Angst Girl

I received a very good phone call today and I’m just busting with happiness. I FINALLY got a job! I interviewed with 3 different groups of people and took 4 tests for this job. The hiring process was very stressful and LONG (I started the process almost 2 months ago). In the last interview there [...]

I just started reading The Time Traveler’s Wife and it’s making me nervous. I’m confused about the rules behind his time travel and, while I’m reading, end up flipping back to the section headings that state how old he is and the date to try to figure things out. I do this with books sometimes, getting [...]

The seasons are definitely changing quickly here, in fact we seem to be pretty much skipping fall and heading right on into winter. Well, ok, it’s not quite that bad, but we’re definitely getting cheated out of a decent fall this year. It’s supposed to be about 60 degrees with pretty changing leaves; instead it’s in [...]

A couple weeks ago, Mackenzie Phillips was on the Oprah show where she read an excerpt from her book that detailed what she called a consensual affair with her father (for the record, she now calls it abuse). There has been quite a fallout following that interview, as one would expect. People are disgusted and don’t [...]

I’ve read a few posts about the new television season (here, here, and here) so I’ve decided the throw in my two cents on the topic. In other words, I’m stealing the idea from Kizz and Mrs. Chili (thanks guys!). I don’t have cable or satellite so, with one exception, these are all shows on [...]

Kizz over at The Women’s Colony posted today about kisses she experienced in her lifetime (and one she has yet to experience) and it inspired me to write my own post about kisses.
Like most everyone, I’ve had good kisses and bad (oh so bad!) kisses and it makes me wonder where people go astray when it [...]

Here’s the thing, my friends, I don’t like change. I really don’t. I try to be the person who gracefully accepts things as they come and makes the necessary adjustment to life’s changes without bitching and moaning, but I’m just not that person. I WANT to be like that but have yet been unsuccessful in [...]

We’ve had some very high profile deaths in recent months and although I certainly feel sympathy for the families of those people, I’m sick of hearing about them. Why has it, apparently, been decided that current world news should be preempted by memorials to the dead? I turned on the national news the day Ted [...]

So I woke up last Thursday and turned on my computer just like any other morning. Instead of hearing the friendly chimes of Windows starting up, I hear two loud beeps and saw a black screen with a message telling me that it can’t find my hard drive. Aaaaahhhh! I turn it off and on [...]

Better late than never, right? These are ten things that make me say, “Ewwwwww!”
1. Long fingernails on men. This just absolutely grosses me out for some reason. I was in my shrink’s waiting room yesterday and saw a man who had fingernails that would be considered extra long on a woman, not to mention on [...]
