If Only I Could Afford Freedom Friday, February 18, 2005
Man, I tell you what. I am so irritated. Let me explain. When I was younger I could afford to live on my own because I didn't have any credit card debt and I didn't have a car payment. Those were the days. Now I have all this debt so I can't afford to live on my own. I am really darn close, but not quite close enough. So here's the problem. I think I was made to live alone. I don't mean that in a "poor me I am so alone!" kind of way. I mean for real. Tonight I got home from work, went out to dinner with my roommate, and came back home from dinner and wanted to let go for awhile and listen to some music and dance around my room. But could I? NOOOOOO Why not? Because my freaking roommate went to bed. I was dancing around the room and he comes into my room and says, "Ummm I am trying to sleep." MY GOD! It's freaking Friday night and 10:30! Arrrrrrgh!!! He doesn't even have to work tomorrow. I DO! But not him. I wanted to have a little fun before I went to bed and enjoy myself. I have to work 12 days in a row so I don't get a weekend. So I just wanted to have a little bit of fun. But NOOOOOOO my lame ass cousin has to sleep trhough his weekend. This is why I need to live ALONE. So I can do what I want, whenever I want.
So my plan is to start paying off my car. I mean... really paying it off. Huge payments. And maybe even... a second job! It will be worth it. I need to live on my own again. I don't know. Maybe I am just over reacting. Maybe I am glad I live with someone. I remember the last time I lived alone. I met some guys that helped me move, buttered me up, lied to me, then made my life a fucked up mess. Hmm... Good times!
So I have good news. I have officially lost 11 pounds. I am half way there! I went out for dinner tonight so I am sure I gained some back, but it was sooo good. However, tomorrow I am back on track. No more cheating for two weeks. I have to admit. I am starting to look better. I can actually fit into some clothes I couldn't before. Yay! (does happy dance)
Bad news: I have only lost 11 pounds in 9 weeks. That means I am losing 1.2 pounds a week. At this rate I won't be able to lose all 22, but hey... 20 pounds is still awesome. If I am brave enough I may put a before and after picture up. However, I doubt it.

I totally know what you mean about living on your own. I can't live w/ppl either. I'm way too anal and like my space. It's costing me a bit more, but I have that shred of my sanity left I suppose.
Congrats on losing the eleven, that's awesome hun! [Solitary17]

i completely understand about the roommate thing. i commend you for being able to do it... you have the patience to deal with it. or maybe i'm just too selfish with my personal space. if i had a roommate, i'd probably hide from them all the time. ;)
11 pounds is something you should be really proud of. you set a goal, and you got halfway... losing weight takes willpower. you rock :D [mayonessa]

Congrats on losing the weight. Go You!!!
As for your roommate I'm sorry. I know how you feel. I live with my parents. It completely sucks but I KNOW that I couldn't afford to live on my own right now. Plus my parents are going to help me with my baby and everything. I'll be getting my own place when I'm out of school though. I'm already planning for it. [One Crazy Mom]

by the way, have you seen team america: world police? according to the movie, freedom costs a "buck o' five" ;) [mayonessa] 2/19/2005 2:38:22 AM
RYN: I was going 56 in a 40, but the stupid officer told me I was in a 35 area. Then he told me that I technically was in a 30. This is all bullshit because I know I was in a 40 but I didn't feel like arguing with him. It's ok because I just have to go to driving school anyway...regardless of what speed limit zone I was in.

that is a very healthy weight loss that is likely to stay off [Celtic Rayne] 2/20/2005 2:17:46 PM

I say kill the roommate.. then if your really bad you can get solitary confinment in prison!!
Hmm.. actually, i take that back. Thats not good advice.
And congrats on the weight loss. Keep up the good work. [LastInLine]
