Circumstance

I love how, when I finally move out and suddenly have excess money in my bank account,  everything decides to go wrong. Granted, I’m glad it waited unil I had the money to pay for it, but still, the cirsumstances make me laugh bitterly.

It looks like the thermostat housing is cracked in my car. It’s not that big a deal, my uncle said he should  fix it, but he’s worried that it may be the actual water pump that’s gone out, and if that’s the case, I’ll just have to take it in because he wouldn’t want to risk trying to replace it himself.

Great. I’m supposed to be going to Fresno to go skydiving with my sister for our birthdays at the end of October and I may not be able to because my car is a death trap.

So now I’m faced with the choice of postponing flight school to get my car fixed, or postponing flight school to buy a new car. I’m leaning toward trying to get qualified for a new car, just so I don’t have to deal with the hell of making appointments for maintenance, taking time off from work, etc., etc.. The worst of it is the electrical short my car has. I don’t know how bad it is and I’m reluctant to take it in because I’m afraid it’s going to bleed me dry.

So we will see. Something has to happen. I’d prefer a new car, but that might be out of the question at this point. I may not have a choice but to pay to get the car fixed.

In other news, I’m getting used to living in a small room again. My cat seems to be taking it much better. She hasn’t got sick once since we moved, which makes me think she was allergic to something in the other house. Like the carpet. There is no carpet in the room I’m in now. So this is good.

I’ve played too much Guild Wars 2, but that’s okay. It’s really, really fun so far. I haven’t progressed too far in my personal story line as I’m focusing in opening up territory on the map, but I like it. I like the dynamic events and how people spontaneously come together. I’m not a HUGE fan of the open world concept only because I hate it when things respawn seconds after I’ve just killed a thing in the same spot. It gets troublesome from time to time, but all in all I have very few complaints about the game. Leveling is easy, but not so easy that it’s boring, and when it’s done right, you can level really quickly which I like because it means I can breeze through the lower level exploration areas and then go back later and focus on the dynamic events and ‘hearts’ which are mini quests.There is only one main quest, which is your character’s main story line. I like this much better because it means I don’t have to worry about a quest log showing every quest I have ever accepted ever and never completed. The map now holds all of that information and it’s per area now, so you can see what you have left to do when you enter each new explorable area.

So yeah. I guess all in all things are going well. I need to get out and do more things though. Like join a dance studio or start piano lessons. Something beyond having to worry about friends/potential boyfriends/guys who can’t be boyfriends/everyone ever.

Also, I hate how every time I watch Doctor Who at my new place, it always comes with new commentary from people who don’t like it because it’s ‘not believeable’.

How about go to hell? Right?

Hah! I’m sorry. I just hate people right now. I’m so burnt out.
