An Epic Fail

Ever do something and the exact moment you do it, you realize what you’ve done is not what you intended and at that same moment you can’t do a single thing to change it? This is a tail of an epic fail.

So Thursday night and two friends went to go see “The Last Song.” Can’t go wrong with a girls’ night out to see a Nicolas Sparks novel-turned-movie. The movie was all right, I would have absolutely loved it had they cast someone other starlet other than Miley Cyrus. Really, does she ever close her mouth? Anyway, that’s not the epic fail.

The epic fail happened when I got home and updated my gchat status to “crying headache” (yes, the movie made me cry that much). One friend, we’ll call him Simon, that has not always shown any real concern for me, asked me why I was crying. I told him why, minimal chitchat about the move that caused my crying headache, but that’s it.

I then wanted to express my… let’s say annoyance for lack of a better word, to my other friend who was also online at the time. I open up a new chat window and tell her how “Simon actually asked me why I was crying… since when does he care.” Cue epic fail – the moment I hit enter, I realized that everything I had said, was in fact, sent to my friend Simon.

This is how the conversation went:

me: Simon actually asked me why i was crying

what is that? since when does he care

Simon: ummm, so who are you chatting?

me: uh... yeah that was for emily

sorry

Simon: lol

me: i'm a jerk

haha

sorry

Simon: that's okay.... since when did you care?

stop crying

me: haha

i'll try

So even though it all ended well, a word of caution – check and double check text and IMs before sending.

As of late...

So I don't know what it is about blogging, but I always feel like in order to write, I need to have good news or something great that's been happening... but I don't. I have been wanting to get into writing again anyway, I think I miss it. Maybe I just miss talking and not caring who is listening…

So... like I said, I don't have much going on. I used to work for Cohn & Wolfe… needless to say, I'm not working anymore, which sucks a bit. But I have some leads on new jobs, but nothing has panned out yet. I actually nanny part time for Holly Hunter, yes the actress, which has interesting. She has twin boys that are 4... I used to think it would be cool to have twins - I don't think that anymore. They are great and I love them, but twins are a handful!

Other than the part time nannying gig, I look for jobs and try to figure out what I want to do with my life. I’ve been thinking about going back to school. My parents have offered (a couple of times) to pay for a Masters degree, but I have no idea what I want to get it in. Feel free to weigh in on the matter. It's kind of driving me crazy. I think I would eventually like to teach at some college someday.

Who knows though... just one more thing I have to figure out. Do you ever feel like you figured everything out, made this plan you were going to follow, and then everything goes off track. I totally thought I had things figured out since high school, I had this plan for my life... what do you do when you are nowhere near where you wanted to be?
