I went with a girl from work to get her first tattoo today. I was there for moral support. I kept saying that I was only going in for her. That I wasn't getting anything myself. I didn't have the money to be doing something foolish like that.
I walked out without getting a tattoo. But can I still claim any form of self control if I walked out with a piercing instead? I hope so.

So I had my interview at the Ft.Wayne Kohl's on Sunday and it went really well. So well that she asked when I was available to start and put me down to tentatively get cycled in to the schedule that they're about to start making. Which means that my last day in Michigan is March 15th.
Life is going to be a little chaotic the next couple weeks. ( Plans as follows... )
I've got a little packing left to do at this point. Mostly clothes and odds and ends. But other then that, I'm fairly ready to leave. Depending if the new store has me on for Sunday or not, I'll either leave after work on Saturday or sometime on Sunday. We'll see how it goes.

So I should be packing. (This seems fairly familiar.) It's 3:30 tonight, a whole half hour earlier then yesterday. But I have to be up at 9. Not fun. I move the furniture tomorrow. The three hour drive down should be interesting.
Hopefully I get everything packed.
It's going to be a very long night...

I should be packing. I figure... since it's already 4 am... I should have had the living room done. The kitchen packed away. And probably had my room fairly far along. Instead... I've got about a quarter of that. I have managed to get my bookshelves empty. They'll be disassembled soon. But I still have entirely too much left. I'd love to go to sleep at this point. A full nights sleep would do me well. But... well...
I potentially have plans for tonight. But they require me to be done packing before I leave for grandma's. Which I was aiming to do by 1. That's... 9 hours away. Given that I actually wanted sleep tonight... I'm seeing a problem.
Maybe if I...
Fuck it. I'm going to bed.

Well, not really. More like leaving in a uhaul. But the sentiment remains.
I'm moving to Indiana next month. The furniture is being moved down this weekend. I'm sticking around long enough for my transfer to go through at work. Which currently puts the official move out date sometime in mid to late March.
I'm moving in with a friend of mine who just bought a house. I'm hugely excited and can't wait to get down there. I know a few people have expressed interest in hanging out before I leave. I'm working some crazy hours at work to try and finance this whole move, but if you want to hang out, just let me know.

Hell of a story to tell tonight. But it'll have to wait until after I dismantle my apartment. And oh how I look forward to it.

Happy Valentines Day all. The day has started well enough with drinks with a girl from work. Now for a bit of sleep. After sleep, a short shift of work and then a date. Sounds like a pretty good day to me.
<3 for all!

I'd forgotten how much fun it could be to go out with a friend from work and just drink and have a good time. And then come home and continue drinking. And having a god time.
Yay for a good night!

So this has to have been the most awesome weekend I've had in ages. Some of the guildies decided that it'd be a good weekend to have a lan party in Dayton. So I drove to Ann Arbor to pick up Tikor, and we drove to Dayton from there. And I've spent the weekend hanging out playing computer games, a couple random board type games, and eating.
And it's been wonderful. I've loved not having to deal with any craziness. No worrying about the apartment, or work, or roommates, or money or family. It's been... peaceful. And awesome.
Also... looking more and more likely that I'll be heading to Indiana when the lease runs up. So come the end of April... might be picking up and taking off.

Ugh.
So... in the last month or so, I've caught myself laying on the couch and having my eyes start itching and watering. At first I thought that maybe it was just something in my eyes, hair or something from the pillow.
Well in the last few days I've found myself with a constant runny nose, watery eyes, congestion-y mess of a body. It's part of the reason I stayed home from work on Saturday. I felt like absolute shit.
Woke up Sunday feeling pretty crappy still, but I needed the money and couldn't call in another day. Walked into work feeling like hell and thinking it was some bug or something. Within a couple hours though, I was back to normal. No stuffy nose, no watering eyes. Nothing. This is after a day straight of eye watering.
Came home yesterday feeling fine. Went to bed. Woke up this morning with that whole crappy feeling right back. Went to work and was fine in a couple hours. Walked back into my apartment and was back to dying within an hour.
I think... I'm allergic to my cats. I'm going to go to the store Wednesday and get some Benadryl and see if that helps me out any. Totally not getting rid of kitties or anything... this just means I need to work a bit more at keeping the apartment vacuumed and cleaned and stuff. And keep a nice supply of drugs in the medicine cabinet.

So I'm on my way up to National's to hang out with Hilary and co. so I could meet the new boyfriend. And I'm listening to the radio and they're giving out tickets to some haunted house in Pontiac to caller X. Just for the hell of it, I tried calling. Somehow managed to win them. Yay for now having 2 tickets to Erebus that I need to go pick up. Now I just need to find someone to go with...

Today was a vast improvement upon last week. (See locked entry if you have no idea what I'm talking about.) I stayed up entirely too late last night like always. Think I finally crashed around 4. Slept in a bit this morning. Managed to tell work no when they called at 10ish to see if I could come into work today. Slept until 1 when Hilary came over. She stayed over for a couple hours before heading to class.
Hung out with Geri tonight. Which was awesome. Her and I hadn't really talked since we lived together back in Flint. Mostly because both her and I made really bad roommates. She came over around 7. We made burgers and margaritas and sat around talking until a little before 11.
Then got a call on Skype from a friend I haven't gotten a chance to talk to in a couple months. It was nice to actually get a chance to talk. As awesome as the internet can be for letting people keep in touch, subtleties in voice are completely lost in text. And emoticons are only so good for expressing sarcasm and the like.
Today was just a really good day. Plus I'm picking up an extra two hours at work tomorrow. Which is nice.
Have a Cedar Point trip planned for Saturday. Might as well make use of that season pass before the season is up. It'll be good to get one last trip in there. Plus... Halloweekends = <3
Birthday in 2 weeks. Should be amazing. Arizona in 2 weeks + 1 day. Should be more amazing.
Have I mentioned that I'm in a better mood today?

I got my paperwork back from MCC yesterday. I'm in their system now, so I can start taking classes come January. Still have to take care of things like transfer credits and placement tests. But I have a little bit of time to deal with that.
I've been...debating a bit lately. I know that I need to go back to school. That's a given. But I'm also trying to move next summer. Hmmm... by the way, to anyone that didn't know... I'm looking to move out of state next summer. Michigan holds very little to actually keep me here now. I've got one family member that I actually see on more then a semiannual basis. The job market here sucks. The vast majority of friends I talk to either live in another state already or are leaving for grad school/getting jobs/etc. very soon. The few friends I do have in the area, well, I'm sorry but that isn't enough to keep me here.
I'm still working on where I'm moving to though. Indiana is a possibility because I have a surprisingly large-ish and growing pool of friends there. (Might have something to do with most of my online friends living there.) Seattle is also a possibility. I'd love to live there. And would probably do it in a heartbeat, if it wasn't for the insanely high cost of living and the fact that I've got no ties there until Lindsay moves back to the area. Plus, I like being able to visit friends without having to buy a plane ticket...
But aaaanyway. I'm looking to move. And my mind is kinda going "hmmmm..." If you're trying to move next summer, you'll only get one semester in at MCC before you move out of state and go somewhere else. And since you're planning on continuing to work full time, you're only looking at a couple of credits. Is it really worth trying to cram some classes into your schedule, while sacrificing potential hours at work, just to get a class or two out of the way. A class or two that I'd have to pick very carefully to make sure they'd even transfer.
Hmmm. Decisions. Because I know that I need to go back to school. And I've finally got some momentum going. But it almost seems silly to take a semester there when I'd just up and switch again. Of course, there's always the chance that I'll put off moving for the following summer. In which case it'd be more then worth it to start now. Since I could potentially have my associates in that time.
Gah. I hate over thinking things. I can solve that though... I'm going to work now. Talk about an antithesis.

So there's this person. We'll call them A. I've realized that somehow, A had gotten a special set of rules applied to them. With most of my friends, I'm pretty upfront. I don't put up with bullshit, with drama, or with being led around. I hate it when someone tries to ignore what's really wrong, or they pretend like if nobody acknowledges it, it'll get better.
Hello! We all see the damn elephant. Just deal with it!
And yet... when A does it, I don't say anything. I might make an offhanded comment, but I don't call them on it. And last night I realized that the reason that A gets special rules is because I'm afraid that if I bring up the elephant, they're going to clam up and I'm going to loose them. Or worse yet, I'm going to hear something that I'd rather ignore. Kinda hypocritical, don't you think?
Do you realize what a pain in the ass this is? I see the elephant! You see the elephant! And yet... here we are pretending that there no god damn elephant.
...
I'm going to work. Maybe the mindlessness of that will bring some time to think and figure out what I want to do.

I'm doing a miserable job of sleeping right now. Too much on my mind I think.
Could someone please remind me that what I want in life is going to be tough. That nothing will be coming easy so I should just accept that already.
School is great, but I'm going to have to work 2 jobs and take out more student loans if I want a chance at taking a few classes. Work is a bitch, but to pay the bills, sometimes you have to put up with the bullshit. Love is... well. Maybe love's just impossible. But the rest of it should be doable.
...
Life sure hasn't been making things easy lately. A month ago, a stuffed animal I'd had since I was a baby was destroyed thanks to a shaky bookcase and a hot light bulb. A couple days ago, a couple of figurines (some given to me from my great grandmother from Hungary) fell off a shelf and shattered on my dresser while I was at work.
...
I can't decide if I've made the right choices in my life lately. At the time, sure they seemed right. Or at least they seemed harmless enough. And yet now I look at them, and I wonder if I had really considered anything before I made the choices I did. And how much am I willing to give up to see those choices through, even if perhaps I should reconsider. Bah. I know I won't though. Because regardless of whether it was the right choice or not, I'm determined to see it through. I can't give up now, too much at stake. Dammit. Sometimes I'm so damn stubborn.
Will somebody please come save my from myself?
