It's 3am and I'm awake, again. I need a job. I keep telling myself that this is the kind of desperation I need. It's the type of desperation that wraps its icy fingers around my heart in the middle of the night and squeezes me...

EtherealEnigma Thanks for the encouragement everyone! It was really nice to wake up to kind words. I've been studying and teaching myself new skills in addition to the one I learned in college. The public library also has wonderful classes... for free! One thing that has...

I have worked in food and beverage off and on for almost nine years. Nine long, but mostly pleasant, years. I remember when I first started out: I was all smiles and genuine, "How are you doing today?"s. But then, some rude person...

EtherealEnigma Thanks for your comment. I agree with you; the job has its ups and down, but it really is nice meeting a lot of people from different walks of life. It also helps to teach people how to "juggle" in life. A lot of people think that servers are solely waiting on...

EtherealEnigma Absolutely! People have to cry at some point and we're all people. But, I must admit that I'm not really a fan of anyone crying unless it's something really serious. Even then, I'm like, "Cry. Cry. So, how are we going to solve this?" I may be a weirdo, but...

EtherealEnigma I consider myself pleasant company, but with my genes I'm going to live a long time (naturally, anyway). There is no way I'd live a long life alone. I would definitely save space for my good friends and family members. I might even bring someone along to...

Have you seen the parents who are holding onto a strap that is attached to their kids so they cannot run away? They can either be strapped around their wrist or connected to a backpack. When I was a kid, my mother used one of...

EtherealEnigma My cousins were leashed and I will not let them live it down! :o) However, we did grow up in a time when the problem of kidnapping was constantly in the media's eyes(80s). I think it may have been a shock to some parents. I don't think badly of parents who...

EtherealEnigma I'm guilty of gorging on delicious food, too. I try to eat in moderation, but every once in a while I let go and enjoy myself. I usually make up for it on the treadmill or elliptical machine. What's done is done, at least you enjoyed yourself!

EtherealEnigma I'm very curious! I think curiosity is important in life. It's important to ask questions and search for answers until the you reach the end of your question's trail. Of course, there are exceptions to every rule and people should be respectful of boundaries...

Hey Mylotters, good day. Recently, about a week ago, my friend, whom I know for only about 5 months, asked me for money as his electricity was going to be cut off the next day. This was the second time he asked me for money. I...

EtherealEnigma Some of my friends and I loan each other money every once in a while, but we have all been friends for over ten years. The saying, "One hand washes the other," springs to mind, but it sounds like you honestly don't have the money to loan him. I believe that a...

EtherealEnigma Interesting topic. While on campus, I turned into the "resident feminist". I have no idea how this happened. Like you, I also feel that the Women's Liberation was about choices. It would seem as if the goals of children constantly change with each stage. I...

EtherealEnigma This is precisely what I do! I do it because I want to know how people interact with strangers. If a guy that I'm out on a date with is rude to the server or bartender, I make a mental note to ask for separate checks once dinner is over. I wouldn't necessarily...

EtherealEnigma I think that a lot of these people feel hopeless. Their actions follow the line of thinking that assumes life is what it is and there is nothing that they can do about it. I feel that these people don't grab onto the horns of their own life and control it...

I have plenty of regrets in life, (like I SHOULD HAVE NOT DONE or SHOULD HAVE DONE THESE), but all were fully compensated with. I do believe that things happened for a purpose and with that I no longer ponder on the "IF ONLYs"....

EtherealEnigma I think about that every once in a while, only my question is the opposite of yours. I decided not to get married after college. Every once in a while, I wonder what would have happened if I had gotten married instead. But, then I look back at that...

EtherealEnigma Oh, yes! Any time I stay up too late or wake up too early my body craves an extra meal. I try to ignore it, but whenever I ignore it I end up wanting something huge and sweet much later. If I know I'm going to be up late, I try to pick up some light caramel...

EtherealEnigma I used to dislike pizza, but that's about it. I probably shouldn't admit this, but I am like the human garbage disposal in my family! Typically, I prefer to be called an "adventurous eater", but the truth is I will eat just about anything once (and maybe even...
