I really don't get how Frodo can sleep the way he does. He loves to sleep on top of books. Seems like it would be uncomfortable. But whatever, it's cute.
I'm starting to daydream about having a job. Erk. Yet I'm still unwilling to wake up before three and go out and jobhunt. I think I can be successful just online, though. Last night I found some new places to apply for. I'll just cross my fingers. I need moneyyyy and I was supposed to get a job at the start of the summerrrrr so I could be saving up. I'm a loser.
I went over to my sister's new place last night for the first time. Well, I had been over there before to help drop off some stuff, but the power was out then so it was dark. And she hadn't really moved in yet. It looks much better now... I don't think very highly of the people that used to live there. The place was trashed and smelled like pot.
It smells a lot better now, and it's more cleaned up. It's an.... interesting house. My sister's room is the biggest one, and it's huuuuge. Like, not even a bedroom. It's like... a den or something? It has a door to the backyard. And it's pretty much bigger than my whole apartment. It's a cool room I guess, though right now it's just covered in garbage bags full of her stuff. She hasn't set up her room yet. I think it'd creep me out to live in that room though, it's just so big. And dark. The whole house seemed kinda dark, so I didn't like that. But otherwise it was cool. They just.... need a lot more stuff. The house is old, and the walls are all kind of blah. If they could paint some rooms it'd look nice. And I thought about living there.... there's still another room, but a small one. Rent would only be like $160 a month. That's insane. And seems doable if I actually had a job. However, I wouldn't be comfortable there. There was a bunch of booze bottles. I do not want to be around them while they drink and smoke. I dunno how often they do that stuff, but I know it isn't uncommon with them. So I'll never move in there.
I did get to see my sister's new kitten, Luna. She was really cute, but she has fleas. Ack. She's not old enough to get a flea bath yet, but she's almost there.
I really can't decide if I want to move out or not. It's just so nice here, not having to worry about paying bills or anything. And I'm going to have to pay for college, so I need to save up all I can. If I don't have to pay rent or anything I can save up a lot more. If I got a $500 paycheck every month, I would put like $300 in savings. Probably more than that. And then I can have money left over to do stuff.
I'm kind of on the verge of panic when it comes to Temple College. I really should have checked in with my application sooner. And I really wonder when I'm going to start doing things right, for once. I gotta make lots of changes.
