I found out I might be laid off last week. I thought at first I was in shock, since I had no reaction; but after a few days, when the “yes, The Man and Big Brother, Inc. are cutting outsource employees from our company by 50% next year and you’re part of that 50%” statement [...]
I have been ignoring this website, but well you know what they say about girls who have time to write in their journals…anyway! Life these past few months has seen quite a few changes.

Catherine the Great and I, our first year in college. Our hair is wet because…well that’s a fun story.
She and I both were stressed out. She, much more than me…her first rugby game, she broke her wrist. I still had tennis to destress me. So, her mom put her up in that schmancy froofy hotel [...]
This weekend I went car shopping with my best friend, Ploman. There was a giant sale at one of the local dealerships, and he had seen online that they had an ‘02 Civic with 60k miles for $11k. I told him he had to take me with him because I’m Super Negotiator when it comes [...]
