Shields of Paper

If you have a book you want me to read, tell me here. I'll read it and perhaps I'll write about it along with my own books. That or ask me something, it matters not. I like talking to strangers.

Yeah, it’s time for a new car.

I mean, she’s lasted me like 2 years, but she’s old and falling apart. And I simply can’t keep spending this much money on her. I’m better off getting a replacement. Hopefully I can afford a decent one in a month and a half or so. It’s going to be a bitch, but this is what I’ve been saving for. And it’s one step closer to moving.

I’m finally getting serious!

Basically I’m going to stop playing around and actually actively look for a job. Up until now, I would do one or two applications a week, but I was being purposefully picky and wouldn’t call places because I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to do the job.

I’ve called half a dozen places in the last 15 minutes, did one online application, and am filling out a paper one.

It’s more than just needing money (even though I really really really need money). I need to be able to prove to myself and others than I can survive and support myself all on my own. That I’m not just a little kid stuck in an adult body.

…Not to mention I need new tires for my car to make sure I can keep making my monthly 5-hour drive to see a certain Cuban.

Getting my car today!

I’m going to go do the notary and pick it up in an hour or so.

OH! This is exciting!

So one of my best friend’s since I was 12 is getting married. She’s moving to Iowa or Missouri or something. I dunno.

ANYWAY. Her dad, my old pastor, is selling her car. A ‘92 Oldsmobile Cutlass. The gas gauge doesn’t work, nor does the a/c, and it has 110k miles on it… But it’s $500. And my pastor of 9 years isn’t going to purposefully rip me off like that.

I’m talking about it with my parents, getting some info on the car. I’ll be honest, I absolutely don’t mind a piece of shit for my first vehicle, as long as it lasts a while til I can afford something better. I deal with no a/c in my parent’s van anyway, and it’s so old that it has a cassette player which I think is better since I can buy one of those things to plug my mp3 player in through that and have no hassle.

Not to mention I could move out so much sooner and easier if I have a vehicle. I need this to work out.
