i’m thinking this would be a good profession for me. i would love to put people behind bars for cruelty. if you can’t afford or do not know how to take care of an animal, DON’T GET ONE!
i probably shouldn’t watch these shows.

John (of course) is listening to Johnny Cash. I love it. I posted on twitter already that these little moments of happiness make me love life. I come home from an unproductive day at work to find him in a clean house blaring “The Beast in Me.”
I have just finished reading “Killer Kids”, which is about children/teenagers who kill their parents. It’s not very disturbing. I have just started reading “Loss of Innocence”, which IS disturbing because it’s about kids who kill other kids. Something about that just makes me ill inside. But I can’t set it down.
Isn’t that funny how even though something evokes such strong emotion, I still want to experience it. It’s like I like the adrenaline rush of all that emotion, almost? I don’t know.
Don’t take your guns to town.

I’m trying a new business opportunity. I’m pretty excited about it.
I’m a Mark. representative. It’s kind of like Mary Kay, but way more modern products and a lot cheaper.
Please visit my online store.

Everything is very VERY affordable (between $2-$10) and I guarantee the products work! They sent me a whole case of them, and they’re incredible!
Love,
Ray

Relevancy is fading, and hiding becomes easier to do. Women cover up their lines with fakeness and make this harder than it has to be.
Real life in real time with real words and silly rhymes. Dying every day is something we all dread, laying in our beds alone at night.
Sighing and signing our lives away on leases and contracts and relationships that don’t last. Words that won’t pass. That replay in your head. Like the raven’s call forevermore. I feel like Eleanor (dead).
Well, I tried. I used to be so inspired all the time to write. I would have this craving to write. And I think it’s coming back. So I will be posting my attempts much more often.
In other news, I am thinking about becoming a Mark. Cosmetics rep. It has a very minimal start up cost, and the benefits are unbelievable. We will see how it goes.
Love,
Ray

Twenty things that make me go GRR:
1. When I put too much sugar in my coffee and have to pour out the whole cup
2. When two of my favorite shows are on at the same time and I have to switch back and forth between them.
3. When a reality show’s season finale doesn’t go the way I want.
4. When it’s too hot outside and I have to wait for the A/C to cool down my apartment.
5. When my iTunes keeps playing the same artist over and over even though it’s on “shuffle”.
6. When all the clocks in my house are set at different times and I don’t know which one is right.
7. When things get so dirty that I just don’t feel like cleaning them and I wallow in the filth instead.
8. When I need a shower but I don’t feel like it so I wallow in my filth instead.
9. When I eat the last Thin Mint out of a box and I think there is another box in the fridge, but there’s not. “I would have eaten that last one slower if I had known it was the VERY last,” I think.
10. When a comedian on Comedy Central Presents thinks he/she is funny but is not.
11. When I see a group of girls all wearing bug-eye sunglasses and camis prancing around buying things with their daddy’s credit card.
12. When I have to use scissors because a bag is too hard to open.
13. When things go stale.
14. When I am trying to sleep and just when I fall asleep someone calls me.
15. When people leave me a voicemail but then when I call them they repeat the same message again.
16. When a radio station overplays a song until I don’t like it anymore.
17. When people think that saying “thank you,” very sincerely is a tip.
18. When someone asks me for my last cigarette KNOWING it’s my last one, and KNOWING I will feel obligated to give it to them because they said “Please!”
19. When I hear a generic song.
20. When things run out of batteries and die right in the middle of using them.
Yes, this is how I spend most mornings. Making lists of things. Not always lists of bad things. Just lists.

I have had a couple interesting months. New job, new friends, and soon a new apartment! Times are much better now. I have just the right amount of money to keep me happy and fed. These new friends are fun, too.
I can’t wait to go back to school.

I know it’s a little late for these, but I wanted to put some thought into them. I didn’t want to just be that girl who says, oh I’ll eat better and work out more. Then February comes, and she’s stuffing herself with potato chips like nothing ever happened. No thanks.
Resolution 1.
I have decided that I will no longer lie to my parents. [Sorry mom, but I have to say it...]. I did it almost every day since I was around 15 or 16 and I’m sick of it. I lived in fear of getting in trouble. I feel ashamed for doing it. They have done so much for me since I moved out. They have given me so many things that I did not and still do not deserve. My mom bought groceries for me while I continued to make bad decisions. They paid for court fees and driving classes even though they did not support how I was living. I was thinking about this a lot last night, and made a decision that I would never have made last year. When I told them I would not drive without a license this next six months, I meant it. For the first time, I made them a promise and have no intention of breaking it. A year ago, I would have assured them that I would not drive, and then proceed to drive whenever I felt like it. Now, I am sucking it up and riding my bike or walking to work. I realize they have poured a lot of time, money, and effort into helping me and it’s time that I did the same for them.
Resolution 2.
I haven’t had a coke since December. I miss soda, but I know how unhealthy it is for me, and how many calories I used to drink every day. It was hard at first, but now the results are showing.
Resolution 3.
I will be myself. I make this resolution every year, and every year I get a little better at it. This year, I have put aside many, MANY insecurities. I used to always be sad because I never fit in with the group I went to high school with. Not that I ever really tried to fit in with them in the first place. I realized that I didn’t NEED to fit in with them. I don’t really like the same things they do, or think the way they think. This is not a bad thing. I’m just different from them. I will never have much in common with them, and it’s okay with me. No more feeling left out or strange.
There they are. I hope that I can stick to them and have a happy and fun year.
Love,
Ray

I really hate the glaucoma test. It scares me and unsettles my feeling of well-being.
But I have some intelligent looking new glasses being made for me. They will be a nice rest from my overdose of contacts. Apparently my corneas are swollen from wearing the same pair for so long. Ouch. They gave me a new pair that feel fantastic, and my sweet mother ordered me a box of them.
I’m looking for a new job. Every day at work gets worse, every customer more irritating. I want to wear cute outfits to work, not khakis and a dirty t-shirt that passes for a uniform. Frustration is worse than any other emotion I feel.
