So it turns out comments work, just not with IE. So, imaginary readers, feel free to comment if you have a cool browser. And FYI, I just got Mozilla Firefox (click here to download) and it rules; it’s the coolest browser ever.

???You???d make an awesome terrorist???
Last night I went a-drinkin with some random boys, one of whom I’d actually met and was trying to possibly nudge me in a better direction professionally, so we were all kind of bullshitting and chitchatting about the ideal job yada yada and somehow the conversation turned to security profiling at border crossings and airports… Continue reading ???You???d make an awesome terrorist???
O Lords of Blogland, why do ye seek to punish me so?
Okay, so… it’s been nearly a month now, and the following things are still FAR from blogtastic: ??1)?? The comments function only works for ME and BLOGTASTIC ADMINISTRATOR(S).??

I even had an interview once, but it turned out they’d never actually read my r??sum?? and I was completely not-qualified… Continue reading google in pig latin!

Maaaan…. right back into the busy swing of things, I am.?? Yikes.?? But in a good way – the trip down to Salem was awesome.?? I am so jealous of my parents’ new house!?? Well, except that they *do* have to live in Salem, so I guess that kind of explains it.?? But still, an… Continue reading quadruple-booked and it???s only monday!
