I am on at work and I get this call from this total stranger who dialed my phone extension looking for a job. I told her I didn't do HR and I could trasnfer her over to them. She insisted on asking me questions on what I did. I told her again if she'd like I could transfer her to either HR or my manager, it was her choice... After a couple of seconds of her explaining herself I just hit the transfer button and patched it to the operator. Here is my dilemma: WHY DID I STAY ON THE PHONE WITH HER SO LONG??? Sometimes I wonder about myself... either I am just too damn nosey or I don't care how my time is spent.

Today I did a Google search for a friend of mines web site. He is running for office in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives. I found this site obviously, just not the Jeff Harris I was looking for. Elect Jeff Harris 2006!

I found out that I got into the BRIT School of Performing Arts, I was 14 and I'd wanted to be an actor as long as I could remember. Getting into this school completely changed my life.

Last week, on Spring Break, I had sex with a random guy. Is it still cheating when I was too drunk to know if I was completely blacked out or just passed out? I hate myself at this moment more than I ever have. Whether it was consensual or not is irrelevant. Either I was raped, or I cheated on the one I love. I am not sure what would hurt more.

I was on the commuter rail the other day, and the conductor was walking by and saw my knee brace. He asked what happened, and I told him how I fell and broke my kneecap. He said, "You know it amazes me how easy it is to break a kneecap. All you need to do is hit it just so, you know -- right along here (showing me the side of his leg) -- and then pop...the guy can't walk." Then he smiled and took my ticket.

Is it acceptable not to wear underwear to your own wedding?! I didn't, and of course one minute before I was to go down the beach, I dribbled water on my crotch and looked like I wet myself... "I love you dear, sorry I am incontinent!" Fortunately it was a quick blast with the hairdryer and I was pee free.

He tried to take me out for dinner last night. I don't like going out for Valentine's day. Every restaurant he attempted to take me to had a two hour wait. Hasn't he ever heard of reservations? I tried to be nice and patient, but I asked him to never do it again, and if he did, to plan ahead. We ended up having fish and chips from the drive thru on the way home... and all I could think about was how much I miss dating older men.

I was wrong in thinking I had until May, when my lease runs out, to figure out what I want to do in terms of my living situation. I live with my abusive ex. I don't have the money to leave... but I don't want to feel like a battered house wife, and I've got too many bruises to stay...

I took a home pregnancy test... I wasn't even late yet, but I knew something was different. It came up positive after three minutes!! Yippee!! 13 months of trying, and we just got referred to the fertility clinic ... I can't believe it! If all goes well, our due date is October 11th!

I'm not sure why I keep falling for people who live far away. I am great at long distance relationships... it seems as if they have the same area code as me, it will never work out.

I'm an unemployed union plumber, still waiting for work. i drove to the store then purchased a 12 pack of beer and enjoyed the rest of my day.
January 22, 2006
My boyfriend of three years told me today that he doesn't love me and can't ever love me like I love him. It makes me feel like such a loser. It even makes me sound like a loser. Even though our friends think I'm dating down.

I stood outside the library talking to my friends when I saw an old friend walk by. Instead of ignoring him I said hello and he said hello and it was very awkward until he said he had to go and left. His mother is dying and shouldn't live any more then three months but I don't have the heart to call him and ask him to a movie or see how he's doing. Some friend I am.
January 16, 2006
I turned 20 today. I thought that turning 20 would be a huge deal, that it would be like a funeral for my innocence and teenage years. Instead, I spent the day running around and taking care of cats and children. It was pretty lame.
January 12, 2006
Today was a really weird day. I Googled my name and I discovered the name Jeff Harris has been tainted by this freaky website, which ironically, I'm writing on right now.

They say you should play competitive sports because you learn more about yourself, but all I've learned is that I'm a childish, immature, petty, and cruel person. All of this decent-person stuff is just a ruse brought on by society.

A few days ago Finland elected a president for the next six years again, nice. Things are way too good in Finland... no worries for us.

A year ago I fell in love with someone I couldn't have, three days ago I slept with him and tonight he broke my heart and i spent the count down to the new year screaming at him while he tried not to cry. I haven't cried yet, I think I am kinda of numb, it's scary to think that I will never have a real conversation with him ever again. Good way to start 2006.

A month ago at a family lunch, Grandpa asked when he would be attending my wedding. This morning, mother told me that grampa asked her if my sister and I are married. I'm not sure what to make of grandpa anymore... he's always had a strange sense of humor, but now we're thinking he's losing his mind...

The girl I had been missing so much over the last two years suddenly mailed that she wanted to see me. We sat in the park's cold wind, drank hot chocolate and said what we both wanted to hear. I now have two toothbrushes on my bathroom sink again. Miracles do exist.

I dont care if you don't have anywhere else to go. No - I'm sorry, we're not family. You are the child of my father's first son from his first marriage. My mom was wife number four. Go bother the other two families and leave me alone. You wake the hate in me! You need a drink. Go have a drink and lose another child to the state.

In 2 days I am leaving on a plane to meet the love of my life in Denver, Colorado. In 6 1/2 months, we plan to get married and she's moving back up here to the Fairbanks area. We love each other incredibly. This will be the first time I am meeting her, but I already feel as if I have known her my whole life.
December 9, 2005
Today is my wedding day, and all I can do is sit in front of my laptop, scanning the various bits of other peoples' lives that are out there for everyone to peruse at 2:09 AM.
December 1, 2005
I made postcards about teeth this morning and stayed up all night writing an essay about venereal disease in Victorian France. I'm worried that I'll be robbed on my walk home. College is so weird.
November 30, 2005
I had two free VIP tickets to the Bob Dylan concert in Brixton. I asked out a man I really fancied (even though I had a boyfriend). I told him he was the third person I'd asked so he shouldn't feel special. We snogged all night, it was amazing! I felt like a teenager.

Today is my Mom's birthday. She was born in 1948 and is celebrating her birthday this year in Zihuatanejo, where the weather is clear and 86 degrees Fahrenheit. In Toronto it is raining, and the temperature is going to fall below zero today.

There was ice cream and sprinkles plus a heavy dose of hosility last night.
November 24, 2005
Thanksgiving today, and our family had our first turkey ever. I don't see what the big deal about turkey is. The first turkey 30 years after my parents first stepped on American soil, and I don't really care if we ever bake one again.

Last night I was at a party where the only guy I wanted happened to be the birthday boy, and he was passed out next to the toilet. I took off his shoes and brought him a pillow while he yelled at his brother for letting me see him. I am flattered he cared about what he looked like to me, but I am disapointed he wanted me gone so badly.

I've been playing a trivia game through e-mail with a few people I know, the daily Asimov quiz from the paper. Last week I got the highest ever score from the group, a 40 out of a possible 45 (they have charts and graphs, trust me). I beat all of the boys, and I needed somewhere to be all prideful for a second or two. Thanks!

OK, so I am at work right now. Bored really... it's not busy (I probably just jinxed myself, but oh well...). So my fantastic boyfriend is not picking up his phone at work, he is probably hanging out at the sheriff's office (he is a probation officer). I just want him to take the meat out of the freezer to defrost if he goes home for lunch, I forgot this morning. Sheesh... So I guess when I get home the chicken will have to go into the microwave...

We did a home pregnancy test twice and it was positive. The second one was done on November 7. On November 9, I started bleeding lightly after having only spotting on the prior days. On Thursday night, I saw a clot on my pad. When I woke up in the middle of the night, there was a huge clot. In the early morning, I heard something drop into the toilet. It was the size of a thumb. I told myself I must have lost the baby. We went to ER the next day and the doctor said that the cervix was closed. We had an ultrasound and we were told that it was still too early to see anything. Blood tests were done and we get the results tomorrow.
