Bollocks 2.14

I'm not very happy. I went to court tonight, to take care of my ticket. I was expecting to have a trial and all that. Apparently, that's not how it works. The last time I went to the court was to set up a date for me to appear in court. The purpose of this appearance, seemed to be so I could tell them exactly the same thing I told them a month ago. So, now, they are going to send me my trial date in the mail. Which means I have to appear in court, again. Which is not cool.

Homecoming Part 2: The Revenge

Actually, no revenge. My entire weekend rocked and was just what I needed. Thank you Dallas, see you soon!

Homecoming

Yesterday, I embarked on my first trip back to Dallas since I left about 6 weeks ago. I had been looking forward to the trip all day. Not only because I left work a little early, but also because I was going to see a lot of my friends. During the drive back, I actually felt like I was driving home. It is unfortunate that Austin doesn't feel like home yet, but Dallas was home for nearly 6 years.

So far, this trip has not disappointed me at all. It was very nice to get to see a lot of my friends last night. Most of them seemed really happy to see me, which is always a nice feeling and some didn't know I had left. I've already seen most of the people I want to see, and I'm hoping to get the rest tonight.

It's good to know that there is a place where I will always feel loved and welcome.

I'm not sure I should admit this

My alarm has been scaring me in the mornings. That is, every morning it goes off, for at least the past week. It doesn't matter if I was briefly awake 15 minutes prior to it going off, it will still scare me. Sure, the fear only lasts for a brief moment, only until I realize that I'm at home, in my bed, and that my alarm clock is making all that awful noise. Still, I never had this problem before. What's up with that?

I saw this picture of a Tree Spirit from Princess Mononoke and decided that I want one. I also want a plush Cthulhu.

Is it bad...

...that the second person I know that has seen the inside of my apartment lives in Colorado?

On mornings like these...

...I wish I didn't have such a high caffeine tolerance.

Loss

For the past week, things had really started looking up for me, especially financially (not that I was hurting in that area). However, I'm finding myself extraordinarily sad. It's because I think I officially lost a friend yesterday. It was someone I had a lot of respect for, but everything I tried to do to prevent the loss just made things worse.

Gate Update

So, I've come to find out, that my gate key wasn't in the system at all. It sure was nice of them to give me a key that wasn't in the system. Also, my number can't be programmed into the gate system, because it isn't a local number. That makes having guests rather problematic.

I really dislike gated communities

I happen to live in one now. Up until today, the gate had been broken since I moved in, so it hasn't really bothered me. Today, though, I was able to discover that my key to the gate doesn't work. Not only that, but for some reason, my phone number isn't programmed into their system, so I couldn't open the gate that way. So, I had to wait for someone to leave the community. This was at 1:30am, not exactly a high traffic time. Also, the entrance is sort of designed so people don't come in the exit gate. I barely made it through.

Stupid gated communities.
