This being my first Journal,
So I was thinking about what to write. I'm not as clever or as cool as others, my life is mostly mundane, and my grammar is for crap even though I'm an editor, but I try. I'll try.
Right now I am a displaced Austinite, single working mom with no life so mostly I guess I'll write about my little mini me, Zoe, my 3 year old daughter. The other thing I can write about, since I have no life, is my experiences with my psycho ex and internet dating, which is much more entertaining ... of which I have been submitting myself to laughable situations for about ten months now. Although dating as a single mom is much more interesting and fun because a) I don't want to get married again and b) am not under the normal dating pressures of ticking baby clocks and c) I'm in my mid 30's so I am wiser in the ways of bullshitting men. It's like being a man practically.... sex without any guilt or pressure. You know that book The Rules? Well, this is like dating without any rules because I don't care about the outcome.
And the other thing I can write about is my job, which is equally laughable. As one that chooses to have no career path, I work for an environmental remediation firm as an editor (albeit slave) reading about toxic waste for a living for an oil and gas company. Mostly I goof around a bit, but I totally dig it and would do this until I could no longer viably read if they let me. I'm a shitty editor, but they are all engineers so they don't notice the difference.
So, since I don't really have anything to write about today, I'll have to just leave it at this intro and some various journal entries from the past month. Glad to meet you all. Hopefully I'll have something fun and witty to write about although I don't think I can top setting my menu on fire, or being a True Porn Clerk.
