Who cares about lj-cuts.

Yesterday I bought a car. It’s a 1991 Buick Regal. Pretty much the same one I drive now, only newer and fewer miles. Or so we thought. The odometer says 96,000 miles. Fine. The title from the previous owner, dated August 2003, says 106,000. This is easy enough to attribute to a lazy car dealer who took a customer estimate rather than going out to check the actual mileage. So whatever, I was hyped. I let my dad drive it to work today so he could have the guys in his shop check it out and get professional opinions.

So he calls me this morning and says he found old papers in the glovebox, like from ’99, that says the car had 103,000 miles on it. That was 5 years ago. So someone fucking rolled back the odometer. Adam and Rene both warned me against buying cars from Pudgy’s, but I did anyhow, and got screwed. Oh yeah, there’s a giant hole in the gas tank, and I put almost $40 in there yesterday. WHAT A JOKE. I’m returning the car today.

Here are some pictures. The first one is for Annie and Tracy. Everything else is just from the summer and later that I just felt like scanning.

Another COMPLAINING ABOUT COLLEGE post. I HATE COLLEGE. I don’t think I’m doing this again next year. There is only 1 class that I like, and I’m not even learning anything.. I just like it.

Right now I’m supposed to be writing some “letter to the editor” for my english class, but I don’t want to do it because there is NO POINT. I’m not learning anything by doing it. FUCK what is this, high school?

Oh yeah, I’m the Business Manager for the school paper.. I have to organize all this advertising stuff, and invoice people, and do budgeting, and I’m really backed up and I’m afraid people are going to hate me.

I just want to sit here and listen to gangsta rap. And spoon with someone.

Death Cab last night was awesome. They seriously played every song I ever wanted them to play, including Photobooth and I Was A Kaliedoscope, which made me think of Rachel because 3 years ago before we really knew each other, she told me to download that song and then we hung out and listened to it and it was the first time we hung out. I love Rachel. Went with Rene, Eric L, and his girlfriend. Met up with Tiel between sets. It was a good time.

SO GOOD, in fact, that Crystalyn and I are attending Death Cab’s performance in Providence this weekend. I’m excited because, though I don’t miss Death Cab, I dearly miss Crystalyn and can’t wait for Saturday.

I skipped my English class on Friday because it’s pointless and we just watch movies that don’t relate to anything. I want to LEARN. This isn’t high school, where I was HAPPY if we watched The Sandlot every week for no reason. I’m taking an English Comp class so I can learn how to write, but nothing has happened so far.

Sakura Tokyo for lunch with Sean, ice skating with fun kids, then Friday’s. The town was mostly flooded Saturday, some cars and houses underwater, my neighbor’s basement was flooded about 4′ and there were firetrucks everywhere and there was no way into town. Luckily, FEMA wasn’t involved in the cleanup in any way. And it finally stopped raining after an entire week, and the sun came out, and when I saw it I wanted to call Crystalyn to tell her but my phone wouldn’t work.

Sean got me on the guest list for the Reggie/Alkaline Trio/My Chemical Romance show, and NOBODY could come with me, so I took my little brother Ryan. He had a blast, and it made me feel like a good big brother, for once. I WISH I HAD A BIG BROTHER THAT WOULD DO FUN STUFF WITH ME. Met up with TonyJ, he was quite the entertainer. It was so weird seeing Reggie open for My Chem and having kids around me be like “who the fuck is this band,” when 3 years ago it was the exact opposite. I’M NOT INFERRING ANYTHING ABOUT THE SCENE, I’m just saying it’s strange to .. NEVERMIND.

Oh yeah, I HATE IT when a band says WOW I LOVE COMING TO (city name), THIS IS THE BEST FUCKING SHOW ALL TOUR, because SHUT UP we know you’re just saying that.

I AM SUCH A FUCKING PUSSY.

I also have a terrible habit of putting myself in situations where I know I will probably get hurt, and not being able to stop myself.

I feel like it is entirely selfish of me to want a girlfriend, because I know I will be a less-than-ideal boyfriend because I’m always working or at school. I’m sorry.

Rene bought our tickets for The Decemberists this weekend, and Death Cab after that. So hyped.

I just spent $250 fixing the exhaust on my car, which is really not even mine, it’s my dad’s. I still need a new car. Crap. I’m falling asleep as I write this. Tonight I hung out with Hannah and Sarah Gill Who Always Gets Mentioned With Her Last Name. We went to McDonalds. Last night I hung out with my babci and we went to Tatnuck and visited Rachel and then had dinner and made fun of each other like we do.

I’m pretty sure tomorrow at catholic churches, there is an anti-gay marriage petition being passed around. Please don’t sign it, if you happen to come across one.

Holy shit. I fell asleep writing this. I’m leaving it here for historical posterity. Time to get ready for work.

i dont care what you have to say about it.

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: — lj @ 12:30 am

My teeth hurt. Every day. I carry around Aleve with me and pop one or two a day. It sucks.

School is fun. Not fun. That’s not the right word. But I enjoy it. I wish I could spend more time there.

My weekend was fun. I think that’s the right word. Smoked myself stupid. Forgot everything. Celebrated Rod’s birthday at Tortilla Sam’s with a bunch of people and a 40 of Mike’s, which did absolutely nothing except make my mouth sticky. Went to Hannah’s and hung out with her, Chelsea(!!) and Sarahgill, yeah everybody already heard what happened because Hannah has a BIG MOUTH and makes these things her mission. Anyhow at least I finally met someone that I hear about all the time. Today Hannah and I got McDonald’s and had a rendevous with Jolene at CVS.

I miss Rachel, Julia, Crystalyn, Cailah, and you.

Oh yeah, that whole thing where I thought I was gay, I’m over that. Especially since gross boys keep sending me Myspace messages. NOTHX. I like girls.

you’d better act fast

I should be in bed but I just drank a bunch of cofee and now I can’t sleep.

School is okay so far. I think being a commuter takes a lot away from the whole “college experience” you see on TV. I’m trying to overcome that by doing dumb activities (like sand art) and joining groups (newspaper, radio). It will be fine. Classes aren’t that bad. English Comp II sucks. I wrote that essay to get into it, but I probably shouldn’t have. I don’t actually have any real writing skill. I mostly just BS everything I ever write. By getting exempt from Comp I, it’s like saying I have the skills I would have learned in there already. I don’t. Looks like I screwed myself over on that one. I dropped Health because it seemed lame.

Studies of Race, Nation, Gender, and Sexuality is okay. It’s kind of intense. I think it will be fun. Maybe fun isn’t the right word. Once again, proof of my poor writing skills. I can’t even think of adjectives.

Favorite class: World Literature. I really like the African stories, which is all we’ve done so far. Besides the poems, which I don’t really like. I could never get my mind around poetry. Plus, that class has my three favorite people: the mullet lady, the old lady, and Ana.

Meeting people isn’t that hard, except that I don’t remember anyone’s name. I know enough people on campus already so that at least I can always find someone to talk to. And if I can’t find anyone to talk to, there’s always Mario Kart on my laptop 🙂

Work is stressful. It shouldn’t be. We need to hire someone else. It sucks that I have to stay over an hour late to work on something, because I didn’t have time to do it. I’m working 5 days a week, ~40 hours, and I can’t balance my time out. I took today off to go see The New Trust with Sean. So good. I’m going to start taking random days off once a week so I have more time to relax and do homework.

I had FOUR fillings last week and my teeth now KILL. I have to take Aleve every night before I go to sleep or else my mouth throbs. Fuckin dentists.

I think I might like someone :/ Okay two people, but one of them I’ve liked for 3 years soo I don’t count that. I’m fucking stupid. I obviously can’t be in a relationship right now. I guess if I updated more, these entries wouldn’t be so long.

i hope i’m never a teenager again.

I lost $1,000 in financial aid, because I initally said I was living on campus, but now I’m not. I also lost my federally subsidized loan, which means now I have to pay interest, or something. This is a major setback, because I took out another loan to pay for school + a down payment on a car. Now I don’t have anything left for a car. Basically, this sucks because I will be paying off college loans until I’m about 90.

I start class tomorrow, I’m not really nervous, except I’m worried because as usual, I ate an entire pack of Trident today and my tummy hurts. Wish me luck with my first day back, plz.

I got drunk last night and had a long discussion with someone about something that has been bothering me a lot lately, but I didn’t know how to talk about it. I went out with a lot of girls this summer. Nothing really serious, just a lot of dinner dates and hangouts and going to shows and such. Mostly really beautiful girls, because srsly do I hang out with uglies? No. But I’m not even sexually attracted to anyone. When I look at girls, I think things like hey, that girl’s cute and looks like we’d get along, I’d like to get to know her and maybe we can be friends. Popular male consensus shows that I should thinking things more along the lines of damn check out those tits, and nice ass, yo I’d hit that. I look at a girl and check out how many freckles she has.

I don’t think I’m gay, because I don’t really see myself with another guy. I guess this rules me out from being bi, because I’m not really sexually attracted to either sex. Pretty much this sucks because I don’t even enjoy masturbation.

Okay, that was sufficiently awkward. Laurenface gave me her old phone, so now I have one again. 774.276.0679. I’m not working tomorrow after school, so if you want to hang out in the afternoon, holla. Blowjobs greatly appreciated so hopefully we can sort this dilemma out.

how can someone inconsistent mess up so consistently?

Filed under: Uncategorized — lj @ 12:44 am

ROARFirst day of orientation yesterday. Totally boring. Met some nice people. Made it totally worth it.

Highlights included questions such as “is a parking pass the same as a parking permit?” and “how does the wireless internet work? does it like, work for AOL?” Oh well. I’m looking forward to a good year.

After reading the same Onion article 3 times and laughing every time, I realized that I need to find someone with the same sense of humor as me so we can laugh about this dumb shit. I feel dumb sending links to people with things that I find hillarious but nobody else does. The best thing I did all day was read an editorial written by a goat. Five times.

Today I was going to leave work at 2 and go to the second day of orientation, but I was so busy, I couldn’t. We have all these huge clients now, companies with hundreds of stores in malls all accross the country, and there are a lot of issues.. and I am getting really stressed, trying to take care of everything, and trying to help coworkers and get their issues sorted as well. I think Adam’s training is going well, which is a big help because we were (and still are) understaffed. I guess I could have left early like I had planned, but since Friday is my day off, my workload on Monday would have been huge (I work alone on the weekends, so all I can do is answer calls, not work on existing issues). One thing that relieved some stress was that my boss said he knows I’ve been working hard and I’ll see some positive reflection in January’s pay raise. That makes me happy (the recognition of a job well done, not the money). After work I skated to Coney Island, and my mom was outside waiting for my brother to finish his piano lesson.. so we got hot dogs. I love my mom.

Tomorrow is day 3 of orientation, I have to be up early so I should probably go to bed. Don’t think I’m doing anything tomorrow night..

Oh yeah. And BEFORE the obligatory “end-of-summer recap” entry, let me just say that I feel the entire summer would have been a waste if I hadn’t met Crystalyn and her awesome friends (Josh and Anna, that’s you guys).

Thanks to TonyJ, and the Interwebs, I have the new Coheed. Ask if you want it. And yes, I’ll probably buy it when it comes out.

Bought my books for school, schedule is good, I still need a laptop. Orientation tomorrow.. I hear it’s lame. We’ll see. I’m going to try to bail out early to go to dinner for Kirsten’s birthday.

Gas went up, again, about 30 cents from the last time I checked.. probably going to be $3 by the end of September, if not sooner.

Dear everyone that drives an SUV or other uneconomical vehicle: fuck you. I don’t want to break open the nation’s oil reserves so you assholes can use it all in 2 days.

Who wants to hang out for the last week of my summer?
