A late night entry about not much
I don't really have that much to say tonight. I'm just bored and can't think of anything better to do. I'm back at school after a glorious spring break. The only upside is that my birthday is on Saturday. I'm really excited but also upset. I think it's because it doesn't seem like a real birthday. You know the ones with piles of presents and birthday cakes. Sure I still got presents, but it was mostly in the form of money. Not that I'm complaining about having money. I guess it's like my first real "adult" birthday; my first birthday away from home. I guess on the bright side, Lindsay is taking me and Rachel out to Kent State's five star restaraunt, the Schwebel Garden room for dinner on Friday. I also ordered a whole bunch of new clothes today.
I'm also concerned about my bank account. Since my bank's on campus branch basically consists of two ATMs, I do all of my deposits and whatnot via those ATMs. I had deposited a check from my dad (birthday money) on Tuesday and another check on Wednesday (more birthday money). I used the online banking service today to help me balance my checkbook and noticed that although Wednesday's deposit had already been credited to my account, Tuesday's deposit was nowhere to be found even in the pending transactions section. I sent a note to the banking people via e-mail to find out what's up. I should be hearing from them in the next 24 hours.
I have a check card which I use all the time. I am beginning to think that I might be better off without it most of the time. At the beginning of last semester my mom ordered 100 checks for me to use during this school year. I have used about five because I am usually too lazy or impatient to take the time to actually write out a check. Therefore I'm left with about ninety-five checks that will become useless to me in about a month because they all have my current address which will not be my address next year. I'm thinking when I order checks for next year I'll order the minimum, since I probably won't be using that many of them anyway.
Okay so this is actually like ten minutes later but I actually thought of something I had to say. I hate all these people who have to pretend like they are the hippest people out there by being anti-hip. You know the type. The people who were listening/reading/watching whatever "before" it was cool to do it. The worst are these pseudo-intellectuals who throw in a large word at any available moment to make themselves look smarter and better when in actuality they end up looking like a bigger ass. I don't understand these people. I have found that while they condemn hypocrisy, they are some of the most hypocritical people I have ever had the displeasure to come across in my life. They also feel the need to condemn "mainstream America" and consumerism without realizing that they are as much a part of it as anyone else. Wearing all black and Buddy Holly/Elvis Costello glasses and regurgitating whatever inane facts you happened upon doesn't make you smart or cool. I know that I am not the smartest, most informed or most educated person on this planet. But I don't pretend that I am. The only thing I have ever done is to be myself. And if that's not good enough for you, leave me the hell alone.
