please explain - April 15/06

please explain how i can go out to dinner, get a $15 meal and end up paying $25? even with my rudimentary math skills that doesn't add up...

even with a freakin calculator that doesn't add up!

next time i go out i'm getting a separate bill. i'm not cheap and i'm not petty, but it takes me four hours to make 40 bucks and if i end up paying someone else's share that's just another hand in my pocket

summer break is the single worst thing that can happen to your bank account. in the past four weeks my bank account has been deprived of over $400.

$400!!! what could i have possible spent $400 on? various things...definitely not clothes.

buxton strife is sporting the latest in homeless fashion.

wearing pants from jr. high with stragetically located holes for breathablity; a free give away shirt; stolen socks and a grey woolen hat . she looks oh so chic in vagrant couture

even though easter is tomorrow i am going to give up spending money for lent.

commencing lent 2.0.

my penny pinching will continue until ...next easter.

ha! like that's gonna happn.
can't wander the drunken streets of quebec for five weeks without spending money. especially if i intend to join in the drunken revelry.

debauchery demands unrestrained monetary recklessness

don't get me wrong, i'm no sybarite. i was so good last night i should be awarded sainthood.

i'm just saying, if i wanted to join the rabble-rousing it would require an ungodly expenditure of money.

and so, in anticipation of a substantial decrease in the overall size of my bank account, lent 2.0, beginning the 18th day of the 4th month of the 2006th year of our Lord, shall last henceforth until the holy day of pentecost...or until i get an offer i can't refuse.

Lent 2.0. you are so funny with your short self.

frugality is not next to godliness, no matter what you've convinced yourself.

i have never seen so many big words used to describe "i've spent all my money on booze, fun and clothes." i like. in fact its hilarious to hear that my once extraordinarily cheap sister spent 400 dollars on...who knows what. defintely not clothes. no. never! now you can throw out those shirts youve had since....ha

fortunately korea is so cheap i can still be as miserly as i always was, without looking nearly as homeless.
