*i am the watch you always wear but you forget to wind*
brand new

i just had a tom moment. tom from college. i was leaving a voicemail for mike and i started going "blah blah blah bye" and it sooo reminded me of the messages tom would leave me freshman year.

so i got some good news before, my momma called me and she was like "i know you hate driving my truck, so i was thinking i would fix up the beretta for you" and i was like "YAY!!" it didnt pass inspection bc theres a hole in the exhaust, and the back tires are bald, and there is a tick in the engine.. the tick is prob just that i havent had my spark plugs changed in like 3 years. i need a tune up, bad. so she met this mechanic who is starting hiw own business, and she wants to give him business cos hes just starting out on hiw own (he owned a shop with a partner before, and this is his first solo venture).. the repairs will probably only cost like $500, so i cant afford it, but i could pay her back in installments. she said i wouldnt have to worry about paying her back at all any time soon. so i was pretty happy. its good to have a family member with money. growing up poor, living hand to mouth yr whole life, makes you really appreciate it when yr parents can financially help you out for the first time. i mean, my dad came through with money a lot for me, but i know he didnt have it, and he was only doing it because he cant say no. literally. my dad lacks the ability to say no, ever, and when he did when i was a kid, i would throw a FIT cos i wasnt used to it. but anyway. i grew out of that after i smacked him for not driving me to marks when i was 15, and he hit me for the first time in my life. but shes gonna do that this weekend, and she said when it was ready i could bring it to brooklyn! YAY! then candace and i could drive to the beach!! and go on weekend excursions!! and buy groceries en masse!! woohooo.

um.. so i went to pace today to get my transcripts mailed to the school i have an interview at. did i mention that? i got a call from northport high schools, and they want me to interview at laurel ave school! i think its a junior high, boo. but i think i could do that for the time being. anyway, at pace i ran into michelle crawley who i hadnt seen since candaces birthday. i talked to her for a minute, got the transcript crap taken care of, and came home. now i have to go to work. boo.

perhaps more later. michael is due over, so i might not. but i have enigma news (grr) and i will have to vent im sure. sooo.. until then xoxo.
