July 1 ~ Wednesday
The day after my birthday I get carded. Go figure.
Let me rephrase that. I hate where I live, but other than that, all seems to be well. I like being honest. It keeps me from killing someone. I'm getting one of my very old school loans paid off it looks like. I'll still owe the money, but I'm getting a loan to pay the loan. Hmmm...that makes no sense. My school loan that is currently in default is being handled by a collection agency, but singe I've paid a bunch of it off, the collection agency is pimping it out to legitimate loan institutions hoping to get it off of their hands. They are just supposed to yell at me and get me to pay...they called me on the 28th to wish me a happy early birthday...I've been there too long...
Kathy is going to pay me the money she owes me ($30 loan from last week, $50 for the phone bill, and $12.50 for the Nipsco bill) on Saturday. I hope she remembers...I'm sick of having to casually remind her that she still hasn't given me any money. I would think she would have taken it out of her account when she opened the account. Wanting to save money I can understand, making me wait to get the money I'm owed does not make sense. It's not going to collect interest in a week. Whatever. I'm really starting not to care.
That's a lie. I do care. I care enough that if this happens again, I'm going to switch the phone bill into her name and make her send the checks out for Nipsco and for the phone. It shouldn't be my problem ... it should be our problem, as roommates. She keeps mixing up the roomie/friend thing up and it's so not cool. I mean, what happened to all that "I owe you sooo many breakfasts when I have money!!" Uh-huh...now she argues with me over whether she owes me 20 or 30 dollars.
It all changes once you have it I guess.
Joseph and I are doing fine. Just fine. He sent me flowers, he took me to a movie...he was so sweet to me all weekend...didn't complain about one eensy weensy thing. Gosh I love that man. He is one of the nicest people I have ever met. Goodie for me!
Work is boring. I am so glad I'm almost gone. I keep updating this page and that's keeping the time flying. If anyone knows any good webrings to join for a site like this, let me know. I can use all the help I can get attracting people to my site. It's not a top priority, as I don't sell anything, but I like to think I'm a little interesting. Interesting enough to visit now and then.
I'm thinking seriously about adding poetry, and short story sections very soon. Like tomorrow soon. And I'm not sure If I'm going to go to school or not. I'm very worried about finances and transportation and chaining myself to the apartment in Palmer until December and having to park seperately from Kathy because she will have the parking card, and not wanting to pay for those days in the parking because it wouldn't be fair to pay if I'm not there for two days out of every week (I'd have to pay double for parking, I don't like that)
I need to have a talk with my friend. That way she will stay my friend. Oh, and the apartment is a pigsty...she hasn't done dishes since she moved in, and all the dishes are hers. Nice, eh?
