I bought my very first car last March (almost one year ago). Since then: When I first registered the car, my license plate got lost in the mail. I received two parking tickets for not having a license plate, even though I clearly still had a valid temporary license plate taped up in my rear windshield. I sent in two letters to contest these tickets, and never heard anything back about them, so...

View Poll: It's survey time. As for question 1, I will most likely just put the tax refund money towards my credit card balance (which I have already greatly reduced, after moving to my new apartment, yay!)... but I have been wanting a new TV for quite some time... hmmm.

So, let me start this off by saying that I haven't read my LJ friends page in probably over a month. I apologize if I missed anything important. I'll try to catch up later today. I just finished my 8-week beginner ceramics class. Some of the stuff I made turned out sort of halfway decent! But everything I made ended up being way too small for practical use. All of my bowls are too small for cereal...

GUYS. I have developed a handy set of rules to keep in mind, just in case any of you were thinking about calling me for tech support any time soon: Calm down. If you are frustrated with whatever you are doing, to the point where you cannot even speak in complete sentences or describe what your problem is, don't call me. Don't call anyone. No one wants to hear your insane ramblings ("It just keeps...

Just caught up on my friends page, from like, two weeks ago. Blah. So I signed up for a ceramics class, with former roommate Lena, and the new roommate who replaced me (Bonnie). We've had two sessions so far, and it's been pretty fun! I totally suck at wheel throwing, though. I've been able to make a few usable pieces, but they never turn out quite the way I want. Plus, I have a hard time getting...

So I've officially lived at my new apartment for a whole week! It's crazy. It's amazing how much I don't miss my old place at all. I mean, it was a great apartment, and it was probably the coolest place I'll ever have lived, and it was my first place in the city, etc... but I really don't miss it that much. I mean, all my stuff is here in the new place -- it already kind of feels like home. And I'll...

I unconsciously just start cracking my knuckles all the time, whenever I'm standing around or don't have anything to do with my hands... I'm starting to wonder if it bothers people? View Poll: Finger Popping Rapture

This morning, as I was getting off the subway, I almost ran in to someone. This guy and I were walking in opposite directions such that we were about to collide right in to each other, so we both stopped. I said "excuse me," looked up, and realized that this guy was wearing a suit, with a top hot and a cane, and that his clothing and entire body was completely covered in silver metallic paint. It's...

Flirting. Man, flirting is just THE WORST. For someone who is as awkward and completely devoid of social skills as myself, any interaction that could remotely be described as "flirtatious" just invariably ends up backfiring. I am just not dealing with that shit anymore. Obviously, since I have been dating Brandon steadily for 3 years, I have only been involved in the following two types of flirting...

After months of debating the idea of moving back home to Michigan, I finally decided against it. Though Michigan has all of my favorite people, and I will still be visiting frequently on the weekends, I can't really justify moving back right now. The economy in Michigan is complete shit, first of all -- according this site, it's actually the worst state: http://www.indeed.com/jobtrends/unemployment...
