Like the blue? I’m on the fence. I think it’s wierd that all social networking logos are some shade of “web 2.0″ blue.
Something odd happened to me yesterday. I was talking to my buddy Spencer over at PureGrainAudio, and he was stressing over the site workload, posting news and whatnot. Of course being me, I made a “hurr I’ll do it I don’t do anything all day anyway” comment…then he leaves for a second, comes back with the owner of the site into the conversation, we talk, and apparently I have a gig posting news now. The details will be ironed out today or tomorrow, but being paid to blog?
HECK YES.
Because you all care about my health: Over the past month or so, I’ve become ridiculously lethargic. I barely leave my apartment, I’m always tired as crap, and when I do go out it’s always this huge production like UGH I HAVE TO GET READY SO MUCH EFFOOOOOORT and there’s been more than one occasion where I’ve just gone back to sleep after having a shower with my initial plan to go out somewhere. What the frig! Maybe I need to remember to take my vitamins. That might be it. Actually I’m pretty sure that’s it.
No, I don’t know what happened with Steve’s. I was told I was hired, and then also told to wait for a call. Which hasn’t come yet.
I really, really want that job at Filament. I have no idea why my interview was scheduled for such a far away date, or how many people I’m up against, but cut me a goddamn break already, life. I had a chance at an interview in North York, and I had to decline because of the crazy bus trip it would be. If you know me, I don’t do long bus rides. No dice.
I’m addicted to Restaurant City and I hate myself.
I came across the best thing ever last night. A blog called Hyperbole and a Half. Everyone should read it because this girl is hilarious and amazing and I want to hang out with her. HEY ALLIE YOU ARE FUN I LIKE YOUR LIFE. Also her blog is all the hell over my facebook feed and I thank myself for that. Huuuuh. Maybe.
Best for last: Toronto is apparently getting our own version of Jersey Shore. But instead of Italians, it’s going to be about “Persian princes and princesses“. This made me throw up in my mouth a little. The Craiglist ad for the casting call is… amazing.
The only thing more amazing, is that I’ve been waking up every hour since 6 and finally given up. I hate you, mornings. You a cold bitch. Maybe I’ll go get a bagel.

I was just going to ask what happened with Steve's. Sorry it doesn't seem to have worked out. But good going on getting paid to post blogs! (I mean, assuming that works out).
I sleep way too much. If left alone, I can easily sleep 17 or 18 hours, without getting up at all. Thankfully I usually don't sleep more than 12 hours. And then I feel too tired to do much.
I keep wanting to ask you questions that may be too personal to ask publicly. Like – have you ever been to a therapist for your agorophobia? Don't get me wrong – if you've developed ways of coping with it, and it works for you, that's great. But I'd hate for it to get in the way of being able to work at a dream job.
I am sorry I keep asking you personal stuff. I just can't seem to help myself.
Anything a therapist would tell me, I could learn on my own. Plus they're far too expensive. I have books, I've read countless articles/forums/etc and talked to a lot of people about it. Where I am right now is CRAZY far from where I was when I first moved to Toronto. I could hardly leave my dorm room.
The bus thing isn't a huge deal, as I can obviously get around the city without them, and short bus rides are fine. It's definitely not a dream job, but it would be a lot better if it was closer. It just wasn't meant to happen – just means something better will come up. Like my interview on Tuesday with Filament. :D
