RAGE!!!

I just remembered why I hate my job! Rich old people!! Arrrrggghhh.

The past several days have been pleasant here. I was starting to feel bad about leaving my job, but now I am certain I'm making the right choice.

Hasta la Vista Camelback Inn!


Love,
Heather

I've Done (88) Out Of 150

Well, there you have it.


You Date Like a Woman
According to studies on dating, you date like a woman.You tend to take romance seriously, and you're not really out for a fling.
A mental and emotional connection always comes first for you.And rushing the physical stuff is likely to turn you off.
You're highly selective when it comes to dating, and some may say you're too picky.You know what you want, and when you find it, you're ready to commit.
Do You Date Like a Man or a Woman?


I AM a chick. It makes sense.


You Aren't Picky at All
You're pretty easy on the guys you date, and that works out well...As long as they're good guys with the best intentions!Your lax approach to dating is leaving you vulnerable to any jerk who chooses to take advantage of you.Raise your standards a bit, and your relationships will almost instantly approve.
Are You Too Picky?


This wasn't the answer I was expecting. I guess it's just telling me that I'm not a bitch.

I just found the title thingy.

Well, there you have it!!
So it's 3:30 in the morning & I'm wide awake. Damnit!

I feel like I could write a lot, but honestly I don't really feel like it. I went to Portland for the weekend for my sister's 21st birthday. I'm really glad I made the trip. It was great to catch up with some of my friends & to party with my sister. I also spent the night out at my grandparent's house & got to spend some good time with them.

Tomorrow (well today actually) I start playing in the Scottsdale Community College big band. It should be interesting. I haven't really played trumpet in front of people & I'm not so good yet. Oh well, they can take it or leave it.

So now I will copy Mary. Enjoy.
