Five Things I Will Be Very Excited to Purchase Once I Have A Job:

1.

A brand-new car!

2.

My own apartment

3.

Updated Rx glasses

4.

A match.com membership (because hope springs eternal)

5.

Writing classes at UCLA extension

You know, when I started this list, I thought I would have no trouble finding at least five things. But after the first three, I sort of had to reflect for a bit. But the whole match.com thing motivated me to ask your advice on photo selection. Tonight, I was wearing my Frankie Say Relax t-shirt because I felt crappy (boo, food allergies) and Ithought, hey! Good "humorous/wacky" photo op! The pics are below the cut, and I would LOVE your opinion on which you think is best. Keep in mind that this was taken with my dying camera (seriously, it's on it's last legs at this point) and I have been feeling sickly all day, so . . .I know those two things are happening. I will definitely take a better picture later. Thank you, friends list, as I think I'm pretty terrible at picking good pictures of myself.

Awww yeah, Villa Vicente. It'll be like a big slumber party.

(I voted for #1 but you know that)

VV just has to lower their prices a smidge and it would be made of win.

And I though about saying you were pro #1, but I didn't want to influence anyone else's decision. :)

Judging by the new 'NOW LEASING' signs on the property, I'd imagine they'd BETTER lower the prices.

I'm lovin' 3, but it was a toss up between 2 and 3. Man, I can't wait until I can afford my own place (although the way pricing has been skyrocketing here lately, I'll probably never own one!)

Oh yeah--I realized that I made it sound like I could buy an apt--and with our real estate market and the way it's looking to tank big time in the next couple of years, that's not on the agenda at all. I just want to rent one!

And thanks for your input! I like #3 myself, just because (as I told aoneal earlier) I feel like I have the Renee Zellweger scrunchface going on in #1.

I like #1 the best (and voted for it), but 3 is my second favorite, especially because it's a lot less blurry. But the personality really exudes in 1.

I know! It's too bad about #1. I went with #2, because it won the poll, even though #3 was my initial favorite. I am easily cowed by the opinions of others.

What a fun list... I've been thinking about the same thing. New car, new apartment (back in Lexington), a dog, some nice cookware, and... hm. I'll have to think about that last one. Because of course I'm tied to this list forever and ever.

I like your photos (I voted for #2)! You're so cute!

Aw, thank you! I hope you get your "new job" list of items soon! Especially the dog, as pets are awesome.

#3 makes you look shy. There's nothing wrong with #1 but I prefer #2.

Your reasoning for #3 was sound. I went with #2! Thanks for helping!

Exclamation points!!!

I just couldn't go with Renee Zellweger squint face. I think perhaps I am overly sensitive about that. #2 it was!

Are those Prada eyeglasses? I approve.

I voted for #3, but would've voted for #1 if it was clearer.

I liked #3, too! But everyone else liked #2, so I went with that, because I have no opinions of my own.

They ARE Prada eyeglasses! I was motivated primarily by you to finally admit those were the ones I wanted, and not another $80 optometrist's clearance special.

Those are definitely the Prada glasses that I have been obsessing over for A YEAR and still have not bought. Le sigh.

I am completely torn on the pictures. This is hard! You are so cute!
