After being really considerate and leaving him alone for two days, I went to the bar and made a scene with T last night. Negative progress. I am running away home, where I will hopefully stay incapacitated by weed and immerse myself in the company of people who have problems worse than mine.
In other news, I am in incredible knitter. I am making these fiddly little baby socks and they look like they were dropped from the sky by an angel.

I am beginning a new sweater, a cardigan with yarn from a sweater I bought at Broad and Olney. I am super excited.

| I am updating! Isn't it funny? |

School is school, T is seeing some girl. As horrible as it made me feel, I have my incredible support system in place to help. So being ignored can't kill me.
I finally downloaded Mary T's Ex Hex (appropriate, no?) and I love it. If I were not trying to be very distant and hands off (even though it is killing me, tell him and die) I'd burn him a copy. It is really good, old school Mary.
Oh yeah, I am baby crazy. Go figure.
KATE ALBUM! If I am not healed by them I am sure it will do the trick.

I know I am too old to be saying this, but my parents are assholes.
I smell like fucking cigarettes. Many, many, smokes.

Mere and I drove back to Delaware last night at 3 in the morning, and we felt compelled to spend most of our toll money on late night nuggets and a cheeseburger.
Ahh, my parents house. Land of plentiful foodstuffs.

I miss you guys, and will be interacting a whole lot more soon because of my unemployed status. Looks like I will not be in school until the fall, (just missed the application deadline, although I will be sure to call and beg) so life is seeming pretty bleak right now. Perhaps I can work in a non-profit until then. This post-election letdown is kind of rubbing me the wrong way. Where is my positive attitude when I need it?

What is it, 26 days until the election? My whole being is tossed into the cause. I am very proud of myself because I feel as if I've made massive progress with my attitude. I have had 2 different people call me incredibly positive. Hearing stuff like that only makes me more sunny. Soon enough I won't even be able to live with myself. It is just so much easier to get though my days if i sport an upbeat attitude. My doors (the voters) benefit too. I like to think that one or two of the people who tell me they are voting for Bush will be so impressed with my ability to smile and thank them sincerely for taking the time to talk to me that they reconsider their voting patterns. Either way, I get to talk to multiple undecided voters every day and I know that having a friendly and interested face at their door can make all the difference.
Speaking with voters is a very strange thing. I have seen all kinds of suburban scum, democrats and republicans alike. By the end of the campaign I will have spoken to somewhere around 8,000 voters. I am psyched about Get Out The Vote, and having the chance to coordinate hundreds of volunteers into a smoothly running voting machine.
My personal life has been very empty. I am finished having days off, which is kind of scary. Carlos is pissing me off because although he has all the time in the world, moving in and unpacking is looking like too much of a pain for him to be concerned with, not to mention cleaning. I think that he is just in the habit of spending the majority of his time trying to pleasure himself in some way. Eventually, however, he will have to face the harsh reality of having to do stuff.
But enough with my negativity. See? Crazy, huh.
I'd still like to have some volunteers, if anyone can make some time we may be able to house you somewhere if necessary. It is so rewarding to be doing whatever I can to win this thing.

Yo. I am so busy. I am doing my best to ensure that Kerry takes PA. Today I got to go see Barack Obama at a rally for Joe Hoeffel. Check me out, right behind Dean's head.
We need volunteers all the time, so let me know if you would like to help out.

Ok, I have been working for lcv (www.lcv.org) I love it, even though it is long long hours. WE are being filmed for the NBC nightly news tomorrow, so keep your eyes peeled. Updates on my shirt color coming soon.
Also, I was an extra on elimidate, but that is gonig to air in December and be very embarrasing, between the free drinks and the limboing. I guess I will explain all that later.

So. I have been sitting here for freaking hours, trying to catch up on my friends list and shit. I can use my roomate's computer at home but it is just not the same. I need my own shit! I caught up with my nip/tuck, and I have the newest Naruto at home to watch. I am seriously broke but have been eating groceries (What is this world coming to? I am even cooking them!).
My roomate has an enormous tv. I have been drawn over to the dark side. I was one of those "How much better can hi-def look? Jeez!" people, but I have seen PBS in glorious widescreen detail, and I am not coming back.
My mummy came over to give me my new bank card (my old was left in a mac on Walnut, whoops!), so we went out to the neighborhood bar. She loved it, so hopefully I will see her soon. She convinced me to ride back to DE with he because her friend was irking the hell out of her.
Did I mention a cat came with the apartment? An illegal cat? Dawn and I love him but understand it is not meant to be, I mean, we can't afford it and do not want to make to sacrifices that come with pet ownership, but Carlos is in love. Thing is, we are not allowed to have pets and I surely do not want to lose my deposit over this. The cat's name is Awesome Trigger. Don't ask.
I wonder how my mom intends to ship me back. I am ready.

The new apartment rocks. Everything is coming together nicely, only I quit the canvassing job. Hopefully I will have a nice little job waiting tables this week. I came home to pick up some stuff. My parents house is such a shithole, it is like no one sweeps the fucking floor around here. Morgan runs wild without any kind of structure, she is a total brat and it is all their fault because they can't be arsed to be halfway attentive. I've been here for 5 hours and I am dying to get home.

Still in the process of moving.
Cats are sick.
Sister is still crazy, mom is still lame.
On the other hand, I found 205 dollars in my desk drawer. I may get to finish my new computer this month after all. I feel as if I need new makeup, too. New season and all, and I am seriously sick of using the same (smirk) 8 colors over and over again. But, I will feel really stupid at the end of the month if I am sitting in my new dazzling eyeshadow, starving and bored because I am broke. Perhaps I should allow myself two?

I had my second interview and first day canvassing with Clean Water Action. I loved it.

I thought this was funny because "fucking" was so high on the list, and "tattoo" is on it even though i don't have one. Must have been that nightmare with the shoddy Naruto tat that did it.
( word count results )
My mom says "That is sad, that you don't have realy friends to interact with". I do, Mom! They are just so expensive and I can't get rid of them by clicking on the upper right side of them! I keep trying!

Moving is stressing me out. Tomorrow I have a day working for Clean Water Action. I am very afraid. I just know I will hate it. You all know how passionate I am about the environment, but I will be going door-to-door getting signatures, donations, and asking people to write letters to their legislators. Bah. I was getting nervous about not being able to find a job waiting tables, so I just took this. I really believe in the cause, but I don't think this will pay all the bills. I hate bothering people at home.
Mere's ex came by yesterday all depressed and upset. He says they all have AIDS. Don't even try to console me, I don't believe it, but I also don't disbelieve it. I can't DO ANYTHING about it. He was trying to get me to break up her current relationship. I've been trying for a year. I figured it out, how she could be dumb enough to be able to stand him. She started smoking weed and taking lsd when she was 11. When she was about 14 or 15 she was heavy with ecstacy. Now, I don't think that weed causes irreparable damage to adults, but I wouldn't be surprised if it impeded natural development, and it would still be marginal damage compared to acid and e, which i think is the worst. So really I just think she broke her brain. The shitty thing is that Morgan takes after her so much, and if all the stupidity is natural than I may end up spending my whole life upset by my sisters.
Thank god I am moving. I'm sure I will have a whole different list of complaints next month.
I am buying a computer case (a cute leetle one) from Storm, so I can start filling it up. I have never had my own computer before, so this is pretty exciting stuff.
I have to get up at 7 to be in Philly tomorrow by 2:30. Stupid, huh?

The job hunt is not going so well. I have dropped my resume at about 5 places, all of which were not currently looking for people. In the process, we (my mom and I) have gotten two tickets, one for about $300, for blocking the intersection, and another $20 parking ticket. The intersection one was totally her fault, but I am paying the other one.
I do have an interview with these environmental outreach people on Monday but I am not excited at all because it is like door-to-door shit for less than 360 bucks a week. Thing is my friend Heather has been doing this for a while and is really psyched about it. I'd hate to bother people in their homes but since it is the environment we were discussing, I wouldn't feel so horrible. I am also considering a career dealing with ecology, so it would be good to have experience. Bottom line is, I need way more money than that to be comfortable.
There is no gutter on my parent's porch, so rain just pours off the roof into my purse and stuff. Morgan thought that silos, like grain silos, were called gutters. She had to say "Look at that gutter!" before she learned otherwise.
The little teeny kitten my mother found is loving terrorising our young cat Simon. He is a certified killer and it is so funny to watch him train the baby girl to fuck shit up. He spends a lot of time whining at the door to get out, while she hides behind the corner and ambushes him.
mistress_of_mad, this entry was because of you! I get so damn lazy about updating but your plea for entertainment was too much to handle! Hopefully I will have many juicy entries in the near future.

It is the most beautiful day of the year. Sun, but cool breezes and big fluffy gray clouds. That is all.

Still working the money-saving thing. Mom found a leetle kitten in the middle of the highway, she is adorable.
Dawn (the new roommate) is talking about sharing the big room with our friend Carlos. That would be wonderful. He works for the cable company so he gets free tv and internet, and he is an old friend of mine. I am all for anything that saves me rent money, as long as I don't have to share a room.
Job hunting this week. Molly cut my hair and it looks beautiful. I have never gotten so many compliments on a cut before. It was her first haircut, I am so proud of her.
