Bad Luck Revisited

Come on Good Luck Charm, work some magic.
The latest on my apparent string of supremely bad luck: My charming boyfriend and I took a trip to my family's vacaction home in Lake Whitney TX (not actually IN the lake, but NEAR the lake in a small residential area). We have been talking about taking this trip for months and have never had a good opportunity but Christmas vacations from both of our jobs presented the perfect moment so we took off on a day's notice. My parents warned me that my 23 year old brother had been the last person to visit the house and that it was in pretty bad shape after he and his friends had their way with it, but I was completely unprepared for what I found...lets just say a good portion of our romantic weekend was spent cleaning bugs, urine, and other science class worthy specimens from various corners of the house.
And yet...we managed to have a smashing good time. When we arrived back at my apartment, we were still having such a great time, being romantic and sweet and spontaneous. Moments later I lay bleeding on the floor after sustaining a head wound.

Its not really that bad. We were kissing and he pressed me against the door, a door we thought was closed. It actually was not latched and I fell straight backward, bashing my head against the corner of the coffee table. I fought going to the hospital but was finally convinced to go and had 4 staples put into my head (which we have to remove ourselves in approx 10 days). It doesn't hurt but its beginning to itch which may be because it is healing or because the doctor stapled hair into the gash. God Bless Modern Medicine.

Bad Luck Comes a Knockin and Finds Me, Sadly, At Home, Unawares

Aack! I must need a major feng shui makeover or something, I can't quite figure it out. I try and concentrate on the positive things in life, try to direct my energy in positive channels, try to keep my bank account in the positive and my working relationships positive as well.

All have tragically gone to hell in a handbasket in the last week, and I'd just like to dwell on it a little while, thank you very much. And yes, I think it WILL make me feel better if I think about these things over which I have no control.

Most present in my mind is the fact that I lost my cell phone and am thus disconnected from the world for the next 5-7 business days. Then the phone company tried to tell me I didn't have insurance on my account...seems when I updated my account last month to include a new mailing address, they removed my insurance as well. They also don't carry the model of phone I had anymore, so I'm being sent a different kind of phone, for which I will have to purchase all new accessories. I finally talked them into applying the insurance to my replacement phone, but I still have to pay a $50 deductible. Watch me find the damn thing next week.

I've also overdrawn my checking account this month as I didn't go to the bank last night, opting instead to spend several hours tracing my steps trying to find my lost phone. The big thing sucking my fundage dry is a $200 deposit I was required to put down for electricity at my new apartment even though I have had an electric account with the city for almost 2 years (WTF). Its apparently refundable after 6 months.

I'll be lain off from my job in 3 weeks. Of course I've known this is coming for some time, just had hoped I'd have a new position lined up...obviously I don't yet.

These are just a few of the things that have been bumming me out. They're so unimportant and I hate that they have such an impact on my daily functioning.

Next I expect Bush to declare himself Emperor or Czar and make everyone convert to Orthodox Catholicism. Okay, maybe that's going a little far. It will probably just rain this weekend or something. Oh well,
Doom and Gloom Out.

Visit this link for an interesting political test. I've always felt my ideologies didn't really match either the Republican or the Democratic ideologies. So where do I fall in the party system?

Social/Economic Liberal.

Identity Crisis

I may be having a major identity crisis. I'm not sure because if I am its still in the early stages. For the first time either ever or in a really long time I'm really feeling massive pressure from all different directions to change many aspects of my life, and I don't like the way it makes me feel.
