So my mom and I were discussing how much it's going to cost me to drive out to Seattle (I'm estimating 200-300 for gas alone). We realized that it's going to be a hell of a lot more expensive than just flying me and shipping my stuff. So now she thinks that I should sell my car. Wouldn't have to pay insurance, wouldn't have to pay for a parking space, gas. I get a free bus pass anyway and if I want to go downtown, parking is a bitch. Could really use the money from it. I want to go to Portland, Olympic National Park, the rainforest, Vancouver, Whistler, Mount Hood, biking around Lake Washington, kayaking in the Sound, but my great aunt has already offered to let me use her car (ps I have big plans. I'm going to learn to climb and snowboard.). The thing is, I really really really don't want to sell my car. I have this very unnatural attachment to that car. I love her. I think the car represents autonomy to me; I like that at any moment I could throw all my stuff in my car and leave. I don't want to make an irrational decision based upon my adoration of an inanimate object, but seriously.
In other news, Indiana decided to give me an extra 500 dollars (evidently they found it lying around), I think I have a place to live for the summer, I am flat broke, my brother came and left (we watched the entire season of Firefly, at a rate of about 3 episodes a day), turns out that people don't want to hire someone for a month and a half, deer eat tulips, but not daffodils.
