Happy things

I have a job interview! Maybe I won't starve this summer. It's a little late for me to be starting a new job, but I'm still hopeful. A bit of work will get me out of the apartment, which will be good for me, and any amount of money will be helpful.

I have spent my day today updating my resume and writing cover letters for neat career-type jobs for the fall. I don't want to talk about the jobs yet, but trust me, you will be hearing a lot about them if somehow I actually get hired. Cover letters and resumes are actually kind of tedious, but it's all talking about me, so that's still pretty fun. Who doesn't like to spend the afternoon describing their accomplishments and skills? It's not something that you get to do in regular conversation, at least not all at once. Hee hee... I'm imagining if you had to apply to be someone's friend. "You should befriend me because I am intelligent and entertaining. I will provide hours of stimulating conversation on a variety of subjects. As you can see on my resume, I have friends of both genders and from all different disciplines. I am a very versatile friend who is not adverse to quiet evenings watching movies, though I am also a great dance partner..." That's so neat! I may have to start asking for the qualifications of all new friends I make.

Other happy things: My parents have given me money, so it looks like I just might not get evicted this summer. I like not being evicted. Also, my balcony seems to have become a popular chickadee hangout. They entertain me. I've decided that birds are extraordinarily cute when they hop around on the ground (or in this case, floor of my balcony).

Last night I watched The Triplets of Belleville. It was OK. I was expecting better, but I still enjoyed it. Tonight I have Donnie Darko to watch. I think that's all I have for now. A good song just came on the radio (Fat Bottom Girls by Queen) so I may need to go and use my hula hoop while the good beats last.
