wow. not having internet sucks.
but i sure do love that its tax season!! i've already got a jump start on my taxes. woohoo. i'm quite excited. i have some stuff to work with this year, which is fun. and next year i'll have interest stuff to deal with. it just gets better and better.
anyway, quick update. i work pretty much just at zumiez right now, funny, huh? i never would have worked there in washington, but out here, it just happened, and i love it. everyone i work with is pretty cool. mid january i get my review to see if i get promoted to manager and get given a raise. that should be exciting, and whenever i move, it'll be an easy transfer. i really want to go back to making coffee, and getting cash tips a lot. less pressure and less responsibility. i sort of don't like working at the mall, because i get realllly materialistic, and want to buy everything, and spend money that i shouldn't. so its sucky, cuz its hard for me to say no and be responsible. which is why i'm behind a month's rent. but tax return should fix that quick! i can't file till the 12th, but that's fine. and when i get my actual w-2's, i'll be able to amend my taxes appropriately.
what else? joel is here visiting us for a few days. matt will be here next week for a bit, then he's taking reggie home. simcoe street mob is becoming a real thing, and doing real shows, and trying to get on real tours. that's fucking exciting news! if you don't know who i'm talking about.....go here: www.myspace.com/simcoestreetmob you will be greatly amused, if not amazed, especially if you know who the dudes are.
our lease is up at the end of april, and we don't know where we're going yet. we're hoping, we meaning laura and i, to go to california. near the beach, not in LA, with our buddy Logan from Portland. but we'll see how money goes and what happens. it'll take me a week or more to make it out there, i'll want to stop in SC for a while and visit with matt's parents. i haven't seen them in forever.
upcoming shows: Feb 1 (DC) - Emery; Feb 4 (Philly) - Portugal.theMan; Feb 25 (Philly) - RXBandits, Gym Class Heroes; then i'm deciding between flying back to seattle to see the Bandits March 24/25, or stay here in Philly to see Emery. After this month, we'll see what happens...maybe i can make my decision then.
A new year, and I can't fuck up. I've already started by telling a boy off. Making sure he knows he cannot use me to cuddle when he's bored or lonely at ridiculous hours in the night, and that I'm worth more than that shit, and he needs to cut it out. I won't be taken advantage of. Punk. I've also started the year out with some good friends by my side, and new ones, too. A certain Korean kid has become quite a fun person to chat with everyday. I'm pretty sure when we actually hang out next, we'll sit across the room on our sidekicks, and not even speak. It will be grand and retarded at the same time. This is long. Sorry.
