Greg called me last night a little bit after 9pm. This wasn�t a planned thing so it was a nice surprise. I was quite out of it though, Papa Bear having paid me back for months of generosity with a free $40 bag (Sorry Janet, baby, but this is the LEAST drug consumed Ive been in my entire life), which was a nice surprise as well. I had that info session at the college at 6pm then I came home and made myself some big noodle soup. Gary called asking for a ride out to Farmington, to Rich and Dave�s place so he came over and grubbed some soup. I was pretty toasty while talking to Greg, Im not sure if he noticed though. Maybe he did cuz I remember not being my usual enthusiastic self and I hope he doesn�t think I wasn�t glad to hear from him. He said they asked him to work late and was calling to say that he was, even though he would get out at 1:30am and I was originally scheduled till 2:30 he figured maybe I�d get out early. I told him I agreed to stay all night (which ended up being till 7:15 instead of 6 cuz of no shows) and he sounded disappointed. �When will I get to see you? You still have off tomorrow, right?� �Yup, I don�t work tomorrow, but then I work every other night for a while.� �OK well I�m telling them Im not working over tomorrow then.� Which was nice. I told him about me looking at apartments today and asked if he wanted to go with me, it took him a second to answer, no, he needs to catch up on sleep, hadn�t slept well the night before (�just couldn�t get comfortable� is what he said), and besides, it�s not like I can get the apartment tomorrow, he�ll still have to meet the person and sign somethingorother and he can look at it then, also said he trusts that I�ll get something nice, also anything would be nicer than where he�s at now. There are quite a few I want to call about today. But I said I�d be in my own place by Christmas, and today is the first� Gitter dunn!

The info session didn�t go so well. I had only joked about it being a degree plan for slackers and retards and actually it turns out it really is for retards. �It�s rare for our students to take full time classes, in fact a great number only take one class at a time�� meanwhile I�m thinking �I need 32 credit hours to get a degree, now if I go to part time at Hortons that gives me 12 hours a day to do independent study classes� I worked 55 hours a week with Jake and did 20 credit hours online and another 4 as a Saturday class� and got 4 A�s and 1 B� I could do 32 credits in one semester�� Then there are problems with grading, as in there are no grades� no no no, I need verification, if not for my ego then for my applications to grad schools, which are gonna look at my retard college degree and make chest slapping motions as they crumble my application and toss it limp-wristedly into the garbage. �Yay, I got degree!� That shit aint gonna fly. Another problem is that they require some gay retard classes like time management, financial planning and educational planning. The school�s on SEMESTERS, I don�t need any of those three, let alone waste a whole semester on them, not to mention $3,000 in tuition. So I don�t fucken know. I don�t have options. I like the indie study, and even if I cant accelerate through the semesters I�ll still be able to get the semesters done quicker, maybe I can still have a degree by fall. They technically have 5 terms but you cant register for them consecutively, but I�m going to try. Maybe if I have the semester�s worth of work done by the time the second half rolls around they�ll let me get more classes. Fucken cunts just give me a degree!!!!!!! Didn�t Oxford give Bono an honorary doctorate?? I�m wayyy cooler than Bono, c�mon somebody throw me a frickin bone here.

Anyway I need to get moving before I lose my momentum. It�s 10 am and my lack of good sleep yesterday is catching up with me (I just couldn�t get comfortable either).


Always remember to quit while you're ahead.

How long could we maintain? I wondered. How long until one of us starts raving and jabbering at this boy? What will he think then? This same lonely desert was the last known home of the Manson family; will he make that grim connection when my attorney starts screaming about bats and huge manta rays coming down on the car? If so, well, we'll just have to cut his head off and bury him somewhere, 'cause it goes without saying that we can't turn him loose. He'd report us at once to some kind of outback Nazi law enforcement agency and they'll run us down like dogs. Jesus, did I say that? Or just think it? Was I talking? Did they hear me?
