First things first, Yes I know it's been over a week since the last post I was kinda busy last week. Sorry.
Anyway for anyone who read the last part to this, I discussed how hard it was to stay in contact with my friends from high school. I guess when you really think about this is always destined to happen to everybody. They make friends, They lose friends, They gain new ones, etc, etc. It just something you wish you could stop at times. But I guess the memories will have to do.
Well let me say that things have not gotten easier in terms of contact with my friends. Friends number one on the previous post has stopped talking to me entirely. She blocked me on Facebook and blocked my email address. Guess we weren't very good friends. In retrospective, maybe I was a little pushy in trying to talk to her but honstely how hard is it to send a text message saying I'm doing ok I'm busy at the moment. Not hard but what's past is past. Friend Number 2 remains as elusive as ever but she's REALLY busy so I don't blame her for lack of contact.
But let's move to the present now. As I'm sure many of know, Mickey is in the Navy (no surpise there) but what you may not have known is that he is currently at sea....surround by seamen....tee hee hee. As he is my best friend, this has been hell for me. He has email on the ship but either he can't check it very often or he's really busy or doesn't have time to respond. Anyway, I'm alright cuz according to my Nickdar (now with more Mutant side-effects) he is currently on his way home (not here but back Stateside) so that makes me happy.
But let's move on to a friend who is here and has made me angry (something I rarely am). As some of you know, I've been doing a Halo Trip for awhile now. We go to a cabin in Southern Indiana and play video games for 5 days. It's good fun! So after talking to everyone who is interested, we determined that this was going to be the last trip. We agreed on the cabin that I picked out for it and we set a price. $215 per person for the whole trip. Not bad if I do say so. Well everyone thought that was ok and that was supposed to be that...not so. One person (Now called Mr. Pink) wasn't sure about the trip but after we had a little meeting with everyone, he was almost on board. Then a week later he backs out. Mr. Pink says he wouldn't have enough money to go. Now lets do some math children (based on what he sent me)
the money
$800-$1200 a month (income)
$400 (in the bank)
the minuses
$185 a month for car
$85 a month for insurance
$1500 for student loan due by the end of January
Let's say he makes $1000 a month from now till then (since it's Christmas season it'll probably be like that)
$5000 (including this month)
-$1500
-$1350 for car
-$500 for gas
+$400 from the bank
-$500 let's say for Credit Card
-$500 for food/entertainment
--------------------------------
$1050 remaining
The trip is in March. It just boggles the mind how he says he can't afford it but wants to buy a $2000 camera for shits and giggles. I rest my case
Read more! Maybe?
