Hey everyone!
This is my first LJ entry everrrr! The whole format seems kind of awkard and hard to get around...Oh well, I'm sure I'll get used it it. I guess I started my very own LJ because *sigh* yes, "everyone else is doing it". But in my defense, LJ seems to have pretty cool features and I like how there's a sense of "community" among LJ-keepers. Still, I feel a bit clumsy using this format. I also have this one blog that I'm keeping on Yahoo! 360 and also have a neglected one in the original home of blogs, no other than Blogger. It seems that I might have the symptoms of Multiple Blog Disorder or fear of blog commitment...so I guess I'll have to figure out which one I'll finally settle on...
So anyways *ahem*....I went to get my driver's license renewed for the first time since I turned 21. It was about a half hour wait, but my iRiver mp3 player kept me happy and distracted...by the time it was my turn, I was swaying to the beat of the music I was listening to...I'm sure people that I was coo-coo. But finally, after getting my picture, taking a vision test, and answering a few questions, I had my new license. It didn't turn out too bad. I realized after the fact that I should perhaps have put some make-up on to add some color to my face (it looked like I pulled an all-nighter with dark circles under my eyes), but at least my expression was rather neutral. That was my biggest worry...I didn't want to come out looking like I was mad or stoned. *Aside* That's what I don't get: People complain about how bad the pictures on their licenses look...but do they ever think of not scowling or at least trying to smile just an eensy bitsy bit?
Anywayz...I'm reading the sixth Harry Potter book "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince". I started at about a chapter a day...but now it's getting good so I'm doing two chapters a day...and no, DON'T GIVE AWAY THE ENDING, and yes, I WILL BE FINISHED READING IT SOON ENOUGH...so I'll be free to disscuss it with those who have already read it. :-) And yes...I can't wait to finish it and disscuss it with "you guys".
On another note...I finally got a job as a Library Assistant at the local library. Unfortunately, it's only for 14-16 hours a week...but it's better than nothing and it's one step closer to my goal of going into Library Science. The awkward thing is that there's a full time Library Assistant position that I applied to that will be setting up interviews next week...and to be honest, I'd rather have a full time job. What if I get that job? I might just try to do both jobs and if not...I might have to quit the part time one...but then again, what if I don't get the full time one? So there you are...that's me, for now!

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Good to hear we've finally presuaded you to join the cool people with LJs...now if only we can get K to join too. :)

I agree, everyone complains about how bad their license picture looks. I guess some people (myself included) just don't photograph well. I hope mine doesn't turn out horribly when I get around to doing mine again (it still has the picture from when I first got it).

Thanks for your warm welcome O Pioneer! And yes, you have a really awesome icon! For now, I will use this here pic...and if I find something even cooler (not necessarily a pic of me), I'll change it. Now I don't have to sign your comments "From B!" Yay!

You get to upload 3 icons, and you can use any one of them at any time with any post you make. Now you've seen all of mine.

I always smile in my driver's liscence pictures... but I've actually heard of some states that don't let you smile because it "distorts your features" and like I've heard other people say, I never saw anyone smiling when they got pulled over! :-p

LOL, you have MBD! Or OCBD - obsessive comulsive blogging disorder.

Cute pic of you on the beach - where and when was that taken?

Yeah...I also heard that people are being discouraged from smiling because it distorts features and stuff...so I tried to not smile too much but at the same time keeping a pleasant countenance and the result was not too bad.
The pic was taken in June, about a week before your wedding in Sea Isle City near Allison's house. I like it because it's one of my "cooler" pics.

LOL, yeah we all want representations of ourselves that are mainstream and cool. I know how it is.

...except, as mentioned, for our drivers' licenses. :)

And I like my randomly abstract icon.

YAY first journal comment ever... I wonder if you could just cross-list all of your various entries if you can't decide. I know I can't ;) But eventualyl I'm sure you'll start posting quizzes and stuff to share parts of yourself with your loyal fan club ;) Can't wait!
