keep on keepin' on
i feel like charlie brown right now. as soon as one cloud shows a silver lining, a gang of black clouds hovers around it and rains hail all over it. BIG SIGH. just once i would like things to go my way.
here is a quick list of my current annoyances:
- my parents offered to help me out with the expense of a macbook pro. BIG YAY! it didn't get here last week like it was promised to but whatev. last night i try to start it up for the first time and it's completely DOA. ugh. collectively, my parents and i have been on the phone with various mac techs for the last 3 hours. we just want them to send us a new one. what's the point of repairing a BRAND NEW computer? sheez.
- jen and i were all set to sign papers for an apartment until a dramatic increase in the rent was sprung on us at the last second. damn, ain't that unethical?
- deadlines are approaching and i'm less than prepared and i'm not feeling too optimistic right now. :(
- OH YEAH. my current digs are right by santiago canyon, i.e., fire territory so it's been a touch and go situation this last week. i packed up most of my stuff just to make it easier in case we had to evacuate. the orders never came about but it's still frightening to live close enough to the canyon fires that i could see the flames from the backyard. yikes!
in the middle of all of this, i've been trying to keep my sanity. i can feel the depression creeping in and besides a mini-meltdown on saturday and some increased consumption of dark chocolate, i've been keeping my emotions in check.
i need a shopping spree or a day where i am able to sleep all day and watch cheesy movies, like, now.
i'm off to keep working on my cheesy essay about being a riot grrrl.
xo.
p.s. a humongous kiss for all of those that have read and offered help with my essay. i appreciate the time that you spent helping me out. i owe you all a big one!!!
