threeplusfireI want Chinese food in a terrible way. Which is not good for many reasons. Mostly because my car is broken and I can not go get Chinese food. Because I have no idea how much it will cost to fix the car tomorrow, so I really shouldn't drop money on Chinese take-out. The delivery wants a minimum $15 order, which would be a lot of food for just me. I should just make a grilled cheese sandwich instead. I crave seasame chicken with broccoli and rice though.
Yes the car is broken again. The same problem I was having before we replaced all my spark plugs. *sigh* I just loathe it when the car breaks down. Granted it is an older car, and things wear out, etc, etc. But it just frustrates me out of all reason when I feel like my independence is being compromised in some way. I'm going to have to ask my father to take me from the university to my mechanic tomorrow afternoon.
I'm taking Karen's cat to the vet to be fixed and given her shots. Because I can't stand it when people aren't repsonsible with their pets and I'm not going to live with an animal that isn't current on it's rabies shots. I understand that Karen doesn't have a lot of money, but at the same time I think "well you could not go out to eat and you could forgo a new piercing and then you would have the money to pay for this." I don't know. I probably shouldn't judge so harshly. I was raised with the idea that you take care of your animals, you keep them current on their shots, and you don't skimp on their medical care. If you care and you're responsible you do that kind of thing. So I will just not argue with her about it and take care of it myself.
TWC doesn't want to give me unemployement because I won't drop out of school for a job. Well, that is just wonderful. Thanks for your time. What the hell kind of thing is that to say? To encourage me to drop out to work some menial office job during the day where I wouldn't learn and I would feel terrible about myself? Absolutely not. Dropping out is not an option. I refuse to drop out of school just because I don't have any money. I will find some way to keep everything together for the next couple of months. Somehow. Somehow.
Mm hunger. Tomorrow Patrick will be back in town. China has our soldiers somewhere. It disgusts me that Bush can't speak. I need to clean my apartment. Only a few more weeks til I move and I'm not ready. Panic rises at the thought. I have homework I should be doing. I will talk to you later.

i hate moving too
Date: 2001-04-02 03:38 pm (UTC)what are you planning to do with your friend when he gets to town? is the weather good? gosh i miss austin. i crave sea dragon right now, even though i just had tons of dinner and buttermilk chocolate cake.
in reference to your last post- aren't cleansing conversations like that just the best? :) things will turn out. you seem to be discovery lots of things about yourself during these college days. that is so cool to read about. and for sure you shouldn't drop school, you'll find a way :)
well, i wish that i was closer so that i could interupt your cleaning with a piece of cake. have a great visit starting tomorrow!
Re: i hate moving too
Date: 2001-04-02 04:03 pm (UTC)The weather is nice, supposed to top out at 85 this week. It's a bit cloudy but still nice. Maybe we can go a week without rain. ;)
Oh Sea dragon and cake! Mmm food. Heh. I'm going to drive myself crazy. Maybe tomorrow when the car is fixed I can indulge myself.
I don't know. Patrick and I need to have some long conversations, and he probably misses the Austin coffee houses. Maybe we can have dinner sometime while he is visiting.
Re: i hate moving too
Date: 2001-04-02 04:10 pm (UTC)long conversations are sometimes hard....but i suppose they are better at coffee houses. when i was moving to austin from dallas and didn't want to go...REALLY didn't want to go, my mother took me to "mozarts" on lake austin. that was 7 years ago..it's SO different now, bigger and expensive. but i miss my austin coffee places too... my best friend bill and i would meet at Mojo's for hours and hours when we first got acquainted. he would bring his "tao te ching" or somesuch thing and always be waiting and i would rush over, late...and leave, late.. i alwaysalways left late, and was constantly getting in trouble from my then-boyfriend. *sigh* those are good memories :) thanks for letting me ramble them. :)
though i don't really know your situation, i wish you the best. and when you get the chance , go to sea dragon and tell me how it is yummy :)

Date: 2001-04-03 12:22 am (UTC)You should move to Berkeley
Date: 2001-04-02 03:49 pm (UTC)Also all laws regarding pets refer to their owners as "human guardians." Because Berkeley loves animals. And I love you for taking care of your friends cat. (I miss my kittydumplingpie Mickie)
Re: You should move to Berkeley
Date: 2001-04-02 04:11 pm (UTC)We need a culinary exchange program between UT and Berkeley. Breakfast tacos and cheap Chinese. :)
I've heard about Berkeley's animal laws, which seems pretty good to me. If someone is going to have a pet, they had damn well better be responsible with it. (I miss my fluffy calico kittie Rachel)
