First, an announcement:
I am not sick... Yup, you heard it here first, NO MORE BEING SICK... Fuck yeah...

Also, for about 2 weeks, I've had internet problems... My comp was just being a little SHIT... So, I reformatted my hard drive, and FINALLY it works... Hopefully it'll stay this way -- working, that is... Now, I have to get all of my files back on this comp... All 16.5 GB of them . . . a gig at a time...

And beyond that, it is now time for the job search... In doing computer stuff, I've also torn my room apart, and I need to get organized and get out there... I have no more excuses... Yesterday I planned an elaborate shopping trip to some of the Vegas shopping hotspots to execute my hunt for The Perfect Work Attire... But I decided before I left to make one stop at the shopping center on the corner by my house, just to see if Nordstrom Rack, Target, Claire's, Micheal's, or Pier 1 had anything of interest... Well, I came back an hour later, and I had found everything I needed, including a pair of shoes that makes you go "Ooooo, yes!!!" when you put them on... (Girls, you know what I'm talking about!) I promptly canceled the elaborate shopping trip and went back to bludgeoning my computer... Man, Vegas is gonna be horrible for my lazy streak...

That is the latest for now, now back to cleaning my room... :/

Most of you guys I'm sure noticed my bulletin yesterday about my website... Yes, it's up, yes, it's still in the testing phases... If you haven't been, shame on you, it's awesome... TheNakedNerd.Com

You might be sitting there going, "Gosh, how'd she do all that in just one day?" Well, I was bored... More specifically, I'm sick... Lovely, fabulous sick... With sinus drain bypassing my nose, a fever, and some awesome throat-puss action, I officially have "the works"... It's really miserable... Before I took cold medication yesterday, I started work on the site to distract myself... Obviously, it worked well... I may or may not work more on it today... (I could decide to redo my Myspace, too! LOL) Now if only I could find something to swallow besides ice cream, that's the rub...

As you know by now (it's blatantly obvious!), I'm moving to Las Vegas... As of two minutes ago, that move date is officially the end of the month...

I should be getting the truck on the 28th, pack it up that day... Then sleep that night, relax the whole next day, hit the road that night (that's the 29th, for those of you who can do math -- with or without my roommate remains to be seen)...

Also, to arrange for in Las Vegas: New job, a car, car insurance... I'm biting my nails, but I'll be okay, really, I will...

You know, a part of me loves moving after it's all over... I've said it before (you just may not have listened), there is no better cure for depression sometimes than leaving a place you *hate* and going out onto that open road... You can always be the person you want to be given a second chance... And don't wait for others to give you that chance, make it happen for you...

I couldn't make SF happen for me... I just not naturally hip enough to wear a coat in summer and love constant wind... I don't relish hearing people's odd impressions of me... I'll miss the leftist swing; I won't miss rooms the size of closets in houses 4 feet apart and I won't miss bananas at 79 cents a pound...

So as I leave, I'll say a goodbye to the California I dreamt, but that never was...
