2 weeks and $11,000 later, my parents have bought quite a bit of furnature. Let's run down what they got (all from Pennsylvania House mind you).
What they will buy in the next month:
  • New carpeting for the house - we have nasty old dirty sea gree carpeting. Glad to see it leaving.
  • Flat screen TV - no need for it. Dad has money, dad wants a new toy.
  • 2 laptops - Yeah, see the last post. Fucker.
  • exterior painting - the trim needs to be done
  • Family portrait - last one was done 13 years ago.

All of this while completely ignoring me :| Yay. At least I get the old TV. It kicks ass. 32'' Sony. Won't have to buy one when I move out. I basically have an entire fucking apartment full of furnature. A queen size bed, kitchen dining set, kitchen curio cabinet thing, 2 end tables, bedside table, and various other small pieces. Maybe getting an unfurnished loft would be best so I have a place for all this stuff. Cool thing about it is all this matches.

Finally, I am back from my long journey into Hell. Rather, work, apartment hunting, lack of money, night classes and the such *huff* Thank God I have my precious LAN back. I have so much I need to catch up on and finish and none of it could be done without my internet. Bit of a recap:

Since I've been gone I've gotten my Journalism 110 test back (60% ouch, but it's still a C! Go figure), I've been paid (w00t) and I was "encouraged to start my life" by Mom and Dad. Translation: find an apartment. So, apartment hunting I went. Found an awesome apartment in a not-so-awesome area. Poo. I was prepared to look past that when the girl currently living there said she would be leaving to go back to Arcadia July 1st. Well, I don't want to be frazzed about a.) moving for the 1st time and b.) finals. I barely have time now to look for an apartment, let alone work, go to school, finals, etc. and find a roommate to take her place. The ad for the place was up for 2 months and I was the only person to follow through with it. Must say something about the place :-|

At the same time I told Jason I couldn't be going to Coachella because of the lack of money situaion I would have in April. Now that I'm not moving, I would be able to go again, but he's already put up a plea for someone to share the hotel room with him. I don't want to be a greedy brat and say "Hi, I can go now, can I stay in the hotel?" The only band I want to see Saturday is Hot Hot Heat and Sunday is my big day. It's looking like more of a DJ oriented festival this year. A few bigger bands, but none that blow me away. If they pull a suprize addition to the line up like, say, Supergrass (!!!!!!!!!!!), I'd make the trek out by myself and stay at the empty house in Riverside, or, *sigh* ask to stay at my aunt's in Moreno Valley. If I really want to go, I'll find a way.

Looking through the paper I saw Jason Mraz was playing the HOB Anaheim March 24th. Oh my!!!!!! Why did I see this earlier? Yes, I know I said I'd never do a work-night concert, but this isn't a kick my ass concert. It's silly Jason playing his guitar and singing about being a curbside prophet from the South. That will meet my quota lol Fire Theft on March 8th (yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!!!!!) and then Jason Mraz. Too bad Death Cab for Cutie sold out.

I went shopping a bit today. I had a gift certificate for Victoria's Secret and I wanted to have some fun. Gap was a bust. What I saw last week was all gone. Fuck them. Express was crap too. I saw a skirt down on Pine St. that I fell in love with and they had one; an extra small. Who the fuck is actually an extra small? Oh well. I got this from Victoria's:



The bra and black undies match (both are black) and the other undies are various random colors. The lady who was helping me (don't really need much help lol) was so cute. She was pregnant and she said "Oh my goodness, I swear by this bra. It breathes and stretches nicely. I mean, look at me! I need something that will get this big *grabs boob*"

The dryer here is blown so I have to head out to the laundrymat so I have some clothes for tomorrow. Such a drag. I'll end up taking everyone shit and have to hault it back and forth. I saw all the crap taken out of the laundry room, waiting to be washed.

Last thing before I leave. Pops is going to be selfish again. He's getting my brother and him laptops, and then graciously dumping his other Wintel desktop onto me. Oh, gee thanks. :-| Fuck. I mean, he says 5 different things, and then pulls crap like this. I'm just going to buy my own fucking Mac. If he'd like to make up for both my 18th birthday and graduation, he can. If not, I won't care.
