more progressed than i anticipated

So um, holy crap. I talked to my dad today to wish him a happy birthday, and we got on the subject of the computer I'm building. He told me he got me my motherboard and processor already.

Jesus... I told him that really wasn't necessary, and I can do it on my own, and he just told me to basically shut it. I think this is going to end up being a father daughter bonding thing, when it was originally a me and Mike Brunke "let's hang out and build my computer" thing. Fine with me.

So let's tally everything up...
______________________________________
I have the following:

Keyboard/Mouse
Motherboard
Processor
Fan
Video Card
CD/DVD Burner

I need the following:

Hard Drive
Memory
Case

Which basically is amazing and means I will have my new computer built by June, all going well. I picked up a couple third shifts at the home, which means, incentive pay, plus over time, plus third shift premium... and it's in skilled, which means for those shifts I'll be making close to $18 an hour. Kiss my ass. I can't wait to get this thing built.

I'm also looking into moving to Milwaukee. I'm tired of Fond du Lac, and I know it has a lot to offer me, but I really can't stand being here. And if Chris doesn't want to be my friend, then there really isn't anything left for me here besides a job and school, which I can fucking do anywhere. I want to be in a bigger city, I want to be away from here, because it holds too many memories of what he and I had, and if he's going to act this way, I'm not sure I want much to do with those memories anymore. I don't think it's too much to ask for a friendship. It's just really disheartening and saddens me, that we can't look past everything and be okay. I know this isn't the case, but it really makes me feel like there isn't anyone out there for me, and basically guys are really only good for one thing: sex. I'm tired of getting my heart stomped on.

But I've been talking to a couple of people, and one of them is thinking about moving to Milwaukee at the end of fall semester. Which means I can take classes at the tech and get my Gen Eds out of the way and transfer to a school in Milwaukee, and get a job at Froedert Hospital and be fine. It may not happen that soon, but I'm going to figure something out. I might just put up with Fond du Lac for a little while yet, and after my computer is built keep saving for a trip to Europe. Shit, wouldn't it be great if I could live there... I just need a change. Badly. This year has been horrible to everyone I know so far. Except my father, but he doesn't count because he's not human. In a good way.

Okay I promised Rosa I'd come over. An hour ago. MUST MOVE.
