Biting Nails Again...Must Stop

So, I think I've finally got some general direction. I've decided to apply for my MFA in Creative Writing. And I'm f-ing excited for it.

I was of the mentality that if you can write, you can just write. But I think it would do me some good to have at least a tiny sliver of some structure in my life right now. Plus, I need to be around more people who love words as much as I do.

It's also becoming quickly apparent that I'm going to have to take on another job. Why is money so tight all of the time? There are some bar jobs down in the Financial District that I've seen online but upon looking at their websites, I'm not sure I've got the necessary pulchritude they're looking for, if you know what I mean.

I guess I'll just have to traipse around to places until someone sees through me, thinks I'm a walking cliche, feels sorry for the holes in my clothes and the shabby state of my hair and takes me on board.

I have also decided that people who order club soda at a bar inherently annoy me. Isn't that awful to say? I can't help it though. Perhaps it's because I don't like club soda myself but every time someone orders it I just want to take the squirt gun out and spray them with it (Alle, I'm giving you "the look" right now).

It's true though - it's just such a wang drink. Have regular water. Or a fucking beer. There's something about watching a man order effervescent aqua that screams "I'm a dick so kick the shit out of me".

Maybe I'm getting too irate about this because the guy that just came in to order it was a self-assured, cocky Polish guy with the nose the size of Krakow and a bushy, grey sweater tucked into his tight black pants (which he wore a la Simon Cowell). And maybe it's because said guy made some really bad jokes about 1) the lack of crowds in here now during lunch and 2) the size of his salad.

Yes, it's slow in here today. It's fucking raining outside. And yes, it's a big salad. You're paying nearly $10 for it. Shut up, eat it and be gone with.

Really should have saved that for the other blog.
