Oh my, I think Curt and Nick would be buddies. Seriously, they sound so much alike. I will add that after nearly 6 years together, and living in the same small apartment for two of those, things crop up to be contentious about. But those are more living-with-another-person issues, more than usually relationship issues. So overall, I think trusting is the way to do it. I STILL get days when I go - oh god, he's seeing someone else, or oh god, he's gonna dump me, I really think that's something that never quite goes away. But then I stop and say to myself, think about who you are talking about. He wouldn't do that, and you know it, and you're being hormonal and paranoid. We broke up once a few years back because we weren't ready to trust totally, and we had some issues surrounding that, but from the other side, trusting (if not totally, than a lot) is much, much better than being suspicious. I think by now Curt has proven that he's worthy of it, so, dear abel salmon, I think your're right. Sometimes there's no other shoe.
BTW, thanks again for the chat today. It really did bring me back down to this planet and helped me chill out! I appreciate it.

I decided a while back to take the fact that your Mr. is all of these things and also foxy (with hotness) as a sign of happy goodness out there for everyone, instead of being horribly jealous. And your house? Well, I've got myself on a house-saving plan (contingent on getting a full-time job, of course) that will have me in my own within 2 years. See, I could just sit and seethe with envy at your youthful got-it-togetherness, but I'm choosing to be inspired. So thanks!

i know. put sheets on your head and run around the house moaning and rattling chains. then, when the new owners get real scared, tell them that you want to buy your house back. they'll negotiate, cause hey, your ghosts. if they refuse, lick all the door knobs like kids do when they're little and they lick their Little Debbies to keep the other kids from eating them. If they still refuse, give them a Little Debbie. What were we talking about again?

I hear you on that. I grew up in Milwaukee, and only went to Madison for college, so now that I have the chance to relocate in two years, I feel like I should, just to explore new places. But you're right about starting over, it sucks, and it especially sucks for Nick, who's pretty much been following me around. At least I had some built-in chances with going to school. It's been a lot harder for him. Just wanted to say that I feel your pain!

I'm a big on believer of doing what makes you happy. My dad once told me he read in the paper that 75% of people polled were unhappy in their jobs. He asked me, "Why shouldn't you be among the 25%?" And I thought, "Damn straight!" So I work here now, on my PhD, and if I am still happy, I'll keep going, and if I want to work at Target, I'l work at Target, and if I want to have babies and stay home, I'll stay home. Most of our worries come not from wondering if we'll be happy, but from worrying about what other people might think. It's my party and I'll dance if I want to, and if dancing means working hard and making sacrifices first, I'd better be sure that I really really want to dance. I'm really tired right now, I hope this makes sense.

wanting to get out of the place where you are now, or "wanting to make more money"(which does not apply to you--it's the reason I hear for 99% of the people that dropped out during their first year) is not enough reason to want to go to law school, and you are smart enough to know this. you really need to want to be a lawyer to make it through three years of complete nonsense, egos of classmates, and probably the most bizarre means of education. if you eventually decide not to apply, i will be disappointed that i don't get to count you as a peer in practice, but i know you'll be better off for it!

Aw, honey, don't beat yourself up over this. It happens to a lot of us at your age (not that I am old, I am NOT old!) when we realize that we are definitely out of college but not quite into our dream lives yet.

Word on Angels in America...I am a total movie-crier, but I sobbed during that scene, the scene where Joe was on the phone to his mother, and the part when Prior was dancing by himself to Moon River.... MAN. Oh boy, though, that song provokes a totally Pavlovian crying response in me. The first three bars and I'm welling up. My friend C (my new gay best friend) went to an advance screening of that first half a couple weeks ago and he says he seriously cried on the subway all the way home, like some kind of crazy person.

Re: passwords....I know, I know. I felt the same way, and I was really torn about pwding my diary. However, J reads it, and I know if I asked him not to, he'd be more tempted. And if I didn't pwd it, I wouldn't feel like I could freely express my thoughts about our difficulties in deb-e-ne-ne. If I opened another diary, I wouldn't get feedback from all of my favorite internet buddies, so that's why I did it. I'll probably take the pwd off after all the drama is over.

Rock on with yer non-smokin' self! I like the stop-smoking idea. Very much. When I quit, I would come home from work and put on my pajamas so I wouldn't go back out and buy smokes. I was too lazy to get dressed again, and also I had no social life. Goofy.

Good for you! It's always hard to break out of a routine (for me it's coming home and watching tv), but do it enough, and it'll change.

Hugging you right back! You know you're awesome, girl! I know you talked about this quite a while back, but by all means come to Chicago and stalk me. Then you can come to my crazy Rosh Hashanah dinner, too!

You should always take my advice, darling, unless I'm mad at you and say something like, "Go play in traffic," or, "If you drink this rat-poison laced coffee it will make you feel better," but I highly doubt you would ever warrant THAT kind of advice. You're waaaaaay too nice for me to sabotage. I have standards, you know. Ha!

She's a whore :) Seriously, you're a total hottie and he doesn't know what he's missing. Besides, do you really want him holding you back when you find your dream job out east? That's what I thought :)

Actually, I moved here with no job, somehow got an apartment, and temped for almost a year at close to my current wage, but without benefits....

Aw, thank you for the support. I am already feeling a little better, since I have the attention span of a three-year-old and can never stick to one emotion for long!

Hee, you're funny when you're ticked off! Sorry! I can only echo Briddy's exhortations to join us car-free urban dwellers.

Wow, people actually pause for a yield sign there? Nobody yields here, especially when I have the right of way. I hate them for it. And our yield signs are yellow.

Ah. One of the many reasons I'm happy to be city-dwelling and carless. Come join us! We're fun people!

I grew up in Chicago and still have a number of friends/family members there. Sorry for the confusion :) I like to keep people on their toes!

deb-e-ne-ne : |

Chicago rocks! All of your points are valid--big city but not quite as pricey, major hub=cheaper flights to Boston, NYC, DC, not far from Omaha, many many financial companies. I think you should go for it!
|

catnipqueen : |

thanks for the dose of fabulousness you sent me! it worked!

rhubelerosko : |

seriously, i am not kidding. you just described my job. AND we have an opening. In research! As a research analyst. Interested? Leave me a note. Did I mention that this job is in NYC?

First, Omaha can't be that bad. You can always sing that Counting Crows song. Fourth, you have friends all over the place. Pack up and just start driving. Call friends ahead of time and tel them you're crashing at their place. Keep driving till you're employed or ready to go home. You'll be poor, but you'll be out of "Somewhere in middle America"...

Hey, here's a thought, pack up your cute-hair dust and come on to Chicago! Huh? Huh? Nudge, nudge.
|
| from
i-roboctopus : |

Yeah, sometimes getting laid off can be a total blessing, especially if you hate your job! Good luck; I hope it goes the way you want!
|
| from
briddy-b : |

Best idea EVER! I hate my job, but feel guilty about leaving. You come here, take my job, I'll go do something else, we'll all be happy!
|
| from
deb-e-ne-ne : |
|
I know we're no Boston, but if you want a job in DC (or London), check out www. executive board .com (without the spaces). I can put in your resume if you'd like - just let me know :) Good luck!

we own a company in omaha...maybe i can set up one of those freaky deaky "chance" meetings with one of our analysts next time they are out there... :)

Okay, your cute-hair dust? Freakin' MAGIC, that's what it is! My hair was downright fetching!

You are too sweet! Thanks!

Hee, cute-hair dust. Thanks! Will try to remember the deep-breath bit. It helps!

2014?! That is just outrageous.

It is different on the coasts. And in "the big cities" in general (although, even in Chicago, a lot of kids my age are married/will be soon). I swear - everyone I know that stayed in Kansas is married (or will be soon) and has already started a family. Nuts I tell you! The only people here I know that are married with children are at least 32.

I'm leaving you a note. Just to leave you a note. :) Anyway, I've left you a note, now sign my guestbook so it doesn't look so pathetic. Cute boy didn't go today! You need to find a cute boy to teach you pool. If I knew one, I'd send him to you.

Hey! Glad I found you :) That really sucks about the DUI. At least the handcuffs make it a good story. Have a great weekend!
|

schmance : |

Holy crap, girl! I'm glad you're okay, and here's a hug for ya. Now please don't do that again! And I mean that nicely, I really do, even if I have my stern face on.

Jeeeeeaaaaaane!!!! I'm not going to yell cuz you don't really deserve that, but I'm going to look disapprovingly in your direction. There. Did you see it? That's all you get from me. I don't believe in guilt.
