I like this new one very much. I like grass. Some people eat grass. I’ve never eaten grass myself, aside from a few blades as a kid. That was more out of curiosity, not a real commitment to getting a meal out it. Cows eat grass. It sounds less appealing though when it’s called cud. Maybe if I had four stomaches I would eat grass. Maybe it only takes two stomaches to eat grass, and the cows are just going over kill. Who’s to say?

So I haven’t blogged in a long time. My apologies.
I got a job! Yay! Pay is 13 dollars an hour with benefits after 90 days. I’m a receptionist at a pediatric dental office, and guess what? My benefits don’t include dental. AWESOME. I guess I had better start flossing. My co-worker, who has the exact same job description as me and was hired at the same time, has decided that we are not co-workers but competitors. She’s really cold, passive aggressive, and has been pissing me off since day one. Every day I feel like I’m battling for my job. That’s worse that interviewing for jobs. Anyway, blah, I’m going to annihilate her with a ray gun next Thursday. I’ll tell you how it goes.
Despite having steady employment, I’m still worry on a regular basis about our continued residence in the Pacific Northwest. Boyfriend still hasn’t found a job, and we really need two incomes if we’re going to make it. We can’t afford to come home for Christmas, and I’ve been really sad about it. Thanksgiving was rough. I spent the entire day on Wednesday curled up on the couch crying. Good thing I had the day off. I’m not sure how Christmas will be. Needless to say, I miss my family, and I miss the Trifecta.
As far as future plans go, I got nothing. I haven’t scheduled the GRE yet and I haven’t been doing any writing. My muse has visited me a few times, but I’m ignoring her. I don’t know why. No good reason really. I guess I’m just sort of paralyzed with this fear of failing at my future. That doesn’t really make sense. I’m not sure how to put it into words what I’m going through. It’s sort of an identity crisis. I’m sure lots of people go through this in their twenties, but they don’t talk about it. Everybody just talks about how awesome their twenties were and how they wish they could be that age again. Maybe I’ll enjoy the latter half anyway.
On the bright side, I did make a delicious Thanksgiving meal including homemade biscuits and pumpkin pie made from my pumpkin Gloria. She was delicious. I also cooked a very tasty turkey, and I ate some. GASP. I didn’t want to give up the turkey tradition. Thankfully, the holiday indulgence didn’t make me miss meat. If anything, it reinforced my vegetarianism. I think I’m in for the long haul…but I probably will continue to make turkeys on Thanksgiving. I like tradition.
Also, I saw the movie Twilight. It was decent. The vampires were pretty sexy, and the plot was good. It took itself way to seriously at times, but those parts were just hilarious. Nikki and I had a nice time chatting and laughing throughout the movie. We also paid fifteen dollars for a large soda, large popcorn, and a box of Junior mints. Yeah.
