you'd think i was busy or something...
well maybe i have been a bit busy. apparently too busy to hammer out something and let you know i'm still alive. i'll try to keep this short (haha).
i made my KARN radio debut today. shout out to
Nixon for being caller no. 1 on the big show! the overnight supervisor at work is a producer for the Dave Elswick show on KARN and they wanted to do a show about what the youth are thinking, so myself and another guy from work went on this morning and shared our opinions about things. i know we didn't cover all the topics that Dave wanted to hit, but it was still fun. lots about social security and government programs and then we wrapped it up with sex. ha. i wish we could have stayed the entire show, but i was glad to leave. we had a great old man caller (70 yrs) who said something about how our generation is all about rap music and drugs which cracked me up. Nixon brought up the blogs and i got to explain to the older people what a blog was and how we youth are using them. anyway, it was a lot of fun and as uncomfortable as it felt to represent a whole generation of people, i think we did a good job.
i hung out with carrie last night. it was so much fun. all we did was talk for like 3 hours and we planned to watch a movie, but we talked too much and ended up watching some tv shows instead. carrie is like my girl friend that i can be all girlie with and she's moving away the 1st of november, which totally sucks. she's encouraging me to have a 'mature discussion' about the status of mike and my relationship this week. she did it with her guy friend that she found herself making out with a few weeks ago and now they're some sort of happy couple. so she says if she can do it, i can do it. but i don't know.
yeah yeah, i know this has been going on for like two months now. i'm scared to know the answer to that question. but carrie explained that i had nothing to lose really, except maybe he and i being friends. but why are we friends in the first place? it started out b/c we worked together and it's easier to work with someone who's sorta your friend than someone you hate. and then it turned into a concert going pal. and now we don't work together and i can take other people to concerts and games, so why are we friends? yeah the sex is good. ok it's really good. but if this is not a monogomous relationship (it is considering neither of us are sleeping with anyone besides each other), then what is it? i have to know this week. and if it doesn't turn out all pretty, well the bright side is i'll get my car back 24 hours a day and less gasoline to buy and one less person to buy dinner for every once in a while.
van halen was pretty awesome. i didn't know all the songs, but they did play the ones i knew. mike loved it and said it was his best birthday present ever.
everything else with mike and me is good. we test drove cars saturday and had dinner and then lunch on sunday this past weekend. i can't wait for him to get a car so maybe i won't have to drive everywhere for a long time. he signed a 6 month lease on his apartment so now he's here until march, which is good (a point to which carrie says, work can't be the only reason why he's staying in arkansas). he's becoming successful! which is great! i'm happy for him. that means that my emotional and financial support will not be needed much longer....which i guess could be bad if it means we are going to go our separate ways. i dunno. i don't know how i feel about about this whole situation anymore. it's too fluid. i don't know if i want a serious relationship. i don't know if i did want a relationship, if it would be with him. yeah, he's the sexiest guy i know. yeah, we spend a lot of time together and he doesn't get on my nerves and i don't get on his nerves. our conversations are still pretty good. but what does all of that mean?
my credit cards are paid off thanks to a home equity loan that my parents took out. my payments are about 300 less for the loan than what i was paying on the individual cards, so maybe i'll catch up and even be able to save some money! shocking! they also confiscated my cards, so i'm surviving now solely on cash, debit card and checks. that's scary.
i think i have a job interview this week at clear channel. the programming director called me friday and left me a message, and i called her back and left her a message and now i'm waiting for a return call. if i don't hear from her, i'll probably call tomorrow and try to catch her before i go to work. she called like really late friday so i missed her b/c i was getting ready to leave. rar! i want a new job! someone hire me! we have (another) new boss at work, and this one is serious and has fucked up everyone's schedule and made everyone mad. it's kinda funny b/c it's not really solving any problems as of yet. it's made a lot of people scared though. i don't care either way. the worst thing that could happen would be me getting fired and well, is that really something i
don't want? that building is going to burn to the ground, not because mike left a bomb, but because serious issues are not being corrected in a timely manner (and one of those issues is an overloaded circuit breaker). if and when that happens, i hope to be there, pointing and laughing.
i think i've said enough. if you heard me on KARN this morning, awesome. leave me a comment and let me know. hopefully i didn't make that big of an ass out of myself. the rest of you, mind your p's and q's and have a good week.
