My cover letter

Dear Guy Who Hires People, Please hire me because I need money and I don't suck. Sincerely, Lexi

What the shit?

I got a really ominous text the other night from a guy i used to date. Weird. This sort of thing has been happening quite a bit lately. I'm not sure exactly what's going on, but it's kind of unnerving. Oh well, just thought i'd share.

I need...

I require nourishment in the form of delicious twister's burritos. I also need gas and money to obtain said burritos.

It fucking figures

The one morning that i don't have to be up at the buttcrack of dawn, my brain won't let me sleep in. So, i'm awake and clean. Right now i could either go home and have my morning coffee with amanda or stay here and read fight club. Yes, i am the last person in the fucking world to read fight club. I'm incredibly lame. So what should i do?

Randomness

Analogies aren't nearly as intimidating as i once thought they were. I'm bad with words, in general. I've been going through this GRE general test study guide, and it all just seems really simple. I guess that's to be expected. I mean, this is the same test that education majors take, so it can't be that difficult. I have come to the conclusion that it's going to be necessary for me to take the chemistry subject test. This is intimidating. I'm sure there are books out there to help me prepare, and it wouldn't kill me to brush up on some of my general chemistry skills. I think my problem right now is that i'm just not confident in my skills. I'm too afraid of failure. So, i have to do this thing, and know that i won't fail.By the way, i'm poor, so if anyone wants to help me out with the purchase of GRE prep books, that would be nice.

All heterosexual sex is rape

In the waiting room today, i was watching one of those "Who is my baby daddy?" shows on Maury. I love these shows. What i can't understand though, is why the audience always boos the man who claims he isn't the baby's father. Even if he really is the kid's dad, he obviously has a reason to believe he isn't. If he didn't, why would he want a paternity test? Of course, the woman is always the victim, right? We're constantly being oppressed by men. Even if i sleep around with every man i meet, i'm still a victim somehow, right? I guess it works in the same way that if a girl regrets sleeping with a man the next day, she was obviously raped. Everyone knows women can't be held responsible for their actions, because they're not capable of rational decision making.This doesn't make me a misogynist, does it?

I finall...

I finally got around to downloading 12 songs by neil diamond today. It's pretty amazing. It's just neil, you know, without the show. It's not the neil i'm used to, but i really really like it. So you should all listen to it.I found some books today. Actually, i found my copy of catch-22, which my mom stole, so now i can finally finish it. This makes me happy.

Disappointment

The civic had a salvage title. That means no deal. Not to fear. I saw an altima today, and it was pretty rad, so i think i might buy it. I talked to the insurance lady on the phone, and she needs to get the van appraised and talk to some witnesses so i can get money. That van wasn't worth a whole lot, though. Maybe $2000 at the most. I guess that could actually buy a pretty decent older car without me having to finance it, but i doubt i'll get anywhere near that much from the insurance people. Balls.I almost forgot. We watched Me and You and Everyone We Know last night. It was pretty obvious that the lady who wrote/directed/starred was a pretentious douche. She's about 2 films away from Brown Bunny status. However, this made it all worth it.

I just saw the dumbest bumper sticker ever

I thought i would share. It said:EVERYONE does better when EVERYONE does betterSo, if we all just did better, we'd all be doing better? Do better at what? Thank you for that redundant and vague message.

Things lexi is excited about

I have an interview with tricore today, which means i may possibly have a new job.I'm going to see a guy about a car this evening. He's selling a 2003 civic for $8500, which is actually a pretty good deal, and i can get a good rate from the bank on it. So maybe i'll have a new car.I'm going to Bonnaroo in 2 months. Not only will this be my first "music festival" experience, but i will be sharing it with my lovely Claire, and my boyfriend, Thom Yorke. Oh yeah, and there's a side trip to Dollywood planned. Fuck yeah.I'm addicted to making stupid chevy tahoe ads. I made one for adam brown, and now i can't stop.

PSA

Dear drivers of Albuquerque,Just because there is a police officer on the side of the road with a radar gun, does not mean that you need to drive 10 mph under the speed limit.Thank you.And now for your daily dose of Amanda wisdom:xPolyStyrenex: Your vagina should sing a song, hahaPunky37498: i should sing "candida" by tony orlandoxPolyStyrenex: Haha, yes!Punky37498: i think you're the only person who gets thatxPolyStyrenex: I was just going to say you don't know how proud I am for knowing that, hahaxPolyStyrenex: That's when you say "Hey, I'm hungry ...Let's go pick up a candida albicans" Punky37498: hahaxPolyStyrenex: And if they say "Oo what's that? Sounds good" -You then point and laugh ...and laugh Punky37498: hahahahahaxPolyStyrenex: A candida albicans taco, mmm

Roger...

Roger Ebert has no idea what he's talking about. The brown bunny is a fucking masterpiece, and if you don't like it, you obviously just don't get it. Who wouldn't want to watch an hour and a half of vincent gallo driving and looking anguished, then getting a blow job from his dead girlfriend? Seriously, it's brilliant. What a pretentious douche.

It fucking figures

I got paid today. My skully sweater is now out of stock.

I'm...

I'm going to bonnaroo. You are jealous.I found a listing in the journal for a 1978 Cadillac Sedan Deville and a 1987 Caprice Classic. I think i'll try to check those out this weekend. My mother won't approve, though. I might have to go behind her back and buy a car on my own, unless i want to spend too much money on a new car.

I like gabe and all...

Seriously, if i was single...

The tricore job is so in the bag. I just talked to the HR lady, and she wants me to come in and take a typing test this afternoon, and then she's going to refer me to the hiring person. They wouldn't waste time doing this if they weren't going to hire me, right? I really really really want this job.Edit: I got the new phone yesterday, but lost all my contacts. Give me your phone numbers.Another edit: When i get this job, i will reward myself by buying this. Because i'm awesome.
