"The Cost of Freedom."

Good song. Anyway...Still alive...still unemployed. *sigh* But I'm doing better! I had an interview last week (unfortunately Cassie isn't as cool as Sammi and can't handle being an insurance agent). I have two this week (Sears and Macys). People are finally starting respond to my resumes and applications! I also get to call the daycare back Friday and see if they're still interested in me. Whoo hoo! I may yet get a job before the end of the year. I don't even care if it's a holiday temp position...I need some more experience to stick on my resume and I need the moola.

If I don't have a confirmed job by Friday...Monday I'm calling my loans to find out how to file for economic hardship foreberances. Even if I got an interview next week and started working the week after...I wouldn't be sure to be getting paychecks by the time my loans come due in December. It's kinda depressing...But...that's what I gotta do, so I gotta do it. I'd rather have a foreberance for a few months even if I get a job two weeks after I file for it, than risk going default on those things. Yes...the bank lady scared me straight! or something...

Speaking of being straight...Yesterday morning I had the weirdest dream, and it won't leave me alone. I dreamt Ed and I finally got married...in Las Vegas at an SGI function where the Dali Lama (played by Eul Brener) was sitting in a corner. At first we couldn't get married because my dad reserved the Plaza for Oct. 20 and 21...but I realized today was the 21st and there was no way I was going to get married today. (note: it wasn't the 21st either) Then my dream did a weird reset thing and Ed and I were getting married. He looked great in a black tux with gray lapels...and I guess my dress was nice...I wasn't paying that much attention to it. The ceremony was the most unsatisfying thing I've ever been through (and I've been through an amazing number of weddings). We didn't get pronounced husband and wife, no ring exchange, no vows...it really sucked. Then we get home (yes, my parent's house) and Ed says, "I forgot to give you your ring" well duh! So he gives me the wedding band and it somehow morphs and it and the engagement ring interlock into a square...the outside with diamonds and the inside open to my finger. It was way weird...but so real I woke up and looked at my finger...just to make sure that we hadn't gotten married while I was sleeping.

I guess the weirdest thing about it is that I haven't been having the wedding blues lately...like after the 2 weddings in 2 weeks this summer. Strange...

But we all knew I'm crazy. Oh yes...I've started creating your greusome Christmas/New Years presents...so you can expect to be horrified soon. ;)

We saw Doom on Sunday...Ed says it isn't as good as the game (of course not!), but it was pretty good. I liked the first-person section. They did a great job of fitting it into the story line....but they left Hell completely out of it...Hell is the whole point in Doom! Oh well. :D

That's it for now...I'll let you know if it's foreberances or a job sometime soon!
