I am taking MARTA to work this week because the starter on my Cavalier has apparently crapped out Saturday and it will be Friday before I can do anything about it at the earliest. So I have a little time to catch up on my journal while I ride. There have been a lot of noteworthy things going on.
I will start with Friday, when I took Woody home from work so that I could check out the place I might be moving into. I really dug the house and felt like it and the other housemates I got to meet really vibed well with me. It definitely felt like somewhere I will be happier than where I am at now. We're still hammering out some details, but unless something unexpected comes up I should be moving in before the end of August.
After checking out the house, I went to Famous Pub for Black Out, a goth/industrial night. I probably would have skipped it except that I had told my acquaintance Niki that I would be there and told her she should come out (which she did). I'm glad I did. Not only did I get to know Niki a lot better, but I got to hang out with friends I hadn't seen in a long time like Snow and Robert Casey. I also finally met one of my more interesting Facebook friends, Diana Engel, in person. I didn't get to talk to her much since every time she started talking to me someone would pull her away 2 minutes in. That was okay, though, because it was loud and I could barely hear her anyway. Once again, I miss clubs with a quieter space for people to do their real socializing as opposed to just yelling at each other over the music, which that night alternated between really good and headache-inducingly awful. After Black Out, I went home with Niki and crashed out over at her place.
Saturday, I went home, got things set up for the productive day I was looking forward to having, then went to Kroger for productivity fuel. Upon leaving Kroger, though, my car wouldn't start. I thought the battery might be low, because I have had a lot of battery trouble, but when roadside assistance got out there to jump me, he said it was the starter. I was hot as balls, so I put out a call on Facebook for a ride home. Jason and Stacia ended up be my rescue team.
After I made it home, I waited until sun down to deal with getting my car towed back home. Niki gave me a ride over and hung out with me while I waited for the tow truck. Tbe tow truck guy was fun and I felt terrible that I wasn't able to tip him because I am a poor ass bastard. Afterwards, I went over to Niki's for pizza and Riddick.
