i wouldn't hesitate to describe my post-graduate school job search as painful. i've turned down jobs i probably should have taken. i've been turned down for jobs i would have given my arms and legs to have. i've been offered jobs that were un-offered to me and the re-offered to me within a matter of days. and i can't count the number of times a job has started out in boston, but ended up in a place like los angeles or fayetteville by the time i received an offer.
more than one person has told me that i'm being too picky. to those people i again quote douglas fitch, and say, "the tragedy of life is not failure, but aiming too low and becoming complacent with what you have." i refuse to be underpaid, undervalued, uninspired, and living beneath my cosmic potential. I WANT MORE.
i also want a zillion dollars, so let me know if you can help me out with that.
i've been thinking a lot about my life lately, and i've come to the conclusion that many people have come to before me: life is not so much about finding yourself as it is about creating yourself; and it is never too late to become who you are supposed to be. i am supposed to be AMAZING. i know this. you know this. everyone knows this. amazing is my destiny.
losing 10 pounds in also my destiny, and i started yesterday. 144.2 and please hold me accountable. if i actually make it down to 134.2 i will be the skinniest i've been in 5 years. holla' at a soon-to-be flat chested girl!
something else unrelated to the fact that i ate salad for lunch today and almost vomited because i hate salad as much as i hate long puffy pubes. . . i love my friends:
oh, and sorry about that whole false alarm about my blog going black. i was miserable for about 9 hours and then i decided that misery was not an option i enjoyed. i've done the misery thing before, and honestly, it's not all it's cracked up to be.
