WOOHOO!

I don't work today, but I had a meeting scheduled for 7pm.  I was going to have to go to bed RIGHT now, and even then I would STILL be insanely hung-over for that meeting.

BUT, I just got a text message from my Senior Councilor telling me that the meeting has been rescheduled to this Tuesday.  That is the best news I've heard in so long, I feel like dancing.

Its getting cold/is kinda cold here. Which means I am wrapped up in a blanket. My room is 61F (16C) It is fucking great. Also being able to take stupidly hot showers is also a great thing. Either way, I like winter a lot more then summer...

I've got a spare iPod; 160GB classic in good condition (I lost it and searched for it for a month before buying a new one, only to, of course, find it as soon as I bought the new one).  I offered it to a friend for $50 but he turned it down.  Maybe I should put it back on the market.

It might be a good idea-- I know it'll probably go for a good bit on eBay if you're into that. The 80GB classic (depending on the generation, I guess) was going for $99.99...

That's good to know. Ever since I got my iPhone, I've been carrying around my old 80 gig Classic less and less. I'm still debating if I want to sell it or not (I still use it but not as often as I used to), but I think if I get desperate for cash that might be the first thing to go.

It's certainly something to look into! Like r00 sorta-mentioned, it seems like the price of Apple products are only going UP... even used. I was astonished that I got more than fifty or sixty bucks on the spot.

I couldn't justify carrying around something I wasn't ever using when I could make that much money off it. It's gotten to the point that I'm just going to buy a cheap Walkman or something for Christmas.



Maybe I'll go Hardcore '90s Kid and carry around a CD player, stereo headphones and a mix CD. lol

OMG. HOW DID I MISS THAT THE r00s AND NINmom GOT TOGETHER??? That sounds like an amazing time!

[chimera]

It was absolutely wonderful, but much too short!

r00: indeed, and I wonder what a NeXTcube is going for now.

I mentioned QUITE awhile ago that I was meeting a lady for drinks, and the end result of that was that I got stood-up.  however, thruogh phone conversations and drunken facebook IM's, the PLAN is that we are meeting for drinks on Thursday.  Fingers crossed.

Good luck and have fun, sin. Maybe it was a bad luck or a bad day for her and this time it'll turn out awesome.
@audio: It's a good way to make a quick buck if you should want to; mine was essentially just an expensive brick laying around, and it sounds like you're in the same boat.
@chim and the r00's: Sounds like you all had fun! That's awesome!








WOOHOO: We finally have a solid-ish date to move into the house since my mother and brother have been delaying for so long. It'll be sometime in December since we want to have Christmas at the new place.

This is really exciting to me, because the last time we had Christmas in an actual HOUSE and not a tiny trailer was the year I was born. I don't remember it, for obvious reasons.

[individualzero]

Whoa! I just picked up my first Android phone as an early Christmas present (V-Mobile/LG's "Optimus Slider"). SO COOOOOOL!

[sin]

Update: the date went very, very, very, very well.

[rokken like dokken]

Nice!

not only did i start my xmas shopping, i started by getting my dad out of the way...he is definitely the most difficult person on my list to shop for

I finally have medical insurance through this dayjob!

It doesn't kick in until February though, due to the fact that I've consistently tried applying for insurance over the past few years and it's a six month wait to "qualify" with "pre-existing conditions" and whatnot, but...

I HAVE MEDICAL INSURANCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FUCKING FINALLY

I CANNOT WAIT TO SEE A PROPER DERMATOLOGIST

[r00]

congrats!  I know what a relief that can be.
