where are they all? not with me, that's for hella sure. i applied at restoration hardware on grand (in st. paul, mn for all of those not intimately [did that make the word seem dirty? haha] acquainted with the twin cities of minnesota) thursday. if they don't even call me i'll cry. i have an effing four-year degree (technically 5) and 2 years of managerial experience. not to mention i'm the best guest service representative that grand hinckley inn has EVER had. muahahah. so i'd say i'm overqualified. could be that i'm wrong. we drove by alissa's place. i want to live there! it's on chestnut. literally two blocks away from the xcel center, rivercentre, and the science museum. not to mention la cucaracha and ben and jerry's. which, btw, kicks cold stone creamery's ass. but the place that kicks both of theirs? haagen dazs. wow. so how'd it happen that i went from talking about jobs to ice cream? no wonder i'm not as kick-ass as sarah* and lost 20lbs and have abs. oh, well. now that i have free time i plan on working my ass off (literally) working out and whatnot. so. back to jobs. i am going to apply for a graphic artist's job here in port washington, wi. (remember step-by-step? with danadanadanadana insert guitar chords here and cody and what not? yep, port washington, wi actually exists.) we'll see if we get it. shaun's mom was telling us that we'll be ok, we just probably have to take 'for now' jobs. which i am cool with. she also told me not to doubt my skills as a designer. she got emotional too, it was so sweet. so i guess i won't doubt my skills anymore. it's just that i compare myself to everyone else out there and know that i am seriously lacking. at any rate. she told me that her boss has a family friend who has a daughter that is a graphic designer who works for target (you have to love networking - it's a wondrous thing). i would SO love to work for target. especially since i'd be based in minneapolis. sweet. st. paul, here i come! i hope. but if not, it won't be the end of the world. i'd just have to make new friends. which i plan on doing at any rate. i have only a few friends. shaun has a job interview at apache steel in plover, wisconsin. which is the middle of nowhere. but it is a job. we need a job. i have student loans to pay. bleck.

tomorrow is beer fest. i am dd. i get to sit and eat food all day, which is really really bad. but it sure as hell does taste good! ugh. i wish my tastebuds would die. so i get to watch a bunch of drunk people, and it's practically guaranteed that i get to see boobies, too. like i don't see any at LEAST 2 times a day? the boyz are out at de o'malleys. they're good guys, and fun to hang with, i guess i'm just in a melancholy mood. we all (me, shaun, cory, nick, steve, jp, and paul) were at antonio's, but then they were sick of the standing and waiting forever to get beer. (like they're not drinking more than their fill tomorrow... at any rate...) so they decided that shaun would go buy a case of beer at a gas station in sheboygan falls that sells it until midnight. we get halfway there and they call jp who rode with shaun and i and tell him that they are at de o'malleys. so we turn around. i don't fancy hearing shaun being a jerk and talking mean about everything and listening to other inane boy talk so i ask him to drop me off at his house. so here i am, updating my blog. after this, i'm going to check ben's and travis's blog to see if they have anything interesting to say. going with doubt it.

oh, and i decided i'm going to buy graphic design books and teach myself to be a better graphic designer. maybe i'll just go back to school for that... or pasty chef school... or my master's... or maybe i'll just sit on the couch eating bonbons and watching soaps all day...
