:flip:i am in a rather negative mood this evening. it has been 2 days since my birthday, and i have not accomplished any of the things that i have hoped for. (i am not a "woe is me' type, though i DO tend to lean towards the negative=)) i have a loving boyfriend, and a decent roof over my head......for that i cannot complain! but other than that, i am a lost soul trying to define myself in the bowels of reality. people are too cruel (at least in my experience).
i moved to chicago from a smaller town in the month of june. i heard of all the "trendy" spots to meet people and apply for jobs. (mind you, i came into this situation with a VERY open mind in hopes to meet new and interesting people that i could relate to) i applied for every job imaginable in the clark/ belmont area. the reaction that i got from others was not a positive one. i found myself being looked down upon and laughed at for trying to at least somewhat further my position in life. with no success, and no call bakks (two weeks after applying!!!) i gave up . unless you want to be a telemarketer or work at mikky d's, i don't believe that there is any place for you in chicago!! it is not just the jobs that have angered my situation, either.....
recently, i had posted an ad online to meet new people (or at least make penpals in the area),............................i know, iknow, i'm asking for retards by posting a personal ad, but it was worth a shot. i have had many responses. (none of which are very favorable!!!) the only one that i still correspond with is a sweet grrl from shaumburg. the only reason that she still talks to me is b/c she probably hasn't gotten down to the part of me that she dispises yet.
some of the results were so unsatisfactory, that i will have to get into them at another time. (believe me, if i told you about them, you would probably find their FREAKISH lifestyle more exciting than mine!!! for some reason or another, i was not worthy of at least 6 of those losers' time. i guess that you will have to tune in another time for that one, for i do not feel like depressing myself any further this evening.) anyway, i WOULD like to experience all of the positive things that chicago has to offer, bit i'm not quite sure how to go about it! i think it's maybe b/c i am homesikk ; and being a water sign, i am not easily persuaded to change my ideals. well, my boyfriend has to use the computer, so i guess that is all for now.
