@Pancake: You're one to talk (lol).
But yeah, a lot has been on my mind lately. I've been considering saving up for a car, since public transportation has become the most unreliable thing ever and walking at night for such a long distance is obviously dangerous. But then when I think of the amount of money that goes into all that, I get apprehensive. After all, I only get so many hours at work as-is. Sigh. I guess I'll just have to wait it out until spring comes around and I can ride my bike to work.
