows.
Till next I write.

Happy New Year
Happy New Year, and I hope everyone had an enjoyable Christmas.
My Holidays were cool and fun, with lots of food. Then Jan 2 came around and right after church, while waiting to go through a drive-thru ATM our van got rear-ended. Crappy way to start a new year, in my opinion, but hey, we all were ok, praise God. They did have to take my Aunt, who was visiting over the holidays, to the ER to do some X-rays, but she was ok. We're all a little sore still.
On to cheerier subjects, I got the coolest Christmas presents. They included a cool limited edition Breyer model, "The Lifeguard of the Queen's Household Cavalry". Collectible, Horse-y, and British! Happy me! :) I also got a CD labeling system thing-a-ma-jig. I can now label all the CDs I make off of I-tunes purchases. Only made two so far, but they're really cool. Also got Avonlea DVD sets, the first three seasons. Yay, two seasons of Gus Pike, no waiting! We walso got a pool/air hockey table. So yeah, my Christmas was fun.
Back to working only half days. Today seemed really short, but I guess 4 hours is short compared to 8 a day. Of course I'll get paid half what I was paid before. 'Sokay, I don't spend all that much.
Still haven't heard Jeremy Camp's new CD. Really, really want to. Also want to hear Relient K's new one, but not with any "really"s.
That's all for now, until something good happens.
