Where are my KEYS!

So yeah, last couple days… Lets see, tonight I hung out with JonJon and we all watched QaF and had a good time. Then I couldn’t find my keys when it came time to go to work. That was hellish. I was freaken out! It was scary shit.

My aunt sent me cookies! Yay. They are practically gone already. So yummy though! I called and talked to her for a while too. I guess the Aunt/Uncle people in PD complained to her about my not coming and visitint hem or something. So tomorrow/Today she’s going to e-mail me thier e-mail so that ican email them and find out when I can go out there. though both JonJon and Andrew want to go with me when I go, so I dunno how that’s going to work. I’ll probably just have to take two trips out there. We’ll see. The aunt told lots of funny stories though. It was great.

And since I don’t think I mentioned it yet, but the othe rnight my mother called me and was like. ‘Yeah don’t call/email me at work anymore, cause I don’t work there”…. Yeah, my mother just randomly up and quit her job. What a crazy! So who knows what’s going on with that shiz. She’s e-mailed me three times though in the last few days.. All of them very random…IE:

“Hay there; hows things going? Ms unemployed is having a good time so far. Dumped a bunch of money I didn’t have on a laptop. You’ll be proud to know that I got the ATT account loaded on it (I know, you’d do it in your sleep but for me it’s a small success!) F’ked up the loading of the MS office software. Got to call Billy and his boys on Monday to find out why the registration process isn’t accepting the product key information. I even got the thing password protected upon boot up! What a wild woman! “

And

“Do you have any old papers on the Holocaust? Do you remember the window in your old room that kept fogging over when it got hot? well, the other day when we came home the glass was just hanging by the top and side walls of the casing, the bottom fell out! Great to have a new house. We’re replacing that one window for $500! Keep in touch, I now have more time to talk, or is it e-mail withdrawal? “

And My Fav of all cause it’s so random:

“What is the purpose behind our suffering?

*To develop character. Suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and out of character comes hope. Hope is inside our hearts.

*To get our attention. Suffering is not vindictiveness, but instead perhaps there is an area of our lives that we’ve been unwilling to open up. This is a tool to get our attention to listen to others.

It never hurts to say your sorry, but when you do MEAN IT! Remember, NO ONE is perfect.”

Whatever, she’s crazy!

I’ve been going through and replying to a bunch of e-mails tonight too that I’ve been neglecting. Such as those three from her, and once from the G&G and one from Sara and I wrote big ass one to Barb and Nazanin. I hope they write me back!

Not too much exciting stuff has really been happening to me lately. Haven’t been up to LB in a couple weeks and that’s a bit sad.

Ty got a new kitchen table and I hate it. It’s really ugly and out of place. But whatever he likes, it is his place. I think him and Chris are having some problems too, but who knows. I’m hardly ever there anymore anyways.

I think I might see if JonJon and Andrew and to meet up tomorrow and watch a movie together. I feel like I’m arranging the meeting of North and South Korea or something. lol. It’s wierd. But I think it’s time they met and stuff.

Umm. IOWA! I wanna go back! ::whines::

I’ve begun changing my passwords on everything too… Too many people know my current password.

Stupid Roomie

Ok, I HATE my roomie right now.

Those two have had the pass for like 2 weeks now.

Tonight I come home and need a spot to park, and Ty has the pass in HIS CAR which is parked IN THE STRUCTURE where he doesn’t need to have the pass.

It’s like HELLO, if you HAVE the fucking pass you should NEVER park in the fucking parking spot. Fucking whore. then he acted all annoyed when I asked him to go out to his car and get it. Grrr.

In good news, Nikki is going to be in Iowa the same time that I’m in Iowa. So that’s WAY exciting for me! Woot!

Anyways, laters all.

SuperSize THIS

Today was lots of fun. Got up about 2:30, 3ish and JonJon came over. We headed up to Chapman area to hit the pawn shops.

Did that for a while and no one would pay good money for his swords. Which are REALLY cool looking. He decided that he didn’t want to sell them, but I told him that if he ever needed any money again, that I’d buy them from him. So that’s cool. 🙂 Though I would have to do some research on them to find out about them before I shell out too much for them.

Anyways, did that for a while and then hit dinner cause neither of us had eaten all day. So we were starving.

After dinner we hit some stores around Old Towne Orange and found some really cool shit. Nothing was purchased though. After that we hit up the Main Place mall for a bit and then finally headed over to the movie. SuperSizeME!

Such a great fucking movie. Everyone should go and check it out. Though I doubt you’ll be able to find it playing anywhere anymore. It’s coming out on DVD in September though. 🙂

After the movie I called Andrew a few times so that those two could finally meet. But he never answered his phone. I didn’t realize his class didn’t get out tell 9:50. I thought he had said 9:30. Oh well. 🙁

Anyways, JonJon and I headed back to my apartment area when he decided he was hungry. So we stopped into Dennys. There were only TWO people working in the entire fucking place… Serving that is, I assume there were people working in the kitchen as well. 😛 Anyways, we got seated next to this really stupid group of people, though one of them was hot.

Well this group told the waiter that one of them was diabetic and then the waiter was being snappy back at them cause the guy was saying it just to be a jackass and the whole table was being mean and shit. And then the boy got mean back and yeah. It was just really stupid. But then like 10 minutes later he was re-telling the story to that table. It’s like, “HELLO! You were all sitting there when it happened, why are you retelling it” and he didn’t even retell what happened correct.

So we got out of there pretty fast and then went back to my place where I saw the roomie for the first time in forever. Anyways, he was like…. I haven’t charged you for utils in like 2 months. I was like, great!

Why the hell can’t he just charge Chris for the utils? And I’ll pay rent. Or if anything we should fucking split them 3 ways. I mean Chris uses more fucking utilities then anyone else. It’s very annoying. So yeah, that’s $300 down the drain.

Plus I’ve bought some expensive presents for people lately. One of which I might have to return now. 🙁 Stupid Ex’s giving the person the same gift two weeks ago and that person not telling me about it. 😛 We’ll see what comes of it. I don’t really want to have to return it.

My car is paid off NEXT MONTH! Yay!

I called my financial addvisor the other day and actually got to talk to him for once. Usually I just left messages asking questions and then he’d call back and leave a message. But for once we actually talked and he was very surprised by my debt-freeness and the amount of assests I have for someone being right out of college. 🙂

He did advise me to get some good tax write offs before the end of the year though because otherwise I’m going to end up paying a ton of money in taxes. 🙁 I’ll have to call him back to find out what I can write off and what not.

Lets see, what else is going on.

Not much really. I’ve been feeling a little disconnected from Iowa lately. I haven’t talked to the PU’s or the Gma in forever. I also feel as though I should call the GmaSibbel too, but who knows. I’d probably call her and she’d be like… “Chris Who” lol

Lets see, what else?

Um, nothing.

Off to have sex with my iPod..

Laters all.
