Havent been sleeping too well lately. Horrible combination of allergies, pms/bleeding, porch being worked on, and stress. Is good times. Yesterday I slept a grand total of 10 hours.. which sounds great, until I mention the part where I woke up AT LEAST once per hour. I think there might have been 2 hours in which I fully slept, but that's it. It sucked.
So after that I went to work, where it was a pretty not fun night. Well, kinda fun? But still too much stuff for Blue world, and I didn't leave the area till after 5. Everything from D28-D40 (and all the aisles in C across from it) kept me busy seriously from 10pm until 5am. That's a lot of stuff considering how fast I work. Granted, repacks were really heavy and 3 full carts for ONE AISLE of bedding- not counting the carts of non-6/7 bedding, curtains, dish towels/tablecloths, and anything bath related that I gave up on sorting into carts and just push while I'm sorting now. I love blue but gah.
So anyways. Moving in 3 weeks. Excited and super stressed! Weird combination and its leading to some interesting mood swings.
I have a bunch of stuff already packed, and in my free time I'm working on more of it. Dismantled my favorite shelving unit (also the most useless one) so theres a little more space, and I think my art desk is next. Moved a bunch of the packed boxes to James' house cause it'll be easier to move from there, in part cause a basement is cooler than an attic so I wont overheat as badly, and also cause he lives a LOT closer.
Stressed about money too, cause my computer is dying. It's working for now, but its having issues and it just keeps slowly getting worse. If I get a new one by mid-august I can get a discount on it, which means better for me, but at the same time I have to wonder if maybe I wouldn't be better off just waiting and paying full price without getting the free ipod touch?
Realistically if I just waited a few months I would be fine. Once I get Windows installed on the second harddrive in the PC I can switch that out, and once I move I can just have that be my main computer until I can better afford a new mac.
Have to buy furniture soon, but most of the places I've been looking at are either out of my price range, or just... not quite right. The more I think about it the more I want a pull out sofa just because I like the idea of having a couch. My current thought is FUCK the bed part, and just get a normal couch. Still waiting for the back to college futon to be set at work so I can see if its twin or full, cause theres still that as a backup plan.
Hiccups!
Also I do not have to work tonight, so that's a relief. I told Dana I'd work for her if she needed, cause she hasn't been getting enough sleep, but she says she's feeling better so that's good.
Gotta get a dress tailored in the morning, then a party, then more packing probably, man I hope I dont go insane.
3 weeks till moving.
2 weeks to have a futon/something purchased and set up in the den
Less than 2 weeks to have all my stuff packed/thrown out/cleaned up.
Time to decide what's important. Or else how much junk I can fit at the new place/stash in the attic >.>
Btw I can legally purchase alcohol again. Had to retake the permit test, but I passed which is pretty good considering it was about 7 hours after I got out of work and I hadn't read the little book thingy in 5 years.
That's long enough. I'm stressed and I dont even know what I've been writing at this point. So very tired.

So for anyone on here who doesn't know, I got the apartment! Signed the lease and everything, and I move in August, sometime after Jenny's Wedding. Might wait until family is out of town. Either way, super excited.
It'll be weird living in Fayetteville, I will say that. Coworkers demand a housewarming party, so maybe sometime in August I'll throw something together. Preferably after I've unpacked the mountains of junk I own.

It's funny how everytime I go to update this, I get a "restore from saved draft" that, when clicked on, shows an entry that got started at least a month ago and never posted. Maybe this time I'll finish it?
Been searching for an apartment. Might have found one (provided we end up getting it.. here's hoping?) that's pretty much everything I could ever want in an apartment. It's small but still livable and big kitchen and a room for storage and only a few blocks away from work.. meaning not only could I walk there, but I could probably also get a second job without having to rely on James for transportation. Maybe.
Trying to save up to buy a new computer, hopefully before September. Hard to do when I'm spending most of my spare time either having serious allergy attacks or cleaning. So much cleaning. Trying to consolidate 3 rooms worth of stuff into 1 room at a time I'm normally sleeping while sneezing every minute and whatnot... not easy. But its getting somewhere. Which is a nice change.
Been on a diet lately. Not eating nearly as much as before, and trying to work out every once in a while. Seems to be working so far.
Went through a crapton of boxes I had upstairs and finally sorted out most of my random sketches, so they're all more or less in one place now, along with the sketchbooks I came across. Kinda nice to have it all right there where I can access it. Now if only I could bring myself to draw something.
I used to draw all the time. Even if it was crap, at least I was doing SOMETHING. Now I'm just too tired all the time.
Not much else has been going on. At least not stuff I want to write about.
Plenty of work related crap I'd love to bitch about, and also non-work crap, but cant really post that here.
Also decided to start saving a little bit up for a 360 and a nice tv. Might be nice to have something to DO with my free time, cause I'll have more of it once I move out.
Keeping my fingers crossed about the apartment. I'm going to be beyond bummed if I dont get it.

So work has been almost tolerable lately. Enough so that I not only picked up 2 saturdays in a row, but I'm also going in early on monday.
Granted, I get a week off after this one, yay for TAKING A YEAR to save up the vacation time to take a break.
( talk of work, warhammer, and books )
tl/dr= I rule at my job, X-mas is coming, Warhammer can suck a fat one, King Henry was a douche, decaf works, i'm rich but not really, and 3rd Rock From the Sun is the greatest show ever.
That is all.

Not too much has been up with me lately.. but I'll attempt to fill everyone in nonetheless.
( Zomg )
Also.. I burned myself! I was making some food and I went to see how hot it was. While the part I actually tried wasn't that hot, the piece that abandoned ship and landed on my chest was REALLY REALLY HOT. Enough to give me a minor 2nd degree burn. It's working on healing now.. but HOLY CRAP did that hurt.

Ok so I dont know exactly when my last update was, and the computer I'm on is a bit slow, so I dont know what I posted last. In case I didn't, I sorta moved in with Alex and Paul. Well I think I'm sorta moving back out.
I'm hiding out at James' for a bit until I sort through things.
I'll try to stay online and my cell phone is on if anyone needs me.
Also I picked up another shift and I'm exhausted from so much work so no, I dont really feel like hanging out unless it's for xmas shopping purposes... which I probably wont be able to get done in time, thanks to my need for hours.
The good news is that I talked to Spicer, and he says my time off request(s) will be approved, so I guess I can go to Texas. Maybe that'll help things a bit.

Sooooooo Halloween party last night. I went as Rogue, which was sorta ok I guess.
Had a screwdriver, then played beer pong (we lost, and I hate beer). Then just random party fun, I guess. Decided at some point to go downtown, kinda wish we hadn't changed clothes first, cause everyone was dressed up, but whatev. We went to this one bar where he worked, cut through out the back, then went to Daisy Dukes. It was loud and crowded and stuff. Got me an amaretto sour, which was cool. What was NOT cool were the whiskey shots that Cutty got for us. I realllllly shouldnt have had those. They taste bad, which is bad enough...
But I've thrown up twice so far.
And not just any kind of throwing up. I made the mistake of eating one of those microwavable bags of rice a roni before I went to bed. I was hungry, and needed something to eat...
Rice doesn't feel so great when it comes back up, and even less so when it comes out of your nose.
Anyways, havent updated in a while, and needed something to do while my body warmed back up. I didn't realize how cold it gets when you throw up.. bleh :(

Hanson-This Time Around |
] |
Wow.. so last night was special.
Worked for Mike D, cause I'm nice like that. Inventory was the previous night, and well.. softlines wasn't fixed yet.
I didn't notice until after the unload and whatnot, and after I sorted BIG.. idk, I went over to the girls tables and HOLY CRAP. Everything was turned around, folded wrong, in the wrong spot, it was just awful.
Soooooo I fixed it. The mossimo table, 2 cherokee tables, half of the Hanes table (didn't care so much bout the second part), and the Halloween table. All they had to do was turn the stuff back around before the store opened :(... but nope. Why do that when you can leave it messed up all day long and have customers make it worse because they cant even see what sizes they're looking at.. whee.
So basicaly what wouldve taken me about 5 minutes ended up taking me about an hour. Yeah, I know, I shouldve ignored it and not cared. But like.. that department is my baby, and I had to fix it.
Lunchtime was once again retardedly special. Kinda makes me sad to think that in another year its going to be different people working there. Maybe not, but that's how it always goes.
Soooo paid my sears bill. They'd better stop calling now.
I think I might pass out soon.
PS this room smells like dog pee. Bad Lola :(

OMG my phone got here earlier! yayyyyyy.
I never finished updating the entry where I was going to let everyone know it was broken, so mostly only people from work/AIM convos knew about it.
Whatever the case, I have a working phone again.
A phone that belonged to someone named Rob, who didn't erase all of his numbers that were saved to his phone. Oops.
Still would like to know how it is that the games I downloaded for free are still there, but those ringtones that I picked out with Jules (ah, the good old times with the ringtones at Ballys) are all gone, when technically those were paid for. who knows. I figure I'll pay a little extra this month to get some back, once I figure out a cheap place, or ones that were similar.
....I WANT MY MMMBOP.
also, credit cards suck, and the woman at Sears who was calling endlessly said paying around $94 would clear everything up, and I'd be fine. Just got the bill in the mail, yeah that was before they tacked on the latest bill and the late fee? So we're looking at $182 to be paid by the 19th. Guess I'd better pick up some more shifts >.<.
Also they lowered my credit limit, but its not like I'm using the card anymore. Just means late fees are going to come closer to bumping it over.
But hey, if I work more than I do now and caff and stay late (hah to the stay late, till I get other transportation, wont happen) I can have my cards paid off by xmas....
and still have money left. *gasp*
I'm off to sleep now, was going to go in early tonight but it's already after 3 and I havent slept yet. So much for that idea, huh.
going to the fair tomorrow instead of working, since it's probably the last day I can go. might pick up saturday/sunday if I'm not doing anything.
/yawn.

HOLY FREAKING CRAP.
No spoilers here, dont worry. Just came to say I finished the book, and man oh man it was awesome.
Still a little unhappy about the fact that parts had been spoiled for me already by the internet about a week ago, but as I took them to be false (at least until it started happening) it wasn't so bad. The ending was ruined tho. Ah well.
So.. I officially hate Barnes and Noble. They went about it the worst possible way. If you reserved a copy, you got to stand in a really long line and get a bracelet! yay! This bracelet had a number... and at midnight, they started calling people up, by number. By megaphone. Instead of the FREAKING OVERHEAD SYSTEM. After they call up the group with your number in it, you have to push through a hundred people to get anywhere near the line, and even then they had already called the next group up by the time we got close, so a few of them jumped ahead. 50 people checked out in the time it took us to get up there? The really annoying thing is that you didn't physically purchase the book ahead of time... which slowed it down so much. Last book we bought it ahead of time, they gave us this ticket thing, and at midnight we just lined up and exchanged ticket for book. soooooooo much faster. But eh, got the book, then went grocery shopping, then came home and have been reading the book nonstop.
Cept to IM Alex whenever something important happened. Theres a lot of IMs for him to wake up to, I guess. Cause man.
(btw? wegmans had a whole crapload of copies available at midnight, there was no line, plenty left, and a few dollars cheaper than B&N.... AFTER using my membership card. Wtf?)
I would just like to point out.. I was right... about 2 things at least. bwahahahahaha.

I think I'm boycotting Mugglenet. Seriously..
[Harry dies! JK Im so funny!]
[perfecto directo I'm 13, not 9 and I liked my post soooooo much that i posted it twice on the same page.. on purpose!]
(2 separate posts, but man.. wow)
As for the movie itself.. I was actually disappointed a bit. They left out so much that I was looking forward to, parts that I felt were important, and had I not read the books, I think I'd be even more confused by what I saw. On the bright side.. Tonks and Luna were awesome. And Ginny.. wow. holy awesome spells.
I wish they didn't change the way/reason certain things happened, it made it kinda bleh. Book is better by far.
...but still good, the movie.
I'm trying not to spoil stuff, tho I think only 2 of the people who read this are into Harry Potter.
So downside to my evening.. I still feel sick! yay me! I dont know if the heat is to blame or me still being overworked, but I havent been sleeping well lately or eating right, and it was all I could do not to hurl earlier. Good times.

Whee.. I dont update this enough.
Totally went to the Sterling Renaissance Festival yesterday.. and it ruled. I love going there. There arent too many shops, but enough to make me happy. I bought a little purse thingy, and a triquetra pewter necklace, and umm... ok yeah there was a cool fairy thing in the gift shop. James bought me 2 roses... a normal white one that had been spray painted blue and therefore made me want it (lame, but it ruled!) and one made out of metal, cause that one wont die.
Bought Jenny 2 gifts, I think I spent more on her than I did me. Oops. But the one was totally worth it. They have a glass blower there, and we stood around to watch him for a bit because he was making a dragon for someone, and then I spotted a little elephant on a clear ball. It was cute, but like.. I wasn't sure if we were supposed to just reach in and grab stuff, cause most of them had prices on the front. But before we could figure it out this chick walks up and picks it up, stares at it for a while, and goes to buy it. There was another elephant there that I kinda considered getting instead, but then the guy offered to make another. So we agree, and he goes to make it. It was so awesome to watch, you have no idea. So anyways James suggests that instead of the clear circle he does a spiral thingy in it, which bumped the price up more but was totally worth it. I'm thinking blue would've been a better color but I went with the guys judgement, since.. well, he makes them for a living. And oh man.. it was amazing. I'm going to try to get pics of it at some point because of all the things we saw/did there, that was definitely the best.
Well, watching his friends do the test of strength thing was pretty awesome as well. Especially the drunk one, who at one point said something along the lines of "If it was a breathalizer, I'd have hit the bell" ..special.
I totally tried stuff on this year. Theres this one leathermaker that I usually just look at and walk away, but I decided to actually look more this year.. and I found the most adorable skirt ever. The ladies there helped me put it on and OMG AWESOME. Well, sorta. I had to try on a different one at first, because the first one had been M/L, but we discovered that was actually the perfect size for it to sit on my hips. (Kinda looks dumb at the waist) But anyways, it was close to $500, and that was retarded, so I told them I'd think about it and took a business card. Theres no way I'm spending that much on a skirt. I could get a super awesome dress from another one for about that total (it really was super awesome). What I really wanted.. more than any other piece... was the chemise that was under a dress in another leather shop. Problem=leather shop. They didn't sell chemises there.. and I looked at the ones that did and didnt find anything close. So basically I'm going to try to remember the stuff on it and someday just make my own. Like.. It was freaking awesome.
So work has been going kinda ok. We lost more people in softlines, and we dont seem to be getting any to replace them. Kinda dumb on their parts, because BTS just started. Basically what that means is that I've been working even harder than I normally do, and as a result, I kinda got fatigue.. I could barely function, after normal hours of sleep, it was kinda sad. I think I'm doing better now though. I dont like being that tired all the time. Kinda gets in the way of things a bit.
Harry Potter comes out tuesday night! And guess who cant go see it then because of work! >.<
Im going to try my hardest to find someone to switch with me, and I guess someone to switch with Alex cause um.. I reallllllly need to see that opening day. I just finished re-reading Order of the Phoenix and it got me so excited for the movie..
Im at James' house right now, which sucks because I finished reading OotP here, and now I cant start on Half-Blood Prince, which needs to be re-read by the time the new book comes out. Luckily I already have THAT day off, cause that one especially I am not willing to pass up on. I expect spoilers will get out almost immediately, and I dont really want to know till I read it.
I hope Mugglenet's essay on Snape being good is actually true, and the RAB theory, they were both well researched and actually made sense.
...But I guess I have to wait to find out.
I wanna go back to the ren faire :(
That's all for now, attention span doesn't allow any more.

So the trip went pretty ok. I don't think our target sucks so bad anymore, now that I've seen how awful it can get. Seriously.
Kinda liked living in a hotel.
Even if James wrecked my bathroom.

Blue October- Calling You |
] |
So my bad mood seems to have cleared up... for now.
Looks like I get to do the Watertown thing, but they scheduled me for the weekend after James and Joe go up.. oh noes! I talked to Sean and hopefully they'll work out some way for me to go up with them.
Still not sure if the hotel will have internet, or if we're getting single rooms or sharing.. I'd assume singles, but idk. I think I'm the only girl going, at least the first weekend if I switch. Weird.
Totally slept 12 hours today... and I'm still tired. Weird? yah. I didn't even get to play WoW. I was going to maybe try to lvl, or at least farm for honor points.. but nope. Ah well, theres always tomorrow, I guess. Alex and Paul both work tonight, otherwise I'd have more reason to play.
I think they make the schedule like that on purpose. I get to see everyone maybe twice a week, and the other nights I'll have off and they wont, or the other way around.
Work kinda sucked last night for a big part of it, I was feeling like crap and I didn't get to talk to James much at all, and the one time he did talk to me he was kinda mad.. but yeah, pushing pets with him definetely helped a bunch. Even though he made me push plastics afterwards instead of toys.. gah! I like toys. But he promised that if I pushed that aisle with him, I could choose what color tux he wore to our wedding.
Told Alex that the hanging out needed to stop until I figured things out.
Had to tell James the same.
This sucks.

Took tonight off cause they cancelled the double.
My body is so sore right now. I decided to stretch for the first time in, well, forever, and let me tell you, it does NOT feel pretty the next day. I was going around work struggling just to move yesterday.. It was awful. Dee gave me some bayer, but it was near the end of the shift so by the time it hit me, we were already out. Ah well.
I've been playing Warcraft something crazy. I've had a lot of stuff going on in my personal life (most of which will not be posted here, sorry) and I guess the added stress and frustration helped, cause I'm lvl 48 now. Would've been higher.. but I discovered the joys of battlegrounds. I found some awesome gear I can buy at lvl 60, sooo I need to farm for honor pts and whatnot. Or something? idk.
I felt almost inspired to start making clothes, then it was gone. But at least I'm drawing again, it's a start.
I really don't have anything else to say. At least I'm updating though, it's kinda been a while.

Cake- Love You Madly |

So tonight? Gonna suck a bit.
James, Paul, and Alex all have the night off, which means no goofing off in the aisles and whatnot.. and Phil is gone so that sucks as well. My dumbass self forgot to say goodbye.. *smacks self on head*. Ahh well, there's still facebook pokes.
James and Paul are totally gay for each other. I love working with those two. Seriously.
Even if I have slightly misguided reasons for working in the same area as James.
I can't be just friends with him, so it's weird trying to get along with him as if he's just a friend to me.. especially when I'll look up and he'll be making that face.. and he'll mouth out "I love you".
I'm going to have some trust issues with him for a while. He says he understands, and that he'll wait, but I find it hard to believe that he will. His idea of "waiting" last time was dating someone he didn't even like, and sleeping with her as well. Because that's what we do with people we aren't interested in. Yeah.
I hate not being able to talk about things with him without having to look over my shoulder to see if Alex is around. Alex and I have talked, so it's not like he's entirely clueless about things, but it's still weird.
Also.. things with Alex are better again. So I don't know what that means for me and James?
If he's willing to wait for things between me and Alex to play out, and not run off to another girl he doesn't want to be with, then I think things could work out in the long run. I don't think we can stop it.
But right now I don't trust that he'll wait, or that he means half of what he says to me. I can't even think about taking him back when I can't trust him... so I guess I'll just use this time to try and get that back?
I miss hanging out with him... :(
On a less emo note, getting Faere transferred. What does that mean, you ask? Furthermore, why are you so lame?
Faere was my first real character on warcraft. Got her to lvl 40 and just stopped. I played her on the server with Dylan, and well.. he stopped playing as well. Now I play again on a different server.. and I tried playing a druid again, got to lvl 29, but I'm just bored with it. I don't want to play, don't want to level, don't even want to run around collecting things for money. I've done all the quests already, I don't feel like doing them all over again.
So my semi late xmas gift to myself.. is I'm paying to get her transferred.
It'll actually work out nicely, cause by the time it gets finished and whatnot I wont be too far ahead of Alex and Paul. That means I can actually play with them again, not just stand around and talk.
Plus, the oomkin is just awesome.I never really played it until recently, and I discovered the joys of being able to take on 3 mobs at once (this was not by choice.. my bad).
I reallllly hope she gets approved by the time i get back from work.. cause I have a 3 day weekend...
It'll maybe make up for them making me work the day of and the day after the Burning Crusade comes out.. wahhhh!
I woke up too early and I'm not sure I'll be able to make it back to sleep.. here's hoping. I'm tempted to just call in.. but I don't know how many occurances I have from already doing so, and the last thing I need right now is to get fired.

[02 Jan 2007|05:49pm] |
Alex came to pick me up from work at around 6:45... I was exhausted, and planned on going straight home to crash. I wanted to hang out, but I didn't really think I could handle that, since I was so tired...
Anyways, we got to talking (till almost 11) and I'm not entirely sure what's happening.. but he does know all the stuff that's going on, and how I feel about it, and I finally know how he feels.
All this time I thought the decision to be made was which one I wanted to be with more.. but maybe that's not the answer?
I think what I need right now, more than anything, is to be alone for a while, maybe figure things out.
How long will that last? I have no idea. I don't think that I can keep that up anymore than they do.. but I need to try.
