Completely off the TomnKatie subject, but I'm very excited. I just volunteered for Habitat for Humanity. I have orientation on Saturday. The only two things that may/will be a challenge are 1) I know HfH started as a Christian mission, not so much a challenge, but it does make me nervous. 2)No smoking on project grounds. Makes perfect sense what with all the things that could go wrong with sparks, smouldering cigarettes and lighter fluid, plus ick mess. It's just how I deal with stress, so we'll see how I get along without that particular crutch.

Overall- Yay being involved and not just bitching about poor housing choices for poor people!

Hey, all. Just got back from interview at Nordstrom's. It went well; I'm being considered for the Bobbi Brown job, and should have a 2nd interview with the line manager next week. I also have two more interviews this week with temp agencies -- one tomorrow and one Thursday, so hopefully job will be in the works SOON.

SOON would be good, as I have $0 and need to pay June rent. We'll see how that goes.

Weirdness -- right after the interview, I took my VCR into a pawn shop. I'm standing there in my little interview outfit, and a large sweaty man says "Going through some hard times, huh?" I say, yeah, trying to keep my head above water while I interview. He says "well, these places never give you enough money, and they make you feel like crap, so here's a $20 bill. It's a gift from the Man Above."

WTF??

I'm confused, so I ask "SDo you want the VCR?" I'm standing in front of the pawn counter, but he's all like "Now, if I took something from you, it wouldn't be a gift."

So I'm all "Are you sure?" thinking "Do you want a BJ in the parking lot, because... NO" but he's all go ahead. So I thank him very graciously, and head back into the parking lot, and he's getting in his truck and I thank him again, and he's all "It's from God....do you believe?" and since I make it a policy never to discuss my true religious leanings with large sweaty men who just gave me money I say "Of course!"

"Is Jesus your lord and savior?"

"For sure!" (thinking, well, if he exisited, he's a good guy, and damn, he came through with gas money today"

It was so BIZARRE.

Watch out for Whitney! She's crazy!

Rumour had it they were beards too. And the publicity before War Of The Worlds wouldn't hurt.

The Tom likes girls? confusion is going around again, with an extra dose of cynical photo-op flacking? "Your winnings, sir."

Sometime Prefers Macca's Gentle Kindness Over John's Acerbic Wit

Right on.

Scientologists believe ailments can be cured with niacin.

Whoa. t /Keanu

Freaky, Erin. And clearly, from his point of view, just genuinely doing a good deed. Whereas from mine, at least, um... a little pressure-y and uncomfortable.

So married with small child.

Oh yeah, good point. I keep forgetting things like that. Really should keep up with celebrity life more.

Or, well, not.

Functionally, I think so.

Joey Potter wasn't a nymphet either. Even in the first season. Too post-pubescent: Humbert Humbert would have had no interest in her unless he had already fallen in love. Lolita herself was the only post-14-year-old he ever had any interest in, and only because he was fixated.

ETA: Apparently Joey was about to turn fifteen in the first episode. So she maybe qualifies. Barely. Still, body-wise, I'm guessing her boobies disqualified her.

Katie Holmes was in that movie with Riley. But she played a teen there, too. Don't think she's a teen in Batman. Seems unlikely.

Watch out for Whitney! She's crazy!

BWAHAHAHA!

Yeah, Em, it was so strange. But I am crazy broke, so....I took it and put it in the gas tank. I have pride, but I kinda need to get to interviews.

Too post-pubescent

Eh. She was a dewy 15 or 16 when the show debuted. Works for me. Nymphet, to me, means the young edge of nubile. But nubile.

Don't think she's a teen in Batman. Seems unlikely.

All the better time to do something old, like date a guy who got famous shortly after she was born.

I don't think I can think about Tom/Katie anymore. It's just too large an "Eww".

The age difference between them doesn't even ping me. She's an adult.

Those pictures of him on Oprah make me think it's too bad he's so anti-medication.
