mini-rant. you don’t have to read.

I am so broke right now. I have never really been this broke. I have exactly $24.60 available to spend, and that’s pretty pathetic. The ice cream business is slow right now, so I’m only working one shift a week. That’ll make my next paycheck worth sixtyish dollars. Luckily, the trip for New York is all payed for, but how Jessica and I will manage to go out while in ny is beyond me. Melissa and William make more money than us, so for them it is not too much of a problem, but seriously. Going out to dinner, seeing a show, going to a club, sightseeing… it all obviously costs money, and cab rides to get home cost even more money. Food I am not too worried about. Cheap food is easy enough to come by, I could survive on $10 a week, and the free breakfasts at the hotel helps. It’s just the entertainment aspect that is bugging me out a bit.

This is all not to mention that my Christmas shopping has not begun yet. Gahhhh. And I still need a suitcase.

I have a lot to do between now and the end of finals. Plenty of papers, presentations, studying, and all of that. I’ve pretty much finished my anthropology paper, but I still need to do a presentation for that. I already did a presentation for my physical geography class, but now I need to write a paper on the same topic. I need to learn a piece of music, draw the circle of fifths, and a bunch of other easy stuff for piano. An essay needs to be written about internet safety for english. A paper needs to be done for political science. Should be interesting to see how the next 2 weeks go, yes. And I need to start Christmas shopping. And I need to finish shopping for New York. And a suitcase needs to be purchased (anybody have a large suitcase they could lend me?). Oh, and packing should probably take place at some point too.

Things are better now, a mess occured near the beginning of the week, but ehhh discussions are a part of every healthy relationship. I used to have a friendship where we NEVER had a fight and never talked about problems we were having, and now we’re pretty much as un-best friended as you can be. Anyway, that friendship went on for many of the significant years of my life so far, so it can be hard to get used to having a functional relationship. Yes, I know I make it all SO much more complicated than it ought to be! But it’s okay, tomorrow Nate’s going to come over, we’re going to listen to mxpx, put up Christmas decorations, help each other with some “tasks” (mentioning homework kind of kills the feeling of sweetness, but yes we’ll study for a while), and then it’s time to go out for dinner! Woo.

I don’t think I’ll be working at It’s a Grind afterall. They got a new manager who doesn’t like the hours I have available. No fun. But Cold Stones is being kind of pathetic. I mean, I worked on thursday and it was actually real cool, but my last paycheck was only twenty something dollars, and that is pretty sad. Then again, you have to take into consideration that I gave some shifts away, and I took the week of thanksgiving off. Ahhh I suck. But yeah, I’m taking on a LOT of hard classes for next semester, so maybe this one or two shift a week thing can work for me. Who needs money when you have a Nate? Just kidding. Sort of.

Anyway, I have little bits of pieces of information available for four of you guys, so here goes:

Uhhh first of all, any thoughts on what you guys want for Christmas? Please remember, my last paycheck was only $24, so if you were wanting like a pack of gum or something… that works. Just kidding about thatness (sort of), but I haven’t gotten to talk to you guys much, so let me know if anything comes to mind. My plan is to actually give away the gifts I buy this year. I still have all of last year’s presents stuck in my closet. I’m a terrible personnnnn. Jes.

So the other day I was crossing the street (as a pedestrian), when a car started to turn in front of me. It was pretty annoying, so I was getting ready to give the driver a look or something, and then I realized that the girl was driving one of the cars that NFG made for the civic tour the year we went. I still gave her a look, but I thought it was pretty funny that I actually saw one of those being driven around still decked out in its NFG glory. I would have painted it black. Yes. Anyway, it reminded me of our first concert together, so I thought I’d let you guys know =)

Your dance moves and your taste in music are proving more and more to me that you truly do have some blackness in you =) Just kidding. We were retards on wednesday, and your soup was smelly. But at least we can both handle picking checks up off of the ground.

Anyway. You are going to think that I am completely trying to trick you or something, but your beloved ADAM BRODY is going to start appearing on Gilmore Girls this week. I don’t actually know what specific day, but I know it is this week. He’s a guitarist or singer or something in a band. Shoullllld be good! He won’t be on the series forever, but he has lots of episodes in season 3, and season 3 started yesterday. Yes. If you dont believe me… “His television credits quickly grew to include a recurring role as ‘Dave’ in ‘Gilmore Girls’” (http://www.fox.com/oc/home.htm). You have to click on bios, then on seth, and make sure you click on “actor” not “character.” Yep. So you you have a reason to be bush at 5 everyday! Bye moodsters!
p.s. did you get that email?

Hope you made it to your car okay, one day I’ll try to convince my mom that she doesn’t need to walk me as I walk you to your car. I’m excited to hang out for a while tomorrow.

Goodnight everybody!
