Perhaps everything I've been doing these past years has been wrong..

Since now- I love not working hard at school, I love having a legit/paid/full time 8-5 job, I love writing professionally, I love "business attire," I love being around people, I (have) love(d) (for the past 6ish months until two-ish weeks from now) not having a boyfriend, I love riding on the back of motorcycles, I love meeting new people I'd usually shrug off, I love maintaining a regular work-out schedule, I love eating late-night food in bed, I love drinking wine, I love not being dependent on cigarettes, I love living in LA, I love being simply WYSIWYG with no hidden agenda or emotion and I love how I no longer feel like twat for embracing a hedonistic, good natured and fun-loving attitude despite it being normal and uninteresting.

Alternatively, I hate PCs, I hate Adobe Acrobat Pro 9, I hate people who think Scientology is a legitimate religion/philosophy, I hate staying in, I hate wasting the day sleeping (though sometimes I still do it, damnit), I hate hipster bands, I hate Hollywood, I hate driving across town, I hate mind games, I hate seeing people from my past and I hate being constant and defined by who I grew up being.

This time last year, who would have guessed?

You know people who really dig on Scientology? Oh man, what're they like? Can you see madness in their eyes?

At my new job there are five of them! "Jedis" we call them. I've never actually known any that I've been aware of, but it's pretty messed up. We are not allowed to wear perfume/scented lotions in the office because it is "offensive" to them that we use chemicals to alter ourselves. So if they can discriminate against me and change my daily activities and scorn me whenever I walk by to pour a cup of coffee, fuck that. In turn, I still think they are quack jobs and cannot cannot cannot hold their opinions seriously. Ahh they make me so angry!

Hahahahahahahahaa, ohhhh man! Thank you for that, this knowledge has made my morning. Btw, have you seen the leaked video of Tom Cruise from one of the Scientology training vids? Lemme see if I can dredge it up...

Here we are:


Nutbar! And I mean, I'm into some weird shit. I read Tarot and am a practicing astrologer etc etc, and I'm still compelled to throw stones.

Regarding the rest of your entry, the good stuff seems to outnumber the bad when stacked side by side. Outnumber doesn't always mean outweigh, of course...you're the only one who can say if you're happy where you are, doing what you do. I guess the main thing to ask is, "Is there somewhere that I would (realistically) rather be?"

Haha yeah, umm, these people are so delusional. Only the scientologists can bring peace! I'm all about the notion of trying to reach out and help society and feel that there is a sense of responsibility to prolong mankind. That's delightful, but it all seems like such a fad for the super rich and gullible. So it strikes me as so strange when average coworkers speak about it with a straight face. I just don't get how this became so widely accepted. If I ever decide to quit, I'll just show up to work wearing an "Anonymous" mask.

But yes, aside from my grievances about this ridiculousness, yes it's always important to ponder your question of "Is there somewhere that I would (realistically) rather be?" And I, as I sense with you as well, am always cognizant of that and try to ensure so. And I think it's going pretty well. A proactive, positive attitude goes a long way, as cheesy as that sounds.
