i am a copywriter. i got laid off a few months ago, and i am looking for a new, full-time job. in the meantime, i packed up the apartment i lived in for almost 7 years and moved back home. now i am living in brooklyn with my mom, and slowly going insane.

united states senator jim bunning from kentucky is a moron

i am so not politically-minded. i'm a democrat, but that's basically it. i don't know why, i'm just not. i can't even believe that i'm going to admit this, but i barely watch the news; i get my news from snippets on ny1. what they tell me is what i know.

today my mom told me that a republican senator is trying to block the unemployment benefits extension, which completely freaked me out because i'll be hitting my 4-month mark soon. and while i don't want to think like this, six months of being unemployed might not be far off so it's scary. and i'm one of the lucky ones because i'm back at home. but what about people who aren't so lucky? people with families and mortgages and god forbid medical bills.


i just need to keep telling myself that i'm going to be ok and that i will find a job soon. i really can't let my mind go to the thoughts of being unemployed for 6 months; i just need to keep telling myself that i'll get a job soon and everything will be ok. it's my mantra.
