so, im in the middle of writing a personal statement, and it’s…well, it’s not going well. i’m kind of having a breakdown about it. i am a decent writer, but personal statements are just a completely different ball game. i have my idea, and i’m happy with it, but the words and paragraphs just look so…lame. le sigh.

if it weren’t for andrea, i probably would have given up by now. but she is amazing and provides me encouragement like this (via g-chat):

the other route you could go is just use the words of michelle tanner, “but i’m a fun girl.” true, brief and with all of the people writing in cliches and run-on sentences, i think they’re in need of some fun.

please send love. i need it.

I recall having similar angst when I was writing cover letters ALL the time. Blech. I kept it real (as you may recall). So should you. People dig reality.

nothing says nostalgia like listening to old mixed cds. and, in case you didn’t know, my mixed-cd-making skills are legendary. (or, well, were. i mean, since the downfall of napster and kazaa, it’s been a bit rough in the mixed-cd-making industry. 99 cents per song? pass.)

I’m a fan of Covert Op myself.

Of course, that mix doesn’t really exist. What? No, you’re talking about something that never happened!
