All hail the Queen of Free Time.

I am bored blog world. Almost two weeks ago, I graduated college and moved back home for good. I have no job, and probably won't have one until July (if I'm lucky). I'm living off of graduation money. The weather is all gloomy, and the humidity is killing my hair. The "friend" I've been seeing on and off since January ditched me for some skanky 19 year old girl (8 years his junior). Can you just taste the bitterness there?

I need the blog world at this moment. I need to vent. I need to be distracted from everything that hasn't turned out the way I wanted in recent weeks. I need to be happy again. I need to bake cupcakes. Cupcakes solve everything.

I also need a place to discuss my dive into the online dating world. That is my bright shiny spot right now.

So I'm back. I apologize for my current depressing gloominess. Where's Rainbow Brite when you need her?

Not so unfamiliar.

So...., I'm back. Call me Gertrude or Sara, whichever you prefer. I just didn't feel comfortable putting everything out there while attached to my full name. As an afterthought, having my last name as part of my blog name seemed a little too bold. I've just decided that I needed a little more anonymity. I might actually delete that blog soon. A few choice posts might end up back here. For some reason I really wanted to try out blogger anyway.

Not to mention, I know that somebody I know in the 'real world' was still reading my blog (Thanks StatCounter!). Nothing entirely wrong with that, I don't talk about anything too horrible, but I just couldn't feel free knowing someone I knew was reading and not saying anything. So here is my effort to dodge that person.

100.

Geez, Could this have taken any longer? I can’t believe this was almost an all day project. Well, that is except for 3 hours of the day when I was driving from school to home and got a speeding ticket. Boo.
