recently i've been boycotting my livejournal because i really don't have anything impressive to write about. things have been going really shitty for erika and i. our cell phones got shot off because we missed the payment. and just when things look great, they really just turn to sucky. my life never used to be like this and i've concluded that erika's life is cursed. i'm pretty sure she agrees. she finally got a pay check on friday, whichs is put on a pay card that sears gives their employees. we lost it. can't find it. so we had to go to work and get a new one, which she can't activate 'til tuesday. then, just when we thought everything was going smoothly for Brooks. we find out that no one will co-sign her 38 thousand dollar loan. because well, thats a huge loan, and certain important people just cannot. not by choice. the dog needs a vet visit, erika still needs steal toed boots for work. and the list goes on and on.
i start my new job on tuesday 4-8 training. at cold stone creamery. woot. but i'm kinda confused about what they want me to do about my tattoo. on the inside of my right fore arm, is a very subtle chinese symbol tattoo. they told me i have to wear a bandaid over it. EVERY TIME I'M WORKING. now instead of looking like i have a tattoo, it looks like i self mutilate. great. they told me that there is another girl that works there with a tattoo in a similar location and she just draws over it. WTF is that!? how is temperary, magic marker shit more appealing to customers that perminant? i don't get it folks.
anyway, my birthday is in 10 days. which means i will be 19. i don't think we have anything planned. we clearly can't afford to do much. i doubt that i'll see my folks that day, although i would really love to. seeing my little brother would kick ass too! and jenny maybe. by mid june i will start another full time job at Hot Topic. because they can't really hire new staff until the back to school stuff starts. i guess i'm waiting for a phone call from them. i think working at the mall would be ok, except that they pay shit. but erika works there too. and she wants a pay raise really bad. everyone else doing her job is making more money than her. what is that?!
erika and i have been going crazy about looking at apartments these days. there are so many in town portland. especially by east end. there is this really cute sounding one that i want to look it that over looks exchange st in the old port. we need to get out of this house. it's killing us. we only fight about dumb shit, but it only happens when we're here. we don't fight elsewhere. it's like the moment we cross the threshold, our moods automatically change and our gloves are up. there is so much depression, and dead ends, and negitivity here that it's heart breaking to wittness. but while wittnessing it, we've realized that we've become a part of it. we just want our own place. until we can save enough to move to california, and become residence after 1 year, then she'll have in state tuition. she thinks that she might want to take up a trade. and that's what i'm planning on doing in that future. but for right now. just right now. we have to get out of here!
