Around 3am last night, I started to hear the weirdest sound. It's hard to describe. It was kind of like someone was trying to tune a radio, but the radio was possessed by Satan. Quite bizarre. My mother wrangled me into wasting my entire day cleaning, and if that wasn't bad enough, I have to go to a community theatre children's production of "The Wizard of Oz." At the Endicott Performing Arts Center, which has, for no apparent reason, a giant image of the DVD cover for "Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ" on their homepage. We're going to dinner first, I'm going to try to get really, really drunk. I'm not sure it will help, but I figure it can't hurt. I think it made HPC's "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown" easier to sit through...
An unfortunate lack of choices

Last night, when I finally got to sleep, I dreamed about my teeth rotting out.
I've been looking for apartments and jobs in and near Poughkeepsie, filling out applications and adapting the same cover letter to twelve different jobs, e-mailing back and forth with Rich and Nick in an attempt to make plans... in short, I've been getting progressively discouraged and wondering if I'm ever going to get my life together.
I felt trapped in the apartment in Liberty, and that was bad. But I feel a little trapped here, too.
Back in Binghamton

Yesterday Tallulah and I escaped the evil clutches of Liberty, NY. Well, not completely. A lot of my stuff is still there. Here are some of the things that I didn't manage to bring with me: the remote control to my DVD player, all of my computer games except Oblivion (thank god for that), my blank DVDs and all of my CDs, my ethernet cable, and my coaxial cable. I'll probably make another run this weekend. Amanda's moved out more than half her stuff, I think, but she has almost all her furniture left. The plan is for Rich to help her move the rest. Hopefully it will work out so that we can go on the same day.
I need to call the landlord again. I need to cancel the Internet and phone. I need to fill out a change of address form, again. I need to make sure that at some point, the electricity gets canceled as well. And then we will really be free.

I'm not sure, but I think last night I dreamed about someone breaking a camera I had borrowed. I was really upset at this person, because they broke something expensive that wasn't even mine. I can't remember who it was.
I'm afraid of my neighbors. And sometimes I think I hear bats.

Amanda left yesterday for the city. She's left her job, at least for now. I've talked to our absentee slumlordlady about moving out early, surprisingly enough, she's fine with it. So it looks like I'll be moving back to Binghamton for a while. Hopefully when Amanda, Rich, and Nick are all ready, the four of us will get a place together. I can't afford to pay rent by myself here and besides, I hate Liberty. I think I'd rather save my money for the next security deposit I have to pay. I'll be in Liberty, mostly by myself, probably until the end of the month, but I don't think either of us is going to stay for April. The Catskills didn't really work out for either of us. At least I've got Tallulah Mae, and some stories to tell.
Also, I got kicked out of my useless therapy group. I got a call saying that it was "advised I not return to group." They're offering me individual therapy starting 3/13, but with a social worker ("therapist") I'm not fond of. I asked why, but I was told that we could discuss it at my appointment. In case I haven't mentioned it lately, I hate the Catskills. I hate Liberty. And I hate Sullivan County Department of Community Services Mental Health Clinic.

I've been sick lately. Amanda is mad at me for not going to see a doctor. I just didn't think a doctor would be able to tell me anything I don't know. Doctors never take me seriously. I never get the blood test or the sympathy, they just say, "Get-some-rest and stop-bothering-me."
Today I got a call from Family Dollar, turns out my ethics test and drug test "didn't go through." I'm not really sure what the hell that means, but I'm supposed to do both again. The ethics test, fine, whatever, but it cost me $40 in bus and cab fare to get to and from the drug testing center, and I have to waste another day waiting in bus stations. Hell of irritating!
We have a land line now. I don't expect us to use it that much, but it was really important to Amanda, and it's free for the first three months. After that, I'll probably cancel it. And hopefully we'll move in June.
One of our neighbors got murdered and one of them had their throat crushed with a sledgehammer. It's a little disconcerting, but I don't think Amanda and I are in any danger, since we are not drug dealers.
