So 2008, how ya doing?
So 2008 has been pretty good so far! A couple of pitfalls but nothing big.
Yesterday was pretty awsome! I had a good day at work though I'm a little dissapointed in loosing hours this week. Continuing to loose house this week but I'm ok with today because it let me take care of school. But ok onto the awsomeness... I got let go a half hour early bc we were so freaking slow and so I went to school to take care of a couple things. Then went to the bank to deposit a few things so I acctually have money for the oil and trasmission fluid my car so despertly needs, (I'm pretty sure it's been out of both for nearly 2 weeks). After that I called Tenchi and asked if he was home so I could come pick up my jacket. That was all I planned on doing, but that isn't what did happen. :P We were just chilling and talking when his friend Crys and her man Marcus and then their baby (she's 2) called and said they were on their way. I don't normally hang out with Tenchi's friends (not because he's ashamed of me or anything he just understands I get nervous and stuffs and it's uncomfy for me most of the time), but I'd met Crys before and her baby so it was ok. Hadn't met her man yet though.
There was some drama that will take a whole post in itself to go through, but overall it was really fun with them. Around 11:30 they needed to head home bc baby was ready for bed time (she'd napped a couple times already) and also wanted milk which Tenchi didn't have any of. They left, Tenchi looked at me and then uttered the magical words....... "So 4th stage right?" :-D Yayness!!!! Initial D 4th stage. We watched it for like 4 hours then we turned it off to lay down and go to sleep. That didn't work... Ended up talking and laughing and stuff for at least an hour or two more. Finally we cuddled up and passed out. I was so tired though that I don't remember a lot of what we said near the end. I keep getting the feeling I asked him something important and that the answer was also important, but my mind just can't come up with it. Oh well. I can always ask him if I really wanna know.
We woke up before the alarm we'd set this morn (we set it for 9:30) at 9ish and just kinda blearily looked out at the world. Snuggled a little and kissed and then when the alarm went off decided we should probally get outa bed and get dressed for work and all. Marcus was coming to pick him up for his first day of work and I needed to head off to my job too. The cool thing was that I headed home to pick something up and happened to see a co worker of mine sitting at the bus stop waiting. I did a u -turn and asked if he needed a ride. "Heck yeah! I'm freezing my ass off out here!" (seriouslly man it's really cold over here!!!) I used to ride the buses here so I knew how he felt! So I was glad to make his day just that much better. Plus he saved some money!
Work was good. Sampled today for a few hours. The mall was so DEAD though. I mean, really, it's like everyone is tapped out. I can see this though as I am one of the masses this year. Luckily I get paid tomorrow! Although it's already gonna be gone since I had to pay for my school. $317! For onle TWO classes. I have never been more thankful for prepaid. I only had to pay this time up front because my card from them hasn't arrived (read my mom hasn't been checking the mail so and since that stuff is mailed to her it is probally there and she just doesn't know it), I had to pay now or I'd be kicked from the classes. This sucks but they do it all the time so that people who CAN pay and all CAN get into those classes. I've sat there at midnight before hovering over the mouse clicky button just waiting for that 11:59 to become 12:00 so that I can sign up for a class when the system purges itself. It's a rush! Well, kinda. But yeah, so I signed up for classes too. That went easier than a I though. Oh, and... it appears that I PASSED PRECALC! O glory be hell yeah!(which reminds me to look up a song...)This means I only have to take one class and it's only a 2 week class! How freaking awsome is that?! Or, it would be, if one of my old teachers would get it in gear and grade what she was susposed to grade. Damnit. But that was ok because I signed up for creative writing. I heard really good things about the teacher who does it so I've wanted to take it for a little while but just didn't have the room. Classes start the 9th.
It is so freaking COLD here. I have not been walking tonight because I don't have anything that will keep me warm enough. And my nose hates this weather too. I'm not sick but going between the severe cold and then warm just makes my nose say "fine then! I'm just gonna run on you! HA!" ... My nose is vengeful.
O man, kitty was up my ass when I got home earlier. Was all up in my lap and laying on my arms and stuff. Guess he missed me, which is always nice but I'm really worried what I'd do with him if I go to OR this summer like I'm hoping to. I'd probally leave him at my moms like I've done before when I went for a weekend or a week or something, but I always feel so guilty leaving him behind. It's like leaving my baby behind! It's hard damnit!
O yeah, also apparently my rent is up here the last day of Feb! I thought it was later in like April or May!!! O.O This means one of two things, I'm either getting a house, or moving into another apartment. I could stay here but I feel guilty having my mom and dad pay so much for rent. In general I DO like this apartment, but I've got the wonderer's bug and I'm starting to get ancy again. The wonderer's bug is where you can't stand being in one place to long. You get itchy, annoyed, ancy, just you can't seem to stay still. This probaly comes from a lifetime of moving, but I hate staying in one place too long. I like moving. I like meeting new people like I do. Plus, theres so many memories of Eric here, I think I should move out. If I don't I'm sure those memories will eventually turn on me and it will not be pretty. Waking up alone in the bed is hard enough so many times. Tenchi and I agree on that. So do a lot of my other friends. We agree that waking up alone in a bed is the worst part of being single.
That reminds me! When Crys and Marcus were there last night, there isn't much room to sit so me and Tenchi were on the bed with the baby sleeping at the end (it's only a twin) and I was sitting behind Tenchi. Crys wanted a back massage (Tenchi's gone to school for it) and I was just scratching Tenchi's. Tenchi, Maruc, and Crys had been switching off playing Step Mania (ddr for your comp) but the baby woke up and demanded mommie. So we all had to rearrange. I stayed behind Tenchi, Crys had to move to a chair so baby could sleep in her lap, and Marcus didn't play musical seats with us. Hehee. Anyways, the whole point to this was that I reached over Tenchi to get to the keyboard to keep myself occupied (by turning it on no fail and watching funny lyrics and flash animation bg's) and happened to be leaning my face barely against his as I did so. Outa like nowhere Crys goes "oooo you guys look so cute! You guys would look so great as a couple." Now see, most of his friends don't know we've ever dated. (There is a reason I'll probally tell it later.) So yeah, I KNOW I blushed but wasn't gonna say anything about our past. Tenchi was all like nessh nessh no. Which I'm fine with because I know he doesn't want a relationship and I'm SOOOOO not ready for one. Plus OMG the baby mama drama THAT would cause. Em despises me, Bri depises anyone that might take him even though she has no chance.... but yeah... So basically it was kinda awkward even more so because my best friend Kim is always saying how we would make a cute couple. (She knows we dated... duh!) She is also damned insistant that we SHOULD be together and that we should shack up in Tenchi's place together! Bah Kiiiiiiiiiiiiiiim!!!! Stop that! I love her but sheesh. Anyways, it's all good because I'd rather be the friends we are now than anything else. :-D (no I'm not fooling myself or him. he knows my feelings, I know his, if it ever changes we will decide that then, but for now, we're content. Plus we both wanna sleep with other people! HAHA! I'm such a slut! Yes that's it Jean you're a slut who sleeps with just 2 men atm. Slutty slut you are!) <---- O blame a lack of sleep and exposure to anime!
So where was I before that???? Oh yeah, apartment or a house.
Ok so the apartment I think makes sense so I'll explain the house. I go to HCC (Hillsborough Community College) right now and I'm almost done my AA in Liberal Arts (fancy way for saying I know all the basics with a few specialized classes). Last semester I thought I was joining to be done but let's just say things didn't work out that way. But before the Fall (last) semester started my dad proposed an idea. They would buy a house near the USF (the college I want to transfer to to get my BA in marine bio) area and would pay the morgate on it and I could live there if I payed the rest of the bills and kept it up and such. It works for them because it's a good investment for the future, and right now the market in Tampa is a haven for buyers. Good houses for good prices because everyone is trying to move but no one can afford too because apparently we have sucky cheating lying morgate people down here, or at least did. But mostly it would be a good investment for them, and would give me a place to live and be stable while I went to school and worked. Since I didn't get my degree last semester though I don't know what'll happen. I know that a morgate for them would be A LOT cheaper than the rent they're paying for me now. So, I mentioned this to mom earlier when she came by (gotta talk about how we're a lot a like later) and I guess we're gonna talk to dad this Sunday. I told them I would get a full time job and go halfsies with them on the morgate depending on how much it is. I would really like a house, but at the same time, I dunno.
But for now, in case that doesn't go through with my parents, I'm gonna be looking for one bedroom cheap apartments... that is unless someone wants to be my roomie by March! Although I could wait til April, possibly May. Mom said they would be ok doing month to month for a couple months to give us time and all. So if you do, lemme know! No seriouslly, I've never had a roommate before that wasn't my boyfriend or an appointed dorm person, so I think it'd be kinda cool.
Biggest pit all so fat this year.... mom told me New Year's day that she's only going to be paying the rent. This means I don't know if I will be able to afford the electricity and water... definitly not internet (I'm on wireless now and I can deal with that), but I'll probally loose my phone to. We'll see, I'm actually pretty good with money so I'll just strap in.
