It’s the best review anyone has ever written about any of my books.
If you want a copy of Time Magazine this week, you should probably go and get it now, because my mom is currently attempting to buy like every copy available on newsstands in America.
John Green’s mom sounds like the best mom ever. Besides my mom that is.

This kickstarter has almost tripled its goal and will soon be enough to cover the entire estimated cost of the project. Almost a third of the backers donated less than 15 and it has made a huge difference. Donate if you can.
What's that you say?
Oh! It’s 2 am and I should be sleeping? Weird. I thought I was supposed to just be laying here for hours in the dark. I guess I could try sleep, I don’t know if it’s really my thing though.

I've never been so wide awake in my life
I just want to go to bed, so I can actually get up for work tomorrow. And I’ve been really active all night. I worked all day. I read before trying to sleep to relax. And I’m laying here just bursting with energy. I really want to keep cleaning, but I know that will keep me up even longer. Bleh.
On the bright side my kitchen is really clean now.
A Monday
Let me recap today so far for you.
Turn off alarm
Sleep for way to long
Late late late for work
Work for 2.5 hours really hard and dedicated-like. As if I really cared about my job and my customers.
Get virtually nothing accomplished in that time despite #4
Decide to go home for lunch where there are leftovers and products to make my hair not look like bed head and netflix
Walk all the way...

I love my cube. I would be so upset if I got moved to a POD.
Job hunting is disheartening
anyone on tumblr want to hire me? I’m delightful. I promise!

The Fault in Our Stars
Finished it after work. Forgot to eat dinner. Really loved it. Need to digest it some more before I can really say anything else.
Also, I would like to say that today was excellent. Work was excellent. The book was excellent. Lunch was excellent. AND it is snowing. Excellent day was excellent.
Great news at work!
And a couple other things have happened to make me feel a little better about my mistake last week.
The news was just what I needed to remotivate myself. Feeling pretty good right now.

Want vs. need
I want to stay up and finish The Fault in Our Stars.
I need to go to freaking bed.
Compromising with one more chapter.

want vs. need
I want to go home and read The Fault in Our Stars all day.
I need to stay at work until 6pm.
Compromising by being at work, not really doing that much work and sneaking a few pages in at time when I can. I’m a bad employee today.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Really today? Really? That’s how you want to play it? Well, fuck you too.
Bad week is bad
and today is only going to get worse. Screwing up isn’t fun.

rosiesiman:
Working in the digital world, it’s hard to miss seeing the SOPA drama. Tweets, blog posts, news articles, petitions… It’s everywhere.
But I’m wondering if my friends who don’t work in the same industry have seen much about SOPA or how it could affect their lives. (Hi! Are you here friends?)
