So it's really bothering me that my blog count is "stuck" at 254 even though I have a few more than that. Yes, it's a small problem. Anyway. I just put on some streaming classical music as a backdrop to my blogging.
So, what's been up? No money is what's been up. Just to recap. I still have no job...not one in sight...well, I sent an e-mail to my old both and she said that she'd generously try to help me out. If nothing pans out in the coming days (yeah, to me, like in the coming hours???), she would talk to some people to see if they can hire me back for the internship. Gotta tell ya, networking is key in the real world huh? It's all about favors and returning favors I guess.
And now, to the money thing. I think I'm going to have to do weekly house rent to Chris' parents, since I don't really have money for a whole month. Hopefully I'll have everything sorted out by the next 2 weeks, tops. So, and then yesterday I have a flat...great. I went today to Discount Tire to get 4 new tires...the CHEAPEST ones they had. $30 a tire. Now, I probably didn't need to get all 4 changed, since I don't really care if my tires are bald. Hell, if you think about it, in the summer, bald = more traction! :) Anyway, $120 for the tires and all these installation fees, taxes, blah, blah adds up and the 'real' total is $180...great. My credit card is at $1700 of the possible $1800...woot for me! I'm fucked!
I just want to get my internship done with so I can just find a job, any job. Going off on a tangent, I took off the hubcaps to my car and dabbed a little spray paint action to the rims...I think they look better...or maybe it's worse? Hell I don't know. I just like change, whether it's good or bad. I don't think I can ever live with at least SOMETHING in my life changing constantly (of course, besides Laura, lol). I changed my room a couple of days ago too. Now my small room is my office and the big room, which is quite empty, is my bedroom. It's weird, though, that something has to change or I get REALLY bored. The next thing? Who knows.
I've been wanting to sell my laptop too, so I can build a good desktop to play games on. Tough to find people to buy it, though. We'll see what happens in the next few months. I would like to ideally keep my laptop AND have a new desktop. I planned out what I'm going to get and it comes to about $550 for a nice, high-end desktop. Not too bad. I walked into Computer Renaissance the other day to check out their computers...man are they overpriced! I mean, there was a computer almost exactly like the one I'm going to make, just that mine actually has more RAM and a better video card and theirs was priced at $899...and then I was like, maybe I should just make computers and sell them. Worth it to me. Buy parts for $550, sell it for $650, make a $100 to do something fun and productive.
Well, that's it for now...I don't have any more news to shed...HOPEFULLY I'll have some job news soon.
Oh yeah, Wednesday I have a dentist's appointment to fix my chipped fillings/tooth...and I hope to god that I don't have to get a root canal...not for pain's sake, but for money's sake!
