"I want your lingual spontineity or nothing else!" (Kerouac)

This is it. My last day as an unemployed bum, rolling like the desert tumble weeds of Texas, aimlessly driving then walking through city streets hoping to find a target. My life and my journey no longer consists of being a student or being in transition. I am here and life has begun. Phew.

Even with all the fun I have been having in my first few weeks in a new city, I am pleasantly surprised how productive I have managed to stay. Who knew I could function so well on less sleep and more booze. (no worries parents, I will take better care of my liver in the coming weeks). I had an interview today with a cool company, and I think it went well. I didn't break out in hives, or get that big lump in my throat or fart so those are all good signs that I didn't totally blow it. I did have the overwhelming feeling that someone was taking a hammer to my frontal lobe (damn Ketel One party) but other than that I managed to put my best front on of professional, aspiring editorial assistant. I even wore my black rimmed glasses to really drive it home (left the pencil out of my hair though). Fingers crossed.

Spa job starts tomorrow which will consist of me following my fabulous gay boss around and me trying to find out if I get any free perks as an employee (tanning maybe? I hear all that nonsense about skin cancer is all a liberal conspiracy just like global warming). In the meantime, I have been obsessively listening and finding new music due to my lack of cable television and inability to move (so soar from walking). I am going to have one heck of a walk soundtrack to my morning stroll to WORK.
