I win at journal keeping...

Not.

Anyhoo, it's been a somewhat interesting almost-two-months here.

Among other things, a couple friends have moved in temporarily because their landlord is dumb and obnoxious. So that's fun. Instant hanging out.

And I got to go to Hiawatha! Which was awesome, and fun, and I got to see people I hadn't seen in years. Too much sugar, too much smoke, too little sleep (though I got more than others), and still was the best thing I'd done all year. Erin had fun too, I'm pretty sure, but she's been busy with moving since we got back so I haven't actually talked to her since.

I don't know. Life is kinda weird right now. I'm really, really wanting to move out, but my best option for moving out is Christina and Heathe, and they've decided to move in with Christina's dad for a while to save money, re-build their credit and help family. Which is fine and dandy, really. And I can do the same if I can get a second job. I'm really glad I'm breaking even (more or less) with my library job, but I'd like to do better than breaking-even when I'm living with my folks.

And I would like to know what it's like to live by myself. Ooh, and I just looked at some more apartment listings, and there's one-bedrooms for $500 on the other end of town. With pets allowed and a fitness center. Hefty but one-time deposit for pets. All told, I'd need a deposit of $500 (+? does tax apply?) to move in. (For any who care, this is the place I'm considering. Looks okay to me.)

Since I'm only making a minimum of $448 at the library per month, I'd definitely need another job. But I need that anyway.

So, nothing has really changed. Stuff has happened, but not enough, I guess.

Still in a holding pattern.

Still hoping for better. I haven't been back to a Starbuck's, so I haven't gotten to turn in the application(s).


....and I'm just rambling at this point. I started this thing before I went to work, so I guess I should post it now, huh?

It's nice to read an update from you! I'm sorry to read that your job and housing situation is still frustrating, but it sounds like you're staying pretty positive. And you made it to Hiawatha! Must have been nice to be back in the U.P. I sure miss the place!

Meh. You learn to live with frustration.

I had a blast at Hiawatha. I got to go swimming the first afternoon (in my clothes, but still), and then it was nice and cool the rest of the weekend. Other people were cold, and I couldn't go swimming in Superior, but I was so grateful for the break from the heat I didn't whine about it too much.

So, has it been really hot out by you? It's been in the 80's here, which is a bit warm for my tastes.

[mis-creation.livejournal.com]

It's way hotter than I like. Most days it's been high 80s, 90s and even into the 100s a couple times. Waaay too hot for me.

Wow. Too hot! I thought it would be cooler in the mountains.
