lol. I so love that Orbit gum commercial. It's so totally profane but at the same time, it's not. lol. But that's not the reason why I named this blog like that. First off, I heard a new and disturbing rumor from Amber of all people (the big fat Amber of which I have limited to no contact with). Apparently she and my ex-roommate Matt had a falling out over something dealing with World of Warcraft (go figure), and he told her off over some stupid shit she was saying. So now to get back at him, she's systematically going through and destroying his relationships with his previous friends, claiming something that he said to disband each and every one of them. How am I involved? Well Matt called me and said that she claims that the only reason that Matt is even my friend at all is because he feels bad for me, and he's trying to gain pity points with other people by hanging out with a guy that's handicapped. Wow. That's low, isn't it? I mean I know. That's low, even for her, and that's hard to pull. Especially when I've spoken less than a paragraph to her over the course of the entire semester and now she thinks she knows everything about my relationships with my friends. Well I told Matt that's complete and utter bullshit, and that she doesn't know a damn thing she's talking about, which he already knows. But honestly, people say the ugliest things sometimes, trying to hurt somebody. And SHE has NO room to talk. AT ALL. If ya'll knew who I was talking about, you'd understand what I mean by that. Bigfoot has no competition. Put it that way.
So that's part one. Part two, as I'm getting ready for this move to DC, I've discovered some more interesting things about what's involved. And apparently I had no idea that it could be so costly! I mean I still have tons of things that I have to purchase for this damn trip! I've already bought the following:
2 new suit jackets, 3 pairs of pants, 5 polo shirts, two new belts, two new wheelchair tires, and two intertubes. I've paid for a copy of the transcript to get sent off to NASA and stuff. I paid my Altell bill, so that my phone will be on when I go to Maryland, and yet there's still a whole lot more to go, with only 9 days left to do it. I've still gotta get things like:
cologne, dry-cleaning, luggage, toiletries, a wheelchair cushion, a key (for the spokes), manicure, haircut, earrings, underclothes, entertainment, etc... so much involved. By the time I'm done shopping this whole preparation thing is gonna end up costing me about a thousand dollars. Yeah I know. It's a good thing I saved up. Otherwise, this would be a whole lot harder.
Speaking of saving up, I've decided what I'm going to do when I leave school next Spring. And the funny thing, the more I thought about it, the more realistic it becomes. It's not even that hard to imagine! After I finish school, I'll have about 10,000 dollars or more saved up in the bank, so I'm still trying to decide now if I want to go ahead and move into an apartment in the Pembroke area, next semester for a year lease, which would be paid off by financial aid, so that's not a problem. The pros and cons of the situation would say that while I have my own place in which to relax and enjoy at my leisure over Christmas and the holidays, I'd still have to pay to put food in it, and pay rent, and that in itself can be more trouble than it's worth. Either way, I'll finish out school in the Spring, and during next semester and the Spring, I'll be actively looking for apartments to move into, (and I'll be oogling DC while I'm there too) pay a down payment of a few thousand (6 months upfront is what I'm hoping), and then after graduation, UPS my stuff in a box, to my new apartment, take a flight out of NC, and be gone for good. Just that simple, with no coming back. It's kind of frightening, actually. It's actually coming closer. I just have to get through this next semester and the last one, and I'll be done forever. With school. Forever. Whoa. My head hurts thinking about it. I need to take an aspirin. Later.
