re: nothing, really.
not dead, just disconnected from most things online.
ecchifam, i miss you. :(
i wish i were less poor so a visit would be feasible.
i came to an agreement with my folks- i would not get another job this semester, and in return my dad gave me money for december's bills. the rationale is that they both (but my dad more specifically) would feel more comfortable with me spending time focusing on school and not having to worry about work. it's been enjoyable (albeit sometimes boring) to have a break after 2+ years of working 30 hours a week, but i still really really really hate getting money from my folks. it just rubs me the wrong way. in addition, i feel guilty spending the money on anything but necessities and such, even though i continue to purchase things i don't "need"... i don't like not having complete control over my spending power.
it's a useless thing to be bothered by, but not having a constant source of income and not working for my money get under my skin something awful. i considered finding a small part-time job where i could work less that 20 hours a week, but with the holidays and everything coming up, i don't see how anywhere would hire me and then turn around and let me go all the way to memphis twice within 6 weeks. argh.
oh, also- since i've moved into the apartment (which is still internet-less), i've realized that people on lj post all the fucking time... like crazy, yo. i've missed quite a bit of personal lj posts from my friends list, so is there anything going on with you all that's of particular interest or importance? i feel like i'm missing out on a lot.
