So….I got my first paycheck today! w00t! Tiny (for two days last week) but more money than I have had in a WHILE. MY money! And I opened a bank account. 
Other stuff…I had been drooling over the winter coats at Macy’s that were SO expensive…until today when my co-worker pointed out that there is a Burlington Coat Factory like, a block from my work…GREAT coat selection and at LEAST half the price…and less. AND lots of other, dangerous, low priced clothing…SWEATERS! COZY SWEATERS! INEXPENSIVE cozy sweaters!
And an ankle-length brown wool coat with a hood trimmed in fox fur. <3
Anyway…it’s Friday. TGI. Seriously.
I had a swarm of butterflies roost in my belly today when I realized that school starts in about 2 weeks…these were not money-related butterflies, but simply the butterflies of ‘Gee…I’ve SAID I’m going to art school, but soon I’m actually going to be GOING! What if everyone hates me? What if they think my clothes are stupid? What if they think my ART is stupid? What if I have a professor who tells me I’ll NEVER cut it in the illustration world and that I should go to business school and forget all this sillyness?’ You know, pre-first-day-of-school jitters. At the JC it never seemed like THAT big of a deal…it was just junior college. But this is like…important. And scary. And my classmates will probably be…cool. With dyed hair and neat clothes and mad skills that I will SUCK in comparison to.
Anyway, that’s about all in my life. I listened to Bowling for Soup today and it made me think of some of my CA homies…in specific:
A few months ago they called me from a BFS concert while ‘Ohio (come back to Texas)’ was playing. It made me feel fuzzy.
I’m missing my peeps.
Today I saw a girl in this shirt:
(the text says, if you can’t read it, ‘Where my Peeps at?’…it amused me.)
