I realized I forgot to mention something about the me going to the doctor earlier this week. The doctor has been worried about my blood pressure. She knows that I have a family history of high-blood pressure, but she wants to really cut down on salt in my food. She mentioned that TV dinners have a lot of salt. I went to the grocery store today, and I realized how true that was. I was taking them for my lunches at work, but now I'm going to go for healthier food. I bought some fruit, sub sandwiches, and a salad to take this week. I know it's not going to improve over night, but I'm too young to have issues with high-blood pressure. I think the major factor is my family has a history of high-blood pressure so that's probably why I have it.
I'll be going with my parents to look at getting a new car next week. The car that I actually want to check out is a 2016 Hyundai Sonata. Now my previous car was a Hyundai, but this one has all the bells and whistles that I want and everything I've been looking for in a new car. Plus it will be something that I can afford to pay on every month which is good. I've already been looking at a few cars online, and I will keep my options opened. I checked my credit score the yesterday, and now I feel pretty confident when going in and negotiating a price for a car. The reason I like the Sonata is because the rental car that the car rental place rented out to me ended up being a Hyundai Sonata. I think I fell in love with the car immediately. I drives so smoothly, and it has great breaks along with automatic locks which my previous car didn't have. Needless to say I think I have my heart set on that car...lol.
It's been insanely hot here lately. I'm not really a fan of summer, and I could do without the excessive heat. I've been trying to stay cool, and drink a lot of water. I've also been wearing lighter colors every now and then to balance out the heat. I bought
this top recently from
Killstar that should balance out the heat. It's sheer, and really airy and comfortable. I'm not fond of everything Killstar sells since they tend to have stuff that I find rather excessive [
1,
2], but some of their more simple designs are nice. I'm not really into wearing any occult symbols because I think it's sort of try-hard, and cliche. I've been seeing younger goths doing that nowadays, and it's not my cup of tea. I think that If you wear those symbols you should at least know what it means, or be aware of what it represents to others. Plus there are way
too many resources to look these things up. The goth subculture has nothing to do with any particular religious beliefs. Everyone assumes that goths are satanist, and what not but that's because of all the stereotypes you see about them on TV. Most of them aren't based on any sort of truth, and are sensationalized like crazy.
Last night I watched the movie
"Jacob's Ladder", since I heard they're remaking it. Hollywood remakes everything these days, but yeah. Anyway, it was a really good movie. It made me really depressed because of how it ended, but it was really good. It was also really scary, and it takes a lot to scare me. Here's the trailer.
