rhetorical questions

why does it have to be so freakin hot at 1000 in the morning? i broke a sweat going from my front door to the car. something needs to be done about this! where's the evil villian and his freeze ray when i need him?

why haven't i been able to write about anything intellectual lately? has being out of school for 9 months really ruined my opinions and my thirst for knowledge and arguements?

why are ebay buyers so crazy? they are willing to pay 10 bucks for a shirt (+7.00 shipping) that i would have sold at my mom's garage sale for 50 cents. i mean, it's not like i'm advertising these things as brand new or anything! most of my clothes are in good condition though b/c i usually get tired of stuff not long after i buy it. bad habit i know. my auctions end today and i think the grand total was over $60 again this week. that's 100 bucks in two weeks! and i would have made like 5% of that if i took it to a garage sale. although i can't knock the ebay buyers. i've been trying to win a Palm handheld for like 2 weeks now. but i have a limit as to how much i'll pay, and usually that limit is half the retail value of the thing. AND i only bid on things that are new, never used, still in original packaging. i want a Palm Tungsten C with the keyboard and everything on the handheld, but those look like they sell for like 400 on ebay and i don't have 400 right now. so i'm lowering my expectations to a Palm Tungsten T2 which is just as neat w/o the keyboard.

why am i really excited about this new person in my life? i think it's the fresh outlook or something. i don't know. i'm really nervous at the same time. i'm afraid of what the future holds. i mean look at the track record, it can't be too promising. but then new people bring new opportunities and possibly new outcomes, so surely it can't all be bad. i get those butterflies you know? and every other time i've gotten the butterflies, bad things happen. so i guess that's why i'm nervous. i'm trying to stay positive though! and it's nice to have different people to talk to all the time.

chicago comes out tuesday. now that's something to be excited about. :)

updates

i'm down to posting like once a week. that's awful! i pledge to try harder.

fish is dead. i woke up sunday and he was stiff and laying at the bottom of the bowl. he's been flushed. i'll probably get another one, just not until i go to NC and back in exactly two weeks from today. yay!

job outlook is okay. i had one person ask me to send them my resume. it's a connection from work so he knows what i can do and how hard i work for little money. i also found out (from my dad) about this administrator at Childrens Hospital who's lost his admin. assistant. so i emailed him. and some lady in a chat room had me go to her company's website and fill out an application. AND i have an interview saturday at Kohl's but i'm not sure if i'm that interested in going back into customer service. yuck.

i have a date next week. what is that you say? i have no idea. it's been so long since i had one and i think the last official *date* i went on ended horribly so i've avoided them ever since. more info on this to come. i'll probably freak out and bail like usual. i might be coming down with some psychological disorder where i don't like being around people and getting to know them better and forming relationships and stuff. i'm really scared about this date thing! what if i get murdered? or raped? or humiliated? it's all the same in my head. blahblah overreacting

my ebay garage sale is going wonderfully. last week i sold 6 tshirts for 50 bucks. this week i'm selling pants and i think i'm up to more than 30 bucks for them. that doesn't sound much, but if i sold them at my mom's garage sale i'd only get like 50 cents a pair. so yeah i'd say my profit margin is increasing. maybe i can figure out a way to make enough money on ebay to support myself. hehe. i have to find more stuff to sell! and stop buying things!

i'm trying to win a Palm Tungsten C handheld. yes i know i'm a dork, but this thing is so awesome. and they retail for like 500 bucks. so we'll find out tomorrow if i'm the owner of one.

and i guess that's all for right now.
