la valse

instead of working on special k's present, i've been job hunting online for the past few hours. god knows why i do it, since i've job searched online for the past year and never found much of anything viable, but i'm addicted to it nonetheless. saves an often painfully shy girl from actually going out and job hunting door-to-door and face-to-face. which, of course, is the real way to get a job, but let's not go there.

so i found this, which in turn led me to this, and from there i found this, which excited me to no end. after much searching and frittering about, i came across this. at first i wondered if it might be a sign, a way out of my existential dilemma. they boast on their website that not only will you become a better person and feel better about the world around you, but you'll also find the meaning of life. they also claim to have no religious affiliations.

how bloody interesting.

devon and i chatted about it on the phone for a bit, and i wondered if it was truly an amazing spiritual center for life-affirmations, or a cult. devon said that i could probably find some really interesting characters to write about even if i hated the place. while i don't think that i'm going to apply just yet, i do intend to visit this place at some point. i kind of wonder if it's another version of wilson with more volunteer service and less academics.

what i really want is to be amelie when i grow up. but wait, i'm already as old as amelie is! is there still time? i could go get a job in a cafe (one that's not a corporate whorehouse like my last job) and do little things to change people's lives for the better. all before my next birthday, which is not for a few more months yet.

good god, this past year has flown by.
