I'm watching the Bush/Blair/Aznar press conference right now and I realize how much I miss being completely into politics. I should have been a poli sci major... my grades would have been better and I might be working at Deloitte & Touche right now working my way up the corporate ladder. Wow. My life right now is totally NOT how I imagined. I thought I'd be working my ass off at a Big 5 (Big 4 now) accounting firm, traveling to cities (company paid) doing audits... With the Deloitte job, I would've met my husband through my job and we'd be set because both of us are making enough to live a nice comfortable life. I always imagined myself with a guy who wore business suits to work everyday and was just overall confident and powerful, but then again, I'm sure everyone does. (Girls at least... maybe some guys too - heehee). Debbie is living the life I want!! She works at Deloitte Tax (was at Arthur Andersen Tax until all that shit hit the fan), got married last December to the guy she met in college - they're both mega-successful. She's a year younger than me and she has it all already! She's the sweetest person too - she deserves it all.

Tony Blair is awesome. So articulate! I think Bush & Co. know a lot more than they're telling us... don't want to make a whole country panic - that'll create too much chaos. Besides, Saddam had 12 years to disarm and its not like he's going to do it voluntarily any day now. I was driving home the other night and it hit me... Dante is totally like Saddam - you shouldn't believe any shit he says because time and time again, he's lying and when he's caught in the lie, he'll make up another lie.

The last time I was this into politics was back in fall 2000. I took an Intro to American Politics class that quarter and it was so interesting to have that class during the presidential campaign, the election and the subsequent recounts. (George P. Bush, the president's nephew is amazing... my dream politics man). I knew everything going on everyday - watched every debate, understood the electoral college, knew the merits of every lawsuit, every recount and every Supreme Court decision, EVERYTHING! We talked about it in class every Tuesday/Thursday (I think) and I was a total expert. The only other classes I was that into were History of American Motion Picture and Business Law.

I cleaned my room up a little bit yesterday... There were a ton of cables just tangled up under my bed and I couldn't do too much about it but it looks a little neater now. I also tried to fix the under the desk keyboard drawer (Dante broke it a couple months ago) just to get the keyboard off my desk so I can have more desk area. I don't know if its the cheap table or what but I just know he's going to break it again an hour after he gets on the computer, so the keyboard is back on the desk now. I need a man around to fix things, not to break them. I'm more handy than most girls because I learned early that if you want something done, you gotta do it yourself. I've got the most useless boyfriend/ex-boyfriend (whatever he is) in the world. I put together ALL the furniture in this apartment myself and I even put together Eileen's furniture to help her out. I can't even count on Dante to put the cap back on the toothpaste!! Ooooh, I just thought of the best boyfriend in the world... Either Ty Pennington, the carpenter on Trading Spaces or Andrew Dan-Jumbo, the carpenter on While You Were Out... both cute and resourceful :).

I need a tan badly... and I need to go to the gym (it's March 16, so only 15 more days left to keep my New Years resolution - gym at least once per month) because I can pinch an inch of fat around my stomach/waist area. Not too noticeable but still, it bugs. Will someone go to the beach with me?? Steve?? I'll take my chances that you'll blind everyone there with your whiteness cause I want to go so bad.
