July
5th
Happy
Birthday to me!!! This is going to be my year and I can really feel it. I
know I said that at New Year and I got dumped by Andy, fired from my job and
evicted from my apartment, but I think things will turn around. Irene is throwing
me birthday party it'll be a riot. I think I'll try white wine spritzers because
I don't want to drink too much.

It
took me all morning to identify that horrible smell, until I realized it was
me. It took me over an hour to make coffee because I couldn't remember how
to work the coffee scoop .
I
have a vivid recollection of offering to piggyback people to the washroom
and singing rounds of Row Row Your Boat. By myself.
The
rest of it is almost like a dream sequence with people's faces coming in and
out of focus. The alcohol had loosened my tongue so I was able to tell people
what I really felt about them. Which ranged from "I love you" to
"you think I don't know your game, but I do."
I remember helping Irene clean up and then I hopped in what I thought was
a cab but was actually her porch swing.
This
is going to be my year I can really feel it.

Why
do people have to take everything so seriously? One day you have all the friends
in the world and the next minute you owe someone a coffee table.
If Irene was so in love with her coffee table she probably shouldn't have
let me clean up-- it was my birthday after all. And if she values coffee tables
over friendship maybe next time she won't get a glass one.
I keep trying to phone her back to tell her I don't want to talk to her, but
she keeps hanging up.
She
is so strange.

My
mom phoned to wish me a Happy Birthday. I told her it was five days ago and
it didn't even phase her.
I'm
an only child, you'd think my birthday would stick out as it is the only day
that I know of that she spent 16 1/2 hours in excruciating pain.
The
worse news is that she is coming to visit as there is a meeting of her chapter
of Precious Moment Collectors.
I have four days to clean the apartment, get a job and if I have time, getting
engaged may not be a bad idea.
July 11
I
saw a job that is absolutely perfect for me. No experience, will train.
I have an interview tomorrow so I've been agonizing over my resume. I've adapted
it to suit so many job interviews that I can't even remember what's true anymore.
I think I can safely take out the part about para-sailing as I'm not really
sure what that is.
I
got my hair cut at Classico's. I didn't really mean to but I saw some salon
products on sale in the window and before I knew it an Italian gentleman had
led me to a chair.
The
woman who was cutting my hair was also having a fight with her boyfriend on
the phone. She'd go to the phone, yell at him in Italian and then come back
to my hair using the scissors as if they were hedge clippers and sighing heavily.
I wanted to tell her not to take to much off but every time I tried to the
phone would ring. At the end of it she held up the mirror. I look exactly
like Richard Lewis. Seventy Five Bucks!!! Seventy five bucks to be manhandled
and ignored!
I
was so furious, I almost didn't tip her.
I
think I'll go to bed about 5:30 p.m. so I'll be well rested for the interview
tomorrow.
I
wonder if it's too late to learn French.

New to Jenna's Diary?
You are probably thinking"Say, I'll never catch up, so there's no point starting now."
Well that's not true, Jenna can't follow a thought for more than a second so you won't be missing a thing. (And quite frankly that attitude is the reason you are not a neurosurgeon.)
