You Kill Me
Craziness.
This past week or so has been jam-packed with stuff.
Last weekend I went home to babysit (not fun) but got to see Robin and Matty G and had a blast hanging out with them, as usual. Friday night was out of this world. I also got to go to McDonald's three times in one weekend so that the kids could get a different Happy Meal toy. I'm the best babysitter ever.
My dad totally revamped my resume and it's awesome. I'm sure I will have no problem getting some random government job now. Come on health insurance...
Thursday Aimee and her friend Brandon came up from VA Tech to see Jimmy Eat World and Taking Back Sunday here at JMU. The show was amazing!! (See above photos) I haven't jumped around and screamed that much at a concert since I saw the Offspring when I was sixteen. How JMU got hold of such a cool show I'll never understand, but I'm grateful just the same.
Yesterday I took the Foreign Service Exam for the State Department. Wow. That was the most random test I have ever taken. One question was "What is the capitol of Columbia?" and then the next question was like "What is the best way to fire an employee?" and then there was even one of those y=mx+b algebra questions. I was like... what?? I came home and said, "Dad! The test was so weird! One of the questions was 'what is the capitol of Columbia'!! Who knows what the capitol of Columbia is?!"
Dad looked at me and said, "It's Bogota."
Awww crap!!!!!!!
Yeah, so we'll see how that went. Ugggggggh.
Yesterday was also Heather's birthday!!! Yay 22! Heather, Robin, and I hit up Richmond, hard. We paid a pizza delivery guy ten bucks to drive us to some crappy party from some crappy bar and we even ran into some crappy people from high school! Heather knows every damn person in Richmond so that made it cheaper to get drinks and everything and we got soooo wasted. Except for throwing up Mexican food at 5am and Heather's cat attacking my feet every ten minutes, it was a great night. Full of laughs. I love my girls so much!!
Speaking of girls, last week Erin asked me to be a bridesmaid in her wedding! How exciting is that?? My first real bridesmaid job ever! We are going to have so much fun planning this shindig. Oh, and FYI Erin and the rest of us bridesmaids: My mom already called dibs on hosting the bridal shower.
And so it is.

...the tail of your kite
Last Wednesday I saw Tori in concert. My fourth show and as amazing as usual. You can't go wrong with Tori. You just can't. I cried. Not that that's a big deal because I always cry, but you know. Very moving stuff.
Except for this stupid guy sitting next to me who thought the concert was a sing-a-long. Tori concerts are NOT sing-a-longs. I did not pay 60 bucks to hear you sing, buddy. Shut the hell up. I shot him a few evil stares and he got the point. Dumbass.
Anyway. Graduation is looming. I'm sticking around here for the summer to take some classes, so I'm kind of behind on the whole finding a job thing. That and I'm lazy. Though, this amazing weather has lifted my spirits some. I have been more productive than usual.
I've sent my resume out to numerous places in DC and New York City and have heard nothing. It's a little discouraging. I did receive a phone call from this company in Midtown Manhattan that told me to resubmit my resume when I was done with summer classes. So.. who knows... maybe Kerry is moving to the big city? (isn't it awesome that I just referred to myself in the third person?!) But I'll probably be in DC before I'm anywhere else. I actually found an apartment before I found the job to pay for it. Awesome.
I just want to be on my own, have my little white dog and my tiny 250 square foot studio apartment and my 9-5 at some government agency and live, you know? Do some soul searching. I want credit cards and bills and health insurance.
I want a real life!!!!!
