I am death, destroyer of lawns.

I've been trying to think more positive lately. Not always an easy task for me. I'm not necessarily a pessimist, more of a... realist. I do have moments where I just wanna shout, "Screw you World!" and hide under the covers, but those moments are rare.

For example:

"I'm POSITIVE we will move out of this burning shit-hole and move to a place that has actual SEASONS!"

"I'm POSITIVE a better paying job will come my way WITHOUT me having to sell my soul to Satan."

"I'm POSITIVE mom will find a job that pays well and that she's actually HAPPY doing."

See where I'm going with this?

The farewell party we had on Friday went well. It was a little bittersweet, but pleasant all around. Everyone seemed to really enjoy the DVD my mom put together. She's been getting requests for copies.

Mom and I spent Saturday shopping mostly. I bought two pairs of shoes and about three books. Big surprise. We also saw Indiana Jones for the second time. It was a lot of fun. There was a trailer for Hellboy II before it. :DDDDDDDD

I bought a copy of Mario Party 8 and played some of it over the weekend. It's pretty fun. It's probably more fun with more people, but I had singular fun nonetheless. I was originally looking for MarioKart, but naturally I had zero luck. They sold out the day before... TT_TT

Sunday was church and our final Sunday night get-together. It was nice. While I'll like having my Sunday nights free (and having more of a chance to relax), I'll definitely miss everyone. There are plans for a group blogging project so we can all keep in touch. Sounds pretty cool.

There's still plenty of opportunities to give me a testimonial to update my profile. Let's keep 'em coming folks!

And I hope to God I'm not getting Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Ewww...

I would say come to michigan because of the seasons but the job market blows. But as another plus, itd be great for you to buy a house. The real estate market blows too, so a lot of people are going into foreclosure and that means super cheap homes to buy, or a lot of people are reducing their prices greatly so they dont go into foreclosure. Its great for buying, bad for selling. But good for you guys cuz youd be selling down there

Actually we wouldn't be selling anything since we rent, so...

I think Michigan might be a weeeee too cold actually. I know my dad'd be happy since he lives there, but he says the winters can be a bit brutal and I've lived here far too long to be able to withstand a Michigan winter.

Yeah, the weather has been really screwy lately. I think it's Global Warming myself...

I feel you on the hellish heat. This is the most miserable summer I've had so far, heat-wise, and that includes the summer I spent driving a car with no AC. I don't even really know what it is, but the dry heat of being away from the ocean and the fact that my apartment's cooling system sucks balls are definitely part of it. I just decided today that I'm going to get a short haircut because I can't stand the weight of my hair in this sort of heat.

There are days that I can barely go from my front door to my car without breaking a sweat. Going to the mailbox I feel as if I'm leaving puddles of myself behind. Ugh.

[flamika.livejournal.com]

Ugh, definitely know the feeling. And then there's the ever-popular damp-shirt-stuck-to-back sensation that we all love...

[snapdragon76.livejournal.com]

And all of this is made worse by the soul crushing humidity we have. Ugh.
