Fun Outings, More Shitty Experiences And Feeling Hopeful

[chelseajmunoz]

Shortly after I'd written my last blog entry on Friday I texted the friend who I'd asked to help me post my female roommate wanted ad online. In the text messages that he and I'd exchanged with one another I just wanted to make sure that he knew that I wanted to live with only females. A little while after I'd exchanged a few text messages with said friend, a different friend and I wanted to go out to eat somewhere. I wanted to eat sushi so my friend called a sushi restaurant to ask said restaurant what their availability would be like. However no one answered the phone at that particular restaurant. So my friend and I just decided to take Uber to that particular restaurant. Upon arriving at said restaurant my friend and I discovered that the restaurant was packed which meant that there would be over a 30 minute wait for the two of us to even get a table. At first my friend didn't want to wait that long but I said that we should stay there since we'd taken the transportation to get there. That's just what we did. Before I go any further though I want to explain that two blind people going somewhere together is different than two sighted people going somewhere together (mainly because the two blind people will likely use public transportation to get to their destination). So since my blind friend and I'd already spent money on transportation to get to the restaurant we wanted to go to, it was a sensible thing for us to stay there. Even though my friend and I were both starving it likely would've cost us more money in the long run just to find another restaurant to eat at and go to said restaurant. Whereas if two sighted people were with one another at a restaurant that had a long wait time the two sighted people could've easily driven in their car to another restaurant. Now if two blind people were going to a restaurant together and said restaurant was within walking distance of wherever the blind people currently were, that would've been an entirely different third possibility. If that were the situation the two blind people could've just walked to the restaurant they wanted to go to and looked for other restaurants that were nearby on either of their phones if they didn't want to wait for over 30 minutes at one restaurant just to get seated. Anyway back to the story: fortunately the server that my friend and I'd had at the restaurant we went to was helpful. In saying that the server was helpful to my friend and i what I mean is that when my friend and I ordered different sushi rolls our server was great at explaining to us where each sushi roll was located. Yesterday afternoon I texted the friend that I'd asked to help me post my female roommate wanted ad online to ask him if he'd put said ad online for me ASAP. He texted me a few minutes later saying that he'd take care of it. A few minutes after I'd received that particular text message from him, he and I exchanged several additional text messages with one another. I mainly had to answer different questions about my preferred rental rate, when I wanted to move into the place I'm going to stay at and how long I wanted to stay at the place I move into. Once I'd answered all of the necessary questions to put my female roommate wanted ad onto Roomster the next hurtle my sighted friend and I had to face was the fact that Facebook (FB) was being a pain in the ass when my friend tried to sign into my FB account so that Roomster would recognize my FB profile. Fortunately though my friend was able to sign into my FB account and post my female roommate wanted ad to Roomster successfully. A little while after my female roommate wanted ad had successfully been posted to Roomster a friend and I made some barbecue chicken wings together. I marinated the wings in barbecue sauce and they turned out delicious! When I marinated the wings in barbecue sauce though I used my hands to marinate them so that I'd have a good idea that all of the wings had the appropriate amount of ingredients on them. And out of 10 barbecue sauce-marinated wings I ate most of them myself! Not only did I eat most of the barbecue sauce-marinated wings myself but I ate the wings quickly. That is not at all like me because usually I love to savor all of the food that I eat. However not once did I feel bad about a bird having been killed for me to eat its tasty self. Not once!! Then again I never feel bad for the animals that I eat...not when they're delicious anyway!! LOL. After my friend and I'd eaten the wings that we'd made, said friend helped me look for a place for me to stay. Said friend has an app on his phone that's called Airbnb that's mostly geared towards people who are traveling and need a place to stay for a month or so. The reason my friend searched on Airbnb was because I'm not having much luck finding a place that's workable for me. There was a lady on the Airbnb app that my friend got in contact with. Said friend allowed me to use his phone to type the lady a message so I explained my situation to her: that I'm getting ready to start attending college and I'm looking for a place to stay while I'm in school. At first the lady seemed like she wanted to help me. However once I told her that I'd like to stay at her place until February when I'd transfer to a local university she sent back a rude-sounding message. In the rude-sounding message that she'd sent through the Airbnb app she said something like "You should really try looking for an apartment if you need something for that long." Hello lady, don't you think that I'm resorting to using Airbnb for a reason? What a dumbass. There was another lady that my friend had found through the Airbnb app but I never received a response from her after I'd sent her a message through said app. My friend also looked online at different ads that people had posted. There was one lady who'd posted an ad on Craigslist that my friend texted with for a bit. Throughout the text messages that he exchanged with that particular lady he let the lady know that I'd call her the next day. Shortly after my friend and I'd finished texting back and forth with that particular lady I used my friend's Apple TV to watch the latest Once Upon A Time episode. Although I haven't used my friend's Apple TV enough to really get the hang of how it works. Thankfully though my friend helped me set up his Apple TV so that I could watch the latest episode of Once Upon A Time. When I got up this morning I checked my email. It turned out that I'd received an email from CPS Energy in San Antonio saying that I owed that particular company money. This is like, the third time that this particular thing has happened and it really isn't cool. So I immediately tweeted CPS Energy in San Antonio to explain the situation and how frustrated I was that that particular company continues to charge me when the last day I lived in San Antonio was January 31st. I don't know what the fuck is that particular company's problem! A little while after I'd tweeted CPS Energy I called the lady whose place I wanted to see ASAP. She didn't answer her phone though so I texted her after I'd hung up the phone. In the text message I'd sent her I told her who I was as well as that I was interested in seeing her place whenever possible. Shortly after I'd texted her she called me. The two of us ended up talking with one another for 10 minutes or so. She and I seemed to have a connection over the fact that we both believe that people have more control over their circumstances, attitudes, reactions and actions than many people think. The two of us talked about how we've recently started getting toxic people out of our lives and doing what we can to make our lives better in every possible way. It's actually condos that this particular lady lives in and there are only females where she lives. There's also a washer and dryer where she lives which sounds great for me. She's also only five minutes away from the college I'm going to be attending. During my conversation with this lady she and I'd arranged to meet with one another later this evening. I didn't tell her that I'm disabled because I don't think that my disabilities have anything to do with how I'm going to pay her to live in her space. So hopefully hers and my connection with one another won't flop when she finds out that I have multiple disabilities. I'm honestly so fucking tired of having to prove my worth to people. Yet I'm realistic enough to know that having to prove myself to people regularly is just something I have to endure if I want to do big things in the world. And I do want to do big things in the world so I'll endure things that I think are total bullshit if it means that I'll be more successful in the long run.
