Hysteria's blog

Okay...I know Sue, I know Mark, and I know their friends. Above all I'm a little bit desperate.

See, I'm trying to get a web site up. I started by going the bare-bones route, by designing a page on Microsoft Word. It was simple and it worked.

My left hand has seen better days, due to a chance encounter with a grater. I'm kind of big on hash browns, you see, and the way one makes hash browns is to grate them.

However, my hash browns are different. I leave the skin on the potatoes, which is healthier. More vitamins and minerals, you see.

The problem, though, is this--potato skins don't grate well. They stick. Which is a huge problem when you get right down to the last quarter or so. Which leads to the chance encounter with the grater.

I'm writing this in a little apartment in Rochester, and I'm feeling restless. I'm not quite sure what brought it on.

There are a few reasons I feel restless, from a job that "I have a pretty good shot at getting," according to the recruiter, to some very pointed questions asked by my brother about just what I am doing with my life, to the fact that one major client dried up and I'm left free-falling a bit. Most of those are negative, except for the aforementioned job, which leaves me feeling extremely hopeful and more nervous the more days I go without hearing from the recruiter.

Today's been a good day for a number of reasons, which makes me happy. I think the primary reason is that I spent a couple hours research jobs that I'd love to be a part of. It's a nice feeling, sending out cover letters and applications, and being able to dream that this, this is a job you'd be proud to do.

Hey there. This is Chris, known to VOXers everywhere as Psychotron. I'm a freelance writer, currently operating in full "starving artist" mode, and living for the present in Rochester, Minnesota. I'm pretty much a full-fledged geek, and still getting used to the idea that you can say it without it being a bad thing. :D

Anyway, nice place. I think I'll throw a few thoughts into the blogosphere. :D Expect thoughts about anything and everything.

Chris
