how to make a writer’s day

woah there. did you see that last post i wrote? pretty crazy huh?

sigh.

for those interested, i seemed to have regained my footing since then.

did a little bit of the church thing (which always lifts my spirits). (get it? church. spirits. im so funny). and a little bit of the work-out thing and a little bit of the zone out in front of ABC family all day thing.

OH! and a little bit more of the talking to people in my circle thing about how to deal with life.

all good ways to de-stress.

other than that, there’s not much to report here folks.

op. wait a second im getting a phone call.

HOLY CRAP!

it’s SCVegan!

SCVegan (Nolan) is calling me!

omg. omg.

woah. guys. i just talked to SCVegan.

that was nuts!

he sounded so friendly. and awesome.

and he complimented my writing in this amazingly genuine tone so i married him. right there. a minister flashed into the call and everything. we got the license from vegas. (apparently they do phone orders now). there was rice and vegan cake and whatnot. it was great.

er well.

actually we just talked for about 10 more minutes and he made me laugh.

but just to recap, a random dude called me, who randomly found me on the internet and has randomly stood by my blog through thick and thin. im going to go ahead and call it — that pretty much made my freaking day!

guess things are looking up.

who knew?

needles coming out my middle section / paying hospital bills sucks

remember when i had my gall bladder out?

it’s wasn’t exactly an optional surgery. the stupid organ i didn’t even know i had was causing me to basically bleed through my eyeballs with pain all the freaking time and i kept ending up in the hospital because of it.

so i HAD to have to have it taken out. it was either that or feel the force of God and vomit in ER waiting rooms once a month until i die.

and i had health insurance.

and it covered most of it.

but im still stuck paying back about $1,000 to the hospital for the er visits and the surgery.

and don’t get me wrong. i was in so much pain during the whole thing that i gladly would have signed away all of my future earnings and my children’s future earnings to have it dealt with. (money is worth squat when it feels like needles are coming out your middle section).

but now.

dude, $1,000 is a lot of freaking money. and im just rich enough that the hospital isn’t going to write off the debt as a charity case.

so im trying to be all responsible. im trying to pay it back. i even have a nice little system set up where every pay day the hospital takes $50 out of my bank account.

except, the thing is, i really need that 50 bucks every two weeks.

like to eat and stuff.

seriously.

im that broke.

and see, rich people just don’t understand. to them, $50 smackers a pay check is nothing.

except, two days ago, i had to get two new tires on my car. so that’s another $120.

then i paid $500 in rent.

then i spent $150 on gas and groceries, and $12 plus tax on a johnny depp bag.

and bam!, i’ve got nothing left for the next two weeks. just like magic.

im sure i’ll get by. i’m sure i’ll be fine. and per usual, disclaimer: im not looking for handouts.

but God forbid i need another tire. or worse, i need another organ taken out. because seriously guys, i just can’t afford it.

holy omg! they put him on a bag!! / the story of my johnny depp bag

the other week i was walking through the halls of a high school and i saw this thing out of the corner of my eye.

and suddenly the world started moving in slow motion.

could it be?

was it him?

no. it couldn’t be.

but yes. yes it was.

it was a PICTURE OF JOHNNY DEPP ON A HANDBAG!

holy.fricking.crap.ola.

holy.

fricking.

crap.

ola.

i started mugging the woman wearing the bag. i stopped to politely tell the girl wearing the bag that i thought it looked nice and then i asked her where she got it.

she got it a wal-mart.

about 38 seconds (ish) later i went to wal-mart.

alas, they were sold out.

but then, this weekend i made my way to a wal-mart in the middle of nowhere land. actually, if you go to nowhere land, and then go west for 45 minutes, that’s where i was.

some people call it geneseo.

and i strolled over into the purse section just to see, and there it was.

you’re asking me if i bought it? really? you have to ask that?

because OF COURSE I FREAKING BOUGHT IT!

and here’s a picture for you. (don’t be jealous):

isn’t that the greatest thing you ever saw in your whole freaking life?

now i just have to decide if i should wear it to work or if that would make me seem, umm crazy. my thought is that the other side is plain black, so when i walk past my bosses’ desk, i’ll just face that out toward them.

just a thought.
