Good times...then real life.

So Jeff and Mike are really great people. Not only are they allowing me to stay here, he is offering me things that he buys, food, etc. and personal space. His boyfriend will return from Argentina tomorrow morning and he says he will talk to him about my keeping his room until I move out. Even if I don't, sleeping on their luxury couch won't be at all bad. In fact, it is more cushioned than the beds at my last apartment complex.

I want to be rich enough.

Today was another 11 hour shift in the corn fields bagging ears and helping record the mutant scoring. I won't be going to the field tomorrow ... Although I could tell that my boss really wanted me to go. I know that they have a lot to do. If I work 11 hrs in one day, I only gross 77 bucks. That's sad. 77 dollars! If I worked a solid 24 hours, I'd only gross $168 bucks. My father, who makes over 23 an hour, would gross $552. That's 3.3 times as much money! For every hundred I make I probably lose 35 in taxes.

I want an income that will allow me live comfortably.

Anyways, we played a card game: Dilbert. It was fun and with MAMA's (gay mans nickname) help I did fine. When on my own, I lost my luck and became the "asshole" or loser in the card game. Everyone was really nice in explaining how to play. I've never played card games before.

Additionally, I found out the someone I met in the past and never really but almost dated didn't move alway like he said he was going to for his PhD program. At least it seems that way. Shady. I was pretty dumb in the past in how I "fell" for guys. But what can you expect when you are 19 and 20 and searching for that "perfect" love. I wanted for the next guy to be my dream guy. I know, I was rushing things. I was so insecure that noone could like me ..and maybe still am insecure about that. Not sure if things will go anywhere with Liou...he could become the best friend that I never had.

School is a more important issue. I need to focus on academics and stop working so much. I promised myself that I would review Math and Chem and Physics and Japanese. 64 hour work weeks consume so much energy that little is left for anything else than showering and sleeping and eating. I know, I'm young. Back to the gym tomorrow...I promise. Energy up. Fiber up. Protein up. Calories down. Maybe. Yay.
