Believe me, I know the feeling. It sucks you into the jaws of anger.

I hate the radio.

If you haven't guessed, I'm back from my monthly journey up north. I'd write about my boring hometown adventures but I know nobody really wants to read about that kind of thing, so how about a brief summary of the high points? I got to hang out with a couple of friends I rarely see, so that was a bit of extra fun, and my mom and I went to "Fun With Dick and Jane," which turned out to be a pretty good movie. I was quite amused by the beginning of the credits.

I got my taxes done in a rare moment of productivity, and I'm getting an amazing refund that will pay off three of my four bad debts, so I drove home last night feeling happier than I'd felt in a long time. There's something uniquely pleasant about just sitting back and waiting for guaranteed money to arrive. Woo, taxes! After two years, I'm finally peering over the edge of the hole I dug myself into in college. As soon as I get these debts taken care of I can finally start saving for the laptop I really want. I felt so good yesterday I decided I might actually start getting some regular exercise again, starting Wednesday when I'm done with these three day shifts.

Too bad I didn't get to sleep until midnight, and had to get up at 4:00 AM today. Ugh. I've been remarkably alert today, considering, but I'm looking forward to getting home in two hours and going straight to bed.

I'm still getting nowhere on this side story that I've decided must be the next thing I post. It's becoming a major block in the pipeline. x_x

Other To-Do's for this weekend:
-Create the theme specs thread (.moon)
-Design and begin building the Marketplace (.moon)

You know what sucks about this new subdomain B.S. here on LJ? Because of the hotlink protection I'm using on my web space, my mood theme is now going to be broken image links on everyone's friends page. With the old URLs I could just allow livejournal.com, problem solved, but now everyone's on their own domain, so no dice. Grr.

Upload the images to Photobucket, they allow direct linking by default.

And why hate the radio? The radio is hot steamy love in the morning.

I resist the Beast that is Photobucket. Mwahaha.

Um, for a definately serious and unshakeable reason that is not immediately apparent even to me.

Yes, I am a silly weirdo.

And the radio cuts perfectly innocent chunks out of songs for absolutely no reason. So annoying.

I actually think I'd like to hear the long version of your trip home...and that's not just because I make my friends suffer through trip stories when I go anywhere.

I'm impressed that you are finished with your taxes...I haven't even pulled all of my stuff together yet to do my taxes. I'm so not looking forward to that. Luckily, my family has a CPA do them for us...but anyway.

On a side note, you seem so much more grown up than I am. You have a job; you've finished your taxes; you are taking care of your debt. I should learn from your example. :)

Don't give me too much credit. It's taken me two years to get my feet under me. :P
