This fucking apartment.

It is 1147pm on a Sunday evening. A week ago today, I had one day left of break before work. I no longer have that dread, which is somewhat freeing.

I've been laying on my bed, listening to water bubble and drip (loudly) in the walls. I didn't really know how shitty this apartment was until somewhat recently. Until last week, you could just use your shoulder to push the door open..when it was locked. (There was someone trying to get into the downstairs neighbor's house on Christmas eve. Needless to say, the cops were called three times and found absolutely no one.) If it's wet or cold for too long, we get this nice sewer gas smell that overtakes the entire house. You can't burn candles, because sewer gas is flammable. (I found out my neighbor burns candles to get rid of the smell. It makes me incredibly nervous.) We have a candle warmer, which isn't strong enough. We run water down the drains and it doesn't help. I usually just get frustrated, turn the heat off and open the door to the porch. (Well..cheap gas bill, I suppose.) The walls are painted an awful hospital room white in te kitchen. The living room walls are nice, except they chose to panel it like..1/4th of the way up and chose two different types for two different sides of the living room. Only two of the living room windows open and only one of them has a legitimate screen. (There are six windows in the living room.) It's just..I cannot.

Anyway, let's talk about cocaine.
It has come to my attention that many of my fellow Northwest Ohioans enjoy snorting cocaine. This is absolutely hilarious to me. Mostly because the trend all of these people followed was Beer>Weed>Cocaine. Like..there was no beating around the bush. These are former straight edge kids/decent kids/pretty much everyone but a select few people. That is seriously the drug of choice here. Let me give you some facts about the town I live in.

Population: 10,000
My graduating class:221
What my town is known for: The largest Campbell Soup company in the world.

AND NOW WE'RE DOING COCAINE?!
Okay, okay. I get it. We are roughly 30 minutes away from the STD capital of the United States, but can't we just keep them all there? I guess the best part about this is that people tweet about it and they update Facebook about it. I mean, come on. Really?

Society has taken a strong downward beating. It doesn't seem like it's turning around all too quickly, either.

Anyway, I started this post three hours ago, with all intentions to finish it three hours ago. I got sidetracked. I have a sinus infection and I have many things to do tomorrow.

Goodnight, world.
