Seriousness
This is very important:
1) This is probably the best semester ever.
2) I don't want a real job yet. Real jobs seem horrible and scary.
I'm just a smidge nervous about graduating because then I will be a for-real adult with responsibilities and loans to pay. Therefore, logically, I want to get into an MFA program or failing that, to get a cool job. However, I am under the impression that "cool jobs" are so extremely rare as to be considered mythical tales and anyone who says differently is a lying liar. If I have to get an actual job, I would prefer jobs that do not make me feel as though I have moved to Communist Russia.
Jobs I Would Prefer:
- Circus Performer - preferablly fire-swallower. I would be able to spit fireballs. What more could I possibly want?
- Jewel Thief - but only the kind that doesn't get caught.
- Ship Captain - the kind with a gun in a holster.
- Magician's Assistant - who wouldn't want to be one?
- The Sears Tower Window Cleaner - it would be pretty cool, but maybe just once.

anyone who says they love their job is lying. fun/cool jobs don't exist. that's why we get paid money to do them, because we don't want to.
burn!
that's actually a common misconception. a writing major covers everything from professional and technical writing to book writing. so i could get a job in marketing or publishing or i could write technical manuals or i could just do basic office work. it's a very versatile major. companies are looking for people with english degrees because we know how to write simple things like business letters and how to write them well . . . and we can usually spell.
writing is easy, it just takes longer than talking.
hey dave! no i haven't seen it yet but i really want to and i've heard a lot about it. i think i'd like to rent it so that i can see both endings and decide which i like better. my money is on the british one.
i haven't seen the proposition yet or dead man's shoes, but i did see brick and i must say . . . it was smashing. i recommend it.
anyway, did you like "the descent?" i've heard it's very good. les and i will probably get it around hallowe'en.
great! we're planning on a hallowe'en scare-fest and we'll definitely have that on our list.
you needed a new post about 10 days ago. my day is boring, have some mercy.
ok, i'm getting worried. maybe someone should go to booder's apartment and make sure she didn't eat herself to death in the basement playing video games and watching obscure movies/cartoons. just poke her with a stick or something.
