Al Pacino as Sonny, from "Dog Day Afternoon." You like sexually confused men.

Which Unstable Man are you Most Attracted to?

I asked for less hours at my job so I could spend time with my mom and sister while they were here, so they cut my hours down. To one day a week.  I've been searching around a lot on the internet for jobs and looking through the newspaper classifieds, but haven't yet actually gone somewhere and given them my resume'.  I've been doing a lot of research about working as a wildfire lookout for the summer.  Pretty good pay, amazing amazing scenery and solitude.  In fact, so much solitude, I'm not sure... well, I was going to say I'm not sure if I could handle that much solitude.  Then I realized that a more accurate statement is that I can handle the solitude pretty well, but I'm not sure if my family can deal.  Not having a way of getting in touch with me whenever they feel like it.  I mentioned my interest in being a lookout to Grandma, and she gave me a look like Oh foolish child!  You don't really want to do something like that and she commenced to explaining to me that lookouts escape firey deaths by the skin of their teeth on a daily basis.  Sure, Grandma.  I bet if I was a guy she wouldn't tell me things like that.  She'd be like, Oh, brave, manly Aimee!  I'm so proud of you etc.!  (I'm in rich text mode, btw :B)

I'm not submitting to my overprotective family.  If I want to spend the summer in a little box on stilts on the top of a mountain peering through binoculars, I goddamn will.  Haha, I will admit there is the danger of being struck by lightning, but in every tower they have this stool you sit on that keeps you from getting electrocuted. 

I'm tentatively looking at summer backcountry firefighter jobs, too, but mostly just out of curiousity.  On the other side of the coin, I'm looking into working at this alternative hot springs retreat/ehm... nudist colony, doing housekeeping or kitchenwork or childcare if I'm lucky.  And I'm going to apply to the Backcountry Trails Program again this year.  Summer is going to be awesome.

So it turns out that I have a lot of college loans that I'm having to pay off.  ( Ach, might as well stick a cut tag here- )
