Video of the week

Papa Roach - Last Resort

I made the decision this week to move back to NM. Even though not one piece of me wants to do it, I know I need to do it in order to go to school and save some money. So, I'm doing it. When I think about living in NM again, one song comes to mind. This is it. Now don't take this literally and think I'm thinking of killing myself, because I'm not and never would. That's weak. But just the thought of living there again take me about as close to that feeling as I'll ever be. So, I just have to set very specific goals and a time line for myself while I'm there to keep myself sane. #1 Go to school. #2 Word hard. #3 Save money. I'll write more about it tomorrow. Goodnight.

E-mail

Ok, I just got the funniest e-mail ever from First. We e-mail back and forth pretty much all day every day. Which shows how exciting our jobs really are. So, for the past couple days he's been saying I still owe him from our bets that we made. I told him I more than paid off my bets when he came. I did everything he told me to do, and them some. He said no, that he still has some left over, which is wrong because in the heat of the moment he forfeited the rest of them and said to do with them what I please. So I did. Now he wants to collect. I told him if he really wants it that bad he can come visit me again. Then he started complaining because he came to see me last time, so he thinks I should make the trip to Phoenix this time. I told him it's not gonna happen, so he got all hurt. So... that's the conversation we're having and he sends me this e-mail:

"How do you even have friends? You got to be the meanest lady I have
ever met. You don't repay bets, you make grown men cry, what kind of
devil spawn are you?"

I could not stop laughing.

Almost Friday

It's almost Friday, thank god. I'm so over this week. Work is still going fine. My boss asked if I'd be interested in a full time position, so I told him yes of course. He didn't get into any specifics, but the fact that he asked that and I could see the wheels turning in his head I took as a good sign.

Patterson now has this website, so I checked it out and sure enough he got a few little digs in, knowing that I would read it. It didn't offend me in the least, I actually thought it was funny. He also e-mailed me again because when I responded to his first e-mail I asked him what he's doing, if he's working or anything. He said no (big surprise), but get this! He said "I'm not working now because I don't have to. I may eventually get a job, or maybe pursue a hobby." Wow. That's attractive. He acts like he's a millionaire or something. He gets like $1000/month from the Army and he's perfectly happy getting that, living off his aunt, and playing Everqueer all day. I'm really kicking myself for letting him go.

My brother has been going through a really nice phase again, so it's been a lot more pleasant at home. Right now I'm just really focusing on figuring out what my next step will be so I can get out of there. My options right now are to either save a little money and rent a room from someone on Craigs List, or move back to NM and in with my sister. They both have pros and cons.

New Mexico
-Pros-
Being around my sisters, brother, niece and nephew all the time again.
Being able to go back to school.
Catch up on bills, and be able to put away some savings.
Not have the finacial stress I have here.
-Cons-
Being defeated. Feeling like I failed out here.
Living in the same city as my parents
Less opportunity
It's boring. Nothing to do besides movies, bowling, malls, and drinking.
Risk getting "stuck" there again.
Having to face old ghosts.

California
-Pros-
Duh, it's California!
It's beautiful
There's always something to do
My brothers and friends are here
There's a ton of opportunity
It's far from my parents, and all their drama.
-Cons-
The cost of living is outrageous.
I can't go to school because all I'll have time to do is work to pay bills.
I'll never be able to pay off old debt.
I can't put anything away in savings.
I'll never be able to make enough to buy a house here on my own.
I never have extra money.
My brothers are talking about moving to NM in the near future, and I would be the only one here.

I'm sure there's more, but that's all I have time for now. This is killin me! I'll figure it out though. I just hope it's sooner than later.

My gift

On Friday I came home from work and hear my brother ask his wife who the box is for that's sitting by the door, she tells him it's for me. So I go see what it is and it's from Army. I was like what the...? I definitely wasn't expecting anything from him so I was totally surprised. I open it up and it's this...



I can not tell you how excited I was! Now, I'm the most appreciative person in the world. You can give me a bag of beans and I'll be happy just because you thought of me and took the time and effort to give me something. So when I got this I was SO freakin excited. I mentioned in one of my posts that he got to go home on leave from Iraq for 2 weeks for Christmas to spend time with his family in Washington, well while he was home we were talking about something, I don't remember how it came up... anyway, I mentioned that I love fountains. Especially the kind that has the mist coming out of it. I think they are so pretty, and they're just relaxing to watch. Next thing I know he sends me one. He also sent a couple different aromatherapy oils to put in it. How freakin nice is that??? There was a little note on the top that said "Just because... love, your soulmate" So I wrote him this long e-mail saying thank you a million times and how much I love it. It was just an awesome feeling getting that from him, and for no special occasion. It definitely made my day, week, month even!
