I've been taking the inefficient public transport systems to various nearby "cities" [three restaurants in close proximity is a city]. Bay Area is clean, corporate, and clean. Very sunny, some great places:
- Streetlight Records @ Bascom in San Jose-ish (gave in résumé, bought mutual appreciation)
- On The Corner Music @ Downtown Campbell (records for 50 cents! got tea for the tillerman, rumours [fleetwood mac, not ms. lohan], the gambler, and jethro tull's aqualung = $2!)
- Rasputin Music @ Campbell (bought me and you and everyone we know [because i am a miranda july fan who has not seen it yet. shame], and kids! yes yes really really wanna work at the one in mountain view... gave in my résumé at both stores)
- Borders @ stanford's university avenue (bought empire records ... applied to work, rode my bicycle bicycle away)
- BookBuyers @ castro st in mountain view (OH. MY. FUCKING. GOD!!! a used everything store. so wonderful. got middlesex, waiting for godot, as i lay dying, and nada surf's high/low [finally]. gave in my résumé)
with my first paycheck (after paying my parents back the collective $400 i owe), I will buy a PXL 2ooo. i have decided.
as you can see, in between getting everywhere and buying dvds and such i spent quite a lot (though not as much as if they were new) and now i feel intensely bad because i heard my dad complaining about money to my mum and if i don't get a job soon i can't pay them back what i already owe and even if i do pay back at a later date, it's now that they need the money. oh fuck i am so spoiled. and i hate myself so much for it. yet here i am listing everything i've bought. i'm just so bored i need to shop to while away the time. but now i have a bicycle and since riding it is the utmost fun i will spend my time doing that instead. it's better for the heart.
and my dad and i are having fights because i am not womanly and don't know how to cook or clean up after myself the way i should and it pisses him off, really gets on his various nerves. i can see him burning boiling everytime i use a utensil. i have entered his space.
sometimes i hate that i can't please everyone, especially not my parents.
