The good kind of mediocre...
Mar. 21st, 2002 02:02 amToday was a good day...it makes me very wary. WHEN WILL THE GOODNESS END?! And how bad will it be. Cynical? Me? Noooo.
I stayed up unitl 5am last night transferring files from one box to another, then decided to sleep for 4 hours...it ended up being 6 so I had to rush to finish the tranferring and hurry over to work to drop off the computer. (I sold it to a co-worker for $300.00) I'm using this money to buy a ticket home and buy groceries, gas, etc. I was then late to class, but only by 20 minutes and it's a 3 hour class. It was rather boring today as people in my class can't seem to wrap their heads around the difference between "theme" and "subject".
After class, I tried to call aye, but my cell phone is fucked because I dropped it. So I decided to go to the mall to pick up an application for Brentano's and get some pants from Express. I not only got 2 pairs of pants, but I bought a kickass dress that actually fits...it's been probably a year since I've been able to buy a dress at Express. It was nice not to be COMPLETELY depressed after trying on clothes. I then went to the Discovery Channel store (because it's the bomb, yo) and bought a tiny little radio that I've been wanting. I'm going to use it for when I take walks. It was only $8 and it's purple metallic.
I then went to Ross because I was in dire need of more bras. I now have more bras than I've had in a looooong time. I found four and they all kick your ass. I love my bras, brah! I got a sparkly blue one that matches my hair, a reeeeallly comfy and pretty black one, another black one, and a shimmery dark red one. Awwww ye-uh. I also bought 2 new pairs of shoes because by god, I needed shoes. I am wearing a t-shirt, undies, and a pair of my new high-heeled shoes now. Why, I don't know...because they're cool I guess. I also bought some candles for a friend who's going through a rough time. They're frogs, and I'm told she likes frogs. :)
Things were going so well. I was not OVER-spending and I was finding what I needed. This could not last. So I went to the grocery store, as I haven't been in a long time.
I got lots of good food, not junk food, and saved $30 off the original $90 with coupons and selective buying. I am the master of grocery shopping, yo.
I am now scared that I spent too much today, but I don't think I did. I'm buying the plane ticket tomorrow and I don't think bills are bogging me down this pay period. I have to write THREE angry letters. COUNT THEM! Three! One to our neighbors who consistently ash their cigarettes out over their balcony, DIRECTLY onto our cars. (Okay, that one's not really going to be "angry" per se) Then another to Columbia House Video Club, because they suck ass and sent me a threatening letter for no reason. Then another one to PacBell, because they are the masters of suck and are trying to charge me $60.00 for a repair call made in December of last year. I have to do my taxes, make my resume and fax it to the places I found on LAtimes.com. I have to fill out my FAFSA forms. I have to catch up on 3 weeks worth of writing workshop assignments, because I've been slacking and I have packages to make/mail, and tons of email and correspondence to catch up on. Not to mention I want to see Loco soon and I need to go to Vegas to see Susan & Co.. Good thing I am now officially on Spring Break. pfff. But I organized and cleaned my room a bit and the old computer is gone so there is more space. That, and Staci and I are getting along better than we have in probably 8 months.
And I gotta tell ya, I'm scared. Because I know this boring, everything-going-well phase will end soon, perhaps in an explosion of shit, perhaps tomorrow...and it's making me a little gunshy.
Yea, pfft

Mother eVol
I know the feeling.
Date: 2002-03-21 03:03 pm (UTC)I like shopping when things go well. I hate shopping when I can't find clothes that fit or everything is unaffordable.
Resume? Are you leaving DHD? Before or after Martha goes to Australia? How is DanniCash and the Auction stuff going? Good, I hope. Which Brentano's did you get a resume from?
Enjoy your spring break!
P.S. If the candles are for Amanda, she does like frogs. ;)
