Today is my last day of working for someone else. I have 108 miles to go before turning in this truck. I'm then renting a car, getting a hotel room for the night, and going to Connecticut for a week.

And, assuming all of the repairs and such I demanded are complete... I'll go pick up my new old truck and begin working for myself.

I'm really excited for you. smile

This is so fucking cool. You know it. Good luck with everything. Have a good weekend, xo.

Ok here is the scoop, kiddies. I realize that not everyone on this website has the age necessary to have been able to see the original Star Wars (aka Episode 4, "A New Hope") in the theatres. And even I was only 5 at the time. To be honest, my most vivid memory of it was the long lines at the theatre... and the subsequent...

When I was still young and single, I wanted so badly to have a job that required me to travel. I lived on Maui, and wished I could get a job on a boat, working my way across the Pacific.

Then I fell in love. blackeyed

I heard R2D2 had a kick ass part in the new flick. I just hope Yoda has a great part too.

Cause he is motherfucking yoda and shit.

I'm currently a major in Political Science, which I'm finding to be very very dry, and I know I would get bored with a career in that field.

So here is where we stand. Friday I signed the lease (yes, a lease) agreement for the new used truck. There is both good news and bad news about this, which do you want first?

Bad? Ok then. The bad news is that if I make all 30 of my monthly lease payments on this truck, I will pretty much be paying twice what I...

Today I had the good fortune to be working relatively close to the dealership that I'll be buying my truck from. AND I had a little bit of extra time. I stopped by to take a close look and drive it a bit. I will say that it's a bit of a "beater". There is litterally nothing special about it. It needs a few mechanical...

Fuck growing old and time is part of the problem.

Reading more is actually on my to do list... I got a couple of other things on there too but I'll try and take it slow, it's stupid to think you can change things at once, I'll just try and change in my own speed. So it's soon weekend, what do your weekend look like?

While driving Sunday, I hit so many bees with my truck that when I got out to fuel up, I could litterally smell honey while standing in front of the radiator grill. Seriously. It was pretty cool. smile

Monday is (once again) supposedly the day I'll get a yes or no from this truck dealership in Detroit. We'll see what happens.

EDIT: Yes! They finally fixed...

Hah! Have you seen the trailer for the new PIXAR movie "Cars" when one of the cars get a bug in their mouths? So cute!

I have a old weird man as a driving teacher. He annoys me. It's going to be a long month, nine lessons to go that I have already paid for. I had such a bad night before my first driving lesson too, I woke up 3 AM all fucked up from weird night mares, hello cold sweat. And bad PMS. I just felt so strange, my throat hurted ALOT I cant understand why... it was weird, enough said. Hope you're feeling better than I am. ARRR!!!

It's cinco de mayo and things are good. Every time I hear the phrase "cinco de mayo" now I am reminded about that Dell commercial with the guy calling tech support at all hours. And I've never even seen the commercial, I only hear it on my satellite radio when I'm listening to CNN or Court TV or whatever.

But I digress...

I have some...

So what kind of alternatives do you got at the truck stops is it that bad that you think it is or? I mean, you eat meat and all so I guess you got alot more alternatives than I would have thats for sure even if I had to start eat fish cause I'm really allergic to soy protein.

How long will you be home?

I was at the driving school earlier today and booked some lessons for next week, I'm a little bit nervous about that. Ok, I guess it will go fine but... anyway. blackeyed blush
severus:
Yeah I meant 35 000 something $ as the cheapest thing you can get, and then you'll have a high rent to pay each month anyway + all the other bills...+ it's a really SMALL place. + no student can afford it, no way. Sweden is a pretty expensive country to live in too.

I'm glad you liked the movie, tell me what you think of My life as a dog later.

It's been raining all day, I've been driving... hanging out with my grandmother and my 2 year old cousin which are the only relatives I can stand ha ha... on Monday I'll do my first city driving. I have to take care of some laundry too... god is it boring.

We'll see what happends on Monday for you, let me now. xo!

"How 'boutcha west-bound, whad'ya leave over your shoulder?"

"East-bound, you got a full grown in the middle at the 115 watching your side, a polar bear rolling your front door at the 136, and your coops were locked up."

"Copy that, west-bound. You're lookin' good back to the line. You had DOT in the pickle park and the Buckeye was rollin' you across."

no. see my journal for more information about why that is...
severus:
thanks for the journal support man =) and arent you a kind fella giving your friend a lap top, and i also know what you mean sometimes it just seem like to much work to sell something and a friend can have it instead. dont send any computer this way though because they dont work in sweden you know we got different electricity systems and all that, otherwise i'd take anything because in a couple of weeks my brother has to give this lap top back to his school which he has rented it off for one year and then we're... well, outta here. my brother is pretty pissed of not going to be able to play his games ha ha... whatelse. we looked at computers earlier but they are so expensive my brother may take from his savings to get one though because he really dont want to be without a computer. i need to repair my statinary computer in the south it makes horrible noises and feels like it's going to melt down soon or something. enough about those damn computers..

the sun is shining outside, woho! havent seen the sun in days so i'll go out soon, i'm a bit tired cause i stayed up late with an old friend who hung out here last night we talked for five hours, catching up...

i definitly think you should try every possibility i mean, nothing to lose right? so you're going home tomorrow, sounds like you need it, what kind of supplies do you take with you?

Tonight I am in the (supposedly) biggest truck stop in the world. I imagine this claim to fame is made based on the number of parking spaces. And I admit I have never before seen a truck stop that offered over 800 parking spots for big-trucks.

The $10 buffet here is completely average. The Wi-Fi connection is giving me a "Very Low" signal and thus...

Yeah if he was rich he would. He's a sweetheart but it's enough to keep up with rent and bills and food. It's pretty expensiiive in Sweden. Norway is even more expensive, for us that is, they make much more money there thats way swedes often go there and work for a year or so and then they can live off the money or go travel. Another cloudy day here but at least no rain. I woke up a little while ago and I'm on my way downstairs to get some brunch or something.... my hair looks so funny, it's straight up on my hair ha ha I need to wash out the hairdresser products. I'm sorry you couldnt see any KC peeps that would have been great, maybe next time right. kiss

Lovely Rita meter maid,
May I inquire discreetly,
When are you free,
To take some tea with me?

Took her out and tried to win her,
Had a laugh and over dinner,
Told her I would really like to see her again,

Got the bill and Rita paid it,
Took her home I nearly made it,
Sitting on the sofa with a sister or two....

you are totally right about me needing my own lap top but that will never happend unless i win at some stupid lottery or play on horses or something. and i don't. i really, really need one if i get into this school because then i will need to be able to.. aaaa i dont even want to think about that, it's just not going to happen. the computer. i'll try to just do work anyway, fuck money i hate it. sweden has become so silly, i dont know anyone under 30 with a real job. and you cant get an apartment either, and more and more young people are forced to live at their parents, and that suck.

i have to move back to my parents house if i get into that school here. there is no way i can get my own place. the politicans are fucking up a system that used to work but now it just work for rich people. oh, ranting ranting... sorry about that.

i've had a pretty active day, considering it's a Sunday and all. been to alot of stores, checking out the 1st May demonstrations.. the workers day, photographed a surreal cat exhibition cause it was one in the building next to a fleamarket my mom visited to get some thrillers for my grandmother.

she reads insanely many books and always want new ones... ha ha. fleamarkets are great for that. i'll get her some new books for her 79 th birthday coming up soon. now i'm waiting for my long long hair to dry, it takes forever. tomorrow the hairdresser is going to cut it off, alot. not too short but i need to do something with it... miao!!
severus:
damnit, i wrote you a message and it just dissapeared. well, i hope you're having a good day. i did. finally got my hair cut and i like it, love it.

It's good you keep your spirit up, thats all you can do and it means alot. But I really wish your company could stop being so silly about this cat thing, can they REALLY explain why? I just dont get it. What do they think the cat's gonna do? Destroy the truck? Haha that's just stupid. Gah. skull

The sun is shining, I'm waiting for my clothes to get dry, I'm going to practise my driving this weekend, and I'm getting a haircut on Monday. That's my huge plans. eeek
severus:
I see, well I wish they could make an exeption for you and your kitty. Maybe you SHOULD threat them a little I don't know, do you think you'll be able to find a place for your kitty to stay? I sure hope so.
Sophieville, mmhm. I'd love to go there too=) Instead I'm going out on the countryside to drive more, great to learn how to drive out there, and I'll get to see my dear grandmother too. I'd better go to sleep now actually it's after midnight and we leave early tomorrow morning. Good night from me.
ARRR!!!
