Well today was fun. My roommate realized this morning that a woman that a friend had brought to the hose stole some of her jewelry, so I had to accompany her to the police station to make a report since i was the only one who actually saw the girl upstairs.
Earlier in the day I bought these aswsome earrings, I'll be posting some pictures tomorrow. For now I have some pictures that I took last night to celebrate my new piercings ^_^
I'm posting the reat of the photos to an album

Boy is htis turning into an interesting week. Yester there was a staff meeting at my job and due to cuts three of us were taken off the schedule but there were two full time and one part time position up for grabs. At first it seemed like I would be unable to apply for any of them due to conflicts and that I would have to apply to a different group home which I really don't want to do. I was very depressed about it, as soon as I came home from work the first thiing I did was bust out the Jack Daniels. This morning really turned things around though. My boyfriend suggested that I hold off on school one year so taht I am more financially prepared and he offered to help me save money as I am completely incapable of doing it myself. The more I thought about it the more it made sense because if I hold off on school I can save a lot of money becasue I will go straight into a graduate program. My manager is also really psyched because she said that I am one of her top two employees and that it would be a huge loss to the house if I left. The only thing that kinda sucks is that from June until August I work straight through the weekend, which blows because we usually go to Six flags every to every other weekend and spend the day there so I will have to figure that out. A good thing though is that thsi schedule change will allow me to meet with my therapist again as I haven't been able to do swo in months duew to scheduling conflicts.
The other great thing about today was that I finally decided to go and get my Monroe and Septum piercing done. I don;t know why but getting tattoos or piercing when I am feeling overwhelmed and depressed makes me feel so much better. I am so happy right now, it feels like all of my problems cmae togher and fixed them selves. I told my manager when she was begging me not to leave that I believe that everytrhiing happens for a reason and works itself out in the way that it needs to in order to lead us onthe path that we need to be on. I truly believe that that is the case here. especially since I have already made promises to my client that I would personally help him achieve some of his goals and this way I don't have to go back on my word.

, and on top of that I spent three hours yesterday chasing my client around the mall. He is very hyper and he was with a friend who just so happens to be like 6'6". I'm very grateful taht my client today likes movies, coloring, and handicrafts. Althoug, while I was at the mall I went into a tattoo and piercing parlor there (I know seems like an awkward place for it), and I found a great selection of cheap acrylic jewelry which Ive been having a hard time finding lately for some reason. I also found some beautiful natural stone weighted earings. I'm going back to buy them on Suday so I'll post a picture when I get them. The piercer also gave me a brochure for a company that makes really beautiful jewelry, many of which are titanium and he offered to order anything for me if I would like to get pierced there. I am going to do plenty of research first and see what people say about it. My client really wants to get a tattoo and that is where he has decided he wants to go so I'll be able to check it out. It seems like a nice enough place and after looking through their photo binders I think that it is an ok place for him to get a tattoo as it seems they have to skill level to properly execute what he wants. Of course he has to save up first and he has a really hard time with that (dont we all 
) so who knows if it will really happen or how long until it does.
I was also really excited that a different client of mine asked me to tkae her to my regular piercing shop so that she could get some piercing jewelry earings. She doesn't want to guage at all but she likes the look of the jewelry. I think that some individuals with intellectual disabilities dont get the opportunity to really show and grow in their own unique interests and styles so I am always very happy to help them do so. In fact, I am going to be working with one of my clients at a haunted attraction in October and I will also be volunteering as a n elf with him at Santa's Village because in order for him to do these things the staff must do it as well so as to not draw attention to the situation and in past years no one was willing to help him achieve these goals. Even though my job can be very draining it can also be extremely awarding ^_^

Augh!! I'm having a bit of a craptastic day. First I overslept and I ahd to rush around so that I would meet my aunt at the gym on time and due to said rushing I had a catastrophic toothbrush accident and now I have a huge blood blister on the bottom of my mouth right where the bottom ball of my tongue ring rests. It doesn't feel pretty when I try to eat. After that I got a call from my manager to inform me that I am being cited for a documentation error because I failed to fill out a form that I was unaware existed.Then, when I went to get the britta pitcher out of the fridge my roommate's gallon of milk came flying out of the fridge, landed on the floor and splashed everywhere including on my relatively new DC sneakers. Then I realized halfway down the road that I had forgotten to take my morning meds so I had to turn around. So needless to say I was late getting to the gym and had to grab breakfast on the way, which sucked beause I have almost no money and payday isn't till Friday.
Nothing else bad has happened so far. I had a great time at the gym, and I decided that the days that I don't go to the gym with my aunt I'm going to do a belly dancing workout dvd that I have; which is really fun and a great ab and leg workout.
Sadly, now I have to clean out my closet (its overflowing), bring what I don't want up to the attic, and then straighten up all my shit up there...which will not be fun because I have a lot of shit and its everywhere right now At least I got all the laundry done Saturday.

This video is so funny, anyone who owns a cat should enjoy it.
If the url doesn't come out right, its "Sad Cat Diary" on youtube.
I haven't been on in so long I feel like I need to start over Well, things have been super crazy in my life for a long time now (which was why I wasn't on) but things are much better now. I did what I needed to do to get my life back on track and now my relationship is great, things are going well at work, and I'm going back to school in the fall. My work will pay for it and I figure since my English degree is getting me nowhere, I'm going to do one year of undergrad in sociology and then apply to the masters of social work program. It's a little nerve wracking to think about going back to school, but I think it will open a lot of doors for me...plus with the tuition reimbursement checks I can not only pay off a lot of debt, I'm going to put 10% per semester toward getting the tattoos that I've been planing forever but just never seemed to have the money to get ^_^
On a sad note, I had to take out my nipple piercings. As time went on I realized that they were crooked as hell...that and it made them so sensitive it wasn't even pleasurable to have my nipples played with. I couldn't justify keeping them, however I may still get a vertical hood at some point. I figure I'll ease my boyfriend into it by getting a monroe and a vertical labret first (I can't wait! I think those two piercings are the sexiest facial piercings ever!! Although I am also partial to a cute little septum ring )

)Hoops didn't last long at all, not comfortable. The only problem I'm left with is now I am acutely aware of the fact that left is north of center and right is south of center, still not sure what I want to do about it if anything. Maybe tomorrow I'll take pics of my gun gear and post...who knows how long it will take me to get the actual gun, my car is bring very needy right now.
Well, I had the chance to get as much ink done as I could sit for for only $400 from a good artist and I got screwed out of it by a huge fight with my boyfriend. Then, I finally swapped my barbells for hoops in my nipple piercings and found out that the piercings are way more crooked than I originally thought. I did get to buy all the necessary accessories for when I get my gun I can't wait to get my bonus hopefully it will be enough for a .22 revolver.
I can't wait to get my bonus hopefully it will be enough for a .22 revolver.I passed my pistol permit class today, it was so much fun!! However, due to the cost of finishing the process is going to delay the mods I wanted to get this month. I'm super excited though, and I'm going to go gun shopping with my uncle soon so we can start visiting the range like once a week.
T my nipple piercing snagged for the first time yesterday...it sucked ass. It started bleeding, and the other nipple is inflamed and ouchy too. There have been a lot of salt water soaks lately. Going to price out the new piercings that I want tomorrow, hope they have titanium!
