In case you care, here's a little update of everything that I have been up to in the past 6 months or so. It's long, and mostly boring, but it's here.
-I moved out of my free place, and in with my best friend who's having a bit of a money struggle right now. It's a long story and I'm not sure i'm up to explain it. I'm now paying $200 - $400 a month in rent. But that's still really fucking cheap for a room. I'm not expecting it back, but he really wants to pay me back when he gets money.
I got a credit card. Yeah, not that big of a deal, but I need to get that credit score up. Plus, it's not like I'm going to do any major damage with a $700 limit.
-I bought a new car. that's right. Goodbye red 1994 Nissan Sentra Coupe, hello black 2008 Honda Civic Sedan. I owe Honda Financial Services $310.68 for th next 4.5 years. But, I needed a fucking car, and it's nice. Plus I don't pay for gas, and I would probably be paying that in gas money every month, especially with my 30 mile a day commute.
-I got a new job. I still work at the school for homeless kids, but no longer do I work for anal retentive bitch and her minion. I work as the TA for the 6th and 7th grade class, and my boss is rad. We watched Hot Rod in class today.
-I've got a new outlook on life. I don't know exactly what changed, but I'm pretty sure I know who caused it. Lately, I've been trying to make the best out of my situation, and I really have been feeling happier. I went through an 'ordeal' with a man whom I love. Basically, we're just friends now. But in a good way. It hurt so fucking much, but neither of us wronged the other. He is my best friend, and I can honestly say that I would rather see him happy with someone else than with me. I can't lose him as a friend. I love him, and I know he feels the same about me. That's enough for me.
-I've finally decided to take school seriously. Again, I don't know what happened, but something just fucking clicked. I stopped fucking around, and I got serious. I didn't 'decide to' like I did with my outlook on life, it just happened. I guess that's what they call growing up. It just fucking hits you one day, and you're like "damn." I mean, before I couldn't pass 9 units while my only job was school. Now, I'm working full time, cleaning up after 3 messy boy roommates, and going to school over-full-time. If I play my cards right, I've got 2 more semesters (or less) of schooling and classes until I can transfer. Now I just have to figure out what the fuck I want to do with my life. D:
I am catching up on my reading. I love reading, and every job I've had before this stressed me out so much to the point where I didn't want to read. That's a big deal for me, because reading is my love. It is my escape, my release, my safe place. Now that I've switched jobs, not only do i have time to read in class, but I have been so stress-free (well, work-related anyways) that I have been indulging. I bought myself $200 worth of novels. The lady at the bookstore asked me if I was doing required summer reading, and when i told her "no" she looked at me like I was crazy.
I've been listening to more music. Like reading, music is my other love. I've been gathering new meaning out of old songs, finally hearing them the way they were meant to sound. I wish I had more time to concentrate on music. I'm still working on this area.
I can't think of much else that's changed, other than the slight difference in the color of my hair. I seriously need to start a Diary or something, because writing about this feels great. But I feel so weird writing to no one.
Thanks WTF.

... let me say that I'm very happy that things are going good for you. I hope that the ball keeps rolling and things are able to go from good to great.
