Why am I trapped in this country when I could be out there with my camera and a notebook, making the most of my life?
Why am I trapped in this job, making calls to people when I have a calling of my own?
Why am I trapped by this economy where my dreams must be diluted for monetary purposes?
Why, God, why do I feel so utterly trapped.
Let me see the pyramids at Giza. The liquid streets of Venice – the Coliseum at Rome, St. Peter’s Square at Vatican City, the Parthenon at Athens, the numerous historical sites of the entire United Kingdom… The landscapes of Iceland and Norway…
Just don’t let me sit here. I tire of this life. I’ve not even left this stupid country. *sigh*
Yay for whining. I’ve been so fucking tired. I’ve got the Sims 3, but I’ve not been able to play it much. I’ve been so exhausted that I’ll get home from work and pass out without doing much else. Busy with Legends Alliance and the dorms, it’s been fun. Need to move into my apartment still. Planning Fall Rush 2009 with Holmes. Picked up Watchmen and Pushing Daisies Season 2 the other night.
But tonight I watched Planet Earth with my brother on Blu-ray, as he is inspired to get a salt-water aquarium… we mused over some clownfish, some anemone, and maybe even an octopus… (I still want a kitten… >.> And if I save up enough for the apartment deposit, I will.) But after Planet Earth… and looking at Seph’s pictures of Barcelona, Spain, I began to think how desperately I want to do EXACTLY what she’s doing.
And right now, I have nothing else to say.

*sigh*
I am in for a long day today. It’s about a quarter to 8AM as I write this now, and I’m sitting at work, waiting to be able to clock on. I got here about half an hour early this morning. I guess it was nerves…
You see, I have a phone interview set up today at 5:30PM for a job to work at the Apple Store in Lenox Square Mall in Buckhead, Atlanta. I’m nervous and yet wholly excited if this all works out – I could have some extra income this school year and be able to afford little things here and there, not to mention the Disney trip I want to go with Tricia on this New Year’s… and helping her feel financially secure in Atlanta is a big part of it too. But… Comcast is still a bucket of fail and hasn’t reconnected the phone line they accidently cut (seriously now, who DOESN’T survey land when they dig??) and I have crappy cell coverage at home, so it looks like this phone interview will be done from the seat of my car in a quiet (cell-covered) parking lot…. somewhere.
So my MacBook Pro came in! The same day I got the initially email from Apple, too. XD That was this past Thursday, and I have spent every day loving this beautiful machine. I’ve got it just about entirely set up – the only thing left at this rate is for The Sims 3 to arrive with Splash’s package so I can install it and torture explore the Sims community. Meanwhile, I have the white Macbook all set up to be wiped and reformatted with a fresh install when I sell it to Talon come Thursday when he is paid. I’ll miss it, actually. That computer was a fantastic companion… so to speak.
Egads. Time to work. I’ll try to add to this later, but if I don’t, wish me luck!
