the good times are killing me

i did the wake up at 8:05 and arrive at work by 9:15 thing this morning. i was up entirely too late gabbing with darlingjason. you should all be really quite proud of my self-restraint, i know i am. sometimes i amaze myself. next time won’t be so easy.

so class starts today and i’m so very excited and nervous that i can’t hardly sit still. i love/hate the first day of class. love it because there are so many new people and old friends i get to see, hate it because i have to introduce myself.

what should i say?

hi i’m jodi and. . .

“…many people who have never met me are in love with me already!”

By the way, my fledgling blog, as “vanilla” as it is, is mostly due to your influence. Thanks for finding a NEW way for me to waste my time.

Hi, my name is Jodi and I fantasized about dressing my last writing teacher in a Catholic school girl uniform and tying him to the tree in my backyard. Are any of you well toned and suggestible?

Make up a secret persona for yourself and act as if you almost believe it. A spy is a pretty good one. So’s substitute lion tamer for Sigfried and Roy. Tell them Roy is feeling much better and sends his love.

class starts at 5 and ends at 7. i’ll have my cell with me, but it’ll be off during class since some people like to call during classes.

Things I Want to Tell You

Interview #2 at place I would enjoy working at went really well. I'm pretty pumped. [+]

Can I get an AMEN! This woman responds to the Jezebel Hullabaloo the way I wish I could have, had I not been blacking out with the rage. I agree that drinking a lot and having a lot of sex with different men is not feminism. It might be your lifestyle choice and a lot of fun -- go you, but it has nothing at all to do with being a feminist. I think once I simmer down a bit, I will chalk up the whole Hullabaloo to a few drunk 20something girls being stupid and naive, because, that's what 20something girls do. We've all done it, and not to get all sage woman of the earth, but something changes for women when they turn 30. I don't know what it is, I cannot define it, but other woman will agree 30 is a magical age where suddenly you seem more yourself, you think before you speak, you look back at your 20something self and realize what an idiot you were, but you still love that girl. I'm just hoping these Jezebel-girls will be so kind to their 20something selves when they look back at how absolutely foolish they were. {via fimoculous, whose comments are all men discussing the issue which makes me a little sad}. [+]

I had avoided the whole Jezebel hullabaloo until this morning when I was reading Mediation's thoughts on the nonsense. I followed his links to the Metafilter discussion and it was after watching the video there that I blacked out from sheer rage. I'm so angry I can't even write anything coherent. [+]

I just applied for a for reals job for the first time since 2000 (three fors in one sentence, go me). I feel a little like I'm going to barf. I forgot how nerve-wracking it is to want something like this. [+]

"Never mind that while he was on my ass about being in lust with a celebrity who lives in France and has two children with a French model, Greg was in love with a girl from, you know, like, down the street." Peabo cracks me up. [+]

I am celebrating my independence by sitting around in my pajamas until noon. [+]
