over this unemployment t hing

Had a pretty lazy day. Again. I think this unemployed thing is going to get old a lot quicker the second time around.

I did have coffee and a meeting with a guy that C. put me in touch with to do some copywriting work for. I'm excited about this project in particular because it's finally something to do with my degree and a firm step in the direction I want to go. I didn't take the opportunity to do anything in my field (aside from a lone article in the [less than stellar] campus newspaper) while I was in college, and am finding it hard to sell myself to people without experience.

Still loving the BlackBerry.

Looking forward to tomorrow. I have a happy hour date planned with C. and K. and I'm more than little starved for some social interaction. I've had the last handful of days off from The Restaurant because it has been so slow and the lack of human contact (aside from my clothes bleaching, virus clicking mother) has been almost non-existant. I can handle being by myself, but it's starting to get to me a little too.

I'm itching to get off the island and take a trip, but I know there is absolutely no money for that--especially not while unemployed. Being out of college kind of sucks that way. No more spring, summer, and winter break to get the heck off the island. I'm beginning to come to terms with my love-hate relationship with Hawaii. I realize that it is a great place to grow up and live, but, at the same time, I'm still pretty sick with the smallness of it all. I was just looking at the honeymoon pictures of the friend who got married in September, and it made me miss Europe and NYC so much.

Maybe I'll start my Christmas shopping too. I've been afraid of the mall since trying to get there and find parking when C. and I CPKed it on Saturday for lunch. However, I know it will only get worse. And I totally have the advantage of those (semi) early morning shopping hours. Argh. I hate shopping for my sister. She's so hard to buy for. I should do what she does (more than once in a while): just buy random stuff in the preferred dollar amount in a store that the person shops at. That way they can just return it and get whatever they want. Hah.

I wonder if there's any Vitamin Water left? I knew I should have picked up some while I was at Foodland this morning. I was lugging around a gallon of POG (had a craving since last night) and didn't want to bother grabbing a basket. I think the sale (10 for $10) is over today, too. Boo. Yoplait also had the same deal going, if anyone was wondering.

Okay, I think mom is bringing Chinese food home. Done.
