Thanks to magelette for her generous gift to me. Combined with some money my grandma gave me for Christmas, I am now only $675.17 away from paying off my Visa! Two more payments and I'm done! \O/

I bought a laptop shortly before Nanowrimo began. I'd been wanting one for ages, so yeah. Bought it. Don't regret it.

Super glad I have it now that we're at Thanksgiving week. I'm going to load Sims 2 onto it and take it with me. At least I can lose myself in something less insane than my family.

Honestly yesterday wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. It was pretty decent actually. I spent most of the day talking to my cousin Ryan. Whom I've missed a great deal and just hadn't realized it.

So I get up at 7:40 this morning to get ready for work (which I have at 9). And at 8:25 my boss calls and says he doesn't need me to work today after all, he needs me for tomorrow instead. I'm like, thank you very much, asshole, for having me get up about three hours earlier than I needed to. Jag-off. I really hate my job sometimes ( Read more... )

You ever just have one of those days where you're just like...blah, I don't feel like doing anything? Kinda how I'm feeling right now. I'm bored, my parents left for my aunt's birthday party and I'm just sitting here in front of my computer trying to think of something interesting to do. Don't feel like doing my homework or working on one of my ( Read more... )
