Around the World in Many Years

And, I'm off in the morning. My car has so much I should do with it....but I'm cutting corners in order to get there. Lets just hope I cut the right corners. o.o I'll make it somehow....someway. I have to. There is no choice.

Once I get there, and get settled, I'll let everyone here know how it went. Just another story to add to the events of my life. -_-

"There is no such thing as useless information."

Tick....tock....tick....tock. @.@

I'm getting impatient, counting the days that I can at least begin my journey east. Too far away...11 days....I might be living in my car a week early too, since there seems to be a huge mis-understanding between the landlord and his son. But I'm good with it. I've been talking almost every night with Heather; its been the highlight each time, though I don't think I ever tell her that. >.>;
Haha, sometimes I'm just enjoying listening to her voice, and not saying anything. ^_^;;; I need to stop that, hard to hold a one-sided conversation.

She's awesome though, makes me want to go up there sooner. I guess this means I'm no longer afraid of what will happen, or maybe I'm far beyond sick of this place now.

Work keeps getting better though, I'm enjoying it more and more. There is nothing going on really, so we're socializing and eating cookies (I'm doing most of the cookie eating. ^_^) talking about completely random things. I'm not sure who I'll miss more, Arkansas, or here. In Arkansas, I had friends to do things with afterwards, which I don't have here. But the work environment here seems to be of a calibur I prefer over the one in Arkansas. Hard decision, I guess I'll find out after I've been away a couple months. o.o

Tick....tock....So long of a wait, but soon! VERY soon.

"Giant people with pumpkin skin paint....without clothes." - Vaolele talking about, perhaps the most horrific costume on Halloween.

Hmm.....

Its nice to have food at home.....but I'm not used to it. I ate too much, and am now at work with a stomach ache, though thankfully its receeding. Though I didn't get much sleep either. I found a very compelling graphic adventure game that quickly drew me in. ^_^;;;

Uhh.....I'm feeling torn. Moving is coming up, nothing is set still. I'm still licenseless, the apartments have turned me down because I have no credit, and the hotels in that area are franchise, so I won't have a job when I get there. Sometimes I wonder if I'm doing the right thing. Will it work out for the best? Or will another Florida unfold? -_-
I've already made my decision though, I'm going to Indiana regardless of what happens. Though what happens afterwards, I don't know. In all honesty, I'm scared, nervous, near tears. I think thats part of the reason for my stomach ache. Probably also the same reason I went and bought a bunch of games yesterday ($286 in total) perhaps in an attempt to distract me. Overall, its working....but I know that as time draws closer, unless SOMETHING stabilizes itself, I'm going to constantly grow more and more nervous and scared. Even Heather's calming voice isn't having as long a lasting effect. >_<

Not to mention that everything is blowing up around me here as well...so I've got little choice left. Maybe someday I'll escape this demon that seems to besiege my attempt at a successful life.

"If you know the art of taepu, you can get a poot-noot."

Thats it. I offically hate fridays. -_-

Last Friday was when I was supposed to take the behind-the-wheel test. As usual, my friend flaked on on me AGAIN. So now I'm pulling different strings to try and get this issue resolved. Now, after that, I had to go in to work at my second job for the first time. ^_^

I was hoping that'd be some good news....I was wrong. -_- Sure, the job itself was fine, but getting there was hell.

Its 10 miles away, I biked it. Down an interstate, in the country (read: it had a lot of hills), and no shoulder on the side. I veered down into a ditch once, because the car didn't seem to care/notice that it was about to run me over. >_>
And, about halfway through, the bag that was on the handle, carrying my work uniform (I wasn't about to get it all sweaty. o.o) was cumbersome. And when the front wheel stalled, nobody told the rest of the bike, and it leapfrogged over the front tire. Of course, I went face first into the pavement in front of me, the bike landing on me. Joy.
I dust myself off, and check the front tire, to see what happened. There was this reddish rag caught in the top of the tire. After a little fighting, I manage to break it loose. What I had assumed was an oil rag that I somehow ran over (Never saw it on the road) turned out to be my work uniform. What had happened was the bag that was carrying the uniform got caught in the front tire, tore open, and yanked the shirt and apron out. So much for keeping my work uniform looking nice. -_-
So, I stuff the shirt in one pocket of my pants, the apron in the other, and get back on the bike. Because of that, my ribs are bruised from the constant battering of wadded clothes. >_<
I get to work, work is decent. Get trained and stuff. ^_^ Then I get ready to go home.....remember that country road? There were next to no street lights. There was still the occasional car though! And I fell into a ditch on more than one occasion. o.o
Afterwards, I couldn't even walk, I was bracing myself against the bike off and on. And as per California hospitality. Noone helps, too busy worrying about themselves. I can't wait to leave. ^_^

Yes, I've decided. I'm moving to Indiana. I'd much rather have someone special in my life, than adventure. Though I hope this doesn't blow up in my face. >_>;;
Oh well, at least I'll be happy for a little bit. ^_^;

And now....friday is back....just a little bit worse. I came in to work yesterday at 3pm. I won't be home until Saturday. I'm working straight through. o.o
Yay, and another bike trip on the way too.....I really wish I could find another job closer.

"F.A.R.T., its what gets you to work." - Phillip, talking about the old acronym for Bay Area Railroad Transit. (Fresno A.R.T.)

Whooosh.....Yeah. O.o

A lot of interesting things have been happening lately, mostly negative, some positive.

Its offical that I'm moving, although be it Indiana or United Kingdom, I have been unable to come to a conclusion. My heart is torn almost evenly both ways, and neither option seems to be receeding. (Though I don't hope that either of them does....it would just make things simpler if one did. @.@)

On other news, I have a new roommate! BOOOOO! This one is awful. Has a 3 yr restraining order against him from his ex-girlfriend....and many other charges. O.o Not to mention I finally broke down and bought food....the day before he arrived.....and he ate it ALL. -_-
So, in protest, I'm not going to pay rent this month....which means I'll get kicked out by next month or so....which is OK, I plan on moving anyway...so....Whee!

Driver's test on Friday, everyone says they aren't closed for Regean's death, which will be good cause I badly need my wheels with a 1 1/2 hour mostly uphill bike ride to my new job. >.< But at least I start at $7.50/hr! So the extra money will come in handy. o.o For whatever I decide.

And I'll end it there, the rest is still being sorted and categorized. O.o

"I bumped redail with my chin...but at least I don't have Leno's chin!" - Danny.

I figure it's been more than long enough since I've posted. There hasn't been a lot to talk about, yet there has been quite a bit. I think its just laziness kicking in.

I got my driver's permit. ^_^ I can now drive with someone my age or older, and on the 1st of June, I will take the regular driving test, assuming I can get ahold of the person who stated I could use their vehicle for the test. o.o;;

We've also had German guests at the hotel, so I've had a chance to play interpreter, though most of the time it wasn't necessary, more of an enjoyable attempt at keeping my knowledge of the language fresh. Its been something nice to do at work, besides helping out my co-workers with their workloads.

And finally, I've been getting the moving bug. Nothing here seems to be holding my attention well enough anymore to keep me here. I don't mind this job, but its meager income compared to my bills, and the fact that this is the ONLY thing that will be my reason for staying here in about 2-3 months (Getting license, a few luxury items being the reasons for now), I'm feeling the desire to move. I'm still debating on the direction I want to take, as I have many options available to me, and possibly many more as time rolls on. I haven't really made many friends here; I've been jovial and cheerful, and everyone at work really likes me, but everyone is too busy with life to spend time with me outside of that. The few friends I made around here, I can never get ahold of, and the people I've been interested in as far as making a relationship goes, have all been negative. XD

My income is just barely covering expenses, and I won't really be making gain, but simply breaking even. I can't even really afford to pay anyone back because I don't make enough to afford anything extra for me. Its hard enough to even come up with money for food, but no food is normal, that I'm quite used to it by now. ^_^;

Maybe I'm just odd, but I keep hoping that there will be someone out there who is looking for someone like me, so that I can finally settle down and develop a more defined direction in my life. Or at least get enough of a positive push that I am well-off where I am. Mayhap once my car is working, I can obtain a second job and that will assist with things.....I hope........-_-;

No convention for me, either. Not A-kon (I kinda want to avoid Texas now.....saftey concern), not fanime (No funds), maybe next year I'll go to one. Then again, nothing positive has really derived from going to one, so perhaps passing on ever going to one would be a good idea. O_o
Yay, I'm getting ranty posts now, I hope thats good. XD
