Yeah, it's been shown once again that I don't keep a blog. I'm not a blog kind of girl I guess. But random entries distanced very far apart might happen...
Right now Mike is in the hospital, some varient on pneumonia with maybe MRSA or staph. Really gross. And though he's one of my closest friends I'm thinking I probably won't go visit him just because my immune system has been shit lately and I really can't afford to get any kind of illness.
Yesterday I was talking to Andrew from California on the phone, chatting about random things, when he brought up what tution for his school is going to be next year for out of state students. He started going on and on about how he wished I would go there, and why couldn't I get in, and blah blah blah. I reminded him I haven't finished my diploma yet, so I couldn't even apply yet even if I wanted to or could afford it. Which is when he dove headfirst into the 'the best thing you can do for your future is get your GED or high school diploma and why haven't you done that and get back into school and etc.' lecture. I told him to please stop. To please cut it out. That I've heard it all before. And he didn't listen, so I snapped. And in the end said, "I am done talking to you right now Andrew. Good bye." Just shortly ago he called me, wanted to talk about it all. Said I overreacted, which I probably did to a point, but still. He didn't even seem to understand where I was coming from. He started in with all of the what if's again. I had a mini-snap again. Reminded him that the world he grew up in, the world he lives in, is not like the world I live in. Not even close. He considers himself 'middle class'. Well, he may be upper middle class. But that would make me very low middle class to the high end of lower class. He grew up in LA, a very nice house, never needed to worry about finances at all, his parent's are paying for his schooling and his rooming there. And I have been aware since I was eleven or twelve that, while we're not poor we don't have money to waste at all. I'm working, doing what I can to save up for school, since I am paying for all of it myself. He doesn't have a clue where I am coming from. Just as I have very little idea where he is. But him lecturing me on things that I'm not even capable of doing right now due to lack of funds is bullshit and pisses me off. And then when he went into the what if game... It made me think and realize that if we were in better proximaty in the real world, if he was here or I were there, we wouldn't be friends. Maybe occasionally go to the same party, but not friends. Him and his world, it just gets so old sometimes.
Or maybe I have something to get off of my mind. Random writing, lyrics, poems, quotes, links, or pictures. Everything is fair game and the choices have nothing to do with you.

Don't know why...
I'm completely breaking my normal behavior tonight, but I guess it's not necessarily a bad thing. Even though I've always been a girl who Facebook was enough for, I have decided tonight to sign up for Twitter and get this blog thing going. I had it set up before, but never ever used it. So, take two!
Tonight I hung out with Mike. We got coffee, went to Fred Meyers where I ran into two friends from around a year and a half or two years ago, and then went to Sporty's to watch the Silvertips hockey game. The quality, however, sucked, so we left after the first two periods. Swung by his parent's house, and home I now sit. Not too interesting.
