The Great Depression

I cannot wait to see the movie "Juno", opening on December 5th. I had a dream about buying tickets in advance. (I also dreamed that Oprah yelled at me about littering, but that's beside the point.) I am really excited about seeing a female lead that is sarcasticly funny, her male counterpart who is nowhere near stud-muffin qualification, and a film written by an ex-stripper. Ah, Diablo Cody, how I do love you. And, to top it all off, my favorite song by the Moldy Peaches is in the trailer! It's gonna be orgasmically funny...and this coming from someone who rarely laughs out loud at anything.

Besides my estatic anticipation of the Juno movie, I am battling my own self-hatred for my lack of transportation. My current car, the little ford escort that I have a love-hate relationship with, is about to clunk out on me. So, I have been trying to get a new car, and I went today to the bank, and it turns out that having NO credit sucks just as hard as having really bad credit (at least from my point of view.) Its become this big headache that I can't even get into right now, I'm just so damn frustrated.

This is one of those times in my life when I have plenty of things to look forward to, but the present moment is killing me. I have yet to leave the job I hate with a firey passion, and probably won't be able to for a long time. And, the job I love is unable to give me full-time employment status, which probably wouldn't help me any because I can barely clock enough hours as it is, what with my sucky unreliable car and all. (It's not particularly worth it to drive all the way from one side of town to the other in a car that is dire need of a new transmission for only three hours work.) My mom has been driving me everywhere, including driving me crazy.

I think the only thing that has gotten me through this entire month and a half has been the things that I have been looking forward to. E-Fest was good, though not exactly what I had expected...although I didn't really have any expectations (for once). In the next few weeks I have the JUNO movie, Atomic Holiday Bazaar, My Birthday (though I'm not really looking forward to it...just something to do.) and Christmas (which surprisingly, I'm not really looking forward to either.)

If anyone knows of a way to cheer youself up if you are in a situation like mine, please don't hesitate to share. I'll try not to be sarcastic.
