I'M BORED...with my hair, that is. I really think I need something different, and soon at that. The problem is that I don't want to cut it- I really love it long and slave over it to keep it long and in good condition. I think I may do a few blonde streaks, complimented by deep burgundy streaks. Not as drastic as my hair in my profile pic, but almost as much, and still hot. I don't know- my hair has grown out so long naturally that it's almost a shame I'd be re-chemicalizing it...but I'm so bloody bored with the plain-ness of it! All of you hair people out there, HELP! 
I had a wonderfully delightful conversation with the man himself last night: squidbizkit. Very informative and genuinely charming, he is. Ladies, if you haven't talked to him, you are definitely missing out. Oh, and a key to winning him over- ray guns.
The annoyance that is my store manager has reached now epic proportions in driving me insane at work. I cannot wait until the day I'm leaving that place and can walk up to her and tell her to her face what a miserable little shrew of a woman she is. Today, she found empty hangers in one of the fitting rooms, assumed the items belonging to the hangers were stolen, and promptly accused me and a co-worker of not doing our jobs properly. First, empty hangers generally do not equal theft. Many people try things on, leave the hangers, and pay for the items. Secondly, we have to jump through about 10 million hoops and practically pass a polygraph test to make fitting room stops, so we're leary on them to begin with. Thirdly, not a single sketchy person was near the department the entire day. I know this does not sound like something to fly off the handle about on my part, but it's this sort of stuff EVERY SINGLE DAY. At close, there was a customer still in the store buying paint. I am supposed to come to the employee exit and inspect purses/packages, not continue to watch cameras. She yelled at me that I didn't tell her there was a customer still in the store, and that I had let them lock all the doors with him still in. It's not my job to inform her when the store is empty...it's HER job to inform ME when the store is empty.
A few weeks ago, she forgot to lock a store door. She blamed it on me. (Incidentally, LP does not and has never been allowed to lock doors at close.) She's locked people in the store, and blamed me for not telling her they were in there. (Again, I don't look at the cameras at close unless we're watching an employee suspect.) She even told my boss that she thought I was a poor employee and should be fired (and I have had the most apprehensions of anyone in my department now for 3 months straight). She's just so...ugh...
I don't even have words!
So anyway...enough of that...Hot Topic has Pirates of the Caribbean toys and I want them. They also have a Family guy boxed set of Peter and the Chicken. I want those, too. Too bad it's 5 months until Christmas. Between those toys and my wishlist thing, my family should have no problem this year with my greedy butt.
My mommy bought JP and I a housewarming gift for our new place: 2 sets of new sheets and a matching comforter, and a fleec-y blanket.
We REALLY needed the sheets. Badly.
His mommy is going to get us a rice cooker. I'm incredibly excited about that. We weren't expecting to get it from her, because they're a little pricey, but, there's a story behind it.
She's Buddhist, and very VERY superstitious. She looked at the calendar to see if the day we'd chosen to move was a good one and found it to be very unlucky for moving (either homes or careers). Yay. However, she asked if I would take a bag of rice, some salt, and a bamboo plant to the apartment on a lucky day, in order to start the move on a lucky day and to ward off bad spirits. I agreed, and upon consulting the calendar, she found the day before to be suitable. So, she's getting us a 25lb. bag of really tasty Vietnamese rice, which means I will be cooking rice like a crazy person for a while. As you can see, this makes a rice cooker necessity. So she's getting it for us.
Oh, and everyone should listen to Tegan and Sara. They like, rock my socks and stuff.

And yes... she is much prettier than I could possibly get used to.
