Um....Soooo......
Sep. 2nd, 2005 03:51 pmHey 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!

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