So, yesterday I knew I wasn't feeling so hot, but today it was definitely hard to ignore. So, here I am sitting in my bed watching the Today show. Which gets less and less interesting as the morning goes on, if you haven't noticed. Kathy Lee and Hoda... really? This isn't even television anymore. It's just a freak show.
So, even though I am currently laying in pool of my own nose drippings, there is some good news to report on! It seems that as early as next Monday (!!!!!!!!!) I could be moving into my very own two bedroom apartment in Cheney. Everything that needs to be in motion is... just waiting for my finances to get situated, which should hopefully be by the end of this week. I am so ready to move out, and I hope you can all come visit me!
Also, this is something that I meant to post last week, but didn't get the chance. So, early morning on Sprague everyday, the road resembles something like a horse race. Everyone is jockeying for first position onto the freeway. And, MULTIPLE times now, I have been in the front of line. But, more of then than not, some dick wad decides to race ahead of me and cut me off right before the onramp.
Now, I'll be honest with you, I'm already speeding. It's almost guaranteed. So, naturally, these people would realize this right? Since I was obviously ahead of them in the first place. But, FOR SOME reason, once these a-holes are in front of me, they, being the law abiding citizens they are, decided to slow down to the posted speed. I wouldn't mind this at all... IF THEY HADN'T JUST RACED TO GET IN FRONT OF ME! And now they are slowing me down!
And thats not all, now we are on the onramp and, supposed!, to be getting up to speed so that we can merge onto the freeway. The people in front of me apparently do not understand this concept. They continue to go 40 miles per hour once into the freeway. Hard to merge into traffic when they are going 60 and are more likely to ass end you than hit the brakes. And why should they have to hit the brakes?! So, I make a point to get over into the traffic as soon as possible, usually before the car in front of me, and get right up beside them so they CAN'T merge. Suck it.
So, thats all for today! Until next time!

Old Ladies and Oldsmobiles!
I was cut off this morning on Sprague (AGAIN!) by some old lady in a crappy old Oldsmobile.
She sped ahead of me right before to Sprague onramp, only to get in front of me AND SLOW DOWN TO BELOW THE SPEED LIMIT! When my previous speed was well above it. Needless to say, I pissed off more ways than one.
Note to the reader: For complete accuracy in reading my blog, think of me screaming and waving my arms around as you read this. It is much more life like that way.

Remember that post yesterday? Well...
today I filled out a housing application for the Boulder Apartments in Cheney. It's a two bedroom for the price of a one bedroom (HOLLA!). They are very nice apartments and I am very excited! Nothing is totally final yet, but I am first in line as of right now! If it all works out, I should be moved in by the first week of November... and be living there through August of next year! Of course, with the possibility to re-new my lease when its up! Wish me luck and I'll keep you posted!
Sorry, nothing to rant about today. It was just too good!
OH! And I almost forgot! I got a 4.0 on my first of three essay tests in my media class. WITHOUT READING THE CLASS MATERIAL! Thank you Mrs. O and AP English for teaching me how to completely bullshit an essay in less than an hour!
Until next time!

My Personal Hell
Nothing like a terrible morning to make me realize exactly WHY I hate public transportation. Today was the SECOND TIME in a row that when I got to the Park and Ride (my ass...) and there was NO parking spots left! I even go there 20 minutes before the bus came this time to make sure I get a spot! Apparently, that's not enough.
I took the liberty of calling the STA while I drove around for 30 minutes looking for a parking spot. Yeah, thats right, I missed TWO busses today. It was enough to make me want to shoot a homeless person. When I finally got a real person from the STA I was informed that if the parking lot was full, I was supposed to find a parking spot somewhere on the streets of Spokane and then walk back to the Non-Park and Ride location. Unfortunately, there was no close spot on the streets to be found. And, it being the shitty part of downtown, I wasn't willing to venture too far from my car in most locations. So, shaking and cursing with a fervor that I rarely see in my life, I pulled into a gas station to fill up my car and make the trek out to Eastern.
Still shaking as I pumped my gas, I started to calculate things in my head. It's 33 miles to Eastern from my house. My car, funny enough, gets around 33 miles to the gallon! So, each day I drive to Eastern, I am using around 2 gallons, which is also around $6 a day in gas. Counting the time it takes me to get ready and such (I wake around 7 each day) I am spending 3 hours a day GETTING to Eastern. In my mind... this doesn't make sense at all. And thats not considering the hour home commute. 4 hours a day of my life theoretically wasted. So, I stared looking for the solution.
I need to move to Cheney. Most of what I do with my time these days (school, blah!) happens in Cheney. I work three days a week in the valley. So... wouldn't it make more sense to drive 3 days a week to Spokane (where I make up the cost, there and back, in the first hour) rather than going out to Eastern 5 days a week, driving or otherwise?
This lead me to contact the Financial Aid department this afternoon, where the informed me that if I showed them my lease, they would be able to get me a student loan for $5,500 to cover the apartment plus living costs.
To cut a long story short, tomorrow I am looking a few studio apartments, a one bedroom, and a two bedroom that is the price of one. Holla! Well, wish me luck! And share your thoughts!
Untill next time! Too-da-loo!

New Post Tomorrow! (Update today!)
I just thought that I would mention I have yet to get a LEGIT application back. I got one from Sara Robinson that was just a bunch of filthy stuff and one from Abby Vander Linden. She even went to the lengths of making a fake email and everything. I should have known it was her sooner. The girl was too perfect! haha So, I will wait patiently for some to roll in... but in the mean time I will just be all sad and lonely like usual. :(
Also, tomorrow I will hopefully get in a new post! I have an out of control nose hair that has been bothering me incessantly for a few days that I need to talk about...
Until then! Keep looking up! Cause the nuts are falling off the trees this time of year (and they HURT!).

I have no self respect left! I WILL TAKE YOUR PITTY!
Okay everyone... today I get intimate with you guys. Are you ready for some REAL shit? Cause here it comes...
The last time (and first time!) I kissed a girl was... 6 years ago! I was 13. 13!!!! I was a child! I'm pretty sure all we did was slobber on each other and that was kissing. And not only that, the girl turned out to be a drug addict. Fantastic. And ever since then I have been stuck in the friends zone with most every girl I come in contact with. I'm not sure if this due to me not being able to accurately read them, or I am just so terribly ugly and off-putting that I, in fact, do repel women in any way beyond friendship.
So... I am now 19 years old. In college. With no girlfriend or significant other of any kind. Life is tough. But, after today, I hope things are bound to get better!
Starting today, I am OFFICIALLY open to looking for a girlfriend. Please ladies, no shoving or cutting in line. After being alone for so many years, I am ready to start and adventure of my own! I want to find love! I want to be heartbroken! I WANT TO LIVE! I'm gonna get some self help books. I'm gonna read all the online articles. And hopefully, I will a be a pimp in no time! (JK, I don't want to be a pimp, but it sounded fun didn't it?)
Now begins my new quest... to find a girlfriend! And to aide me in my endeavor, I will attach an official Girlfriend Application (it's in PDF editable format, so you can do it on the computer). If you or anyone you know might be interested, go ahead and shoot this puppy off in an email! I am doing this in all seriousness. Start circulating these mofo's around! Check out my Facebook. A picture is worth a thousand words (I am also inclined to believe that I look better in person... but whatev). Have them read the blog of course as well, to make sure they can handle my... sense of humor/attitude problem?
I have no self respect left. I have reverted to an application for God's sake! I will take anyone and everyone (maybe not anyone and everyone... I'm just trying to attract a broad base... I have standards too). I will take your pity as well! Seriously, bring it on! You feel bad for me? I'll take it. Anything at all honestly.
And remember, when the application is complete, send it back to me at hollenwood344@hotmail.com.
I look forward to hearing from you (or your semi-hot to hot friends)! Official Girlfriend Application

Sick, Busy and Fox News!
I apologize for now lying to you all TWICE! I hope I can make it up to you in todays post. I'm going to cover a few things today, so hold on to your wigs and keys!
Okay, to start off I have felt like crap since Thursday afternoon (THANKS GRETA!). My mom seems to think it's allergies (which, honestly, it very well could be) but I am not as optimistic. Friday I called in sick to work, but HAD to go to school to take a math test and a government test (which I am positive I failed both). Saturday I saw Where the Wild Thing's Are (I'm still trying to process it... but I liked it none the less). After that I was supposed to go to the corn maze with Alex. But, by that time, the 70 degree weather had eroded into fits of down-pouring rain. So, we decided to do something that was exciting/dangerous.... (ask privately if you want to know... lol). And, today (Sunday) I made it down to Wal Mart (must have been a welfare check weekend! WHOOOOOOEEEEE!). I decided to invest in a little bit of happy. I bought a 22 in VIZIO HDTV. It is super pretty and the picture looks like the people are standing right there in the screen. It's amazingness on a screen.
This leads me to ponder the week ahead. Tomorrow I face the imminent threat that I will be failing my math class and be close to the same in my gov class. I have to work tomorrow night (hooray...?). And I SOOOO tired, yet I can't sleep (this is a recurring issue). This week should be a challenge to say the least.
About my previously teased posts, I actually started to write the one about driving, but it just didn't have the umph it needed to come off right. In person, I REALLY get going, but in words it just wasn't cutting it. So, to you, I apologize. Maybe I can do a audio post? lol
Today, my major rant was about the Obama administration attacking Fox News. I did a little bit on Facebook, but I'm gonna do a little more elaborating on here.
We ALL know Fox News is by and large a right wingish news channel. It's no secret. These claims are true! We all know it. Also, SMART people realize that most of the shows on Fox are OPINION programs! No one is claiming that Glen Beck is a hard hitting journalist! He has an agenda, just like EVERYONE ELSE! His, just happens to be anti Obama. But what about CNN or MSNBC which are BOTH largely leftist channels? Why is no one calling them out? Oh, right, because they are a mouthpiece for the government. It's not so much that its the Fox network that bothers, but the fact that the President feels the need to attack an opposing opinion. That's not exactly how our system works Mr. Obama. We're not in China.
Also, I would like to point out that, yes, Fox News does occasionally make mistakes in reporting... but! So does CNN! AND CBS. AND EVERYONE! They all make mistakes, but no one is gunning for CNN, so there is no reason to point them out or even investigate.
So, Obama... BACK OFF THE MEDIA! It's not your job to decide what people can and can't say. It's called FREE SPEECH ass hole.
Until next time!
