Anyway You Want It

Alrighty folks. I GOT THE JOB. Yes, score one for this guy. I got the job. I got the job. I got the job. My regular schedule is beast: 8AM-4PM Tuesday-Saturday. I get Sundays and Mondays off, holla! I start Monday for training. I really hope this goes well. I'm pretty nervous, but I normally am before starting something new. I actually always feel nervous when I go to work, but maybe this will be different because I'm not working at Blockbuster or Things Remembered... I'm going to go with that. So yeah, $12 an hour, paid weekly, score one for this guy. I'm putting together a notebook for my finances, and wow. I'm already feeling the crunch. My rent is $525... not including utilities at my house. That's okay, $625 a month on my pay isn't horrible. But oh wait, deposit is one month's rent... so August is going to hit me HARD. Thank goodness I won't have to spend a lot of money in July because I'd be up a creek without a paddle. I'm still nervous about all of this. I know I could save about $600-$700 a month being at home, but really, I might lose my mind. Correction: I would lose my mind. I can't handle it at all. No privacy. No freedom. I'm 13 all over again, and I can't handle it. I don't like having everything I do questioned. After four years, I'm not resorting back to a high school level of living. I think this will be good for me. It's just for a year, then we'll see where the world takes me. I can't worry about anything. I mean, I have to, but right now it's killing me worrying about everything. One step at a time.

Day 21 - A Song That You Listen to When You're Happy

I chose "Lucky" by Jason Mraz and Colbie Caillat. I'm obviously not in a relationship, but I just enjoy this song. It makes me think of the beach. It's a happy, fun song. No big story. :) Best cover art, by the way.

Day 22 - A Song That You Listen to When You're Sad

I chose "Hallelujah" by Rufus Wainwright. It's not a tragically sad song, but it brings my sorrow together so I can focus on it and get over it. It's a haunting song, especially when Imogen Heap sings it. I have always liked Rufus. His songs are pretty great without being whiny and over-dramatic.

Day 23 - A Song That You Want to Play at Your Wedding

I chose "Cradlesong" by Rob Thomas. I try not to choose the same artists, but I've thought about this song for a while now. I talked about this in my last blog, but it'll either be the first song to which we dance, my mother-son song (although I'd rather pick a different Matchbox/Rob song for Mom because I see the song differently), or something I'll sing during the wedding as a surprise... hopefully that person will never read my blog, haha.

Day 24 - A Song That You Want to Play at Your Funeral

Shouldn't it say "you want played?" Anyway, I chose Joe Cocker's version of the Beatles classic "With a Little Help from My Friends." First of all, it reminds me of "The Wonder Years." Second, I chose this version because it's slower than the Beatles version. It brings a lot of emotions to the table. I enjoy it a lot. :) I want people to hear it and cry. As long as they don't look at this cover art... it's freaky.
