Hoo boy and hello! It's been about a week so I suppose I should update you all on my life.
My grandpa is out of the hospital, hopefully for good this time. He gave me quite a scare and I'm going to prod him with sticks if I have time next time I'm home. Unfortunately, this next month is going to be CRAZY as my trip to Idaho is slowly becoming a reality (unless my car craps out on me - it keeps giving me random blinking 'hey there's something wrong with your car' lights that go off within 30 seconds or less, so I dunno if it's just a wire screwed up THINKING there's something wrong with my engine, or if there's really something wrong. Not like I have any idea what the blinky symbols mean. I think they might have something to do with my anti-freeze but I checked that and it's adequately full..).
I may be an aunt next year. It's still really early and anything can happen (namely, I'm worried about a miscarriage) but man, I can't help but say that my sister (the 19 year old) makes some bad, bad choices. My youngest sister thinks maybe it'll help her settle down and 'realize that life isn't about her', as Trace parties more often than I do and with a far shadier crowd. I'm of the opinion that... it won't. But I guess only time will tell. The irony in this is that I was at my sex ed group's yearly orientation/back-to-school meeting all day before I had gotten the phone call. Go figure, huh.
Other than that, just worky workin workin and trying to cram in boyfriend time. He played a show on Sunday with a lot of bands with a lot of people I know, which was highly entertaining. I like going to a bar and knowing 75% of the people there. That way, my boy can wander off and talk to whoever he wants and I don't feel like I'm stuck all by myself. I just go bug people on my own too! I'm on my last week of work as well and the scheduling is kind of dumb. I worked 7 hours on Monday, 3 today, 1 tomorrow, 2 or so on Thursday, 4 on Friday, ORIGINALLY SCHEDULED FOR 12 ON SATURDAY. Seriously, he couldn't just spread it out just a touch more? Thankfully I have a friend who is going to take a couple of silly things on Saturday, which will give me a 3 hour break but 9 hours is still really tough to want to do on your second to last day of work. At least, unlike my other jobs, I know I'll be coming back so I'm not a complete bitch to people who deserve it like I want to be. But then again, at my job, I can be a bitch to people who deserve it whenever it's warranted, so that's cool.
In an amusing note, the schedule is out until the 4th (I'm done on the 2nd) and I checked to make sure I didn't get scheduled - lo and behold, I've got 7 or so hours on Monday. Yeah, not happening. I emailed the scheduler and told her that I'm going AWOL, take me off. Not my responsibility to fix as I gave them over a month's notice that I was leaving. Which reminds me, I need to get a change of address form or else my W2's will be going to my old apartment when I get back, and that's no good.
Um.. what else... that's pretty much it. Was on campus today for Japan-y things and ran into my greatest friend, which was fun since I haven't seen him since his birthday in July. My internet has been down off and on for the past few days and if it goes out tomorrow, I'm going to call and bitch cause that's unacceptable, especially when I'm paying $50 for a service that, no way in hell, costs even close to $50/month per person to run. I've been doing a lot of home cooking lately. Dunno what cooking bug bit me, because I've never been more than a 'mac and cheese when I'm feeling really brave' kind of cook, but I've been making real meals. Simple meals, but after a month's worth of sandwiches, a homemade cheeseburger and fake mashed tatoes are pretty much the greatest foods ever. Tonight I think is another cheeseburger (I'd prefer steak - a good steak, not the shitty $2-on-sale steaks my ex would buy - but I don't have any way to cook it, sadly) and corn and rolls and yum.
Tonight is Tuesday, which means Bisonwitches! I think tonight I may venture into wearing a pink and white top that I purchased in Mexico at the bugging of my friends ('You can't buy any more black tops, Court!' they told me. This is after showing up with 7 of my 8 shirts being black, and buying 2 more black shirts there. I wanted another one that was black with silver shiny skulls on it, but it was either that or my sexy lacy shirt I bought, or no drinking for my last week. I went with the one shirt and drinking.) It's very cute, except it rubs a little painfully underneath the armpit because of some semi-sequiny things, which is why I don't wear it much. However, I wore it every night that I got serious action in Mexico and I'm plannin on gettin a little lovin from the boy this evening, so we'll see how it goes.
Oh, and just one more thing: omg omg omg Leandra went live! And Flux has a new set! I will not lie and I'm gonna say it, Flux is quite possibly my favorite Suicide Girl of all time. She's hot AND a complete dork. I mean, come on!
