javaviolet's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Will you be my penpal? Color me insane, but for the last week I have been on a quest. (Hence why no updates for so damn long.) What's my quest? I'm in serach of rekindling an old past time of mine : Writing to Pen Pals. When I was around 13 years old, I put a penpal ad in "Tiger Beat" magazine. (Remember that one, ladies?) Without my parents permission.. Such a bad girl! It was the dumbest ad ever.. My favorite shows were "Coach" and "90210". And I mentioned something about loving Shannon Doherty's hair. I was young and stupid. I thought no one in their right mind will write me.... Forward two weeks later... My mailbox was filled with letters from everywhere. Texas.. New York.. London.. Japan.. I was thrilled. When your a little kid, all the mail you ever get is that birthday card from your aunt. I kept in touch with 10 penpals. We wrote each other every month.. (stamps started to add up.) The 2 penpals I remember the most were Damn and Sal. Dawn was a sweet girl who was 2 years older then me. She lived with her family. She loved figure skating and disneyland vacations. We were close for years. I even got to meet her when she visited California. (That was odd story to be told at another time. Let's just say, she accidentally saw my dad walking around in his boxers. Poor girl is cared for life.) Sal was my heart. He was proof that you can have penpal that will make a difference in your life. He was this odd ball kid who would send me these extremely funny comics. And occasionally other odd items like the dead skin from his heel. (I said that he was odd ball.) And I adored him. We wrote each other for years. ... The first year of high school, though, the letters stop coming. I wrote.. and got nothing back. To this day I wonder about him. Did he die? Did he get himself a girlfriend? Did he move out of his parents house? Was he happy? The point of this story, is that I would LOVE to start to have penpals again. I would love to start writing to new interesting people again. So if your interested.. please email me @ dannyelfmanlover@lycos.com 5:08 pm - Apr. 15, 2004 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The New \"Big One\" in California? Expert Warns California to Brace for Big Quake Isn't that the scariest news? Well.. I guess if you don't live in California, it doesn't bother you much. But I do, so it bothers a hell of a lot.. I don't understand what the point of geophysicist saying this, though. What are we going to do about it? Move... Run away? The only good thing I can think about this prediction is to be a reminder for my family to get some safety supplies in storage. Some more water.. Peanut butter.. A first aid kit. All the things we always said we were going to get. Good Grief... I hate earthquakes.If anything were to happen, I'll try my best to let you all if I'm safe. And I expect the same from all my other California friends, like Linds. 3:47 pm - Apr. 15, 2004 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tax Day TAX DAY!! Just a little reminder to get your taxes in today! I sent my state out yesterday.. I thought originally that I wasn't going to get anything from state, so I wasn't going to send it out. I felt weird though. I had always sent both federal and state together. Never just one! So I went over it again.. and guess what? I get $8 back from state. So I got some money after all! It pays to re check things! 3:37 pm - Apr. 15, 2004 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Queen of Debt I know that I have reached the pinnacle of adulthood. I currently look at the coffee table full of "Past Due" bills, and it all makes me feel extremely uneasy. I understand these people deserve to get paid...but every time I have tried to work something out with them.. They're less then responsive. I cannot help the fact that both my parents were in the hospital last year! I cannot help the fact that I was wrongly fired from my main job. I cannot help the fact I accidentally cut my wrist during Thanksgiving.. causing me to lose 3 months of looking for work. But creditors never want to hear that. Nooo..
You say "I can get you $150 by the end of the month". Bastards! 1:54 pm - Apr. 15, 2004 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
