Blowin' in the Wind

What a week.

I finally got Rasta's awesome birthday cupcakes to him Friday. He ate pretty much all of them in a day. So they were well-received. He & I got into it Monday and everything has all pretty much come to a screeching halt. We'll still be friends I'm sure but that's going to be the extent of it. It's probably better this way, MC & Rock advised me against it in the first place but I was stupid.

Also, my house fell through. I found out the day before closing that there was a lien against it. Then the day of closing, found out there was a second lien against it. So no wonderful loft bedroom or bamboo floors for Angie. Not to mention I'm out AT LEAST $400, probably more, which totally pisses me off.

I am pretty down, but I'm trying to pull myself out of it. I spent a lot of money I shouldn't have on Wii-related things last week, and so I've been playing a lot of Wii.

I'm hella excited about Halloween. My costume is totally absurd & wonderful.

There's a lot I could say, but I'm not in the mood.

Today is Rasta's birthday. He took the day off work. Happy birthday Rasta!

Hopefully I will see him later. That remains to be seen, since he is either still asleep (!) or not answering my messages. I hope he's still asleep. He needed a break, and while one in the middle of the week is less than ideal, it's still a break.

I haven't been able to motivate myself yet this morning. I kicked ass Monday & Tuesday, I should have known. PLUS since I'm off Friday this is like my Thursday, and we all know what Thursdays do to me!

I have had literally no free time lately it seems. And add to that that I've been sick & not keeping food down, and I've been quite stressed. Then add to that Rasta being weird, and I just give up.

House things are falling into place, which is good, but I am frazzled. First off is the fact that once I move in I have no idea how I'll be getting to work for a month or so until I get a license. Which will be just in time for the icy treacherousness that is 210 Hwy in the winter. Then there is the fact that I won't be able to get painted/recarpeted before I move in like I had hoped.

Highlight of my weekend - David Byrne in KC:

Probably the coolest show I've ever been to. He is so amazing. I love him.

Besides that we also went to Em Chamas, Knuckleheads, & Ameristar, all of which are always good. Saw a lot of Krista & Dane & Zeke which was a nice change. Lost my money at the boat. I much prefer Argosy.

I've been super busy at work. Rasta has basically stopped contacting me at all. Generally he will answer my text messages but that's about the extent of it. I don't know if I did something, or if he's bored with this, or if he's just also stressed. I know everybody I'm close to seems like they're having a bad time of it lately. It sucks. His birthday is tomorrow and I am making him something for it. Also giving him an inappropriate gift. Except who knows if that will even happen, any of it... It's getting frustrating. I am thinking I will stop sending him messages and just wait and see if he tries to get a hold of me at all. I have a lot on my plate to be the only person making an effort. Granted, everybody wins in the end when we do get together...I still think though that with this whole 'friends with benefits' thing, even if we aren't having the benefits we should both make an effort to maintain the friends part...Bah. I dunno.

I can't wait for Halloween. I ordered the rest of my costume yesterday. :D I think we're going to be the most badass Spice Girls ever. Even more than the real Spice Girls.

So at first I was not sure I liked this song, but I totally love it now. (Unfortunately it's not on imeem yet...)

A day late and a dollar short on posting this, but... Presidential Debate Drinking Game. Hehe...

So the debate was, in my opinion, quite a breash of freth air. Watching McCain squirm made me a little bit happy. It's sad, because I really don't hate the guy, but I hate Palin SO much that it just kind of carries over. Obama rocked it out. There were a few times where McCain might have had the upper hand but as a general statement, McCain I'd say...


My house got appraised yesterday, and it was the FHA appraisal so in theory it should be low-end. And it was $13,000 more than I'm paying, so that makes the Angie mucho happy. Now I'm shopping for insurance and getting a couple of other things squared away, and next Friday it shall be MINE. And Derek's, of course.

Today is a busy day at work but it's Thursday, which means my attention span is completely shot. Had lunch with Rock at Yellow/Planet Sub. I always get this sandwich that sounds really good, but isn't that good. The Pesto Bello. I love portobello mushrooms & pesto! What is the deal!? I think I decided today it's the bread.

Basically everyone at work is wearing blue today. Weird!

One more reason to love Roland Martin! :)

Today, I killed my Wing. And then resurrected it from the dead. Now I love it more than ever. Yesterday I tried to overclock it. It worked well for those 12 or so hours...And chances are I will attempt this again. Because that's how I roll.

Got plane tickets today for my Halloween trip to Chi-town. I meant to do this at the end of last week, when they were still super cheap, but I spaced it off with all of the house hubbub. So today I get on to look for them and they are $219 at the least. Not much, but $80 more than last week! Finally, I got them for $180 on StudentUniverse. They are so hit or miss, but it seems like they always come through for me when I'm very desperate, and isn't that when it really matters?!

My costume is coming together nicely, too. I've got some pleather leopard print pants now. Ohhh yeah.

I have to write a letter declining a termite inspection, and I don't really know how to go about that. I guess I'm making it into a bigger deal than it actually is, and I can probably just write like 2 sentences and sign it. I'm such a noob at all of this!

Tonight I really need to catch up on homework. I've fallen so far behind with all the other stuff going on! ...But I'd rather see Rasta! :)

I've been in a Genesis mood today. So guess what!!

Apparently I am a predator now. What's bad is I think I'm okay with it. ;)

Hung out with Rasta again last night. It was my new favorite hanging out. It's a good thing, I think, if I enjoy each time more than the one before. Played some Soul Calibur. I am determined to get good at that game. I need to win. I love winning.

I love fall. I have been drinking seasonal beer & seasonal coffee drinks, and these things make me quite happy.

Is how I've felt lately. I was doing well with losing weight when I first got back from school. I'm not sure what happened there... I would say it's largely because I've been SO busy that the times I have to eat are brief and so I have to eat quick food, which is almost always beige and rarely of any nutritional value.

New closing date for the house: October 24th. I am pretty darn excited. I took Gronlicia there to see it and they liked it...Or said they did. I keep finding out more work I am going to have to do, but that's alright!

So I hung out with Rasta last night. It was my favorite of all the hanging out so far, I think. Instead of watching a movie or anything like that, we just chatted about random things (such as Hitler?). It was nice; I enjoy his company quite a lot. And other things too. :D ...But still not the Angry White Boy music!

Yesterday I was a bitch to basically an entire department here. It was deserved, though. Today they are all being crazy nice to me. It makes me laugh. They are changing a bunch of procedures around (right before peak? Is that wise?) and so I am observing to see how the numbers are affected by these changes and I didn't realize I would have to be over there again today. Oh well, it's all good. :)

So after e-mailing A23 about this, she said to just laugh about it and not be too proud to admit that I was being crazy. Which I did already. Also, she said he should be flattered. And I think I agree! So I'm not going to stress about it. But I would really like it if he would acknowledge me at all. I tried to find him earlier with no luck. So I shall try again later. Bah!

I saw the grossest thing on the way to work - there was a scruffy dog eating a deer carcass in the middle of the road. It didn't even budge when cars were going by. It was really... apocalyptic, if you will...Ew.

If anybody knows where to find cheap cheetah/leopard print shorts and a cape, let me know. :)

I was going to give you a bonus second song for today, but couldn't find it on the site. Check out Feist - The Limit of Your Love. Good stuff.

Update: Rasta is fine. I really was just being a girl. Good news and bad I guess!
