morrigirlGuess what I have right here in front of me sitting on a nice shiny new computer cart? Okay I guess the word computer gave it away! That's right, last night Mom finished putting the cart together and I hooked up the computer.
Let me tell you this baby is bee you tea full!!! It's so much faster than the laptop, I can talk on IM again, I can play video games, it is simply fabulous! Haven't tested out the DVD player yet because I'm having a hard time figuring it out. But I'm sure I'll get the hang of it eventually.
I love this computer. I love this desk. Even though it may very well kill us some day considering that the only place to put it was directly in front of the fire escape. Oh well, internet is pain. Or something :-/ But I've got all my little stuffed animals and my Bratz displayed on the shelves so, ya know, should I one day lurch for the fire escape and not be able to reach it I can at least stare into the faces of my lovely toys as I burn to death.
Today, while rather frazzling, has also been quite eventful. Set up a job interview for tomorrow. It's at a law firm in the financial district. I'm not expecting to get the job, so I'm thinking of this as interview practice. Ya know, the first interview I went on I was really nervous about. The second one was slightly better but I was still a little shaky. I'm feeling a bit more relaxed about this one, and hopefully with each subsequent interview I'll grow more confident with my skills as an interviewee. Cause, let's face it, a job interview is similar to a standardized test; doesn't tell you anything about the person other than how well they do on interviews. So, I just need to get the hang of selling myself, and appearing more skilled than I actually am.
Had dinner with Elisabeth today. She came up here and we went to the City Diner. I haven't seen her all summer so it was nice. It's weird hanging out with her though. On some level I think both of us just wanted to go back home to our computers ASAP. We're so used to being alone now that it's comfortable to us. Our friends are no longer as much of a comfort as our solitude.
I feel bad about the petering off of my writing recently. But like I said, livejournal has kind of won me over. And as much as I hate to say it...I don't like SCN very much anymore. I haven't been to the Religion forum in...I can't remember how long. I've stopped checking the BS Regs board simply because I feel really out of place in that group. I've even stopped replying to most of my tags! The only places I visit with any regularity are the two groups I run. They're my babies so I like to keep them happy and healthy.
But...at livejournal I have a really solid support network. I love their communities and all my buds, my real life buds, are out there.
So...I think I'm finally gonna make the switch. There really isn't any reason for me to stay around. This journal has run it's course and served me well. No doubt I'll miss writing out here. But...hey, a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do.
So if there is anyone here at SCN who would like to continue reading about the soap opera that is my life please leave some feedback in this entry letting me know. In a week or so I'll check back, compile a list of the names and emails, and if I decide I like you (:-) ) I'll send an email letting you know the address of my livejournal.
Later days, and better lays,
Carla
