The other night when I was driving home from school, I noticed that gas prices out here had gone up to $3.59. I sighed and suppressed my need to freak out, and continued driving. Tonight when I got off work, gas was the farthest thing from my mind (I still had half a tank) but it was fuckin $3.09 in Algonquin. I actually celebrated for about two ( Read more... )

I cleaned half of my room. Funny thing is, you can't really tell unless you live in here. The unlabled piles of clothing and papers are replaced by things I actually need, like piles of dvds, cds, and books.

Those little things that were popping out on my neck when I had Mono are starting to show up again. I really hope it's just because I'm totally stressed out and that they'll go away because I A) Can't afford to be sick and B) can't afford to be sick. It's that easy. Just can't happen. And fuck you if you say otherwise ( Read more... )

I had a really awesome birthday. My parents bought me an I-Pass (with $40 in tolls prepaid, YAY!), my sister got me a neat smashing pumpkins boot cd, my friends got me giftcards (YES!) and Aaron remains the best boyfriend ever. His dad hooked us up at the Marriot Lincolnshire Resort (he works as a morning cook there) and we had basically a gourmet ( Read more... )
