Sometimes, I read something that was written by a person suffering from delusions of grandeur. Simple things that many other people are able to do without the fanfare end up elevated to the status of the gods. It's almost like reading something that says,

I drove my car today. I saw a speed bump coming, so I slowed down. I slowed down because I saw the speed bump, and I knew that simply by my one act of slowing down, I was making a difference. Because--do you know what? The guy behind me slowed down, too. And the guy behind him. All because I slowed down. It's moments like these that remind me what an inspiration I am. An inspiration to the world.

I find it truly annoying. I may have a lower tolerance at the moment, being sick and all.


In less obnoxious news, Wednesday night marks my final class as an undergraduate. Then I whore my resumé around the greater Seattle area and hopefully get an (entry level?) editing job in a bus-friendly location. I've been looking through Monster and CareerBuilder with no huge success, but we'll see how it goes. In the meantime, I can work on my fiction and be grateful that Geb still has a job.

Three more days.

Today, I was informed by a random person whom I do not know that I must be Dutch.

I will be going to Ireland for two weeks in July. This is especially fantastic because I have been trying to go for two bloody years, but was foiled in both attempts. It's a writer's workshop class through SU that I didn't think I'd be able to take this year, since I graduate in under a month, but my professor did some kind of magic trick and now I'm going. I love magic.

On the same note as my rapidly upcoming graduation, I now have my resumé up at Monster and CareerBuilder so that I can feel the sting of high unemployment rates due to the economy for as long as possible.

I finally read V for Vendetta. Holy crap, it's fantastic. The movie is next, because I'm actually doing a case study for my SF Film class on the graphic novel vs. the film, why Moore thinks the film is dribble, etc. There is no cooler assignment than, "Go read a comic book and then watch a movie. Report back."

Uncorking party tomorrow night! Our wine is done and sitting on the kitchen counter in bottles (we just bottled it last night, in fact). I'm really looking forward to the party. What I'm not looking forward to is finishing all the cleaning, but it must be done.

That's it!
