I will not die an unlived life I will not live in fear of falling Or of catching fire I choose to inhabit my days To allow my living to open me Making me less afraid More accessible To loosen my heart So that it becomes a wing, a torch, a promise I choose to risk my significance. To live so that that which comes to me as seed Goes to the next as blossom And that which comes to me as blossom Goes on as fruit. --Donna Markova

Friday Night

Yeah, so it's Friday night, my friends are all out, my family went to the fair without me, I get off of work at 9pm and now I'm here...at home...on my computer...that's depressing. I'm such a huge wimp when it comes to actually calling ppl and making plans to do something because the whole time I have this little voice in the back of my head that says that whoever I'm talking to is really thinking something along the lines of "Man, this is totally not who I wanted to spend time with tonight" in the back of their head. Irrational fear of rejection, doesn't help my social life. Oh well, nobody's perfect I guess.

Onward to more....well, I'd say interesting but that could be a lie...we'll say, different topics. I may be switching jobs. For those of you who don't know, I do market research surveys and recruiting for focus groups over the phone currently. Pays well, I get to pick my hours, isn't brain surgery, but it can be excruciatingly dull and you really have to approach it with a positive attitude or it's like pulling teeth. On the other hand, I've been volunteering for Seeing Hands this past summer, which is a nonprofit organization this lady, Karen, started that makes childrens books with braille pages so that seeing parents can read along with their blind childrean. It's really helps them learn to read. Well Karen just got a big grant that let's her hire some employees and the business is really taking off and there's tons of work to do. She offered to match the hours and pay I'm planning on having at ISG during the school year. I'd be editing and proofreading braille before it gets embossed. I'd get to schedule myself, listen to music or whatever while I work, I really like the ppl I'd be working with and there is a real sense of purpose and comradere you get from working there. I'm seriously conscidering what I should do.

Btw, I'm totally conscidering getting the audio blog service, which gives you twelve, two-minute blogs a month for $3...listen to my test audioblog below, which really doesn't talk about anything, and tell me if you think it's a good idea or not. Compulsivwriter6@airpost.net

Okay, well, I'll let you all get back to your fun Friday nights ::melodramatic sigh:: ... Lol, later all, Katie
