And what's with these people?

June 9, 1993

Christ, it's been awhile! Well, time for a wrap-up! I went to my brother's graduation. I moved into my apartment on the 2nd of June and I'm all moved in with my new cordless phone and a little food. I went to an El Chico party a few nights ago. I got really drunk and puked and felt shitty the next day, as usual when I get smashed.

Lady and I went to Dallas last weekend and spent time at Six Flags and at the malls. I think I'd like to live there. My allergies got the best of me and I got really stuffy in the head so we couldn't go to Wet N' Wild and ride the Bubba Tub! Anyway, I needed the break from El Chico and Disney. I had an interview with Western Merchandisers the other day. I hope I get it! Man, I'm writing very blandly! I guess it's because I'm not happy. I miss Walt Disney World and all my friends. The Disney Store doesn't cut it. We just got a new store manager. She's good, but I still don't like Tim, the asst. manager. He's queer and weird. I like El Chico more because the people have better personalities and are more "real". Plus I get more money. I sure need it!

I saw Jerry Seinfeld the other day. It was really good. I laughed forever. If I get this Western Merch. job, I will start writing again. I just want to stop watching life go by and start participating, ya know?! I miss Laura in Nashville especially. I need to go visit soon. Caroline says she's going to Orlando in a month. I would LOOOVVE to go. But it all depends on this job thing! Damn! I need freedom. Why can't I be independently wealthy!? Oh well.

I open El Chico tomorrow at 10:15am so I best be gettin' to bed, my friend. The Bulls beat the Suns tonite. It may be a three-pat. Lady's parents and my mom and brother came over tonite for spaghetti and conversation. It was the first time they've met. It wasn't so bad. Well, gotta blow!

I'm at the corner just in time to see the bus fly by...

Yeah, it's Friday! Well, I got my DM singles. $36! Damn! I also put my deposit down on my apartment. Let's see... I have $800 in the bank. Rent is $350, so that's $450 left. I have about $100 in bills... that's $350 left. Electricity deposit is $150... that's $200 left. SHIT! I'm gonna be broke. I have got to save every penny I make in the next week. Ok, I have $25 in hand, plus $85 in coins. That's $110 and that's it! Thank God for my credit card. Whee!

Well, I got a meeting set up for Monday morning with this lady, Carol Davis, of Holmes, Davis and Hoffman PR. It should get me somewhere! I have to be really excited! I am! If this doesn't work for me, I'm calling Western Merchandisers. If that doesn't work, it's off to Disney! Whee!

I move in to my apartment on the 2nd. My brother graduates on the 1st. Yowza! I've been packing a bit, but to not much avail. I have about 10 days before I go. I want to be moved in before I go off to Dallas. What a trip we will have! I have a check waiting for me at Disney, and I get paid this Tuesday at El Chico. So I will have 3 Disney checks waiting for me at about $45 each before Dallas. Also, I have to get a VCR and phone for my apartment. How broke can I possibly be. It's fun to complain about being broke.

The last Cheers was on last night. It was pretty good. I think everyone in America watched it. El Chico got this new Zima clear malt liquor drink. I hate it, but it's a fad so people buy it. I got back to the hole in an hour. We have no food in the house so I may go buy something. No, gotta save the cash! Oh bother. This is suckin! I have tomorrow afternoon off, so I think I'm going to go to Otter Creek and lay out with my sweetie. See ya! The last Saved by the Bell is on tomorrow night. I'd better record it!

I'm not the one, staring down the barrel of a gun.

Well, I've skipped a few days again. I guess that's because nothing really exciting has happened. Anyway, after weeks of looking, I have an apartment picked out at Riverdale. It's about a block from the Arkansas River and it's the only complex I could find that would give me a month to month lease. It's $350 a month, plus a little $150 deposit! Yes. I think I'm going to move in on June 2nd. It depends on when my brother's graduation is... I'll go find out. Ok, it's on the 1st, so I'll move on Wednesday the 2nd. It's settled.

I got off the phone with a lady that works for my dad. She's going to try and get me hooked up with a PR firm down here. How exciting. I'm going to try really hard to land something before I have to call Western Merchandisers. (The people call me naive... I believe -- Dee-Lite)

I just got a Dee-Lite CD and a Red Hot Chili Peppers CD in the mail from my CD club. Yeah. The UA graduation was on the 8th. I saw Lady and some other of my friends graduate. My name was in the commencement program. Whee! Anyway, Opinionated has moved back here too with her degree. She got a job yesterday at El Chico with me. We'll have so much fun.

Damn, I'm ready to get out of this house. My mom keeps showing it to prospective renters. I just want to bail. I hate them always looking in my room and at my stuff and waking me up. Agggh! I want to move today. I'll move on the 2nd, go to Jerry Seinfeld on the 3rd, Lady and I leave for Dallas on the 4th and come back on the 6th. We're going to Six Flags and Wet N' Wild and stuff like that. Maybe I can get a job lead while I'm down there. Ya never know.

Chuck got fired from Disney yesterday for being tardy again. Ha ha! How embarrassing. Anyway, I work Disney today from 2-6pm and then I'm going to the Comedy Store with Lady at 8pm or something. We don't have the specifics yet. Opintionated, Karen, Lady and I went to Shug's last night after I got off work. We had a couple of pitchers, and then I came home to watch my evening Speed Racer. This morning I am going to buy some DM CD singles at Hastings. It's like $30, I think. Oh well. That's all the news I have for now, eh! Hasta!

In the year 2000...

Yeah! Well, I made over $50 today at El Chico. That place is really stressing me out. I dream about the place and they are stressful dreams, no less. I need to get a real job.
My sweetie graduates in 4 days. I can't wait to see her. I work Disney tomorrow. 10-4pm, I think. I'm really not in the mood for it at all. But, I guess I should just get used to it. My back hurts so bad. It's just strained from lifting so much all day long. It was a nice warm day, at least. The high was in the 80s. Leah and I went to Shugs and Discovery the other night. We drove all the way to Cabot so she could get her ID. It was one of those nights where I spent too much money effortlessly. I saw Sloane and Deanne sumpthin. She was an AD Pi at school. I can't remember he last name. Oh, well. I'm trying to find a way to get off early on Friday so I can zoom up to Fayetteville. Lady and I are getting a room in Siloam Springs. There's just nothing in Fayetteville, I assume. I can't wait to see her.
My mom's bugging my brother and I. He's ready to get school, I'm ready to move out and she needs to get to Wichita and get on with it! The highlight on the news is artificial bladders. How stupid. Some guy name Conan O'Brian has been named to replace David Letterman on Late Night. Oh well. I need to write Lady a letter so here I go. Laterness.
