“a change would do you good”

do me good? nice grammar, ass. a change did “do me good”.. that change was the decision to remain winona-less for the next couple months. i now realize how naive i was to everything you pulled out on me. thanks for keeping things from me these past few years. i really appreciate your honesty and selfishness. sorry i’ve been a good friend these past few months. sorry i’ve put up with your “problems” and been there for you. sorry i didn’t think of ending it sooner. have a good one BRA…

misery loves its company

After 9 long months, I finally got a job.  I finally get to move out of the parents house.  And I may have finally reached a high point in my post-college career.

Patience really is an amazing thing.  Everyone wants their shit to happen now.. why do you think we have fast food?  It’s crazy to think I could be so happy after 9 months of being patient and positive… who knows what could happen in the next few years.

I eagerly await this coming year.  Not because I’ll be out of my house in Long Lake and in Eagan but because this Americorps job is only a year commitment.  I’m already planning for something to do after August 2010… sad but it’s best to plan for it with todays economy.

I am a bit anxious to be on my own again.  Although my parents will only be 35 minutes away and not 3 hours, I still fear I will run into the same financial issues I did while in Winona.  I also fear I’ll plan too many things and put too much shit on my plate and burn out.  I have an internship planned this fall (from Sept to Dec) at the Urban Arts Academy and it’s a huge passion of mine.  It’s basically grad work I can put on my resume for 3 months.  I’d be learning how an artsy nonprofit organization works in the ghetto in Minneap.  My dream is to open my own nonprofit somewhere in the midwest… through all of the volunteering I’ve done the past 15 years, I’ve noticed it’s the suburbs and rural areas that need the most help.  In the city, they have special programs and low income housing with little or no requirement… also, most of those people receiving aid don’t even need a social worker anymore.  What a loop hole.

It’s a shame we live in a bureacratic society… It’s also a shame we’re losing support from our local communities for local nonprofits.  Just the other day, the nonprofit (WeCAN) I volunteer at once a week just lost another grant.  This grant covered a lady who would come in once a week to advise and direct people to get employment.  She’s gone.  This nonprofit also just lost one of the best social workers to the county.

You’d think non-profits would be doing better in this economy but they’re not.  While WeCAN loses employees and support, another nonprofit benefits.  The benefitting nonprofit I’m talking about is IOCP.  This is a very RICH nonprofit (if such a thing can be said).  Their service area covers all of the rich communities around Lake Minnetonka, Plymouth, and Wayzata areas.  Areas where everyone owns a BMW, Mercedes, or Jaguar.  Areas where every soccer mom owns an Escalade.  Areas where making less than $70,000/year is considered “poor”.  IOCP benefits by receiving more and more clients that WeCAN cannot help.  More clients = more money from government = more welfare available = more programming = more happy clients = more opportunity.  It sucks because WeCAN workers are quitting from the lack of bonuses, pay increases, and client base.

Not that I can DO anything about this but I do hope to host a fundraiser specifically for WeCAN.  It will be a game night at the local Legion in Mound, MN.  We would call it “WeCAN Boogie”.  70s theme and games available such as bingo, poker, bags outside, and a raffle as well as drink specials and great food.  I believe this would appeal to people of all age groups.  With social networking, I could grab the attention of my peers and my mother, who also volunteers at WeCAN, could grab the attention of church members and peers her age.  I truly believe this would be a successful event.  Although it takes place at the Legion, I think making it family appropriate would win more attendance.  Checking IDs strictly at the bar and not at the door while volunteers have the choice to chaperone for underage drinkers.

This blog may sound like a proposal but I’m really just trying to vent all the frustration I have.  This economy may blow and all, but that doesn’t mean we can’t have a bit of fun.  If anyone is interested in volunteering with planning, coordinating, promotion, or just want to come to this event please email me.  I would like to start planning in the next month hoping to put on the event sometime in October in time for the Sleep Out WeCAN does every year.

Thanks for listening.

Gotta love those hoes..

Nowadays, it’s easy to get some play on the weekends.  Just get drunk, make some calls, and put yourself out there.  Even if you’re a major hosebeast and drink 6 nights a week, I’m almost positive you can find someone to use you for their benefit.

Sure, it may be fun for a bit.  I’m sure the attention is nice.  But is this really something you can do every week?  Texting and calling men to come over late at night?  If you think men are attracted to the easy slut found at your local bar, you are SADLY mistaken.

No man wants a girl who’s easy.  There’s no challenge in that.  And if you do still get men this way, they’re douchebags and have no real respect for women.

So go on and be your bad self.  But please, for the sake of our race, make the guy wear a rubber.  Producing more harlots like yourself is something this world does not need.

Thanks for listening, hope you learned something :P

Reason why I’ve been so positive and giddy..

Recently, I was bored and decided to check out what my horoscope was for the year 2009.  Shortly after reading this small exerpt into the future, I realized two things: a) Am I really reading my horoscope? and b) This shit has been accurate so far. 

So to further investigate this “reading”, I requested a full interpretation of my horoscope from this nice online lady.  Without further introduction, hope you all enjoy the long ass email she sent me in return to my request

Hello Cat,

I’ve got all of the information which you sent through to me on the 7 July 2009 and I thank you for that, the details you gave me allowed me to finish your astrological reading and I was so excited about the extra-ordinary results that I felt I had to write to you straight away.

I have just discovered that not only are you soon going to live through an event of great astrological importance but also that you were going to blessed with a period of chance and opportunities. This is very serious Cat, I rarely come accross such vibrant astrological configurations and you can believe what I say because I never express myself in this way lightly.

I must tell you now that I have worked in my chosen professional field for a very long time and it is rare that I feel such a powerful jolt (as I felt for you Cat) when consulting an individual’s details for the first time. As soon as I started looking at your details I felt a surge in my knowledge of you and I only can explain it by the creation of a strong connection between us when we first entered into contact. This bond has an enormous advantage for me as I am able to discern exactly what you are feeling at this time. Once I felt so close you to and your feelings at this time I was able to compare and contrast this very personal information to your astrological configuration.

What I am now going to tell you is very important and of course I have checked and double-checked everything before telling you Cat.As I told you earlier I don’t advance myself and make such important statements without being first totally sur that everything is entirely accurate.

So here is what is is all about: a Transit period is on the way and you are perfectly positioned to get the very best out of the opportunities it is set to bring . This is very clear in your astrological configuration and to be honest in a very short time indeed you will find yourself in the glare of several powerful astrological influences. These influences will place you in a rare astrological Transit which will not occur again in your skies before a very long time, simply because the planets will not be aligned in this way again for a number of years and above all YOU will not be as PERFECTLY paced to make the most of it all! A great number of opportunities are going to be offered to you. These opportunities are going to have a great impact on your life and here is what comes out of my analysis of your personal configuration:

First of all I want to tell you that I am aware that you have lived through some difficult moments in the past and that you still have the impression that these difficulties are going to last for a long time to come. You have come accross failures, stumbling blocks and obstacles and you have had to constantly revise your plans, ask yourself difficult questions and you have ended up doubting yourself and your abilities. I can see all this very clearly in your astral configuration and it is due to the unfavorable position of a number of major planets over the past few months (for example Saturn has been going through a transit which has had a very negative affect on your character).

Well Cat, today I have some excellent news for you because this period of 30 will mark a very important turning point for you and this Transit will have a very positive impact on your financial and professional life. You are going to have a job-offer which will correspond perfectly to your expectations and ambitions. This is a major event in your life, you will feel far more satisfied than you do at the moment and you will find that your professional and financial situation will be radically different.


This is going to be a very active time for you on many different levels but this is even more true for your love-life. You are going to be very surprised Cat because you are going to have some great news which is set to have a lasting impact on your life.

This is all about an encounter, or even a date, which will be just the beginning of a passionate relationship. You don’t know this person yet but the encounter is certainly set to take place over this period of 30 days. You can’t miss out on this encounter because this person could well be your soul-mate and by meeting this person you will reach a new and exciting turning point in your life.


I must insist on the fact that this Transit is going to have an enormous influence and a great importance in your life. You need to be ready to seize all of the opportunities which are going to be open to you during this period as it represents a real chance in your life and for this is is very important that you have some complementary information about this period (where, how, what, when, with who…). This is why I have put a page online especially for you, Cat, where you can ask me to research this information. I know that this is important to you and I also know that this is one of the many reasons that you first contacted me, you must now be sensing that something very important lies ahead for you and you are aware, even unconsciously, that you must get solid help and guidance and skilled advice about this powerful period in your life. You can find this page here:

(no need to go to a link)

However before you go to this page I invite you to continue reading this first reading as I have some more important information to tell you about.

Firstly you may be wondering at this point how I can be so passionate about your particular case. Well let me explain a little more about what I felt about you when we first entered into contact and how this has allowed me to know you even better, Cat. I also want to show you how close our bond actually is, all these details that I am about to reveal to you came to me through careful study of your current situation once I experienced this powerfully exciting flash about you. So let me go on and tell you about what I have sensed:

I know that at the moment you ask yourself many different questions about many different things in your life. You also want to attain the goals you have set yourself and one of your preoccupations at the moment is your love life. You are asking yourself when and where you are going to meet the right man and whether or not this will be the perfect person for you because you often attracted the wrong kind of men. I can also see that older men are often attracted to you and as you search for someone in particular, these types of men do not fit the bill. In fact you are very exigent and I understand this, most notably you have no patience for men who are jealous or who lack confidence. Moreover, just to quickly describe a feeling which came to me while I wrote this, I can see that you still have deep within you (even if you are not always aware of it, it remains hidden inside of you) the memory of an important relationship in your past that did not work out. Concerning these other points, in your relationships with others in general you are sensitive to other people’s feelings, often put other people’s needs before your own (especially those of friends and family) and you get a great deal of satisfaction out of helping others.

As a matter of fact I have also strongly felt that you have an unusually strong intuition and being in touch with this power may be one of the reason why you are drawn to astrology readings. As a matter of fact there is a very strong aura around you and an energy that is truly powerful. I am sensing vibrations from you much more intense than those I experience with most clients. I can also see a great deal of qualities within you and notably you have a great deal of latent or unrealized potential. I can also see that you are sometimes frustrated with the fact that others don’t always recognize this however I think that the events which are soon set to occur for you are going to change all this.

We now need to get back to the importance of this Transit period in your life Cat and straight away I should warn you about one particular point. If you do not act in a very decisive manner concerning this period then it is extremely likely that all of these important opportunities will simply pass you by. This sounds simple, and it is. I can help and guide you (in fact I am 100% willing to help you because I feel so strongly that you can benefit greatly from the opportunities of this valuable period) however I need you to be active and open to change during this period. It is YOU who will sense the moments once they arrive, even though I can help you detect and identify them, and it is YOU who will seize them and turn your life around to take in the direction you want to see yourself going.

You now know that this Transit is a very rare event which will not come around again for a very long time to come, the configuration is only perfect for you during a relatively short timespan and it will allow you to take a new direction in your career thanks to this new job and meet someone who is going to change your life. To achieve this it is important that you find yourself in the right place and at the right time to take the right decisions and this is what I want to help you to do with this full, detailed Reading which I tell you about on the link:

(link not important)

I also need to warn you about something which I have already seen with certain other people who simply wait for events to occur. I must take a note of seriousness here because it is very important what I am going to tell you.

I know through my extensive professional experience that people who are aware that such a Transit will soon occur yet who sit by and do nothing about it (because they consider that they can guess which actions are needed and when), inevitably miss out on the full impact of the period. Waiting for events to happen is NOT the way to go, you must see why this is so true. You need a professional astrologer can read your Skies correctly to bring you the information you truly need concerning your Transit of 30 days because once you are armed with this kind of information you will be ready to act and change your life for the better. To sum up, Cat you need precise and deep knowledge of all of the implications of this Transit in order to get the very best out of it’s chances and opportunities.This Transit is too significant and too important not to try and get all chances over on your side.

I must mention that I am not the only professional who could help you. You may of course consult with someone a little closer to your home or with an astrologer you are already familiar with. This person should be able to help you in exactly the same manner as I would be able to. The most important thing is that you have the information you need and that you get this information very soon because the Transit will come along much sooner than you think.

However I want you to know that as far as I am concerned I am also 100% ready to help you Cat. I have told you about the details I can offer you; I have a wealth of important and exciting information to share with you and I can give you full details on the following points:

More precisely, In terms of your professional career I will tell you:

- why there have been certain stumbling blocks in your past and how this is now going to change
- when this job proposition will occur
- who is going to make it
- what this new job is
- how you can be sure not to miss out on it
- how it will change in the future
- how this will change your life financially
- what you can expect from your job in the average to long term


I will also let you know what will be the impact of this transit on your love life:

- why this period will be so important for you as far as your love-life is concerned
- when this encounter will take place
- where you will meet
- how the date will take place
- how you can recognise the right person
- how you can seduce this individual and start building something good together
- what this person will be like
- if this is really the love of your life
- what kind of future you can expect together


Here is again the web page where you can request my help, Cat. As soon as I receive your confirmation that you want me to work on your reading I can get straight to work on your complete analysis. On this same page I have also given you a link to some testimonials from other customers that I have also helped through my clairvoyance and astrology.

Here is the link: (again, not important)

Have a good day and speak to you soon,

Your friend and astrologer,

Jenna

“Friend and astrologer” what a line!  I’ve always had an interest in this jibberish but never really gave it any thought before.  And to much surprise, this reading is pretty accurate and dead on.  So, if all of these “Things” come true, you may be looking at the new employee of Americorps… but only if Jupiter is lined up with my ass.

dashboard confessional kind of mood

For some reason, around this time in the summer I become obsessed with Dashboard Confessional for a good couple days.  Maybe it’s because of the sunsets are later at night now.  Maybe it’s because the nights get cooler and require a hooded sweatshirt.  Maybe it’s because night drives always call for contemplation.

For whatever reason, I’m gonna pretend I’m in high school again for the next couple days.  I know you’re jealous, don’t lie.

now i feel a lot better…

So I wanted to tell you this today but I was a bit too emotional and probably would’ve started to bawl.. like I am now.. fucking PMS…

While I was dating ? I put you on the back burner and wasn’t a very good friend. Instead of calling you to catch up, I’d light up a bowl with ?. Instead of staying in Winona, I’d leave for the cities on weekends. It’s real sick to think drugs can do that to a person and I see it more and more everyday with ?. 

Please don’t ever let me do that to you again. Just because someone is in a relationship doesn’t mean they have to ditch their friends.

? hasn’t been a friend to me lately. I know I’m gossiping but I just want to give an example of something I don’t want to become.. ever. ? lies to the one person ? loves (significant other), ? hasn’t had a conversation with me unless it’s including pot, and ? is very selfish. I tried to talk to them about their school habits and drug thing and ? came back with “You’re just miserable because you broke up with ?, you have no job, and you’re terrible with money. It’s no surprise you’re trying to tell me what to do.” 

Please don’t ever let me talk to you like that. It’s a huge fucking slap in the face. And to be honest, whatever friendship ? and I have right now, it’s been shat on and is close to fading.

Please don’t ever let that happen. I couldn’t stand to lose you as a friend. I’m very thankful for your patience and understanding nature. Most of all, I’m thankful you actually give a fuck about me even when I’m being a cunt. So thanks for being there for me.. I feel like I say this to you at least twice a year lol but I seriously mean it.

Also, I know you wouldn’t do this but if you could keep this ? business between you and I, that’d be great.

Sat Jun 13

Yep.

I hate when I’m right.  It’s fun to be on the ball sometimes but not when you expected the worse.  Yep.

It’s gonna be one of those summers.  Awesome.
