Pet Peeves

So Lyn and I talked about this the other day and since she doesn't have a blog, I'm claiming it =P

Something that really bugs me (when i say "me" i mean "us" but for the purposes of this blog being mine, its gonna be "me") is when you're with a group of people and you laugh at something you think is funny, and someone makes fun of your laugh. I can think of 2 specific times this has happened, One being this girl I barely met at a friend's birthday dinner and my roomate. What bugs me the most about this is something so small can really take me from a high to low in second and it's so immature on their end to do that in the first place.

Why do they do it? Attention is probably the biggest candidate and after thinking about those 2 times, it makes sense: the girl was trying to get attention the whole night since there were "prettier" girls at the table and she probably felt threatened and of course my roomate always craves attention (esp during those days).

How to deal with it? I honestly hate when someone does this and I always just stay quiet because I'd be afraid of what my come out of my mouth. We came down to a few solutions that would probably be better than yelling: open up a question (What? I thought it was funny, didn't you?), or look confused, or both. I prefer inappropriately laughing louder like what Peter would do in Family Guy. In fact, if it does happen again I think I will do that (see, told you I hated it)

Been a while

So here's an update on what Ive been doing: Playing wow, hanging out with Lyn, interviewing, and now I get to dance.

We had DSP auditions this past weekend and I'll be honest, I didn't care too much this time. We had an orientation the night before and realized that we weren't getting a ton of new faces like last time. And the people I knew who were trying out and could potentially make it, well, I know them already. I think the best part though was having new judges come in this time instead of the usual, plus they're mostly mindtricks so thats awesome right there. Hmm, but what I am looking forward to is our next performance at One 4 Gee in April. I missed the last show but now I get to be part of it so yea, that feels awesome.


As for the job hunting, its ok and that's better than most people. I get calls, I get in-person interviews, I get a lot of responses from my resume and all of the experience Ive gained from these past months doing all of that is def going to pay off. Will it be my dream job? Who knows but I'm sure i'll find something soon.
