Give Me Back My Five Bucks

Candie over at Broke and not so Fabulous has tagged me! “Rules: Once you’ve been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you and post it. At the end, choose 5 people to be tagged. If I tagged you, it’s because I want to know more about you.” Aside from when I was a baby, I have never recalled myself burping. I can’t whistle. I wear Christmas socks all year long. I keep a personal journal, and I write very very neatly so that it is legible if someone happens … Continue reading →

Emmy wrote: I just get so tired of people my age whose parents still pay their way when they go on trips for family vacations, or their families still help pay for clothes, home furnishings, down payment on a house, etc. I think even if you do not have a high income, if you are in your mid-20s and out of college, your parents should not pay for things for you anymore. I love taking my parents out for dinner, they’ve supported me for so long and I like treating them or at least splitting the check. And I would … Continue reading →

I’m hoping this weekend isn’t going to be expensive because I’m already over budget for the month. :( BF and I are going over to the island for Chinese New Year, and it’s going to be pretty busy. Saturday my sister and I are going to get our hair cut ($40 after tip). I think after that I’m meeting up with some friends, but I’m not exactly sure.

Last night BF and I went to the Jeremy Fisher show (tickets were only $13 each, and I paid for them a while back). It was great. This was the 4th time I’ve seen him, and he just keeps on getting better. I’m surprised that BF enjoyed himself, because I didn’t think he’d be into quirky folksy music. Some local girl named Hannah Georges opened. She wasn’t bad – a mix between Michelle Branch and Feist – but she wasn’t good enough for me to shell over $5 to buy her CD. The venue was completely sold out (and CBC … Continue reading →

My iPod battery is slowly dying. I’ve had it for over 3 years now, and I use it almost every day so it’s not surprising. Apparently you can get the battery replaced for around $40-50 which isn’t bad. You can do it yourself for cheaper, but I’m not about to mess with the inside of the iPod because I have no idea what I’m doing. I really want to get the iPod Touch (since my hopes of getting the iPhone have been dashed), but it’s super flashy and I wouldn’t want it to get stolen when traveling. Plus I hate … Continue reading →
