So it's been like 5 days since ANYONE has posted on LJ.  What is up with that yo. 

I'm finally getting in the "now" with my music selections.  Well...as far as getting updated, I'm a little behind.  I just got Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream and Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness; and like three of Tori Amos' older stuff.  I'm working on Nirvana's entire collection and one of my favorite bands from when I was a teenager - Viva Voce.  My iPod is going to AWESOME!

In other good news, I'm so very stoked to say that the Smashing Pumpkins are back together and have a new CD!  WOOHOO!  That's so exciting.

Not to much is new on the home front.  So...yea.

PEACE!

And let me just say a hearty fuck you to all the ignorant asshole Pennsylvanians who voted for Governor Ed Rendell.  He's an effing douchebag.  I warned you all.  He doesn't care for the families in this state, or for anything other than fucking Philly for that matter.  

Every year, the Governor and the state work together and approve the budget.  However, ever year that this assclown has been in office, it's apparently been denied time after time and takes forever to get approved.  It was due (according to our State Constitution) on June 30, 2007 for the 07-08 Fiscal year.  It is STILL is not approved.  

As of this Monday, July 9th, at least 25,000 State employees will be getting furloughed (laid off) until the budget is approved.  The last time the furloughs were innacted was in 1991, when they were in effect for 34 days.  

Did you know that this tool is wanting to give everyone a "benefit charge" on electric (fucking taxes) that will, for families, equal $5.40 a year; but, for businesses, cost up to $10,000 a year?  Fucking rediculous!  

"Gov. Rendell said the tax will help pay for itself, generating $1 billion in utility savings by requiring "smart meters" to be installed in homes and business across the state. The meters tell users when it's most and least expensive to use their appliances; reducing usage during peak hours would reduce electricity delivery and acquisition prices."

What?  Are you freaking kidding me?  Turn your lights off.  That's how you save energy.  Unplug things when you're not using them.  Smart meters.  What the Fuck.

So thanks your stupid ass idea Rendell and to your dumb voters, I might not have a job next week.  That means ZERO dollars coming in and still the $1086 a month I have to fork out.  FUCK YOU.

OK.  I'm almost at the uber pissed point.  Zach.  My hottie sales guy.  

He and I were supposed to go out for dinner on Saturday, the 16th.  Well, I never heard from him after the confermation about where we were going and when we were meeting.  Later that night, he texts me and says that his sister had overdosed and was in the hospital all evening.  Whatever.  I gave him the benefit of the doubt because of the fact that had it really been true and I didn't believe him, that would really suck on my behalf.  We continued to text throughout the week and I was having some friends over for a midnight swimming party on Friday, the 22nd.  He says he wants to go.  Friday after work, I check and make sure and then give him directions to my house.  At 9pm, I text him to see if he's still coming and he confirmed it.  That's the last I hear from him.  

Whatever.  Eff you buddy.  AND the horse you rode in on.

Fast forward to today.  I'm sitting at my desk and my purse begins to vibrate.  I check and lo and behold! it's a text from Zach.  He says (and I quote) "Hey.  I been in hospital since 6 on fri. I'm so sorry.  i been thinkin of you all weekend."  

Aside from the absolute horrible grammar displayed, I sincerely do NOT believe him.  If he was in there at 6pm, why the fuck would he tell me at 9pm that he'd be at my house?!?!?!?!?!?!?!  Don't fucking lie to my face asshole.  If you're a commit-a-phobe, then sell your wares elsewhere.  I don't have time for this kind of bullshit anymore.  I'm not in high school.  I don't want to go back.  Take responsibility damnit.  If you don't like me - fucking tell me.  If you don't feel comfortable enough to hang out yet - TELL ME.  Douche bag.  Don't make up really lame excuses.

If this wasn't an excuse (which I completely, highly doubt) then this kid has the worst luck EVER.

I'm absolutely speechless that neighbors can be like THIS.  I mean really.  That's just rediculous.

And Noble, your theory on squirrels may have spread to the rats.

INSANE.

So I'm supposed to hang out with Adam tonight.  He knows that it's just friends stuff.  But I'm hoping it's not going get weird and uncomfy.  We'll see.  

I'm finding myself still attracted to him, but all the reasons that I broke up with for are still there and uncool.  I hate that.  I don't want to let myself like do anything with him because that would, in a sense, just be using him to suppress my physical needs of the moment.  I hated when guys did that to me, so why should I do it someone else.

ANYWAYS.  I want to go for a ride in Pennsylvania State Police helicopter.  I think it would be mucho fun and not too scary.  I'm working on talking them into giving me a complimentary ride during one of my lunch breaks.  We'll see I guess.

There's not a whole lot to report.  Caitlin has another ear infection.  I've been talking to Zach, the guy that sold me my Saturn.  We're trying to set up a time to go out together.  He's a hottie.  Thus far he seems normal.  Good teeth, nice eyes, seems like a nice guy.  But we've all seen where that has gotten me in the past.  So I'm not going to get my hopes up.  I've been talking to Rose about the possibility of getting an apartment together.  That could be fun.  I'll keep you posted on that situation.  I really need to get out of my parents house.  There's no room for me to be me.  Not to mention the fact that I'm now 26 years old and need that independence.  *SIGH*   

Peace out to all my peeps.
