Steve and I are moving out of the Salvation Army into an apartment together very shortly, as long as everything is approved. I’m excited by the idea, because it means I only have to contend with one person’s snoring and bad habits, not a house full of men doing the same thing.

Right now, I only have one minor dilemma, and that is getting a vehicle so that I can commute on my own back and forth. I don’t mind if it’s a beater, as long as it gets me to the parking lot at work with at least 10 minutes to spare each day. I just want to get started on the buying process by the time I move, so that my work commute isn’t a pain in the thigh (where my wallet sits).  I also wouldn’t mind a scooter, but I can’t afford to pay the lump sum at once — a couple of thousand is a bit of a stretch, which is why a payment plan would be made of awesome here.

One thing I’ve noticed in this country, which is depressing, is that if you make a mistake as a teenager, you spend a very long time making up and paying for those mistakes, with so few willing to work with you on that road forward. It’d be nice if I were wrong about that, though.

To sort of recap it all, let me start with this: I’ve done a bit of shopping to keep my spirits high.
I bought a few shirts from shirt.woot, including a shirt that’d be perfect for Valentine’s Day with the text, “Be my Dragontine?” on its front. Another shirt is all black, with a snowflake and diamond pattern on the front that looks very crisp. I’ve got to give those guys some serious kudos for their designs, since I’m spending $10 a shirt there (Cheap!) on some days.
I recently picked up a George Foreman grill for myself, since I’m still in the transitional housing program at the Salvation Army. Now, I can actually buy real meat (Gasp!), cook it, and eat it as part of a meal that I’ve prepared for myself.
I bought a couple of bottles from storybottles.com, and have them sitting right here in my cubicle at work. I can’t really decide on how I’m going to fill these. Ideally, I want to use distilled water, with a bit of food coloring, but I don’t want the food coloring to stain the bottle. I assume that with the distilled water lacking minerals, etc., and with the right food coloring, there won’t be any harm done to the insides.

At some point, I should get regular with my blogging again. I just haven’t had the energy to want to bother doing it lately.
