Blah. What a shit day. Work was so stupid. Things were alright for a couple hours there, but then I wasn't able to eat lunch until after 3 PM and that was pretty annoying. Tomorrow will be worse, and Friday even worse than that. I don't think I mentioned this before, but Paul's visiting Pete Gerharz in San Francisco so I'm trying to do most of his work. It sucks a lot, but what's worse is that I'm alone all day in that stupid cube. I'm so tired of it.

Ugh. My parents just got home from some class they're taking. Now, my parents are great and everything, but I can't even explain how annoying they can be. It's not like they're doing anything. Just the fact that they're IN THE HOUSE makes me want to bash my head into a wall sometimes. I feel pretty bad about it too, cuz they're nothing but amazing to me. I think I'm just ready to move the hell out of here. So ready. Only $45,000 in loans to go.

I just talked to Kate a little while ago. Usually she makes me feel a lot better about work and everything, but she's in a shitty mood too. It's so hard to try and make her feel better when I'm like this.

I guess things aren't really as bad as I'm making them sound. Besides having to work and live at home, everything is actually great. Things with Kate are so wonderful. I've never gotten so much out of a relationship before. I'm playing guitar and writing better than ever these days, strangely. I still haven't sat down and recorded anything worth listening to, but I feel like I'll be able to soon. I'm going to visit Bill in Arizona in a couple weeks. I get to see my sister, if only for a few hours. We're going to Cancun in December. See, Rick? Not all bad. Must focus on good.

Why hasn't Bill posted in over a week? I'm pissed.

I think I might go to sleep early tonight. Wowza. Bye bye for now.
