So, there was this little stand of forms at work, that allowed Hollywood Video people to get a discount at Sprint - I took one of the forms but can't see to find it; I tried to get another one on Thursday but they were gone. According to DJ they weren't all taken, but he wasn't sure where they were. DJ is awesome, but he has no memory for stuff that he tells you he's going to do; you have to remind him over & over again. I didn't think to remind him until after he was already gone. I called Bryan at Hollywood today to ask him about it and he said he'd check around for it, but it's likely that someone just tossed them, which would really suck, as any kind of daily savings like that would really help us out right now. Mark really wanted to get it taken care of today so he's pissy, and I'm upset, so today kind of blows.

My friends are going to Wiards Orchard tomorrow evening for fun times, but I can't go because I'm working. I'd take it off so I could join them, but we are so broke that I need to take all the hours that I'm given. It sucks too because while we've seen each other randomly over the last year, we haven't really gone places, and I'm jonesing for some together time in a non-home-non-theater setting in which there are many conversations and fun stuffs happening. ;-0( I might be able to join them after I get off of work, but it would be apartment based fun, which is nice too; it just seems like we never go do anything anymore - and I know it's because we're all broke, but I really miss it. We haven't gone to Cedar Point in nearly 5 years - which I can understand because our last trip nearly killed me. But we didn't do any of the wacky/lame/funny things we usually do; no LazerTag or trips to the cemetary. A few of us did go to Vegas in April, but I was so sick and uncomfortable that I wished I could have stayed home - I only toughed it out so that my friends could go and have a good time. We do have some great pictures & videos and stuff of that time - but I mostly just wanted to sleep while I was actually there. erg.

Anyways; I'll just have to make sure that we do more stuff together once we're less broke. Mark & Mollie have talked about taking the train to Chicago which seems like a reasonbly cool adventure. I bet Carrie, Karen & Adam would all enjoy that; maybe Kenny could go too - and Bryan & company. Hmmm. ;-0)

I want to be reading a good book. And I'm limited to the ones that I own, because I'm trying to save money (which I've been doing with some success!). I'm used to having a certain amount of money in the bank for emergencies and I don't currently have that, which troubles me. So I'm trying to at least get that back before I start buying stuff again; I might break down and buy a few things on my list that will cost a lot more if I buy them later, but I'm still not sure. There's a certain satisfaction in not spending money, though the urge to spend is great.

I have all these Star Trek books that I haven't read, which I want to read, but I'm having trouble choosing which one I should read. lol I'm so hopeless at making decisions like that; which my sister Janice used to love to comment on. I wish Janice lived in Ann Arbor. If she did I'd spend a lot more time with her & her family. I should plan a fun trip for us as a family.

I've been having an online e-mail exchange with this guy who found my website through a link in a yahoo message. He seems nice; he lives in California with his boyfriend, and they used to watch Buffy, Angel & Enterprise together. They watch Smallville too, though I never have. I told them all about me & Mark; maybe we'll all become great friends. Maybe we won't, but it's nice anyways.

I'm gonna have a snack or something; maybe call Janice, and think about train trips for everybody.
