Oooh, Headmistress Pix!!
(More seriously, I kinda figured the handwavy life stuff was some job thing, and I hope that one way or another you can get a better commute.)
Aren't they something. They're like butterflies, or little pieces of wrapping paper blowing around.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I was thinking it had to be job stuff. and I think closer would be way better, esp with your insomnia issues. Good luck.
and Good luck to you Erin. It is bad enough to be in that situation - and worse when it is someone els's situation - and even worse when the main cause is really not someone you can have any influence over. Sending you peaceful thoughts

Our wings are not tired.
Getting rid of the commute would be a wonderful thing. Best hopes that the right position happens.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Good luck, Kristin!

The status is NOT quo.
Thanks. I'm wrestling with my cover letter and statement of educational philosophy now. My cover letter is a page too long, and I've barely started the statement. Gargh. I hate this process.

oooh. Good luck Pix!! Lack of crazy commute would be awesome, as would more pay.
Did I mention house I like came back on the market? Now I'm psyching myself out going "but, but, WHY is it cheaper?? Is there something wrong with it that I'm MISSING??" but I did go online this morning and ask to see it again. And whether anything is really worth that much money OMG. And whether any of the three friends I've talked to would actually be willing ot be my roommate, when it comes down to it.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Good luck, Kristin!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Good luck, Kristin, and {{Erin}}.
meara, maybe it's cheaper now just because it didn't sell before. It might not be an indicator of anything wrong with the house, per se, just a down market. Maybe the homeowners were being overly optimistic in their previous price, and this price is more likely to get them a sale. In any case, if you like it, put a ring on it... or an offer, anyway.

Good luck Meara.
Pix, I have a very good sense of what you are going through. Calm~ma to help you with the various applications. And tons of job~ma to get one of them. I kinda like the sound of Headmistress!
