My brain is melting.

It's official: I am painfully bored. I spend my days alone in the house searching for jobs on the internet, reading, doing crossword puzzles (a.k.a. getting really angry and questioning my intelligence when I can't complete crossword puzzles), and playing my guitar badly. Athena and I hang out and watch TV/movies most evenings when she's not working. There's nowhere to go and little to do 'round these parts, but even if there was something going on, I'd likely be going it alone, which is okay sometimes, but I thrive on human interaction, so I'm starting to get a little stir-crazy. I talk to myself far more often and more seriously than can be considered "normal." I check my email obsessively to see if I have any job offers and/or friends. Mostly I just have spam. Although I did get a friend request on MySpace from some random 16-year-old bi-chick from one of the local high schools. I shan't be accepting said request, as that would be beyond "ishy," but it's encouraging that someone is expressing interest... too bad no 16-year-olds were into me when I was 16.

No word yet on any of the jobs for which I have applied. I haven't even heard anything from ManPower about potential temp jobs. I'm getting perturbed.

This weekend I'm driving down to Richmond for my friend's wedding. I'm happy for her on this joyous occaision and blah, blah, blah, but frankly, weddings of peers really weird me out (and believe me, I've been to a lot of 'em this year). They're gettin' hitched and moving on, and I'm stuck in limbo (which bears a striking resemblance to my parents' house), very much single and unemployed. Now let me clarify, I have no desire to get married any time in the foreseeable future, but a date would be awesome. You know, coffee, conversation, nervous laughter, maybe a kiss? At this point I'd settle for anyone who can get me out of the damn house. A job would be great, too.

I've tried to be all introverted and broody and indie-rock, but I cannot supress my natural extroverted tendencies. I must interact with people! Where are all the people?? Someone talk to me! Please?
