@Leaf: Party time!
[dances]

[Chocofreak13]

you could take this opportunity to run, Leaf. :0

[Nichi]

So, house to myself until either tomorrow or Sunday; I never got a clear answer. Regardless, yay! : D

also i splurged and bought non-necessary frozen food because we haven't eaten meat in awhile, yay!

How is AliExpress anyway? There are some accessories I want to buy from there but I've heard people say they've had issues with their credit card #'s getting stolen after buying from Chinese websites (I'm not sure if it was that site specifically).

[Chocofreak13]

@bells: the same issues that arise on ebay arise here. only buy from reputable sellers, know EXACTLY WHAT SIZE YOU NEED in terms of clothes, and get the shipping worked out before you even think of paying. i'm treading lightly since there were some items i was looking at that were from non-diamond quality stores (they use a little medal symbol for feedback scores from 1 - around 1000? and use a diamond or crown for things upward....their rating system is weird but if they have a diamond, a crown, or 3+ medals they're typically trustworthy), and taking it slow because of the budget, but otherwise the first order i made went fine, even if the sweater runs a little small (i expected that and they didn't have any higher sizes than L or XL, can't remember which i got). i'll let you know how order #2 went when it comes in.

however, for the time being i'm just going to panic about money because me and Steve are both now broke, and i need gas. ;v;

[Nichi]

Mmm :[

I have to be careful with gas in the van; I need to put some in, and make sure there's enough in there for dad to be able to drive it to Tyler to trade it for the truck he wants next weekend. Also, one of my coworkers can't seem to wrap his head around "sell the van, keep the Avenger"; he keeps getting it in his head that we're going to keep the 20+ year old van with some 230k+ miles on it, and sell the Avenger (Which just passed 100k miles) :\

[Chocofreak13]

is he a vintage collector or something?

i am hovering between a quarter of a tank and the red zone so i'm getting scared. i don't get paid till wednesday and need to go to work monday AND wednesday. ;^;

[Nichi]

I think maybe he thinks the van is "mine" and is wondering why dad would take my vehicle to get himself something new (From a standpoint of driving it daily and covering most maintenance on it, yeah, it is mine. Legally, however, it's still dad's; his name is on the title).

As for gas, I know that feel :[

[Chocofreak13]

ahh, i could see that then. maybe clear up the confusion if he protests. :\

Spent the first half of the day incapacitated by sadness over the prospect of my SO getting a job this winter and me not being able to see them for over a year (because it's inaccessible by rail or airline! Yay!), and then the second half incapacitated with fear because I can't get a hold of them, not online, phone is off, haven't heard from them since last night, don't know if they're dead or not.

I guess today wasn't meant to be a not alternating between wanting to cry and being sick to my stomach with worry sort of day.

[Chocofreak13]

pretty sure he posted on FB either earlier today or late yesterday, so that's a good sign. :0

I was having a good day...and then I came home to find the parents got the truck dad was talking about; when I thought I had one more week to go before they do. Now, I'm gathering the info I need on the area, and am trying to think of how to confront the parents about my plans to move; mom's counting on me buying the Avenger so she can pay off the Mini faster, and at my current salary, I'd be stuck here until 2017 unless I take a job in Tyler and commute every single day.

Maybe if I'm lucky, they'll let me pay on the car after I move (I can PayPal the money to dad), and then once I pay it off, I can take some time off work to fly back down, get it and the rest of my stuff, and drive back up. I seriously doubt they'll let me take it without paying it off.

be grateful you got to use the vehicles...

[Nichi]

True; at least they aren't stupid enough to tell me I can't drive the Avenger until I pay for it in full, and then sell the van out from underneath me >>;
