And again this e-mail to LJ feature is coming in handy. I still have no Internet, so I'm writing the entry now and will send it once I reconnect tomorrow. The diagnostics on my computer aren't good either. The tech woman says this laptop is basically toast, and improving it would cost as much as purchasing another one. So I'll see what happens with ( Read more... )

This book sounds totally interesting. Glad you liked it so much. Hope the report goes good for class.

Huge bummer about your laptop. Understand, oh how I understand.

Yeah, I think it's worth the read. And I guess technology just goes like that sometimes. *sigh*

Well, you definitely got me wanting to read the book. I sent off my application for my digital player to the library like two or three weeks ago and I still haven't seen or heard anything back from them. I would have thought they'd have sent me something by now and it's really starting to piss me off cause I'm stuck reading these same four books on my Ipod. Netflix has been keeping me pretty entertained though but I long to get back into my reading, I mean a variety of reading instead of just the same old same. Also, I think there may be other websites where one can write book reviews and possibly get paid for it after like your one-thousandth review or something crazy like that. So yeah, can't wait to start back reading like I used to. Did it take a long time for the library to send you stuff once you sent in your application ( ... )

Actually, I'd recommend just calling them. I never bothered with an application. If you ask, they'll send it out right away.

And yeah I have more time to read this semester, although I'd better get started on these major projects soon. , I'd recommend just calling the library and asking for it. That's what I did. I ne

HEY JOHN! I couldn't exactly remember the correct spelling of your email address so I had to reply to an old Livejournal comment but hopefully you get this. I need you to email me your mailing address. I have the number to Durham's Special Transportation service and was planning on calling them tomorrow. It's time for me to get back to work if I can cause motherfuckers down here ain't calling me back. It's probably all for the best though. It's getting harder and harder for my relationship to grow down here and the more I'm out of work like this makes me think it's about time I close the door on Lions Services and on Charlotte for now, at least this aspect of Charlotte. Someone commented to me in one of my entries that "Time moves in only one direction so should I." If I can call them tomorrow and get this wheel in motion, I should be coming up there the weekend after next. The plan is to see if I can get back to work by the week of Thanksgiving or the week after and that way I'll hopefully be able to get a check from them at the ( ... )

So, I read on Facebook that you're having apartment difficulties. What's up?

Well the student loan I tried to take out won't allow me to get a refund, because I've still got unpaid tuition balance. The tuition was paid for by the Division of Services for the Blind, but it has yet to show up there. Without the loan refund, I can't pay rent. If I don't get at least $350 by tomorrow, I'm very likely to be evicted. Yeah I know, welcome to adulthood. Just trying to get this mess over with once and for all! Thanks for asking.
