Lucky 3-8-04

So this is me on my way up to LA Saturday for a friends surprise birthday party. At this point I'm pretty fuckin' happy. I had myself a fine and dandy Friday night at Sparky's and woke up bright and early Sat. morning to go phone shopping. I had some extra cash and decided it was time for a little "feel good, spend some money on myself" present. Of course it HAD to be one of those fancy little camera phones, but you'll be happy to hear that I did show a little self control and decided against the super phabulous video phone that I had been drooling over for quite some time. I did end up spending $280 though...I got a $130 rebate coming in 8-14 weeks though. That'll be one of those nice things that shows up just about the time I've forgotten about it and puts a little smile on my face. I also raised some hell with Sprint and ended up getting a SWEET new deal on my cell plan. I highly recommend calling and telling the first person you get that you talked to someone last week that offered you a lot more minutes for the same rate and you want to take them up on it. The first person won't know what you're talking about and will say "You must have been speaking with the retention department". Once you get connected with the retention department "again" they'll cut to the chase and tell you what they can offer you. I bet it'll be good!

So I was happy! It was a nice day. I spent some money. I had a new toy. I was on my way to hang out with my friends. That's Francyne, the birthday girl, to the right. I spent more money on dinner, then spent more money at a bar, then spent more money at Jumbo's Clown Room. If you're ever in Hollywood with too much time and money on your hands I highly recommend a stop at Jumbo's. It's not your typical strip club. It has much more of a local bar feel and some very exotic women...and possibly one exotic tranny. After that we headed back to the house and partied until the sun came up. All in all it was a really fun night. The beating my wallet had taken that day didn't even bother me really.

But then!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
On the way home my car died on the freeway in Oceanside. Way too far away to get it towed to my favorite mechanic...Mark at Auto Haven. So I had it towed to a place the tow truck driver recommended and had Plaid come pick me up. Turns out it's going to cost $520 to get it running again...just about the same amount I spent over the weekend on stuff I didn't really need to be spending money on. Funny how things work out sometime huh? The funny thing is that the car thing isn't actually bothering me that much. I've gotten kind of immune to the swift little kicks life has been giving me over the last few years. What is bothering me is my living arrangement right now. "Huh? I thought you were happy with that?" you say. I was. I still should be. But I'm not. I can't help it. I don't think my brain is wired to live so closely with someone. That's just the way it is whether I want it to be or not. I'm not gonna say anything else because I haven't even really talked to her about it. She'll probably read this before I get around to it (hi sweetie:)

Anyway...I'm can't say I'm happy, but I also can't say I'm sad. I'm kinda numb. Moody for sure. I can't even form a thought when someone tries to talk to me...except for the thought that I don't want to talk.

Oh yeah...to top it off my fucking lips are chapped! I HATE that shit!
