    You're going to own a home in Mexico!?

    That sounds completely awesome. And I second the bit about not living with your family. Until the house repairs are finished (which, with the way that my father runs things, could be an infinite amount of time) W, myself, Neutrino, Lenore, Edgar, and Beauregaard (plus all of my worldly possessions) are stuck in Monroe.

    If things aren't finished at the house in Gainesville by the end of next week, I'm moving in anyway. Into the garage.

    FYI, I was told that the house would be completely finished by the time we got here. That's why I, um, quit my favorite job ever and spent nearly all of my savings moving.

    To my mom's house.

    Yeah, this isn't working out the way I planned.

    1. If you do go to Mexico, and you happen to spend some time in Guadalajara, you are required to take as many pictures as you possibly can for me (not that you wouldn't do this anyway). I am completely obsessed with that city. I think it's because they say the weather's really mild.

    2. I'm really sorry that the home situation is making you so unhappy. And for what it's worth, I don't think your trouble landing a job is because you were a lazy student. I think it's because no one can ever find a job right after college. Have you thought about temping?
    I know I keep sining its praises without ever having tried it, but tons of people I know with decent jobs say they started out temping at their places of employment.

    3. Have you listened to Whatever and Ever amen? I don't like all of Ben Folds's stuff, but that album is really quite excellent. A classic, even.

    4. I seem to remember you saying you sent Bill Clinton a Valentine at some point, so I'm guessing the one about pickled beets is the lie.
