10 hours for broken english

this is the first time ive been able to sit down at the comp in a few days.
jason and i had to cancel our boston trip thanks to hour cuts but this PA trip was worth it.
driving to reading PA, 5 hours there, and 5 hours back, all in one day, for a bunch of bands from europe who speak broken english. yea it was a total adventure. we even got sonic on the way so more fun. we got stuck in traffic on the way there so we missed the meet and greet which sucked. BUT when the show started i noticed people in the audience who i didnt think would be there, mainly gunnar, kerri, and terji from tyr, and all of korpiklaani. i went to the bar, hung out with jason and nick then while on my way to the bathroom, ran into terji and told him how we drove 5 hours to see them. he hugged me and called me a sweet heart so yea, WIN!

tyrs set was incredible, jason shoved me to the front so i got to be close. korplikaani was insane. ive never seen anything like them, drunken folk metal, but nothing depressing, all bouncy happy fun, i couldnt stop smiling the entire time.

we got home at 6 am, i drove the entire time, it sucked but hannah wouldnt let us crash with her, so we had no choice realy, thanks to hour cuts i couldnt really afford the trip to begin with, much less a hotel room. it was ok though, when we got home jason and i passed out.

all in all a good trip.


on the work front im picking up hours when i can, ive been averaging over 20-25 so it wont be too bad.




that is the video for vodka by korpiklaani btw, see how fun they are!

stress filled relief?

oh new year. starting it off with major hour cuts at walmart, im down to 13 hours a week, from my normal 32. luckily i have about $450 saved and will be able to throw a good chunk of next check into that savings.
ive decided that since its only gonna last a month, i might as well take advantage of this. its snowy, and cold and so i get to stay snuggly in my bed watching cartoons and eating soup. the only slight worry i have is paying bills, but i have enough to cover a month and more of bills saved, and ill at least be getting $200 a check, so i should be ok. im not worried about food because my family wouldnt let me starve, mom has a bag of ham for me at home, and im gonna be there for 2 days for dinner and im sure ill get left overs.

its almost relieving to have time to just lay around instead of rush around. jason is helping me out, he filled my gas tank on new years eve and we have lots of no cost adventures planed. the last "expensive" adventure is our trip to see tyr in PA. nick and jason are helping with gas for that too so it shouldnt be bad. and i have $80 in change i have saved, i wont use all of it either, so ill have extra moneys with my saving.

i feel good. its good to know that if i need it my parents will help, but i dont want to need them. i can weather this storm.

also- i applied to a bunch of jobs at upstate so hopefully ill have stability soon.
