Well, this is my first full day back. I survived. This morning, I got up early to go meet my boss and see about keeping my DQ Job. I got there at 8:00 a.m. and he wasn’t there. So I wait 20 minutes in a windbreaker jacket in 40 degree weather. He shows up, we talk, and I have gotten a raise, and in 30 days or less, I will get promoted and another raise, totalling $1.75+ an hour, to $8.00 at a country Dairy Queen! WooHoo!
After that, we went to the Ford dealership here in town and I got a silver 2000 Chevy Cavalier, with black fabric interior. It’s awesome. We went and drove it around awhile. The trouble for now is that paying for it almost broke me, and would have if it weren’t for my RA check. And the fact that I don’t have my license yet doesn’t help either. But we did establish some rules, which gives me a little more freedom from my “two-year punishment.” I can go anywhere, keeping in mind gas cost, I have to be back by 10:00 and tell my parents when I leave and am supposed to be back. I can also have friends over. I found out today…what a shocker! But only one or two at a time. They can even spend the night! But I have to tell my parents in advance and I have to keep in mind my work.
This is great though. Now, since I have met most of my friends parents, they can finally meet mine. I want Amy to meet them so I can see what they think of her. I already know what I think, and that is “I could say the phrase, and mean every word of it.”
Also, another thing that stinks is that I can’t use some of my stuff I brought back…Christmas Lights, fridge, tv, my shelves where I want to, my carpet. They say it is their room and I am not paying “apartment rent” so I can’t treat it like an apartment. That’s all right though. I am out of here as soon as possible…that is, as soon as I can support myself.
I’ll move out (hopefully to Longview) and get a job there, date Amy some more, may or may not marry her (too early to decide things like that, but I have to have options to work with). And go from there.
Well, my brother will be home soon, time for bed. Laterz.

2006:
I’ll be commenting in these entries periodically to post my memories from this entry, if any; and where certain things, that might have progressed beyond the journal, are today.
In this entry, I was excited to go to the dealership and look at getting new car. But as you’ll see later in the journal, those dreams and the memories that I associated with the car’s features were crushed by my parents.
I also made up the part about living with Jay in Longview as a hopefull backup story to give my parents in an effort to prove to them that I didn’t need them, didn’t want to be there, and was unhappy with their decision – and that I trusted my friends that I had known for 3-15 months more than I did them at that time.
I had lots of memories in the limited CDs and photos and other things that I was allowed/able to access – the things that I stowed away in my clothing bag.
