adventures in college

After graduating high school, I grabed my diploma, swore off formal education and and ran as fast as I could. However a year and a half later I have turned into what I swore I never would-a college girl. This experience has been so strange and crazy that I decided to document it. This is about being a minimum wage slave to pay the rent, finals, parties, meeting strange people, roomates and cheap food.

Wasting time....

Yes, I am still sick and on the couch. My boyfriend draged himself to the doctors yesterday and he has bronchitis and is on an assortment of antibiotics and other fun medication. I on the other hand hate doctors. So while he is on the road to recovery, I am still laying stationary drowning in my own mucouse. I have been spending a sick amount of time on my laptop due to the unable to move/no TV situation. Here are a couple sites I have found that I really like.

The Reverse Cowgirl

I like reading all things that are have new ideas, are well written, maybea little bizzare and pertain to sex. This blog links articles, advertisements, movie trailers and mp3s that incorporate just such ingrediants.


My page on LastFM.com

LastFM keeps track of all the songs you listen to and then compiles them into weekly, monthly or yearly charts. It's sort of your own personal Billboard chart. It keeps track of your most popular artists, songs and what you've recently played. So go pay a visit and stalk the music I listen to on my computer.


Microcosm Publishing

I guess it's the nerd in me that makes me love zines, but boy do I love them. This site has the biggest selection I've found on the net. They also have posters, CDs, books, patches etc.

These are my top three, check them out and let me know if you like them. I'm sure alot of people have allready heard of them but add me on LastFM I need more friends! I might post more later if you guys like them...

Cheers to being a complete internet nerd for a week!

PS
Reply if you have any good web sites to kill some time on, I could def. use it!

Sick

I'm writing you right now from the same place and position I was in Saturday night, horizontally draped across my couch. Right now I am very grateful that while I was hopping from minimum wage job to minimum wage job like it was a sport, one of my roommates held a decent job over the summer and invested in the most comfortable couch in the world. I began habitation of the couch Saturday night when I dragged my poor sloth like self downstairs for a glass of water. My boyfriend found me two hours later in the position I have occupied on our downstairs couch for the past two days. Trust me ladies and gentlemen, I am not about to track up those stairs anytime soon. I have enough aches in my body when I am laying on this brand new plush couch, I can only imagine the increase upon climbing a flight of stairs. In addition to claiming a new spot in the house to call my own, I have also reached a new level of boredom. Go lay in the same position on your couch for two days and you will then understand the boredom I am talking about. When we first moved into this house I boycotted cable, moaning on to my roommates about how I would not pay a fifth of the cable bill so my head could be filled with media sludge. Right now though, I would give ANYTHING for cable. I have watched every DVD I own (which isn't that many-see part above about quitting jobs being a sport.) at LEAST once. I have read every decent blog on the net and many of the crumby ones. I've emailed, myspaced, IMed, shopped and ebayed to the point were any activity involving the internet makes me want to pull out my own teeth. Oh and it's so sunny out. What I wouldn't give to be out swimming in the ocean, reading on the beach and soaking up the sun with my boyfriend.

Cheers to being anything other then horizontal in any other place but the couch,
