EDIT: As soon as I finished my bitching about credit ratings, Corrie called and told me we got the apartment! Yay! But I am still going to make sure I get a credit card and take out a small loan this year, just to make sure I don't freak out in the future.

In other news, my family continues to drive me nuts. To make things more difficult, my dad has to go back to work tomorrow, so I'm now stuck taking care of my mom starting tomorrow. I'm not trying to be selfish, but this is the absolute worst time for this to happen. I'm not sure they fully realize that in approximately two weeks I'm going to be gone and they're gonna have to figure out a new way to take care of things. I have a feeling that this is going to get ugly very fast, and probably right around Christmas when I have to tell the extended family that I'm leaving. As if I weren't already the black sheep of this family.

Still trying to get some work lined up for when I move. Talking about some website stuff; working on some management ideas. Then Corrie just sent me a cool ad for a new magazine for indie music in DC, so I just applied to be a writer for them...since I already write reviews it's no extra work, and it'd be extra visibility for me. Eventually they might even pay, so that would be cool.

I miss my man, too. We were supposed to hang out today but it never happened. Lousy timing for that...I really could have used some time off and a distraction. Welcome to my life, eh?
