$$ and Car troubles YAY

So I have officially learned the new deffinition of poor. My car has cost me more than I ever hoped or expected to put into it. I have now replaced the throttle cable, put a radio in it, replaced master cylinder for the break, gotten registration and inspection, replaced the ball joints, replaced the front left tire twice, replaced the subframe, replaced a blown fuse, and i still have to change the oil, replace the timing belt, and put new speakers in. ouch. Altogether my $1650 car is going to have cost me close to $3500. I have a long story about when it really started getting bad.

So I was going to Argyle, TX about an hour away, and I left and got on 121....well, there is more than one 121 and I got on the wrong one without realizing it. So, I was driving, and driving, and driving some more when i see the outline of a city. "hmmmm. wow, that really doesn't look like Dallas,"  I thought to myself. Fuck, i knew it....i drove to Fort Worth....about an hour away from Dallas. So, i thought I would call somebody for directions and help on getting home in a decent amount of time...well, i'm looking and freaking and I can't find my cell phone anywhere....i left it in Argyle....so I drove back to Argyle on a torn up road with a bent subframe which causes the bottom of my front left tire to tilt in and the top to tilt out... thus wearing them down really really fast. then i go back to dallas and realize that i have to go to Austing the next day...4 hours away. and i check my tire and sure enough the metal tread is showing through. so i replaced it again and went to austin the next day. But Austin is so amazing.

Everyone should go to Austin at least once in their lives. It's the live music capital of the world, everyone is so happy and laid back, i've not met anyone who doesn't enjoy living there. It's cheaper, and prettier; it's nothing like the rest of Texas. Kind of hippy like but there are hills and trees everywhere. & b/c there are a few rivers, there's actually some rain sometimes!

Good news, i found this mexican that will fix my car really cheaply, but still well, i have seen his work dont' worry. So, I still am a little in debt, but I can pay off everything and everyone i owe and save just enough money to get started in Austin by the end of November, but the question is now....where do i pick up a second job? i could get one at jamba juice and work 30 hrs @ starbucks and 30 hrs there.....i could pick up a serving job and work 3 days @ starbucks and 3 wherever....but who's hiring? i don't know.. i don't really wanna go back to Bennigans but I may have to until November. I just need extra cash. done ranting for now.

Alright, I don't use this site as much as i used to. so i don't know if i'll continue to use it at all here soon. BUt... to give u an update. I'm moving to austin for school,and it just rocks; I've come out of the closet, i really like this one chick that i'm talking to and i hope it works out right now; iwork fucking sucks and so oes my living situation so, i'll be moving sometime in November very soon; i bought a car but found out after the fact that there's some shit wrong with it that i wasn't expecting; i found a few deals and instead of fixing it for the average $1500 it's only gonna cost me about $200. so, overall, life isn't too bad. since my phone died before, i don't have most of anyones #' in Ohio, so if i haven't called u in awhile, its cuz ur number got wiped off of my phone, so u'll have to call me or talk to someone who talks to me regularly. or just drop me a line online and i'll send u the number.

yeah. haven't posted a lot since school let out and i know longer have the access to a computer. i've picked up a second job and am saving enough to obtain a car in the near future....i hope. I've been doing a whole lot of thinking as of late and have attempted to reach a few conclusions. I miss some things about Ohio, but I'm no longer truly sad that i moved down here. I feel that i've really grown as a person and am no longer really the same Sarah that I was up there. I am curious though to know what ever happened  to everyone up there in Ohio. I here about marriage, eloping, breakups on occasion, etc. but quite seldomly.

I have come to cherish every moment i have of free time though and am really trying to appreciate more of the little things in everyday life to keep myself happy. i went on a couple dates recently, but he was being way to aggressive on date 2 and doesnt really talk all that much. also, he apparently wants to be my boyfriend. which is insane seeing as how i've known him for no more than  a full day. Maybe i should just be gay, or an old maid.

well, peace out for now home slices, Fsuck u all!

I've had the best coupla days! I got another tattoo, learned to drive stick, got a little trashed, had a kickass close at work, watched some hillarious movies, and got to hang out with one of my favorite people! doesn't get too much better.

work drama continues though, 2 shift leads out of  5 quit in 1 week...eek. this could be craziness. Oh, funny story. i was doing a spin at work (clean cycle) and found these pamphlets people were leaving on the tables...they were titled "HELL! Don't go there!" and then on the inside told you why everyone was a sinner and how horrible you are and how you should be ashamed of yourself. then they go on to say that you must repent, how horrible hell is, there is no purgatory and there is no 2nd chance. do people actually think that scare tactics are gonna bring people to jesus. fuck that. another example of religion based upon fear.
