So, when I get to work I usually spend about an hour and a half obsessively looking at and applying to various jobs. After I have run that well dry, I usually have absolutely nothing else to do except occasionally answer the phone, and I'm not even doing that much anymore because we're so extremely dead around here right now.

So, the point is, are there any websites you guys go to to entertain yourselves when you're bored? I'm mostly interested in sites where I can add more brain cells, because since I've been away from school for so long, they're slowly starting to die. But I am an entertainment whore as well, as we all know. So, let me know about those websites you think might keep me entertained in the long, cold hours of the morning.

Also, if you know of any good job-looking places, especially for writers or creative types, let me know. I mean, other than the usual places (journalismjobs.com, monster, hotjobs, craigslist, career builder) and such.. I need more places to obsess about.

So, let me know! I am depending on YOU for my entertainment, people! Muahahaha.

WHY is it so taboo for someone to actually LIKE Friends and to be SAD about the show ending? I have loved Friends for many, many years and I do not wish to be punished for this fact. Ever since my roomate and I started to be Friends enablers, I realized that I am not alone in this addiction. So damnit people, let me enjoy my Friends finale without making me feel guilty! When the hell did Friends become a guilty pleasure anyway?

Bastards.

For fun times, I stole this from her.

EXOTIC FOREIGNER ALIAS = Favorite Spice + Last Foreign Vacation Spot

Pepper Tijuana

SOCIALITE ALIAS = Silliest Childhood Nickname + Town Where You First Partied

I have two for this one:

Elizabitch Arlington

or

Bootie Austin

I mean, either one is great.

"FLY GIRL" ALIAS (a la J. Lo) = First Initial + First Two or Three Letters of your Last Name

I'm not so comfortable with this one, so I'll do Axl's real name instead:

W. Bail.

Yay!

DIVA ALIAS = Something Sweet Within Sight + Any Liquid in Kitchen

Bundt Cake Dr. Pepper.

(Seriously. That's the only one I managed to come up with.)

GIRL DETECTIVE ALIAS = Favorite Baby Animal + Where You Last Went to School

Puppy Denton

BARFLY ALIAS = Last Snack Food You Ate + Your Favorite Drink

Peanut Margarita

Oh yeah.

SOAP OPERA ALIAS = Middle Name + Street Where You First Lived

Anne Arbor. I believe there's already a CITY named that, however. So, if it's the third street I grew up on..

Anne Chimneysweep.

I like it.

PORN STAR ALIAS = First Pet's Name + Street You Grew Up On

Tawnee Arbor.

ROCK STAR ALIAS = Any Liquid on the Bar + Last Name of Bad-Ass Celebrity

Whiskey Thurman.

Which is really just the COOLEST name ever.

So that was good times, right?

If you have any really fun ones, leave a comment or some such. Really, this whole entry is not a desperate plea for feedback. ITS NOT!

I'm bored. Also, my dad is 60 years old today. That makes him exceedingly old in the whole scheme of things.

a year ago..

"This is so bad, and it's one of the biggest signs that we shouldn't get back together, like, ever, but it's true: I am kinda happy that he's depressed. Seriously. If he were happy, out celebrating every night, deleriously in love with his girlfriend, I would think that I had no affect on his life. When he was with me, he was still sad, but he wasn't depressed, he was happy. Plus, he was getting some twice a week! And he had my support every day, and I really think he benefited from that."
