First of all, this is the first post I've made in a while and I HATE the new interface.  Seriously.  WTF?

Second, I've started online dating.  Or, well, not dating.  I've not yet had a date.  But online messaging.  It's been about 10 days and so far... well... I'm not any more successful online than I am in real life.  Oh well.  It's something to do.  Oh, and for those of you who might be wondering how that fits into the whole "permission to stop trying so hard in dating" thing, it's simple.  I'm a little bit of a hypocrite.  A very, very bored hypocrite.

Third, I'm currently looking for a job.  For those of you who are familiar with the job market in Pocatello... it blows.  I've had a couple of interviews, but it's hard to even apply for things because there are so few job openings that I'm even qualified to apply for.  My goal is one application per day.  Sometimes I make it.  Other times... no one is hiring that day, so I don't apply.  I would really like to have something to do.  Something that doesn't involve Facebook.  I think it's time to start volunteering somewhere.

Fourth, sewing is one of the most frustrating, rewarding things I have ever done.  I took a costume construction class this past semester, and afterwards I decided to buy a sewing machine and have been making stuff since.  I've made some stuff for me and for other people as well, and I've been really enjoying the results.  The only problem I've been having is that I haven't finished reorganizing my room to make space for said sewing machine, so I've had to settle for sewing in the living room.  Having to clean up and pack my stuff to my room every night and bring it back to the living room and unpack it the next day kind of puts a damper in working on projects.  But cleaning is much less fun than sewing so...

Meh, that's all for now.  I kept avoiding the two things I want to talk most about, and this is no different.  Blah. Maybe later.
