Baaaahhh humbug.
I keep telling myself that I’m going to start taking pictures, but my camera is too complicated and I feel embarrassed pulling it out because I don’t know how to use it. But I’ve decided this can’t go on any longer! And I’m going to buy a book about it.

What's causing the garbage smell in my room?
Oh, you know, just a piece of no bake cookie that I had wrapped in a paper towel, stuffed in my stocking drawer, and then forgotten about. Oh yeah, it had only been there a FEW MONTHS, since this guy I was seeing at the time made them and gave me a few.
Currently feeling so accomplished as a twenty-three year old woman.

The art of losing isn’t hard to master; so many things seem filled with the intent to be lost that their loss is no disaster.
Lose something every day. Accept the fluster of lost door keys, the hour badly spent. The art of losing isn’t hard to master.

Oh Blair, this makes me so nostalgic for elementary school. Remember when you were...

Ughhhh I gotta get up to go get drug tested.
What a waste of time. I know I shouldn’t complain because it’s not like I had to interview for this job, but still. I don’t want to have to go pee in a cup. I just don’t wanna.
I dunno,
People can suck a lot. I did write this whole passive aggressive post about a girl I know who recently ended our friendship by blocking me on Facebook. But what’s the point? Of course I can be a bitch, but where does it leave me? Haters gonna hate. That bullshit isn’t worth my time.
Oh yeah, I do realize this post is totally livejournal circa 2003.

And I only have $20.75 in my bank account until Thursday (which is being put towards alcohol this weekend) so I can’t afford more. THIS IS BULLSHIT. UTTER BULLSHIT.
