Damn you, State Farm! When will this new policy suspension be lifted? This is getting ridiculous. My new car has been sitting on the lot for three days now...

I am so annoyed, I'm on the verge of crying. Don't they understand it's a little difficult for me to get rides to and from work when I don't leave work until nearly 1 a.m.?

Snack Packs are evil.

Can't. stop. pudding. consumption.

Apparently, insurance companies in Texas aren't signing any new policies until Emily makes landfall. What the...I mean, jeez, it's already 175 miles from Brownsville. I don't think it's going to make some dramatic turn and head towards us.

This bites because I can't drive my car off the lot until it is insured.

Maybe Emily is a possible name for ( Read more... )

Beloved Mitsubishi

Ethel's a goner. I just have to figure out what to do with her. I could sell her. Problem is, she's not running. I think I may have to contact a junk yard.

• survived mom's big pancreatic cancer scare (results negative)...
• ...and later her minor heart attack
• suspicions of my brother's royal assholeness were reaffirmed (I call him eighty-sixed)
• watched my sister graduate high school and move out a week later

Two months since I've been online...it was kind of a nice break.

Not much happening on this end. Moved into the new apartment two months ago. Note to self: must get computer.

Actually, that's a lie. Plenty has happened. Maybe I'll rummage through it some other day. But I promise it won't take another two months this time.

I signed the lease on my new apartment today. I can move in on the 14th. It's the same complex as musicnutintx, orangepez123, zincfinger and gunniwolf. I'm superexcited.

I'm thankful for friends with TiVo. Got to catch up on the L Word today at mamiyaman_16 and waxkitten's house. I need to get Niki all caught up with last season, and of the many lesbians on my friends list, I know one of you has it on DVD. I ( Read more... )
