... is going to eat my brain. Come on, a quiz every day, homework every night? This sucks. in other news... Nothing... nope nothing new, but I did pass Financial management. OH, wait- I did get an iPod touch, the old iPod died after 4 years of service. Its really neat! How did I ever question if I really wanted one? I know I made the right choice!
So, after five years for faithful service, my little blue car is going to be traded tomorrow- I think.
I'm kinda sad about losing it, but really, its for the best. We (my parents and I) recently found out that there is a manufacturing defect with the paint, and that the whole roof, and possibly the rest of the car will have to be repainted within one to two years. Now, to most this may seem to be a minor problem, but my car is a Focus- so it doesn't have much resale value, and its only going to lose value as the years go on. My parents and myself, we aren't going to repaint a focus, it would just be putting a lot of money into a proverbial sinking ship. So my mom is going to get a new car, a Ford Edge most likely, and I will take her Honda Accord. Not a bad situation, really. I'm moving up in the car world- my mom's car is only two years old and has lots of shiny "extras," we bought it new, and its paid off, as was my car (in fact I had learned that all of our cars were paid off). I'm happy about the new car, but I really am going to miss the blue one. I know that the thing I love most about this car is the paint color and so really, I know in a few months I'll be right as rain and happily settled into the Honda, but right now its hard to say goodbye to an old friend. I won't regret trading the Focus, but I will miss it- that's the way I described it to my parents when they asked how I felt about this whole thing.
Anyways, I was just trying to put my feelings down somewhere, this is just me blathering on....
I think that most people have a pretty firm idea about what they want done with their body. Even for young people like me who arn't planning on having anything happen we still have some idea of how we want the body treated.
For me, while its not like I have my entire funeral planned out or anything, I do know that I want to be buried (my organs donated), and most defiantly not cremated. To me, even though we are already dead, cremating the body just seems so final, like that person was never even here on this Earth- truthfully, its kinda scary, to think that there would be no physical "me" here. I do have firm beliefs in what will happen to my soul after I die, and I look forward to walking though those pearly gates! but, I think it would be very nice if one day some archeologist digs up my bones. Kinda odd, but I like thinking that there will be some proof for future generations that I was here.
Also, I want my funeral to be a gathering of family and friends that are looking back on my life and just remembering me for who I am, I think that my funeral should be a "happy" event, not some horrible somber occasion where everybody is crying and morning. Although the graveside should be more subdued, and with a much more structured feel to it- mainly because I have weird ideas, and think that this final departing gesture for the dead is kinda symbolic for letting go of the dead, so it should be a bit more serious. Both should be religious most defiantly.
Yeah... kinda morbid to make this kinda post, but I saw the writers block prompt and I felt strongly about it, so I though I would write down a bit of how I feel about the topic.
So, on February 10th a new law goes into effect that will further flush our economy down the drains. What am I speaking of you ask? Why, its the law requiring testing of ALL items that are sold to be used on/by/for children under 12 for lead contaminants. jhijsfijaijs Yesplease, lets just shoot ourselves in the foot- the secondhand stores are going to go out of business, parents won't be able to buy great used items at cheap prices, and the cost of new items is going to skyrocket!!! This law says that everything new or used must be tested, or its illegal to sell, which is ridiculous! I am all for keeping our children safe, but this just isn't a viable option, think of something else!
On a much smaller personal level, Goodbye consignment store job that I will have only been at for a year... T_T Guess I'll just have to join everybody else in watching my job go down the drain, only the government will be the only ones to blame. Guess I seriously better start looking for a new job...

Yeah, random. I have got to do a real update here soon, so much has changed since my last update. But anyways, its late, and I have to get up early. But to tide you all over, I give you Breer, more info on her later, when I can properly spaz and brag like all new pet owners should.
It's been awhile hasn't it? Well, lots of stuff that I could tell you all about, but I guess that I'll just glance over everything, and then ramble on about whatever I feel like ( Collapse ) ( Collapse )
Wow, that got long, sorry for those whose flist I just killed, I'm going to try and cut it in a little bit, but I wanted to go ahead and post everything while I could still get it out of my head. EDIT: cuts made, so its flist friendly now, but let me know if somethings wrong with anything.
