Where I’m At Right Now

For No One hasn’t been my top priority in months. I’ve made many promises to myself to make updates, to jot down new ideas on what to blog about — but ultimately have not had the motivation to keep this going.

I’m not quitting though, because the idea of documenting my life in a place “for no one” is still so appealing to me that perhaps I’ll keep holding onto this space and give it another go when I have time for myself (or no one).

FOR NO ONE
Aside from expanding my side hustle… the above picture sums up where my brain is at right now. I need/want a job. A real job — I’m tired of being a contract freelancer, as I’ve discovered while maybe it’s the best for some (in terms of experience)… it’s just not my cup of tea for someone to hunt out jobs for me, then force me to take them just so they can get paid.

I’ll need a job to save money. And I’ll need that money to move out. I’ll also need that money for a baby.

If you know me personally, DON’T FREAK OUT — but I want a baby. I’m getting to the age where my biological clock is just about dying out and while I’ve never been the type of woman to think “I need a man and a relationship to have a baby,” — I’m exhausted of the hope of a happy ending coming along, thus want to create one on my own.

I’ve already half-heartedly researched my options (with the discouraging cloud of unemployment and $73 in my bank account), but it all boils down to the money I can make (after securing a job) so I can wholeheartedly devote myself to what I’ve been wanting for so long.

Oh and saving money to pay my student loans (that have not found me a job in almost 2 years) until 2022. I guess money really is the cause and solution for all problems.

G.B.F.


Can we watch this? I mean, like… can we really watch this? I’m liking the whole “bad-girls-rule-the-school” feel but with the addition of a gay guy, instead of the loser turned coolest girl in the world (like, LiLo in Mean Girls or Winona via Heather’s).

And um, hello… Jonathan Silverman!

RIP Google Reader

Have you heard the news that’s driving the blog loving internet world crazy? Yep, Google Reader is meeting it’s demise come July 1st.

I was greeted on March 13 with a pop up on my Google Reader page, notifying me that I basically had to take my shit via Google Takeout and bounce… which made me angry and confused, as Google Reader and I have been in a very deep, love-hate relationship for many years. I didn’t get angry when I could no longer share my starred items with the world, I accepted it but THIS… THIS, is hard for me. I mean, when something becomes a part of your daily routine and has been for YEARS… what do you do when you’re told you have to phase it out of your life?

Like any other break up, I’ve tried finding other things to take up my time… other readers. I’ve discovered Feedly which a bagillion Google Readers have transitioned to… and I am in love with the whole aesthetics of it on my iPhone but for the life of me cannot figure out how to work it on my computer — and that is my biggest issue with Feedly.

Google
I’ve already downloaded all my “belongings” which was painless… but now it’s just sitting in my download file waiting for a new home… and that hurts my heart.

I’ve come across the following articles with other Google Reader Alternatives and still find myself not satisfied with any just by glancing at screenshots of them.THEY AREN’T MY GOOGLE READER dammit!!
Google Reader is dying, but we have five worthy alternatives
9 Google Reader Alternatives now that Google Reader is Dead
8 Google Reader Alternatives That Will Ease Your RSS Pain

And they all have the same type of suggestions, so… now I’m just sort of annoyed that Feedly is the only one that is easiest to look at and I can’t get it to fucking work on my computer. This can go either two ways…

1. I get an iPad mini or update my computer somehow
2. I forget about blogs and focus on my life

Guess I’ll be saving up for an iPad or more RAM.
