Jimmy Eat World has been my favorite band for about 9 years now. I love them. Their sound is always so refreshing to me, and the songs and lyrics are just amazing. Love it. They really need to come to the US and tour here soon... I'm getting really really anxious to see them live. Videos like this one just reinforce the desire:
But anyway... I was actually asking people to go to Germany with me to see them on the 20th. Obviously that isn't gonna happen, but the prospect was pretty exhilarating. lol Plus the drinking age there is what, 16? lol jk...
But yeah. Jimmy Eat World will always be my favorite band ever. They never do me wrong. :-)

Work Work Work
And more work.
I've been taking a lot of hours lately. Not really complaining much, because it's good money. But I don't care all that much about money... I just hear too much about it to not care. That's all I ever hear about, really. Scholarships, taxes, bills, whatever else. I hate money. Root of all evil is right. I hate what it does to people though. They go out of their way to make an extra buck, they're cheap when they're shopping, they cringe any time the gas prices go up, but I kind of let it slide off my shoulder. All with a grain of salt naturally, but I really don't want money to run my life. I want to run my life. That's not really all that feasible though now is it?
But anyway...
All I hear about is money. Just complaints most of the time. They only good thing I heard about money that I remember was pertaining to the check I received from an insurance company after someone crashed into me. And that was the ONLY instance I recall in the past few months or so. That said I started taking on my own bills and stuff. Gas, food, clothes, etc. I don't even ask (much) anymore. Sometimes they'll offer, and I'll refuse. But other times I can't resist, or I'm desperate.
I kinda get frustrated though any time my mom tells me to stop spending my money on "frivilous things." The only thing I ever buy myself anymore is CDs. I don't lavish in expensive clothing or other luxuries at all. It's Cds, and gas. That's ALL. Basically... Maybe when I go out to eat sometimes I'll use it... but not much other than that. So when she tells me to stop "wasting my money" I get a little ticked off. But it passes. I figure, "I'm making the money, I'm gonna spend it." Again, I don't go out wondering, "hm what should I spend my money on today??" I have a list of Cds I want, and I only buy like one or two when I go. And gas is pretty hefty these days. So yeah. I'm not a big spender. I save a LOT. That's how I have a lot right now. I'll hopefully be investing in a car sometime soon. My mom wants the Jimmy to last me to the end of college. Cha right. That's what I have to say to that. haha
Other than that I'm getting in as many hours as possible right now, and saving "almost" every penny I earn. I need a vacation...

Fall Semester
This upcoming semester should prove to be a good one. I'll only have classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so the rest of my weeks will be completely free!!! HA I wish. I'll be working all the other days. But I figure that'll work out pretty well. I'm excited to have Mondays Wednesdays and Fridays free.
Call me!
Call me!

I don't see enough of...
my friends.
This is getting old! I spend way too much time cooped up inside my own house, in my room, on my computer. Hence all the blog entries, and excessive time spent on myspace and downloading songs. :-P
I work too much too...well, not really. It's all right. Works getting better actually. We have a lot of incentives coming up - if we make sales for this week, which we are by like $5,000, then we all get $50.00 cash! which is awesome. Because I never have cash.
But that's beside the point. I'm going to have to start actually calling people. I'm generally not one to call my friends... which thinking about it now, I don't understand why I don't. Because I love it when other people call me, so why wouldn't they want me to ever call them? lol But yeah...I would always assume, "well if they're available, they'll call me." But what if they're all thinking the same thing?
I'll try to initiate more. I'm getting better at it. But I get so darn bored!!! It's nutty. I miss my friends. :-(
Call me. Or tell me to call you! haha

More Updates
Here are a few random updates in the way my life is going right now...because it's hard to keep up with me for anything.
*I'm bringing my grades up! Yay! Might get that 3.0 I needed to keep one of the scholarships I have - requires atleast a 3.0, and im at a 2.8 right now. That's the worst I've done in my entire life. Makes me feel awful. But it's not as big a deal to me as it should be I guess... Refer to "The World Revolves Around Money" for that topic.
*I started recording again, and it's going pretty well. Atleast for my level of understanding and being able to record. Especially with drums. Haha
*Easter Break starts on Thursday. Technically after my last class tomorrow though. So that's exciting.
*I'll be spending my entire break working. Except for Saturday and Sunday. I'm off those two days. Considering a beach trip, but I doubt I'll be able to. Too much prep stuff for Easter Sunday.
*Seeing all my relatives and family I hardly ever see on Sunday, and going to the Easter Musical on Sunday night.
*Concert coming up in May! Hot Rod Circuit! Woo!
*I can't remember whether or not my Statistics class is cancelled tomorrow or not... I guess I should find that out.
*Working on a really big research paper that my English grade depends on basically. I hope I do well on it. Parents are hounding me about my grades. They're just concerned, but it makes me paranoid, and nervous.
*My English professor is really really lame. Before we turned in our first assignment, she told us we'd be able to re-write it. After a conference with her the other day, she told me that I'd only be able to raise my C- (my grade on the paper) to a B+. Not bad, but it made me think there was no way possible that I could achieve an "A" status in her eyes. How gay is that? It's like she was setting me up for disappointment. So I thought that was pretty stupid. If I'm able to re-write it, there should be some point to where it's "A" quality. Am I right? Wouldn't that make her grading off? I don't know... I think the whole thing is just gay.
*I don't see enough of my friends. I should start calling people. :-P
*I often wonder how the world would change if one color was missing. What if green just wasn't there? What if it stopped being a color?
*I still don't want to ever be really really old.
*Nutter Butters are officially my favorite cookie.
*Still looking for options for a new job. Suggestions?
*Posted a new song on my website - www.myspace.com/abbyfisher
*The old cat is dying. We think. :-/
*I can't wait to move out. And graduate.
*I get frustrated when my voice doesn't sound the way I want it to. I don't have a forceful voice and it makes me angry sometimes... In the middle of a recording, I just got annoyed and threw the mic on the floor. It's a computer mic, don't worry. lol
*Still looking for a new car.
*Got my tax refund today. It was about $400.00. That was cool.
*I need to buy more CDs - the list has become a book, and it makes me anxious. haha
*I love text messages
*That's all for now.

New job? Possibly...
So I've recently been debating on whether or not I want to start looking for a new job. For the life of me I couldn't think of somewhere else to work. Well, I could... but none that I thought would really be worth my experience. Then it hit me.
Petsmart.
I love animals!
So we'll see. I thought that sounded like fun. Handling puppies and kittens all day? What wouldn't be fantastic about that job? lol
Anyway, like I said, we'll see. I need to find out a lot more about the job details and pay and everything. I had a friend who worked there about 2 years ago, and she said it was so fun and the pay was decent. I don't know yet though. My job right now seems so steady. I have good hours, and GREAT pay. I'm just wondering what else is out there.
I think I need to build up my resume a bit more than working over a year at an underwear store - even if I am a manager. :-P
We'll see.
