I. Sometimes I think I should post to LJ, but I really have nothing to say because my life right now is beyond boring. I'm job hunting, which as I'm sure many of you know is basically the worst thing to ever do in the world. Since that's present tense, you can probably infer that I have no job, and you would be correct. So basically I have a lot of free time and nothing to do because I have no money, everything costs money, and most of my friends are real people with real jobs.
II. Last night despite the whole "no money" thing though a friend and I went to see Aziz Ansari's stand-up show, since he was in town. I'm not familiar with him outside of Parks & Rec, but he was very very funny. I was also pretty impressed because there was only one or two jokes that I thought were a bit off-colour and they weren't even that bad really -- especially compared to the woman who opened for him, where I spent half of her set sort of cringing. Anyway, if for whatever reason you have the opportunity to see the show and were considering it but not sure, I'd recommend it.
III. I understand that most weddings are going to be "destination" for someone because most people do not have family/friends all in the same city. When I was in a wedding last October, I had to get to Chicago, and while that was a bit of an expense for me, it was reasonable for most of the bride+groom's family and friends. So y'know, whatever, hazard of being a bridesmaid for someone you met on Neopets. I get it.
But here when I say "destination wedding" I mean "the fucking Caribbean". Does this sound beautiful? Yeah! Does it kind of suck to ask your guests to shell out ~$1,500 to attend your wedding? Well, yeah.
Anyway, the first deposit is due by the end of August so I guess I need to make a decision soon-ish. On one hand, these are some of my very best friends -- I've known the bride since grade nine, and I've known them as a couple their entire relationship (which is some time now). I would LOVE to go to their wedding. And possibly if point #1 wasn't an issue, and I knew I had a steady source of income and could take a week+ off work, that'd be great. As it stands, though, I don't know any of those things, so the prospect of this wedding just feels like a hassle.
IV. God this is a boring post full of information no one wants. Possibly more relevant: Karen and I are thinking of starting up
