From alli to seraph via absolution and bedroomdancing…too easy.

O. K. if you look at your profile, you can see what # user that you are. For example for this profile, I am the 37827 user to sign up (Although with my other journals, I am 3419 and 8986). I know that Brad is User number 1. Who’s number 2? Eli is number 10; blythe is 1898; evan is 1571; Erik is 14. So I’m just curious who #2-#9 are….

Actually, trying to frost this cake has shown me how my frosting skills have detonated from the time I worked at Baskin Robbins. I wonder if I could even manage borders and writing on it if I had the frosting available. Forget about roses, I was never able to make frosting roses; they were always limp and flat looking.

Just finished baking a cake. It’s out of the box and stuff but it felt good to do that again. I an galaxy far, far away once upon a time, I wanted to be a pastry chef.
Anyway, it is a Devil Food Cake with Creamy Chocolate frosting. I think I bought all of this chocolate when I wanted to binge about a month ago. Anyway, while baking it, I remembered that I need to bring something for Reformation class cause we are having a pot luck tomorrow. So I think that I will bring it is and call it something stupid like, “This cake is so chocolately, that I should go and confess to an Inquisitor” or something along those stupid lines.
O. K. I need to check my mail and get back to editing my paper.

One of my guilty pleasures is watching Pro Wrestling. And the WWF is going to be at the Cow Palace next month. Actually they will be in the Bay on Monday, but I still have finals to study for. Justin, my roommate, is going. I think that he has a suite. POOP. Anyway, I wont have money to go.
O. K. Back to the paper…

If this episode has taught me anything, it’s that I still have more to do when it comes to my finances. I have curtailed the outlandish spending that I had in my earlier years. I still probably spend more than I should, esp. on eating out and stuff. And when I get depressed, I still sometimes go out on a mission to spend. But usually I just end up agonizing over it and don’t buy. And I do shop the bargain bins first before I look at the regular stuff. So I have matured somewhat, but I still have a long way to go. I mean, I should have more money in my saving. Maybe I shouldn’t have brought a new computer. But I justify that by the fact that my parents need a new computer and I want a computer that won’t go out of style in six months to a year. (Speaking of, I wish that the new parts would get here so that I can give them to Jason.) Anyway, I still have much more to do. One thing is the AOL account. I have it, but it is under Suzanne’s name and she uses it. I’m thinking about canceling it and having Eric make an account on the account that my dad has for him. That would save me a little money every month. Grocery shopping is another thing where I can pinch some pennies. I spend quite a bit on food, but I usually get stuff that is either frozen or non perishable. Still I end up throwing stuff away every couple of months. I have controlled myself from caving in to the buy one, get one free syndrome at Safeway. I look at the stuff and think about if I really need to get twice the stuff and if I’ll be able to eat it. The thing that I really need to do is start making my lunch. My problem is that I procrastinate and go to sleep when I should make my lunch for the next day. So when I am late in the morning, I don’t have lunch and have to get money out of the ATM for lunch.
I don’t know about the rest of the nation, but fast food, like Burger King and McDonalds is fucking expensive in the SF Bay Area
This episode has also made me realize that I need to go to Consumer Credit Counseling and get a credit report. I know that it is fucked up, but I’ve been afraid to look at it and see just how fucked up it really is. I need to make sure that everything is paid off and start trying to rebuild it.
O. K. back to the paper

Well, I’m not the only one who is having a problem with financial aid and Centennial Village. Someone from the Cashier office is going to make some calls and see if the University will give me a loan for the amount due. Rob didn’t say anything about talking to anyone from Centennial Village though. I guess they haven’t called back. The biggest thing that I am worried about is the eviction notice. If they go that route, then I don’t see any choice but to go to court. Tomorrow, I need to either call or go downtown to the places that the Rent Board suggested that I go to. **sigh** Perhaps the tiger will land on his feet yet.
Anyway the paper is going well, perhaps too well. I have over the 10+ pages that I need. But a lot of it is quotes and stories that I am cut/pasting on. I need to trim a lot of them and add more of my own thoughts into the paper. And I still need to incorporate the books that I got from the library.

Rob just called and he is setting up a three way with me and someone from the cashier office. I am getting butterflies….
I should not have had that French Vanilla Frothe….poop
Current mood: scared
Current music:

Went and saw Rob…he is on the prowl talking to people about my situation. A relief on my part. I guess there are not a lot of Centennial Village supporters on campus. I am hopeful that Rob will be able to work something out for me.
Went to the library to see if I could pick up some books on lynching. Lucky me I was able to pick up some. I don’t have time to read them completely, but I should be able to skim them and find some cases to quote.
Also the network is back up, so I can go to the web site and look at the sources in regular text. The pages that I saved that were scanned are too blurry to read.
O. K. Time to fix some lunch. I’m thinking popcorn. 😛
P. S. Have a good time babein L. A. at the wedding. I’ll see you when you get back.
Current mood: hopeful

Well, Matt finally called me to let me know that I didn’t get approved; I kinda figured as much. So what to do now…I figure that if I start working 40 hour weeks, which is what I was going to do, I can make 2 rent payments and so I would be able to cover my rent for the summer and could start paying back the rent that I owe. That’s if they let me do that. I’m also thinking about getting a second job on the weekends. I don’t want to go back to Baskin Robbins or anything. But a little extra money would be nice, especially now. **sigh** My paper is going slowly cause the network is down and I’ve been waiting for Matt to call, so I couldn’t go on dial up. I think that I will take a shower and then go see Rob and get my paperwork back. Maybe later I will call one of the numbers that the Rent Board guy gave me to set up a meeting. And I still need to get my license agreement in too. Don’t know how I’m going to sneak that in. **sigh** I need to focus on finishing this paper and for the rest of my finals. Not dealing with this crap.
