On Freak-Outs and Fuck-Ups

May 12, 2008 23:58

So my next court appearance is May 22nd. Both a school day, and my mom's birthday.
 Awesome.
This is the day I will be getting my license revoked. Or so I think. I mean, one can only have 12 points in Ohio and retain a legal license. I think I'm up to 16 points. I don't think I speed more often than the average person. I just go WAY too fast (20mph or more over the limit doubles the fines AND the points), and I always get caught. My own fault, I know. My payment for my last ticket is due May 21st. So I better have that payed on the day it's due. I'm not tryin to get arrested on a Thursday morning.
Fuck, man.
I'm such a fuck-up.
It's going to be $200 for the previous ticket. And $200 for this one which will be due in a month or so. I fucking make $7.25 an hour. I haven't made that little since I was 14, working at a movie theater. Good thing I start at Northstar soon.
I have to come up with $700 by June 1st. Just for rent. I maybe should've thought a little bit harder about what i was willing to spend a month for a place to stay. After that, it's $350. But still... That's what I was paying when I lived alone.
Man, I miss living by myself. Walking around naked, keeping my own hours. Doin shady ass shit and not having any witnesses...
It was a great growing experience for me. I think every young woman should live alone for a while.
That said, I isolated myself a lot when I lived alone. It made it really easy to not speak to anyone for days on end. I would get completely freaked out, too. Like, turn-all-the-lights-on-shut-and-lock-the-windows-and-doors-and-call-your-friend-panicking freaked out. This was partially due to my personality and partially due to the neighborhood I lived in. I mean, I DID get MUGGED. In BROAD DAYLIGHT. Plus, people broke into my car all the time, and tried to break into my house while I was home. Then there was that guy that shot himself in the next building...
Anywho... This place should be sweet. I'm hoping the neighbors will be cool, and i can meet a bunch of people. Hannah and I are going to be doing some gardening, and I'm setting up a saltwater tank in addition to my freshwater one. I'm pretty excited about that.
Meh. Going to bed now. Homework undone.
