The State of Discontentment
I have been wanting to drive home to Michigan for a while for a few reasons. First of all, I miss my pets. I have a dog and two cats that live with my parents. My roommate is allergic to cats and sometimes, I swear to you, I have withdrawal from cats. They are so […]

Post Script
I am doing a writing project that requires the participation of a lot of people, hopefully mostly strangers. It’s very simple so if you could please do me this favor, I would be so grateful! Whether or not you are going to participate yourself, please pass the address along to anyone you feel might wish […]

I immediately, that very day, began plugging away at positions. I revamped the resume and went to task, because who can afford to be […]

The Waiting Game
Isn’t that the theme of my life? Hank hasn’t been paid in two months. Working in Spain, I guess, can sometimes be sketchy and his employer messed up the payroll. They only get paid once per month normally so missing one paycheck is huge. His boss claims he’ll receive pay for both this and last […]

Hello world!
Today, I feel quite wretched. I’m over here swallowing razorblades, knowing that I should probably get my tonsils removed to avoid going through this again and again. Being one who generally avoids doctors at all costs, I really can’t see actually doing anything but gritting my teeth until I recover. This is typical for me, […]
