Well...it finally happened I crashed my car. About a week ago there were reports that another snow storm was on it's way into the Mid-Michigan area again, and I really needed to get some laundry done, which for me means driving from my place on the southside to my mom's place in grand ledge. About a 20 min drive ( Read more... )

Old people. Teens. Women of all ages. Men who think their genitalia is a compass. Men more interested in their surroundings, in that woman in a skirt. Men more interested in the car itself, in other people's cars. People trying to impress other people with their ability to do dumb things. Drunks, drugs addicts, dreamers with dilated pupils, and ( Read more... )

The weather is stressing me out. The snow just won't stop. I'm trying to take it all in stride, and remain positive, but the uncertainty of transportation is weighing on me. Before I bought the Buick it was my unreliable car, and the pending, inevitable breakdown. Since that axe fell, I made a grown man move and copped a new car. Now it is an ( Read more... )

Registering for classes is fucking stressful, mostly it's the uncertainty of financial aide. Did I do that correctly? It's a $2097 question. God, I hope so. I even called the financial aide office to sooth my rambunctious nerves. It didn't help. I need to lay off the coffee ( Read more... )

I've been locked out of several accounts recently cause I just can't remember my password. This is mostly due to more places asking for capitalization, and numbers, different length requirements, and things I generally don't use in my passwords, so when I finally come back to an account and try one of the few rotating passwords I do use they don't ( Read more... )

The past four years have been the most difficult of my life. When I moved home from Chicago it was not by choice, it was because I literally had nowhere else to go. I was dead broke, and not in a, "Hey guys, I can't go to the bar tonight...I'm broke." kind of way, in a I didn't have money for food, had my phone cut off, and was being served an ( Read more... )

I'm as confused as ever ( Read more... )

I have considering a second job. Meijer cut hours, which means as one of the low guys on seniority but even if I a few extra hours they are getting bumped. This past week about every parttime employee had about 20 hours, and for me that's just not good enough. I have been picking up shifts on 3rd, but it sucks, and I'd much rather just restrict my ( Read more... )

There are studios in uptown Chicago (read: just north of where my friends live) for around $550 or the same price as I would pay sharing a place with people. The only draw back to this idea is that I don't owe any furniture, ha, but I mean a table, a bed, and a tv, and I'm good. Of course, this would be totally contingent upon passing a credit ( Read more... )

From the sound of things my friend's roommate is not going to resign their lease, and there would be a spot for me in Chicago. Of course any roommate situation is unpredictable, and until I hear that the kid is packing his shit I will remain cautiously optimistic ( Read more... )
