Last week I sent my resume to a Chicago area Pontiac dealership about their posting for an Internet Department position. I received a call from the HR over the weekend to ask a few questions about my resume. I’m about to return the call right now, and I really hope it goes well. I’m getting a bit antsy being jobless, and am definitely interested in this position. Hopefully I can snag an interview!

Not much else has been happening lately. I’m kind of PMSing and had a bit of a fit on Sunday night. I feel bad because Mark took the brunt of it and I feel like it’s cause some kind of rift. Though another symptom I typically deal with when I’m PMSing (aside from instant agitation, being clingy, and mood swings) is a slight bit of paranoia. I’m not saying I’m completely crazy, I just have this overwhelming sense of paranoia that I’ve caused someone to feel otherwise about me. Hopefully I didn’t cause too much stress for the poor guy on Sunday, I felt pretty bad about it.

If only guys would just succumb to girl’s emotions (or pleas haha) and just comfort, console, and deliver chocolates when they are demanded!

The other day I finally got ahold of an invite for Virb.com which is run by Unborn Media, who happened to create Purevolume. I’m in love with it, and even more obsessed with it then I was when I first got on myspace. I love the sleek design, the back end, and how everything is set up. It’s still a new baby, so it’s pretty bare (considering that it’s invite based too) so it’s not crowded yet.

I love the fact that you’re able to tweak the style of your profile with the actual stylesheet; Not that cock-and-bull styling by sticking it in your “About Me.” You also have the option to create extra modules, track songs with Virbtune (think last.fm built in, but virb.style). It screams Web 2.0 which I happen to be a sucker for.

Here’s what my profile looks like right now, with slight tweaking:

Also, sorry for my site being down from 3AM CST to 2AM CST. I had some Apache httpd issues that I needed to sort out and well, yeah, that’s why it was down. It sucked too, but you know what, it happens.

That’s right, I’m talking about Valentine’s Day. It’s coming up in oh, three and a half weeks? I can’t say that I’ve ever truly hated this Hallmark holiday. Most of them I’ve been single, and very few of them I’ve actually gone out for them, actually scratch that. I’ve only ever done something on Valentine’s Day (eg: dinner, etc.) once and that was last year. Although I never really care for such cheesy things though I won’t ever deny that I’d still enjoy them no less.

With that being said, I’m the kind of girl that wants the person I like to feel like he’s on top of the world, and that he’s someone that means a lot to me. So I’ve already been trying to come up with something to do for Mark. I’m not going to do anything crazy or over the top. I was actually thinking about making something for him, much like the Bloo (from Foster’s Home For Imaginary Friends) trash can I made, just because I wanted to. I’m not really sure what the hell to make or even where to start.

All I know is that I’m just so happy with almost everything right now. I know I keep saying it, but I can’t help it. God, I’m probably annoying most of my readers right now, mushing on about my feelings for Mark and whatnot. Now if only I could just focus more on obtaining a new job, then everything would be set! On that note, I’m going to go ahead and go to sleep. I’ve tried to pay attention to the finishing touches for the redesign I’ve been working on, but just haven’t been able to.. Need to just go to sleep, get up tomorrow and run out to a few places to toss out some resumes and applications.

Oh, but back to Valentine’s Day, please do share some ideas on what I should make. I’m actually thinking of.. well.. hell, I’m not that stupid Mark, I’m not going to write about it where you can read it! =P

This is going to be a short and simple update: Everyone, at one point in their lives, should go to see Medieval Times. I had a lot of fun; It’s even better if you bring the loudest friends you have possible, because maybe, just maybe your knight will bask in the limelight and show off a little 🙂 Or hell, throw you a rose which you end up missing! So with that said, I went last night and had such a great time. I want to go again.

Sticking to the short and simple, take a visit to wpdesigner.com. Small Potato (his nickname, isn’t that something?) is working on a goal of one theme a day for 31 (and counting) days. So far he’s completed four themes. His themes thus far are titled: Peacful Rush, Vengeance, Dream On, and Exhausted. View all of his themes and leave him some much needed comments, critiques and chant him on so he has the motivation to go through with his self-challenge.
