(no subject)
Man, things have been off lately. I've been having mood swings and shit. It's really bothering me. My mom was gone all weekend and I didn't even get to do anything. Eh, there'll be other weekends. Although I am bummed I didn't get to go to Courtney's 21st birthday.
I've been working a lot lately. Which is great because I need the money. But I think this is seriously the first job I've ever had where I have no complaints. It's honestly the best job I've ever had. Not only am I making more money than I ever have anywhere else, I get to work a set schedule so my hours are always consistent. It makes it a lot easier to make plans. Plus, it hardly even counts as work. I work a total of 4 hours in an 8-hour shift, and spend the other 4 hours reading, doing crosswords, sleeping, or watching movies (yesterday it was The Bourne Ultimatum. Excellent movie, by the way). When I actually am working, it's not like working at all. I stand at the door and ask people where they are going, check the address, and press the button to open the gate. It's awesome. I don't really have any supervisors to report to, and since it's not retail, I'm not anybody's bitch. Haha we get to call the shots. And if someone wants to be a dick we can just tell them to leave or call the cops on them. Since I get 4 hours of downtime a day, it certainly gives me time to do homework or anything like that, so it makes school easier as well. So yea, I'm pretty damn stoked about my job. Pretty sweet.
I'm also stoked because I got my ticket today to see Thrice and Brand New next month. Fuck yea. And literally a week later, Thursday is playing the El Rey. Both shows are on one of my days off, so I'm going to try to hit both of 'em. Shouldn't be a problem at all.
And I finally talked to Morgan today after like 2 months of trying desperately to contact him, and he told me he's on his way back from Texas right now (pretty sweet, he just disappeared on me after I bought a car from him), and he'll be back in the next couple days with the title for me. I just can't believe he sold me a car without actually having the title in his possession. Seriously, how lame is that. Pretty lame on my part as well, for not making sure beforehand. But it's understandable, it's been almost 3 years since I owned a car so I was naturally excited to be able to buy one. It's been shitty, owning a car I can't use. Haha owning a car but still having to take the bus to school and walking to work, and only being able to hang out with people at their convenience... But hey, it's finally going to be taken care of. So things are starting to look up a bit. I just hope this high point rides out for a while. I have a track record of depression in the fall, save for when I was in high school. So I really want to change that this year. Here's to hoping.
