What?! No PICTURES?

You'll handle it. I like this blog a lot. Almost toooo much, one might say. So that's why I've decided to trust it with personal thoughts. Granted, being this *is* the Internet and people do know how to copy and paste, I've always been one to keep my issues to myself, and use this as a positive outlook. I intend to keep it that way. I just felt like typing.

First off, I've decided to start a web comic. I know, right? How many people actually start a web comic? Perhaps a million, maybe more. If your a nerd, and you see other nerds out there that made it good with a web comic, you think you can. And I have major doubts about it, honestly. It's just like this: I have tons of funny random jokes. I'm not that great a crowds, I don't have the literary prowess to write a novel at the age of 22, and I need a creative outlet. The problem with this, however, is my blatant inability to draw. Period. Horrible drawer is I.

I've told a few people that I want to start a web comic, which in turn has inspired all of *them* to start a web comic. I think this is part of the problem. But to say the least, I hope it works out for them. I know of two people, Greg and Matthew, that I know will succeed in their endeavors, but a comic is a hard thing to do!

Secondly, I have a confession. I have started a diet. It's the first one I've ever been on, but I really think it's about time. I can't stand looking at all those dreaded family pics with my sisters all skinny and slender and me chubby and baggily clothed. So I went to http://www.sparkpeople.net and set up my subscription (which is free) and started counting calories, and drinking water, and it's all been very helpful-(although I find the groups something of a joke-I got an email saying "join our 'secret' club because our leader is awesome and only wants certain people to join us...yeah....no thanks...I'll stick with clubs a little more open) but I've yet to lose weight. My best friend Trina is also doing the same program-we started the same week. She's lost 11 freaking pounds. I've gained 1/2 a pound. I stocked my fridge with fruits and vegetables and started portion control. I started trying to drink at least 8 glasses of water a day. I had to pee like a race horse, and was traumatised with how small my bathroom is beginning to feel. And my cat thinks I'm crazy. But I found out Trina's secret. She just got a new job that requires moving all day, AND she's doing wii fit. I don't have a wii, nor can I afford one because I don't have a freaking JOB. And OH do I need one. Badly. T.T

I've applied at several locations-and I haven't been hired at all. My expertise is heavy on the call center, and light on the anything else. The last job I had was at a place called Cosco-I quit that one because the manager was PSYCHO, (all caps, seriously) and PUSHED me because I was asking someone a question *away* from my desk. Lol, but that job wasn't for me anyways-I like people that are friendly with their employees. Some of the workers are hoping (dead serious) that she'll die in a motorcycle accident soon so they can take her job, because they see no other way to get past her.

Ah, the reminiscing. It's just been a good day, I guess. Brian came home, we drove around and joked and laughed, and then went and had some amazing Gumbo, and then drove home and hung out in a thunderstorm. And laughed. And joked.

I love that man.

*sigh*

I still want a puppy though. <.<
