IF you're feeling sad and lonely there's a service I can render.
Tell the one who loves you only, I can be so warm and tender.
Call me, don't be afraid you can call me, maybe it's late but just, call me.
tell me and I'll be around.
When its seems your friends desert you, there's somebody thinking of you.
I'm the one who'll never hurt you, maybe that's because I love you.
Call me, don't be afraid you can call me, maybe it's late but just, call me.
tell me and I'll be around.
Now don't forget me, because if you let me, I will always stay by you.
You gotta to trust me, that's how it must be, there's so much that I can do.
If you call, I'll be right with you. You and I should be together.
Take this love I long to give you. I'll be at your side forever -
call me, don't be afraid, maybe it's late but just call me tell me and I'll be around
call me, don't be afraid, maybe it's late but just call me tell me and I'll be around

Lately, my work situation has made me very anxious, and I started having stomach aches again.  I leave this weekend for a semi-working vacation in California, where I plan to distribute copies of my resume to different musical instrument stores and possibly to a few of the distributors I know through my current music store job.

Now, almost every time someone tells me to hang in there or they're praying for me, I want to hurl them through a wall and scream, "I don't need your pity."  I'm just ready for the transition period to be over.  I want a job where I can support myself and don't need my mom to cover any of my bills.  (I currently feel like the biggest leech and loser in the world rolled into one.)  I want a boyfriend who loves me.  I desperately want to move out of my mom's house--permanently.  And I really, really, really need a good vacation.

On a much happier note, I bought my mom a violin for mother's day, and she is very excited to start learning after we return from California.

( Southern jokes: )

As a native of the South, I found it pretty funny.

Here are a few travel ideas for Paris, France:
Haut Marais via Daily Candy

Also, VIEQUES, PUERTO RICO (air-link island hoppers in the Spanish Virgin Islands)

Over the holidays, I mentioned my desire to travel to Japan--and possibly other locations--to one of my older cousins.  When I told him I was trying to get a steady job first before I travel and how much trouble I am having finding a newer and better job, he suggested I take my vacation before I am tied down by work or family obligations.  I thought about it, and I think he's right.  If I wait until I have a more demanding job, I might not have time to go.  Also, my current situation--waiting for responses from grad schools, constant job searches ending in failure, staying in my hometown listening to my family constantly asking, "So, did you find a job?  What about a new boyfriend?" or "You need to save [more of] your money.  You need to work in a place that pays more." (fortunately, since I increased my hours, the last comment isn't used as often anymore) or the more supportive yet still frustrating "Well, I worked at McDonald's/a shoe store/a restaurant/as a teacher in a bad school/in the mailroom, and I managed to work my way into a better job later."--is driving me over the edge.  I need a trip to get away.  I keep having bouts of insomnia.  A few days ago, I only slept two hours in two days.  Fortunately, I was able to sleep the second night after a couple of glasses of wine and another frustrating conversation with my aunts.  I really need a vacation.

In good news:  I replaced one of the pickups in my guitar, and it sounds great!

I've been searching for Witch Doctor #0, but from what I understand, #0 refers to the preview issue in Walking Dead #85.  If anyone knows anything else, please feel free to comment! :)

I am a tiger.  My mom is a tiger, also, and my dad was a dragon.

The year chart attached to the article is pretty cool, too.

You become successful by learning from your mistakes and never giving up.  Also, some luck and connecting with people tends to help.

Read the scroll-over!  Sadly, the Louisiana to-go cup is an endangered species, but I'm still psyched about it being mentioned! XD
