Accomplishments

Things that I have learned over the last few months:

  • Applying liquid liner is not as hard as it looks.
  • Mooching of your parents is also not so hard, but not much of an accomplishment.
  • Making all of your friends become friends with one another and move in together up the street from you is a good idea in theory, but not in practice.
  • The water in New York makes my hair more healthy.
  • London is about four-thousand times better than the hellhole I currently reside in, and I really took living there for granted.
  • The Audi is the state car of Connecticut.
  • Speaking of Connecticut, they don't sell beer in gas stations there.
  • I might have hooked up with the guy that plays Cormac McLaggen in Harry Potter 6? Which was AWFUL by JK Rowling standards, by the way.
  • Having a baby is also probably more fun in theory than it is in practice.
  • Don't think I'm going to grad school anymore...
  • I want a gay Jamaican man to be my best friend.

That's about it, I guess.

The Chronicles of McFadden

Obviously I suck at blogging. Fortunately for me and the rest of the natural world though, I also suck at finding a job! Apparently the four months that I just spent in a foreign country in order to do some "resume building" and gain "good work experience" means nothing when the country is in a recession. So with literally the last dollar to my name in my wallet, I forge my way into the long, long summer ahead of me.

I'm anticipating serious mental drainage in the coming months, since I'll probably end up working at a newly opened Gap somewhere wondering where my bright future went. In order to combat this, I'm going to make an actual effort to keep this thing updated. It will keep me sane, and provide me with something solid to look back on when college is over and the years of heavy alcohol abuse have erased most of this time from my memory.

To be perfectly honest, I do some crazy shit unintentionally. And I think that other people would love to hear about it. So here you will find my daily itinerary, outfits, clever insights, attempts at job hunting, and amusing escapades. And if no one ends up reading this, I can probably repackage the blog as a fake journal like The Princess Diaries and maybe get a book deal.

I also have a secret dream to be a web star, so fingers crossed this endeavor goes well.
