The new girlfriend (who is neither all that new in my life, nor did she ever officially say she was my girlfriend) is sick, which does not bode well for me in a multitude of ways. Oh well. That's life. Can't blame her if germs attack me.
It's been kind of a blah last few days. Well. I shouldn't say that. Some good things happened (Friday and Saturday were both pretty amazing days). Friday I hung out with Kiersten all night. We went to the diner for coffee and dessert. We also watched some MST3K (which she'd NEVER seen) and some classic commercials. There was some Pete & Pete mixed in there too.
Saturday, glorious Saturday. The Phillies clinched the NL East in dramatic fashion. Just the third time in my life they'll be going to the play-offs. This year I know they won't go three and out. They can do it. Saturday night I took Chesney to see Burn After Reading. It wasn't the best Coen Brothers film, but it was enjoyable in a very dark, shaggy dog, kind of way.
I make it no secret that I am riddled with anxiety over my future. In less than a month I'll be turning twenty five and it feels like I'm not any closer to really starting my life than I was at twenty. With the political landscape and the economy totally clusterfucked I am really concerned about what I am going to do to survive in this world with my student debts to pay. I want to get out of my parent's house. I want to start standing on my own. How am I supposed to do that when I already have $900 a month worth of bills? I need to consolidate my loans but I can't seem to find a bank who doesn't require me to make a certain amount of dough monthly. It's really stressful.
I need to figure out where I'm going. It probably involves more school and that's really kinda frightening.
