Today, I went to about 6 places to apply for jobs. One place said the position was filled, another said they wanted someone more temporary and may call me back if they need someone right away while searching for someone more permanent, and the other places haven't told me yet that they don't want me. Ha!

Scarily enough, I even applied at 2 Great American Bagels. I had to. I'm desperate. It did smell really good in there though. And it was air conditioned. Not like the video store and cleaners. Yuck.

I also applied to Walgreens because a new one is springing up on Lagrange. That means they're hiring lots of people, and that means a better chance for me to get a job there.

OH! And I have big news. I made myself a promise not too long ago. I would buy myself that electric-acoustic guitar I saw at Rossi Music either when I got a job and got my first paycheck, or saved up $100 in change. Well... sad as it may be, I saved up $100 in change first. I've been saving it for a long time, and I knew I had to cash it in at some point. I just gave myself a reason to cash it in. So! I have $100, and then I'll take out $120 from my savings account, and I'll buy myself that guitar. I'm so anxious, but I don't want to do it RIGHT away. I'll probably go to the bank tomorrow. But I'm going to try not to go to Rossi Music. I'll go later this week or something, try out the guitar again, and make SURE it's really the one I want. Maybe I'll make someone go with me and I'll try out other ones there. There weren't too many other ones, but that's okay. I just always feel like I'm an impulse buyer. When I'm looking for something, the first thing I see that's what I want, I buy. Then again, maybe I just have a good eye, and I find exactly what I was thinking of and buy it because I know it's perfect. I don't know.

But, I do know that the guitar I tried was nice. I'm not one of those people that's majorly concerned with brand name or great sound. I think if you're good enough, you can make a cheaper guitar sound great. I'm not going to pay $500+ for a guitar when a $200 one is fine for me. Plus, I think it's good to work with the sound your guitar has instead of trying to change it. Like I love the acoustic guitar I have, even though I sometimes have trouble playing it, it's missing the 6th string, and it's older. I think that makes it better.

I'm rationalizing too much I think. Bah!

Well, I guess I could go to bed now. Well, after I do the couple things I have to do.
