Fuck the what?...
I'm now driving a newish vehicle; finally got rid of the piece of crap black 1996 Isuzu Rodeo (thanks Dad), and "bought" my Mom's silver 2001 Isuzu Rodeo. Make and model similarities are purely coincidental; this family doesn't have any brand name faith or anything of that sort. It runs and it doesn't have any notable operating problems (other than the fact that even people three inches shorter than myself would feel too tall for it; it's impossible for me to sit up straight while driving anymore), and all it cost me was $1000 up front (via check) and $1500 in pool/yard/house work over the next six to nine months. I at least don't mind being financially tied to my Mom (versus despising my financial ties to my Dad), because she tends not to meddle in my life and respects my privacy and personality. She is at least able to treat me somewhat like a mature person and understands that it's far too late in my life to try to change me. *hint hint Dad and Nancy*
Best part is that I'm now spending about half as much money on gasoline.
I keep in relative touch with my Dad still (talk to him every couple of days or so; nothing detailed, but still about as much as I tell my Mom about my life), and he keeps telling me I need to call the house and talk to the other parts of the family, something I really just don't want to do. I've got nothing against them, but I just don't like having those negative people in my life; it does me no good and only drives me to become miserable.
If I'm going to survive this world, I need to be able to remain positive at all costs.
I spent most of Dead Jesus Day weekend with Kim, we watched some movies and had a BBQ. Got to see John's un-bearded face for the first time in real life, and Simon recently became as interested as I am in Takashi Miike's films. I borrowed Mary's digital camera over a week ago for a music video project I'm making for my Electronic Music class, and I still have yet to finish with it, much less give it back to her. I finally got to to really talk to Vaqas about two weeks ago when I ran into him at the library, and it was good to talk to someone about real things for once. Don't think I've had a real 3-hour conversation with anyone offline since high school, and it felt good to do so.
My social life is relatively healthy, and that makes me happy.
...oh, and I finally did some laundry yesterday... :-D
