Stuff

Feeling sick today. VERY sick. But too much to do.

My left brain and my right brain are at war right now over Disneyland in February. One side says I can't afford it and I ned to get my license back so I really shouldn't even consider going. The other side, however, keeps pointing out that Brittany will only ever have *1* "Ver First Time At Disneyland", and I don't want to miss that.

Our English friend Sam is moving back to England today at around 2pm, and that makes me sad. Since he owes his room-mate $4000, he wants to sell his computer for $500. He *bought* it for $500, used, about a year ago... why should he expect that anybody would pay that much for an out-dated computer? And he wonders why no one has responded to any of the adds he has posted around the U-District. We offered him $400 paid off over the next 5 or 6 months which is about $100 over what the entire set-up is worth... we'll see what he thinks.

He sort of kind of accidentally rammed his room mates car in to a deer in the middle of the night. The car runs fine, but needs a bit of cosmetic repairs and to have the air bags re-packed. The room mate is planning on just selling the car for scrap and taking whatever he can get for it off the $4000 owed by Sam.

a scrapped car and used computer isn't going to get him far on a $4000 tab!

Yeah, he'll be in debt to Will (the room mate) forever. Worst of all, Will is quite wealthy! When the car got wrecked, he just went out and bought a new one and and told Sam to take his time paying it off. But Sam, he's too good of a man for that. Even though he is somewhat poor, he insists on selling all his stuff to try and pay it off as soon as possible.

That's a bit silly then. Although I give him great credit for being an honest man

They don't come much better than our Sammers :) He'll have your back in a bar fight, and cry to you all night long about his lost love. Oh, and he's paranoid like a chronic pot smoker.

I hope to not have to deal with bar fights.
paranoia is a bitch
