Arcade Fire – Maps (Yeah Yeah Yeahs Cover)
1. Things are pretty shit if I sat around and really tried to digest all the things that are going on right now. But I know that there isn’t anything I can’t get through.
2. Plans for next year look pretty daunting. Find a second or better paying job, getting my dental problems taken care of, moving out.
2a. My friend Gabby and I are planning to move out together sometime next year. We have begun actively searching for a place to stay (that won’t get us killed/raped/scammed and won’t cost a fortune since our jobs suck) but everything is sort of on hold until the end of December (to see if I still have my one job).
2b. A place to keep all of our shoes would be nice.
2c. Calculating our expenses is hard work u__u.
3. Oh yeah! Did I tell you that I’m headed off to Chicago, maybe New York (if Mindy’s couch is still available) early next year? I found out that I have a lot of vacation time racked up from work, and there is no better time than January to take a trip to Chicago to freeze my sorry ass off! I’ll be heading east with my good friend T* on the Amtrak :P
3a. He says that by the end of the trip, we will either become closer or end up killing each other. I’m thinking it’s a combination of both. What usually happens in my relationships with men (and this is with any male figure, not just the romantic ones) is that we’ll become too close and then all of a sudden, he’ll disappear. Too close, backing off. That kind of deal. I’ll talk about them for weeks on end until all discussion about them stops — usually because they’re no longer in my life. Except this time we’ll be stuck on a train and there’s nowhere to run. So the next logical step would be to kill each other.
3b. Makes sense to me?
I’m hoping by then we’ll actually have a new couch. The one we have is 25 years old and pretty lumpy but it doesn’t keep me from falling asleep on it on a regular basis with a cat on my arm.
