Doing some blog maintenance and upgrading...if things aren't quite right, well, it's because things aren't quite right. Yet.
I'll be the first to admit I suck at paying bills. Bills are annoying and I'd rather not think about it. Obviously I don't. I arranged someone to take call for me this weekend, knowing I'm stressed out to the max and then some. I usually check my voicemail the first thing when I get home..and whaddya know. My phone has been turned off. Such sweet irony.
So this morning, I decided I'd get online to see how much I actually owe since I can't seem to find the bill in the mountain stack of mail on my table. Well my bill was $144 since according to their meticulous bookkeeping records I haven't paid since August. So I paid the damn thing...but not the reconnect charge. For some reason I feel one of the chains that bind have been cut.
I tried to check when the last time I paid the cable, lights and gas...but I seem to have forgotten my password. Obviously been awhile.
I really, really suck at this shit. I have to have 2 checking accounts...because I never balance them or write anything down. I never bounce..so that's a plus. I guess you have to actually pay bills to do that.
Have I mentioned before I need a houseboy? Apparently I lied, I need a caretaker.
Last night was "monster, ghost, rip and shred" movies on TV. I love scarey movies but the books are always better. At the top of my list for scarey movies and books The Exorcist still leads the pack.
There are scenes in that book that I will never forget...damn it. I was just reading on someone elses blog the scariest part of that movie for them...it still gave me goosebumps, all these years later. I burned that book when I was done with it, slept with the lights on for a year...still have to sleep with the lights on after it's brought to mind again. I was a teenager back then, and I really don't have an excuse now...except...I guess it still scares the shit out of me.
So I can honestly say no other novel has made that much of an impact on my life since. I never did grow out of being scared of the dark. Now I'll admit to having a night light in my kitchen, in my bathroom and in the living room. Now sometimes you just have to have THE lights on. Scarey things live in the dark....I just know it, I've always known it.
So maybe that's why people and bizarre situations never scare me...there are a lot worse things out there...in my mind of course, not that I've ever seen them but no sense taking the risk now. Heh.
