So, I made it down here safely. Left on Wednesday morning with my bed strapped to my roof and the stuff in the back pressed against my seats. Couldn't even see out the back window, which really annoyed me. I didn't encounter any problems, really, other than a small hiccup in New York that cost us about a half hour, but most of that is due to traffic. Had to stay at an inn that night, because neither the guy I was riding down with nor me could stay awake any longer. Woke up 10am the next day and left within an hour. Dropped Aaron (The guy carpooling with me) off in Tallahasse, then drove the 5 hours down to Avon Park. I got in around 12:30am on Friday morning. Slept late, we woke up and Snow took me around to get things like license and registration for my car, to show me the area, and to try the Habitat for Humanity store for some furniture, which was a bust unfortunately. Actually everything was a bust that day, due to forms needing to be signed out for most of the stuff. The only thing I got accomplished was lots of food shopping. (Snow has NOTHING. Not even spices!)
Hung around most of the weekend cause I was reliant upon Snow for rides around. Had myself my first Icee in 4 years! Blue raspberry, the ONLY flavor that exists. Watched some movies, played some Xbox. Snow has a game called Dishonored, which is pretty interesting. Its like a steampunk assassination game.
Today we went and got a Florida license, and my car registered, which means I'm no longer on unofficial house arrest! Woohoo! Tomorrow I head down to Sebring to go to Brenner Pottery and inquire about a job. Hopefully that goes well because, damn, I am blowing through cash. 200$ at Walmart, 420$ for registration, 360$ in gas, 70$ for car parts, 150$ for insurance (60 of which was to get collision for the way down), 100$ in cash for the way down... overall about 1300$ in less than a week. I can REALLLLLLLLY feel that when I don't have a current job. Hell, that's more than I made in a month! I still need to get just a few things; namely some kitchen stuff, like a knife that I can't saw against my hand and not break skin (Snow), a cutting board (Snow...), and a few wooden/plastic utensils to not ruin my nonstick pans (SNOW!!!). Also, I need a dresser. I'm considering making my own bedframe, if I can get the materials for fairly cheap... But I also don't have a lot of the tools needed for that, soooooo....
Thats whats going on so far. Feel like I'm gonna get crispy fried every 2pm, but thats about it!

I live here so i can knock it
Home of hurricanes, tornadoes, gators, snakes, spiders, bad drivers, and illogical lines of thinking that push limits of un reason.
