Forgetting Sarah Marshall

I just finished sewing new buttons onto my coat. The coat is brand new and it's this deep green-blue color. The buttons that came on the coat were fine but the zipper and accents are made of bronze so I went and bought some bronze buttons. Lauren and I went out to get my buttons earlier today, before she had to go to work. I had some business to take care of in Bourbonnais during the day so I didn't mind hanging out with her for a while. We went to Michael's but they don't carry fashion buttons, only "novelty" buttons. What the hell is a novelty button? The old woman clerk pointed us in the direction but we couldn't find them so neither of us know still was a novelty button is. The new Hobby Lobby is up and running where the old Walmart used to be, so we headed in there and found not only buttons but a bunch of really cool, useless things like iron-on felt decor and plastic fruit. There were a gang of three white gangsters in hobby lobby roaming around so out of place amongst all of the eldery woman in the store which we later found out to be only there to buy yellow, grey and black colored bandanas. It's a good thing I didn't have any cash on me! I read today on my Panda Express reciept that if you take the two minutes to submit a survey on the phone to panda express they will give you a free 2 entree meal for free. I've been keeping all of my reciepts lately which is why I read it in the first place, but I just found it astonishing that most people throw those things away without even realizing that they're throwing away free food. The reciepts I'm keeping help me to account for every single cent I spend. Not only is personal book-keeping essential for future financial stability, but I find it to be a joyous pass-time for someone with out of control OCD like myself. The math is remedial. I had some bullshit to deal with at verizon wireless today, too. my bill was 190 bucks. fuck that shit. i had, for a while, had my phone turned off up until the 7th of november, when i went in to pay my enourmous balance. i talked to a woman named Bee. i disconnected one of the lines on my account that day, and long story short, they billed me for two lines this month. i went in today to dispute it but they were not cooperating so i left. i'll deal with that on wednesday.
i feel like a fat ass, considering all that i've eaten today. that's usually what happens on my days off. even working two jobs i have too many days off. i just want my mobo and hard drive to arrive so i can put my PC together. something to keep my hands busy for a while. and i get kind of upset thinking about how i sent in my application so early and got accepted already, and now i don't have going to college in the front of my thoughts anymore. i sit on my ass all day knowing that i'm going to school but feeling absolutely no pressure to get anything done because for all i know i'm prepared to head out. i just sit and eat. i don't know how i maintain, it's a natural wonder. before i got my admitance letter i was up in arms about getting all of my stuff organized and making a plan on what i'll need to have to be ready to actually get my shit done, but now the work is over and i'm just floating again. my brain works really hard when it's under pressure but not at all when i'm relaxed. i don't like that about myself. hopefully i'll have enough books to drown myself in by the time august rolls around.
