nothing new... really....
so they want me to work more hours...i can try to arrange that! i need more cash. i've been researching digital cameras a lot, but i'm still afraid i'll make the wrong choice or it'll break or something... oh whatever.. i've been an internet freak for soooo long.. people have started to comment how i'm always on my laptop. lately i've just been checking out ebay, journal, review sites, etc... i haven't even started downloading music... which i've been dying to do. but i've been dying to do a lot of things.. paint.. blah blah blah...
so here's the boring stuff...
friday was in this order -- class, work, dance, home, boba, nothing.
today (sat) was a little bit more exciting.. woke up to call all the walmarts looking for a discontinued camera, the olympus c-2100. then went to the track meet with elaine, yay! we both thought it was so exciting.. stuff always happening... i did see a few people i had only met a few times, namely the pink place residents, but i didn't say hello b/c i didn't think they remembered me all too well... after the sun started to disappear it became extremely jean cutting cold. after the track meet, jackie and corazon called and i met them at shelley's dance store... i finally decided on black ruffled bloomers and these really, really comfortable black character shoes that were at a really great price. as i was walking back to my car at six i climbed into the driver's seat to find the most dreaded feeling... i had a parking ticket. it always sucks when that happens... you know, the feeling that this was preventable... i clearly recall trying to figure out how many coins i should put into the meter and boy did i make the wrong choice! shelley's even had free parking in the back... anyhoo, i started the car feeling like shit so i decided to get one of those mcdonald's soft serve cones only b/c it's hard to drive and eat their chocolate sundaes at the same time.(drool droool drool) i wanted to take a long drive... i was a bit out of the loop at this moment and actually i was a bit stirred up by something one of my roommates had said.. but you can read on about that below *** so i finally decided against a drive.. gasoline prices are exponentially increasing, i have to pay this ticket, i need to save for the camera, and basically i was just low on cash and spirits.... on the way home i was actually turning left on gayley, that really long light, you! this suv was next to me and the guy sitting in the backseat on my side started dancing and singing to me through my window... after a little bit of this, he pointed to his phone as if to say the obvious... this whole time i was smiling and laughing... the light took forever! i was trying so hard not to look at them... then all of a sudden the light changed and as both lanes started to turn, the same guy in the back of the suv turned around and showed me his curly haired ass!!!! hahahahhaa, it made me feel better about life and God teaching me a lesson... laughs like those are priceless...
***kyle was being kinda... assertive. minh didn't leave the clicker and it was my turn to have parking so i asked kyle for some help.. like leaving the clicker upstairs if he went out, etc... he went on about how he felt it was his right to have the clicker and that he wanted to be able to leave whenever he wanted without going through all that hassle.. finally we ended on if he does go out, he'll call me... don't get me wrong. he as every right to say what he wants to say and in this case he's even right. i guess i just started to expect certain things from people, let's call them "small favors" that make life much more easier. i felt this way b/c these are my friends, my roommates, and i'd do it for them... ironically, the way i feel now, i think minh would be the only one to actually do something like that for me (whining and all, but still do it ;) is it wrong to expect little things like that? am i supposed to suddenly say no when they need similar favors? i feel like the world just takes takes takes... one day it will wear away my protective barrier and all hell will break loose... until then... i'll be sitting here typing in this indirect human connection device on my lap complaining about this or that. until that day....
