Resolution 6

Well, I had hoped that this year was going to be better than last, but it doesn't look like it. Saturday morning, I got an envelope shoved under my door by the apartment management team. They're raising my rent, again. It's only $15, but that's not the point. This is the third time in a year they've raised my rent. I've been on a month to month lease for the last year, and in the state of Colorado, renters don't seem to have a lot of rights in this type of situation. So, it looks like I'm pretty screwed. I need to find a cheaper apartment, but I'd still have to come up with the money for moving and deposit and all that garbage. Crap!

At any rate, this apartment situation I'm in, on top of everything else, is making it pretty tough to put a positive spin on things. Now I'm beginning to rethink the idea that I want to become a better person. What I really want is to become an avenging angel and napalm all money-grubbing landlords, moronic supervisors, corporations who are no longer sympathetic to the needs of their employees, and I could go on, but you get the picture.

Thank god I've still got friends who are able to take me away from the vulgarities of real life and introduce me to the most excellent make believe worlds. On Saturday night, I spent the evening watching episodes of "Supernatural" with a friend of mine. Even though I had never seen the show before, I found it impossible to not thoroughly enjoy watching random episodes from seasons 3 and 4. My most wonderful friend let me borrow her season 1 DVDs, and now I'm hopelessly hooked. I can guarantee I will be borrowing seasons 2 through 4 from her in the very near future.

I work early in the morning, and I like to read before I fall asleep, so I'm usually in bed before evening TV starts. Because of this, I rarely get introduced to new shows. I don't really miss much where most shows are concerned, but I can definitely say that I've missed some gems. I think "Supernatural" is one of them. One day I'll talk more about my television habits, but today is not that day. Lets just say that the older I've gotten, the pickier I've become.

At any rate, thank you my dear Ali. Without you and your excellent taste in TV, the anger would have festered and my visions of destruction would have grown more and more wild, probably concluding with me exploding. Since I'm a bit of a big girl, that would have been one hell of a mess.
