I went to open a savings account yesterday at washington mutual and i did not walk out of there a happy person. i did not have enough i.d. to open a savings account (apparently my driver's license, my social security card, and my birth certificate were not enough), so i was pressured into seeing if i could get pre-approved for a visa card...that way when i got my credit card, i could go back in there and open a savings account. how convenient. the lady said there was nothing else i could do, so i told her to go ahead and see if i was pre-approved - so i am now the owner of a washington mutual visa card with a $500 limit. *sigh* i do not want a credit card, but i went with it for 3 reasons: 1) i figured if i tried to go to any other bank, i'd get the same spiel, 2) it would help to build my credit if i use it properly, and 3) i would have a "secondary i.d." if i ever needed it again. now i will wait for my card to come, then i shall go back and open a savings account.

tonight i turned in an application to john t's(a little gift shop place). maybe i'll have a chance with this place. i also went to wal-mart tonight where i ran into a person i knew from my tv/film production class. this guy got a job where merc and wiz used to work and where i interned at one point. i believe he was hired as an editor or asst. editor, well now he says he is head of production. he said he lines up talent and everything andhe said they just got back from oregon shooting and next week they are going to new orleans to film something. apparently the company is slowly moving out of the "self-defense" business, and now they film such things as bmx racing, moto-cross, and fly fishing. needless to say i am still a little bitter over this, but i imagine i never got a chance or anything cause i didn't show enough initiative and i didn't "come out of the hole that i was hiding in" as one girl told me when i interned there. hmm..maybe one day i'll be doing bigger and better things. one never knows...
