The craziness that is my life right now...
I've been talking to my insurance company and their insurance company and playing phone tag and going insane basically. I still don't know how much I am getting for my car. I went car shopping with my parents for a while yesterday. They have a friend who sells used cars and he showed us a few. The only one that was really in my price range was red and had a spoiler. Anyone who knows me at all know I was not buyiny that car. The resulted in a short argument with my parents over how it is better to find a car that runs than one I like. No shit, but I am not driving a car with a spoiler. No fucking way. I also an extremely long lecture from my dad yesterday about responsibility. It went something like, "What you do with your life is normally none of our business but if we are going to co-sign for a car, then where the money is coming from to pay back the loan is something we care about. We need to know if you have a plan for getting a job and being able to pay for this...blah blah blah...." It went on much longer than that. It drove me nuts but at the same time, a voice in that back of my head was laughing because he sounded exactly like his dad! I probably would have pissed him off if I had told him though so I refrained. My parents are right about the responsibility thing. I have been unemployed for entirely too long. I've kind of been enjoying it though. I've gotten to sort out a lot of shit in my head and gotten to know myself again. Good stuff. So anyway, the car guy didn't have a car for me there but he might have one at another lot they have so he's picking it up for me probably right about now and I'm going to go see it. It looks good on a computer screen. Here's hoping.
I spent a whole lot of time job searching today. I only found one I was actually qualified for that was within 45 minutes of my house. I can't stand commuting. I turn into a very unhappy person when I have to be in a car for too long. Road trips are one thing, but when I am trapped in a care because I am doing something I aready don't want to be doing, that is just no good.
I talked to an old friend today. She fell off the face of the planet about 2 1/2 years ago. It was good to talk to her. She was one of those people that I was friends with at just the right time in my life. We both had relationships end about the same time and really needed a friend and we were there for each other. I like to think that people move in and out of our lives for a reason so I guess the universe didn't think I needed her anymore and she moved on. Wow, I sound kind of cheesy today.
Last night, I ordered a pizza all for myself. It felt good. I never do that. I ate pizza while I poked around on SG and wasted time. It was good stuff. Very relaxing and much needed after a day of stressful car shopping. Now that I think about it, I wonder if it would have been so stressful if I had been doing it with people other than my parents....
I'm trying to go visit ignatia in March. I am so excited. I miss her to death and I've never been to CA before. I just need to finalize which days I am buying tickets for and then call the airlines. I have to buy my tickets over the phone because I am not technically buying my ticket. I'm using the free one I got for giving up my seat two weeks ago. Pretty neat.
So this might be old news to other people (for all I know it was on the old one and I didn't notice), but I just updated my browser and the new edition of Firefox lets you customize the search bar at the top of the page. I put IMDB on there and now anytime I have a question about a movie, I don't have to go to the site; it's right there! The smallest things excite me. As Tammy said the other night...if only they could keep us happier longer.) I've been pretty easily amusable lately.
I finished reading the DaVinci Code and I have another book to start but I don't seem to be doing it. I love reading but I hate starting books. I don't know why. That also means I hate finishing books. As much as I want to know what is going to happen, I don't want to get to the end because that means there will be no more to read and I will have to start something else. Is that weird? Anyone else like that?
I think I may have written all of my random thoughts down now. If not, I'll come back and add to this stupidly long entry.

2) I'm thinking about reading DaVinci Code. It's not my type of thing, but it has been recommended to me. I'm not much of a long novel person.
3) I really think we need to take that excuse and meet. I would love to meet you! I'm messaging you through that new SG messager. (its going to be the first time i've used it.)
4) I read your entire journal entry. And it was long. I think I deserve a hug when we meet for doing so.
