Also, I am not so much ascared of the debt consolidation as that I am actually unable to use the phone for non-work and non-completely personal reasons. I realize I should probably seek therepy, but I find it unpossible to even do things like order pizza on the telephone.

It is amazing to me the weird things I do to avoid my nueroses-- like, I just don't use the phone. Or, because I hate finding a parking spot and parking (it makes me nervous) I only go places where there is plentiful parking, even if I have to pay.

Timelies all!

I got my first credit card in college. I still have the card.(It's actually the only card I really use) Aside from when I was unemployed a few years back, I've payed each month's bill in full. Just how I am, I guess.

My office does not care enough about my ass, I must say. They won't replace my office chair that has lost all cushioning. My ass is killing me, all day long!

I am a little scared to find out this is the kind of joke that kids tell in junior high school

well, junior high school 20 some odd years ago! I have a very strong feeling that it was a joke overheard and retold. My guess is none of us really understood it at the time.

Aw Sophia, that is unfortunate. If you have free counseling through work I would totally look into it and see if it helps at all.

new car

I'd look at getting a new car (and by new I mean low-milage used) if the repairs cost more than a down-payment AND I have enough cushion in my monthly budget for whatever the monthly payment will be, or if I have enough savings to just pay cash.

if the repairs cost more than a down-payment

Okay, I'm a ways from that.

Sophia, they've recently prosecuted a bunch of consolidation guys, so it should be a cleaner more honest market out there. Doesn't cost anything (I think) to dip your toe in.

is it wrong that I want to pat your head and say bunny bunny bunny?

so I am stuck in a cheesy hotel lobby, sitting on a cheap sofa and listening to Mariah Carey. WAH.

Pregnancy makes JZ MEAN!

She's always been that way.

Thanks for the Birthday wishes everyone! I went out with Juliana yesterday night, and am still not quite recovered. There were bars and boys and Frenet and stephtinis and mojitos. It was LEGENDARY :)

Hi Natterbugs! I skipped to share some pictures from San Francisco. No time, no captions.
