Back, but probably not better than ever.

Ok, so I realize that its been almost a YEAR since my last blog post, but you know, I've been busy.


BAHAHAHAHAHAhahahahahaha....
AHAHA

That was a good one, wasn't it?

No, my absence has has less to do with my questionable schedule and more to do with a string a bad luck I've suffered over the duration of 2010. I am REALLY hoping that 2011 won't kick my ass quite as hard.

To recap the past year (and I will spare you the sorry and sordid details of my excuse for a love life---thats another blog that could write itself) here goes:

* in the last days of '09 I totaled my car. There is a blog post about this, so if you feel like being enlightened as to what exactly happened I advise you read that

* I got laid off. Not that my job was a career maker, or even mildly lucrative, but it was a job and a source of income--albeit super limited. And I don't know if you've heard about the economy, but its not exactly booming

* My new car decided that it's transmission and clutch had just about had enough of whatever carolla life had to offer and gave me the proverbial finger as I was attempting to drive it home from work on the highway. In the pouring rain. ON THE DAY THAT I GOT LAID OFF. No. You can't make this shit up. I'd like to give myself some credit but even I'm not THAT cruelly creative.

--So yeah. Being broke and jobless made for such a fucking depressing existence I didn't exactly feel like broadcasting it over the blogosphere.

Not to give myself a pity party, really. Although come the fuck on.

I have had to re-evaluate what exactly the fuck I'm expecting to do with my life.

The good news? I've more or less made a decision. The bad news? I can't really afford it, and given that I will have to do it in painstakingly small economically feasible increments it will likely take me about 10 years. Which I will do, because I legitimately want to become a Registered Dietician :)

You know, since the starving-artist-who-no-longer-even-draws thing wasn't exactly working out.

If I hadnt taken out so many effing loans for undergrad I could probably take some out in order to do this, but I REALLY do not want to take out more loans. I just won't do it. So I will take classes when I can afford them.

Unless some benefactor out there would like to take a leap of faith on me and finance it? Anyone out there on the internets want to do that? Anyone?


Let me know....
