Some, er, quotes.
"The feminist agenda is not about equal rights for women. It is about a socialist, anti-family political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism, and become lesbians." - Pat Robertson
I've got a lot of work to do in my lifetime I guess. :P
"We don't have to protect the environment, the Second Coming is at hand." - James Watt (The guy in charge of environmental national policy during Reagan)

On Tuesday, taraisagoddess got me out of the house before I went crazy. We went to walmart to look for a father's day gift. Then she bought me ice cream. While I was eating my ice cream, I noticed how incredibly dehydrated I was. :P That's what I get for crying all afternoon. I kept fighting with my parents and I was so angry that I couldn't stop crying.

After that I think I bored tara a bit with my random spazzing at the nifty stuff I had saved on queen anne, like howl's moving castle and pretty guardian sailor moon.

I got home exactly at midnight, despite having to drive slow. There were cops EVERYWHERE! But I got home safe and sound and got to talk to ben and all was good.

Oh! I called ben on tuesday too! Cause he got his phone! :) It was so absolutely wonderful to hear his voice! I miss him so much!!!!!

Yesterday I had exciting interview stuff set up. I think I wrote about that already.

And today I need to go shopping. I need a jacket to wear for my interviews. I don't really want to go out though, because I need to stop at the bank first and it's in the complete opposite direction of where I want to go. Bah....

Plus, my online banking thing isn't working so I want to ask them about it. Which means I need to go inside. Oh, I have to go inside anyway. I have checks to deposit. Lots of them. I want a receipt just in case, because that would be a lot of money to lose.

And with all the crying and not eating and stuff like that, I am down to 102lbs. Part of me thinks that's a great weight to be at. But the other part tells me I'm being unhealthy again. :P

I feel somewhat accomplished. I have a jacket for my interviews!

I drove to the bank to get some money for this adventure, and deposit graduation checks, but there were no deposit slip things that I could see at the atm. I felt a little silly taking out money only to go inside and put money back in, so I finished what I needed to do and left. I can deposit checks another time.

After that, I tried to find tj max, but I think the one near me closed because I couldn't find it. Instead of going to the other one I know of, out in the middle of nowhere, I went to the mall instead. I figured if I looked around enough, I might not have to spend too much. The dept stores were a waste of time. Just a jacket, was near impossible to find, and when I did find them they were close to $100. Or fantastically ugly if they were cheap. I found this one jacket that had shoulder pads so big I could probably go gliding on a windy day.

I wandered into plenty of clothing stores in the mall. And made sad faces at the even more high priced jackets. Then I tried one of those super-teen-fashion stores. You know, the ones that sell the latest fad fashions in the super tiny sizes. (If I think the sizes are tiny, they are TINY.) Hidden on a rack with a bunch of black sweaters were a small handful of black jackets. Huzzah!

Of course, they only had one of each. The one I really liked was only available in small. In the real world, small would fit me. But in super-teen-fashion land, I couldn't even close the front. Not good for my self esteem. I was feeling very fat. I found another one that looks decent, this time in a medium. I think I would have preferred a large, so have a little room to move, but the ones in large were super ugly. So I got the medium one and all is good.

I am proud to say that my interview outfit (shoes, shirt, skirt, and jacket) cost me less than $25. That is so cool. Take that stupid dept stores that wanted $200 for a suit!!!!

Tara was supposed to come over today, but she had to change her plans. Oh well... She suggested I come over to her place but that didn't happen either.

When my parents came home, I went outside with my dad so he could show me how to add oil to his car. I'm not kidding. He and mom seriously thought that I still don't know how to put oil in a car. It's not rocket science. The hardest part would be finding the oil plug, I guess. He could have just pointed it out to me. But anyway, I was too tired to fight. I let him explain the oil and all that. Then I went into my car and pulled out nice things like my map of long island and an emergency road kit.

I went inside to sew a little. Also packed my bags a little for my trip. Then poked at my writing samples that I really should mail, like, tonight. Sent some emails asking permission to use people as references for my interviews. Need to think up a third professional reference. Got my previous boss, and a professor that I worked with a lot last semester. Can't think of another though. :(

I was really tired after that and took a nap. My parents woke me a little after 9 for dinner. I felt like I was in a fog all dinner. Took me forever to wake up. And now it's too late to go to tara's.

Now I just want to sit around until ben gets to work. Then I can talk to him and tell him how much I miss him and all that good stuff.
