I think I've already lost you. I think you're already gone. I think I'm finally scared now. You think I'm weak; I think you're wrong.

I feel like I've been very productive today, and I've only been out of bed for, like, 5 minutes when I went to get cereal. And a diet Mountain Dew. The breakfast of champions.

This is a Sunday that I'm actually not going into work, which is an abnormal occurrence to say the least. I did, however, get work done, as I sent e-mails to people about future issues I'm planning. (Girl Scout cookie season and the fact that I hear tell that MTV's Made will be filming at a local high school.) I think those would both be interesting, even though that doesn't really help me with next week's issue, for which I have. . .nothing, pretty much. One of the ad reps downstairs suggested getting with local gyms and exercise places for those people who made the inevitable "lose weight" New Year's resolution, so I may do that. Of course, I'm well aware that the only reason she suggested that was because she wants her gym, which also happens to be an advertiser, featured, but that's ok. Advertisers = Money and Money = Sarah having a job. So I'm OK with all that.

Oh, Girl Scout cookies. If anyone out there wants to completely secure their place on Sarah's List of People Who Rock, you could give me Girl Scout cookies. Samoas are my first choice (Oh, Samoas, how I love you) and Tagalongs are my second (because the combination of peanut butter and chocolate was invented by someone who knew what they were doing.) I feel like they've renamed the cookies for some reason (I wrote an article about them last year, and I feel like I remember that.) but, for the uninitiated among you, Samoas are the ones with the coconut and Tagalongs are the chocolate and peanut butter ones. (Duh.) I always have to keep my Girl Scout cookies in the freezer, because then I forget they're there, and I don't eat the entire box. Because I'm almost certain Girl Scout cookies are laced with crack.

So other than that, I've been working on MK's Christmas present (Yes. I'm still working on it. And yes, I'm OK with that.) which is going to be super cool, and I'm thinking about cleaning, because Nick's coming up later this evening. Not that I think I have to impress Nick, but it's nice to have a clean(ish) house when you have company.

There's really nothing else of interest happening in my life at the moment. I don't know. It's oddly calm. Honestly, I kind of hate when that happens, because that, almost inevitably, means something's brewing. That something's going to happen and turn everything upside down. I'm trying to remain optimistic, though, and just think that maybe I'll be allowed to be calm and happy for a while.

Athough, you know, I feel that I need a project. I need something outside of work to do. And if that something could raise me some extra funds, that would be fab. Because I'm. . .a little behind.

But I'm not going to think about that right now, because I can't actually do anything about it, seeing as to how no one will hire me part-time. You know that old saying about how, if you do what you love, the money will follow? That's crap. Do not believe that saying. You can be doing something you love and still be living barely above the poverty line. I'm just sayin'.

So there's a short update, I guess. I really am going to try to update more, but I'm not going to make it a "resolution" because I never keep those.
