- job hunting is rough. I have a possible freelance opportunity right now but I’d really like to be able to quit my part time job for something that is more fulfilling.
- being asked to freelance and come up with numbers on your own of how much you want to be paid is daunting.
- adding “TW” to everything because of Twitter is really stupid. Tweeple. Twosse. Contwext? Seriously, tw-shuttheeffup.
- I want to see 17 Again. I’m strangely attracted to Zac Efron. He’s prettier than me and most girls though so that’s kind of weird.
- I am in dire need of a hair cut. My split ends are out of control.
- a ticket for Las Vegas has been purchased. Allie, Jess and I are bringing Chicago to Vegas and it’s going to be awesome!
- Maggie is a lovely dinner and cheesecake date. We’re going to bake yummy things this weekend!
- I’ve been doing okay lately. I’m lonely though. I miss him.

I had a very disturbing dream about Zac Efron last night. Disturbing because I do NOT find him attraction, no matter what my subconscious may think. And he’s quite a bit younger than me and get out of my brain boy! Shudder.
I hope the job hunt goes better. I’m looking too and it’s quite frustrating and also slightly soul destroying. Fingers crossed for us both.

The loneliness is killer. That’s the worst part about being broken up. It gets better though and at least it sounds like you have some amazing friends. Good luck with the job hunt, I’m sure something will come your way soon.

I think that most people find Zac Efron to be strangely attractive. He is so pretty … and is it weird that I’m excited for him to star in a non-Disney movie? Those little Disney stars just grow up so fast … *sniff*
Hang in there kiddo. Things will look up, this to shall pass, and all those other cliche’s too. I know it sucks. At least you have a super fun trip with awesome friends to look forward to!

I was just thinking the other day that it would be fun to bring my husband to Vegas. In the “what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas” kind of way – I think it would be fun!

It’s ok to be lonely and miss him. Just remember that the reason you miss him is because it was good. It was the end though.
Not very helpful words. I realise.

I love you for typing that. Seriously.

I’m guessing “17 Again” was good then? I kinda want to see it, but I’m highly on the fence.
And you’re right, the “tw” stuff is lame-o. Yep, it’s as lame as the word lame-o.

I totally want to see 17 Again as well. I love those types of movies, as cheesy as they may be. It looks like 13 going on 30 with a boy.

I get the Zac Efron thing but I also saw this photo shoot he did quite recently and he didn’t look pretty, he looked pretty darn hot!

I understand your attraction to Zac Efron – I’m 25 and I think he’s soooo HOT – that might be wrong but I don’t care

Setting prices for freelance services can really be quite the task. I also hate it when clients ask for discounts. Some people think too that just because it’s freelancing, the prices are flexible too.
I want to see 17 Again too. Also because of Zac Efron :p

I don’t envy you on the job hunting front… lots of luck. And I also want to see 17 Again. Zac Efron was quite funny on SNL, so I think the movie will be good too.

Oh, Vegas! I’m trying to make ends meet so I can make it there, too. Because it’ll be fabulous.
And I totally know how you feel about freelancing and trying to find a new job. Both are daunting. And I hope you find something that works out for you soon!

Hopefully me passing around your resume gets somewhere, but you’re right. Job hunting for lots of people has been Where’s Waldo all over the place.

Come hang out with me on Thursday nights at my pool league and get an eyeful of our Zac Efron lookalike. He’s annoying as all get out, but if you want real live eye candy to see up close, come visit!

Adorable site! So glad I stumbled across it! I hear you on the split ends situation. Get yourself a haircut, and then pick yourself up some Biolage by Matrix. That stuff is amazing, although a little pricey. Suave actually makes a pretty decent copy too.

I just found your site and its great.
I am also job hunting–11 months out of work and counting. Can you say hell on earth?
Good luck and I am with you on Zac Efron. Listen, I don’t usually do the younger guy thing but he is freaking gorgeous. That body…that face. Mmmm mmmm.
Pretty is nice.
