WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?!

Oh...yeah...it's a livejournal. Dude. Haven't actually posted anything in months. Ya'll should get onto me about this sort of thing. So, for the few of you who don't follow me on twitter, friend me on facebook, or have me in your circle on Google+...here are a few updates:

Still working for Ally. Still don't like talking to cranky old people. I get far fewer angry callers now that I'm a checking specialist, though. Mostly I get calls that go like this

"I forgot my PIN."
"I'm sorry to here that. I'd be happy to order a PIN reminder for you."
"Uhh...can't you just tell me my PIN?"
"Unfortunately, no sir. For your own security, we do not have any access to your PIN information. As I said, I could order a PIN reminder for you but it will take 7-10 business days to arrive. I can also reset your PIN tries if you would like to continue to try with what you think the PIN is."
"Oh...kay. Go ahead and send me that reminder thingie..."

Annnnd welcome to 70% of my night. Day shift has stared doing Click to Chat now too. I've made it known that I REALLY wanna be first in line to train for that when we have it for late shifters. I don't care if I have to have more than one chat gong at a time. I won't have to fucking talk. It will be MAGICAL you guys.

Aside from work, there's not a whole lot to my social life. I spend at least one day a week with Mick, who still isn't my boyfriend, but oh well. I've found that I don't really care. I just like being able to spend time with him. Though now that he has a job again and actually gets to talk to other people. I feel like he'll be spending time with other girls pretty soon. It was nice while it lasted.

My car has died and been revived a few times in the past two months, but it is officially MY car. MINE I tell you. And that's all that matters :D Though I do need to get a kit and glue the rear-view mirror back on XD. Oh well...I was kind of looking for an excuse to run to Marshall tomorrow anyway. I might get stuff to make a rainbow cake for my birthday >_> Yeah, that's right. I might just make my own birthday cake lol. It's the only way to ensure that my mom doesn't force some sugar free/fat free monstrosity upon me. I mean, I understand that real cake may send her into a diabetic coma, but it's for my birthday damnit. Also I just wanna make a rainbow cake lol.

On the creative side...I haven't written a damn thing. I feel like I don't have time for it anymore. This may very well be why I only ever update twitter XD I really need to make time for it, but I always think of the five hundred other things that I should be doing. Like going through the piles of junk in my room and forcing myself to throw out the shit I don't need so I can have actual living space. Having space is kind of key for that as sitting on the couch and typing just doesn't seem to work. I end up playing games instead. Speaking of- Yoda shorted out our hub, so now I can't use my Wii or PS2 :( I wanna play Prince of Persia sooooooo baaaaaaaaaaad!

Oh, and if any of you have trouble with weak nails, my mom is selling nail oil in her etsy shop. It's a formula she made and works wonders :D Let me know if you want me to hook you up *wiggle*

Today I put in an application for a loan.

This loan is for buying a house.

Ok, so it's actually a dilapidated old shack that's been around for at least as long as my grandmother, but who the fuck cares? I MIGHT BE BUYING A HOUSE YA'LL!

I'm not doing anything for New Years this year. In fact, I'll likely be asleep when midnight rolls around. I find it to be kind of a crap holiday anyway- an excuse to party, really. Still, 2010 has been a box full of shit, so I'm looking forward to it being gone. The new year isn't starting off all that well with my smallest dog needing $200 worth of dental work, but I think that will go ok without me going completely in the hole.

I already posted a quick list of my resolutions on twitter, but I guess I'll re-post here since I haven't actually posted anything to LJ in forever and a day.

1. I will not diet, exactly, but I will work harder at being active. I will not sit on my ass ALL day at work anymore, even though it's totally okay for me to do so. On a slightly related note, I will drink more water.

2. I will spend more time with the performing art hobbies I took up. This includes poi swinging, hooping, and contact juggling. The hooping might take the longest as the hoop I have isn't quite big enough.

3. I WILL WORK. I've put in for a few jobs and if I haven't had any interviews by the end of January, I have to take on a second part time job in town somewhere. I need to be able to add to my savings account again and my other animals need vet visits.

That's all I got. I'm not being very ambitious, but I feel like these are things I can really do. I need to have someone get on to me about this stuffs.

A friend asked me what we were having for Thanksgiving because not everyone does the same thing. So I thought I'd post it here cuz I'm bored.

This year we aren't doing a whole lot because Nana's not home and stuff. Instead of wrestling with a frozen turkey for two days, only to have the giblet bag still frozen inside, we opted to pre-order fried turkey from Bojangles. They don't cook it there, it's shipped in, but whatever. It's the only way we'll ever get a fried turkey. We'll still get the turkey smell all through the house, though, because it has to be re-heated in the oven.

For the sides, we have half-and-half cornbread stuffing. I call it that because it consists of one pan of cornbread mixed with half a minced onion and a box of stove top stuffing. You mix all of that with a stick of softened butter and just enough milk to make the whole mix moist, then pop it in the oven. We're all about the short cuts in this piece. That's already been mixed and patted down into a pan and is getting friendly in the fridge until I put the turkey in the oven.

There is also going to be some mashed potatoes happening- and not instant! I know, it's amazing. We also bought a can of chicken gravy, and two cans of cranberry sauce (jellied- because it HAS to retain its can shape damnit).

For dessert, we bought a dark rum pecan pie from Walmart. I figured we couldn't go wrong with a pie that had Paula Deen's picture on it. I also got some whipping cream from the dollar store to top it. OMG that will be DELICIOUS!

And that's our Thanksgiving dinner.

So I'mma actually post here. Yay!

Home from work and I've been feeling like crap. What's the perfect solution to this? PRODUCTIVITY!

Here is The Plan:

*Eat lunch.

*Dust various places in the living room.

*Vaccum and pick up a bit.

*Deal with the trash and dishes situation in the kitchen.

*Do some mother fucking sit ups. I'm too fat for my WiiFit and that's just a damn shame.

*Work on some hats and things to put in my shop cuz only having one item sooooo doesn't get people to shop there.

To those of you who say I no longer get to have an opinion, I would just like to say...




I don't vote, though I am registered. I have no faith in the voting system seeing as dead people (and I'm talkin' gone for some decades) keep managing to vote in my county. I'm not willing to risk my vote until I see someone worth voting for. So if I DO complain about something in the government, fuck you, I can say whatever I want.

Last night, momma and I went to Walmart and we bought a charcoal grill to plop out on the front porch when the power goes out. Personally, I wanna use it, like, once a week. I LOVE grilled burgers and hot dogs. This one is pretty awesome too, for and $18 grill from Walmart. I had to put all of the pieces together, so of course there was dramaz because I can never assemble anything smoothly.

The first thing I did was pull all of the pieces out of the box, the first being a wrapped cardboard bit that I assumed was a grate* that I then layed on top of the wood pile so I wouldn't lose it. I spread teh rest of the stuff around me and talked to nana through the door a bit, then started going over the instructions and started counting off all of the pieces. Hmm. I was missing one. There should have been two grates, one for the charcoal, which was laying next to me, and a cooking grate* that I couldn't find. I went through the box and all of the papers a dozen times, but couldn't seem to find it anywhere.

So I called the 800 number and talked to the nice Austrailian lady about the fact my grill didn't come with a cooking grate and she took down my address to send us a new one. That's right. I called customer service LIKE AN ADULT.

About five minutes later, I found that cardboard bit I had put on top of the wood pile and have been trying not to cry about it ever since. I hate feeling stupid. Momma says that something will probably happen to the grate we have now and we will need the spare grate because everything happens for a reason.

So who wants to come over for burgers? :D

This morning I was dreaming about having a full time job and living in an adorble little brick house in Weaverville. It was a small two bedroom and reminded me a lot of the house my Aunt Gail had in Richmond. I spent pretty much all of my time there from the ages of 5 to 7. It was an awesome dream. You'd think it would be all about the freedom of living by myself, eating cake for breakfast, having orgies. You know, the usual.

But no.

This dream was about how totally awesome chores could be. Yeah. Mostly outdoor chores. I was in my little carport, washing my car! Mowing the lawn! Then it was Fall and I was raking the leaves!

And it was fabulous. Then, it was Halloween times. I was raking my leaves into those bags shaped like pumpkins and spiders and taking up fake spiderwebs all over my front door. There were tissue-ghosts in my windows and I was answer the door for trick-or-treaters while having a party.

I want that to happen SO BAD.

In an effort to expend some of the pent up excitement I have in waiting to hear from the prospective job, I've been planning and decorating the apartment I'll have XD While shoppingand adventuring with my mom yesterday I thought maybe my imagenary apartment could use a salt water fish tank. I started looking at fishies online and OMG! No way I could afford the fishies! So now I has a sad...

Edit: I made this post earlier using an app on my phone...it's teh suck. I couldn't add tags, change my icon, or set the mood and location. :(

Yah, I know, I'm five. I can't help it. I get really excited about presents- but the way I see it, that's way better than being depressed about getting older and still living at home, working in a gas station...

*stares off for a moment...*

OMG I have cupcakes!

And I have presents! Which I will now share with ya'll.

Here's a pic of EVERYTHING!



And here's some closeups!







Those are totally Lantern rings laying on that comic. I giggled lots.



My mom bought bento stuffs! Above you'll see my adorable owl bento, some sauce bottles, veggie cutters, egg shapers, and very pretty chopsticks with traditional Japanese ink paintings on it.
