many meanings for that title...one: my boss' last day is tomorrow!! rejoice. two: have a very dear friend who is in fact a witch. and three:


teehee! just having fun pissing off shae. her new eyes should be in this week! i'm still shopping for shoes and a better wig. but she's fun even so! i'm definitely learning a lot about positioning and location when taking pictures with bjds.

today is one of the few days a year i'm happy i work in a grocery store-no crazy hours for me today! to all of my friends with awful shifts today, i send hugs! you'll make it, i know.

/edit
SHE'S IN TEXAS. i checked when i got off work(they've banned us from using the computers for personal things now) and she's in san antonio. i could very well have her home tomorrow!!!


my shae is in missouri!

(this post is going to exist purely for me to be annoying and update the newest location of the doll)

have you seen the latest lady gaga music video? i recommend it. i love her, despite myself. she knows just who she is and how everyone sees her...and she has fun with it by making a music video! if you look into the symbolism, it's warning about the ugly side of fame and beauty and all those things society seems to put on a pedestal. it's a catchy song too!

I MADE THE LAST PAYMENT ON MY DOLL!! i also bought her some eyes. she should be shipped next monday! eeeeeee!!! i would be handling this more calmly if i hadn't been lucky enough to witness eno's getting her two newest the other day. can't wait, can't wait! then i get to work on my next acquisition...will it be the pipos red queen(who i can only find through denverdoll right now) or dollzone violetta? hm hm hm...omg, why am i even thinking of that yet?! so silly.

in other news, stephen and i have added yet another somewhat costly hobby to the list: playing magic the gathering. >.> toooootally takes me back to fifth grade, when i used to steal my brother's cards to play at school. i'd forgotten how addicting it is!

love to everyone, wherever and however you are. may mother nature's arms cradle you.

AND RAAAAAAGE. so not only do i only have no money, and no hours for the foreseeable future at one job, i now have missed two days at the other! wednesday due to my battery, and today because either i'm just to fucking weak or because the door's too fucking screwed up and no one's fixed it yet!! so i'm stuck at home. making no money. wasting another family's food, since they won't cook it and it'll spoil by monday. JUST EFFING GREAT.

madame mim! oh sword in the stone, how awful you are........anyway! it's been a wild ride this week. i thought i'd have to go to san marcos, missing work, to register for classes. then i had to take orientation, and i wasn't sure it was still available online. it was, but i'd lost my student ID number. got it. then i realized even if i took the online class, i couldn't schedule an appointment to meet with an advisor and register until today at the earliest, in order to know when i even work next week. and then yesterday after i got gas my car refused to start. called my boss and informed her of the situation, then went down the list of people likely to be off work and nearby...45 minutes later vance came and jumped my car. drove it veeeery carefully to walmart. they checked and it's not the alternator. seems the battery hadn't been replaced since 2005, and was a size smaller than recommended. i only had $20 in my account, so had parents deposit. apparently that deposit didn't go through until this morning, cuz i went over. and they're charging me $35 in fees. so even though i got paid today i only have $50 in my account right now. joy. did i mention i'm only working like 16 hours next week? only reason i'm not this week is cuz my boss is having me come in early on sunday for a ridiculous event. on the plus side....i got my first doll wig! came in on tuesday. it's a gorgeous red-brown, and i'm hoping i can cut it to fit more my character's hairstyle, since i haven't been able to find one made like it. i was going to buy eyes this week, but...i'll be lucky to afford the final payment on the doll this month, it seems. poverty has made me lose weight though! as a celebration, i had mom pay me back for another pair of skinny jeans, this time green. i'm gonna go try and see if the knots in my shoulders will stop hurting now......good night!

sorry for wall of text. >.>

so things aren't spinning out of control as badly. probably because i'm avoiding talking to my mother. >. > stephen's applying more places, so that's kind of good. we're cutting his hair this weekend(i want to cry! but i know most places don't want to hire a guy with more than shoulder length hair). i bought my doll's wig! and next week i'm buying her eyes! now she just needs clothes and shoes. XD

in other news, HALLOWEEN. it's tomrrow. i'm excited, even though i have absolutely no plans and have to work. there will be pictures of my costume, for sure. i'm entering the costume contest at work(which i won't win, cuz no one will appreciate it) and at game over. i need to fit my fangs tonight...and i want to give out candy at work. wish i had the money!! but yeah. crazy me's gonna be a vampire for the first time! and a loli/victorian one at that! :D so giddygiddygiddy. i can even overlook the incredible bitchiness of my boss today because of the excitement! i'm loving helping people pick out makeup for their costumes.

okay, this isn't time to freak out. i just need to breathe...but i don't know what to do. my parents want me to commute to san marcos this semester, but with my schedule and stephen's i'm not sure it's possible. i can't do it on tuesday thursday, unless i can take two classes and get back to austin in time to take stephen to work at 1:30. monday wednesday friday....i work at my other job at 3, 5, and 4 on those days. plus stephen works on fridays. not to mention that i'll have to reduce my hours at heb to the point that it's almost pointless. oh and that my boss might not even LET me reduce my hours that much because she's a FUCKING BITCH. and registration's already started. i don't know if i have to take orientation or not, because i'm not going to call the school until i have an answer to the rest of this. gods i don't know what to do...

snapped some new ones of the kitten cat the other day...and i'm bored and avoiding some things i need to do...so another pic post!

 kekekeke...this is after karma's bath. the second one she's ever had....and the worst. long story short she got nasty, so she needed washing. i have quite a lot of scratches and puncture wounds now, but she's fluffier and smells nice.

  i really don't know why she sits all bundled up like that. it makes her look fat and grumpy. XD

  stephen's birthday cake! it was tasty. :D

  bonus freaky pic of me! XD i was trying to show my mom what a sty looks like(got one the other day. it sucked!!) this was the result before i realized flash was on.


in other news...i reeeeeeeeally want to draw but can't for the life of me find my sketchbook! it's making me itchy with drawing need. i also am trying to figure out how i'm going to go to school next semester(did i mention i got into texas state? i did!), work, study,  and make sure stephen gets to and from work, since we have one car. if we didn't have his crazy huge hospital bills to pay, we could so have bought a car by now! ugggggh i hate money. anywho, hope everyone's enjoying the weather!

man, i'm totally stuck! i make my last payment on my girl next month, and i still haven't gotten clothes, wigs, or eyes! i think i've figured out the wig(iplehouse has a pretty cute 8-9 incher for $23), but eyes and clothes i've gotten almost nowhere on. i'm not sure whether i need 16 or 18 mm eyes, and what's worse is the color i'm looking for(a specific shade of purple) doesn't generally come in both. i might just get the luts 16 mm royal purple acrylics, but...we'll see. as to clothes, i really haven't a clue! i can't seem to find tank tops anywhere, nor doc martens style boots. i'm not so worried about bottoms since shorts are easy to find. ugh! i can't wait for her to get here, but i don't want her to be naked when she does! the tragedies of a doll crazy girl. ;P 

oh, and soom has released a teaser for their newest tiny-she has wing arms and hands! that are jointed!

so i'm finally, FINALLY getting to all those pics i've been talking about! well, maybe not all...but lots! heeeeeeere goooees!
first, the cake i just finished assembling for stephen's birthday. isn't it lovely? :D

karma, giving me the evil eye while being a loafkitten. she's already grown since this pic!

isn't he fabulous? 


okay so between livejournal and picasa being bitches, this is all you're getting atm. i'm workin' on it, though!!

i found the perfect doll for my character, karina. forget domadoll and their crazy overpricedness, this little honey is the one for me! if i knew for sure we wouldn't have any surprise spending(and it wasn't stephen's birthday coming up), i'd be putting her on layaway. supposedly there's a basic version coming out, which would be awesome.

anyway, just had to share my gibbering love for this little one. :D

oh!! and when i get the chance(probably tomorrow), i'll be posting pics from adventures with eno and new kitten pics.

so many goings on! i bought my first pair of skinny jeans. they're red. i'm in love. i need them in every color now...

i have to go to victoria wednesday for a doctor's appointment, but since i have the whole day, i'm gonna spend it with mah momma! it's gonna be grand. :D

i've decided to explore the pagan religions on my little spiritual journey. might assimilate some of their beliefs into my own little thing i have going.

one of my few guy friends(well, barely-he's rather flaming) has ruined his friendship with stephen and me, which saddens me. he's a sweet kid, but has a problem with being manipulative and crazy sometimes.

excited about paying for my first doll, even though currently she's gonna be nekkers when i get her. XD need advice on good(and hopefully affordable) clothes for a 60cm girl!!

there's an awesome world of board games i didn't even know about until like 2 weeks ago....it's like tabletop gaming and board games had beautiful children! stephen and i have two now: cosmic encounters and a touch of evil. they make my evenings happy.

although i won't hear from texas state on whether i'm in for the spring or not until after november 15th, they sent my parents a transfer guide. i consider that promising, but maybe it's just standard? meh. i'm trying not to think too hard on it.

i think that about covers it, beyond the usual. ^^

how just one or two sentences can completely crush the spirit. i forgot my father's birthday. this wouldn't have been much of an issue(especially since i would've remembered before the night was over), except that apparently my father had a horrible day and neither my brother nor i remembered to call him. my mother called me to inform me of my mistake and inform me that i would call back in 15 min or less or else. thankfully dad was much more forgiving. we had a good chat. i'm a giant ball of guilt and sorrow at the moment, however, and have been crying off and on since around 7:45. happy day.

this week has been a doozy. well, the last several ones. i'd been having issues with my car getting too hot when i drive and idle a lot. dad looked at it when he and mom came up to help me move. couldn't see anything, but guessed it was the radiator. couldn't take in the car that week or the next. in the midst of this, i started paying for my doll and got a pair of bloomers made for me. realized i hadn't changed info on paypal. spent the next couple of days arguing with paypal and apologizing to the sellers for the hassle. finally took my car in two days ago, at around 10:30 am. they said hour-hour and a half before they could get to it. more like noon. finally called enterprise to have them get us to get a rental car, since we needed to get several things done and i was supposed to go to work. they only had one non-luxury car available. i had to pay a fee for being a young driver. oh and there was a $200 deposit, which they took out of my account. i didn't even have 150 in it at the time. panicked. called my dad. got the car, drove it home paranoid about messing up the car. checked my account and i was -62.99. pancked more. called work and said i needed a mental day. got very drunk. next morning checked account. the deposit seemed to have disappeared, and parents had put money in. we go to get the car and it's $763 because i had a cracked radiator and broken thermostat. $390 of that was labor. WTF. seriously? if ihad known, i would've just gotten one of my friends to do it! dad paid for it in full. both parents insist i shouldn't help pay in any way. turn in the car. should get a refund soon. checked my account. nothing. went to work. next day(today): check my account and the 200 is taken back out. no refund. not a happy bunny, me. too much up and down in these few days.....just want to curl up and sleep. tomorrow i help friends move and help my man find a second job. sorry this post is horrific and not fun to read.

    moving is the biggest pain in the ass ever. literally and figuratively. we moved on thursday and friday, and i'm STILL sore. doesn't hurt that we went from a second floor to another second floor.....i had my first night of decent sleep last night. i bought basic groceries today. before that, we were surviving off cereal and mcdonald's, pretty much. i could only take the day before, day of, and day after of our move out date so i worked mon tue, sat sun. and i only have one real day off this week. at least there's several social functions going on! helping a friend bake cupcakes tomorrow night, going to a dinner party(which i'm cooking for as well) on saturday, and possibly a doll meet sunday. and if eno's up to it and it's still running in theatres, there's time for a ponyo showing in there! lots of negative and positive going on right now in my world. but the new place is wonderful too.....clean and new and has its own washer and dryer that we didn't have to buy and don't have to feed quarters. nicer kitchen. better carpet. lots of new things my parents got us to help make the place really great. but apparently my car might have a radiator leak, so i'm supposed to take it in somewhere sometime. dunno when. maybe next week.....*yawn* i think it's bedtime. sleep tight, everyone......

 i'm so friggin tired...i need a real day off. and a weekend where i don't try to go out and either get lost or just stay up too late. anyway. so the big moving date is coming up and i'm feeling a little overwhelmed with all the stuff that's involved with that. not to mention all my friends spontaneously picked the last two weeks to be social, which have been the two worst weeks at work for me to try and have a social life. what's worse is i am so very tempted to just walk up to my boss, quit, and then throw parties to celebrate. which would be very stupid, as we're broke right now anyway. oh and both our shower and one of the sink drains are deciding they don't really want to drain anymore. we've tried calling/emailing the maintainence crew but no response or help so far.

in other news, i've gotten an offer on an sdf annette with a custom faceup(that doesn't work for my girl at all, but it's beautiful) for $500 with layaway. the lady's really sweet and just needs the money for dental work or something. i'm tempted to take her up on it, even though i feel bad for not keeping the faceup. opinions?

oh, and i got a haircut! apparently my hair was a good half inch longer on one side than the other. XD never gonna try cutting my hair on my own again. it's not a drastic change, but jeez it feels better!

why is it everything comes crashing down all at the same time? for once, i would love to know the answer. i'm sure religious peoples would say it's the superior being(s) up there testing us. i say that life's shitty like that and whoever's up there has one hell of a mean streak.

today has been some kind of rollercoaster. went to bed worried but happy after going to a friend's graduation party and hoping my baby kitty wasn't going to get worse overnight. had to get up at 6 to go to work, so was a bit grumpy....but the first few hours were pretty nice. nobody really at the store yet, work was going smoothly. my back started hurting, but it was still alright. then my boss came into work. *sigh* long story short-i basically walked off in the middle of her talking to me so i wouldn't just hit her. i leave pissed off and come home, yell and rant, cry, pout, and slowly i'm feeling better. i have stuff i need to do-like pack, work on stuff-but i just don't want to. instead, i'll enjoy the adorably sweet kitten sleeping on the bed with me.

to change the subject completely, have some pictures of eno's soony! eno's such a sweet lady and is letting me borrow the girl. so when i got home yesterday, i took very amateurish pics in bad lighting! :D




and a kitty pic!


hugs to everyone. hope your day has been better than mine!

well i'm working on my mint choco chip cookies for tomorrow, and i screwed them up. ah well. they taste good, at least, but they're wafer thin and a bit crispy. hopefully people won't be deterred by their appearance.

of course, it could very well be that i can't even go to the doll meet, so it might not matter. our little baby kitten got fixed today then decided to go apeshit when she got home...her stitches are very swollen and tender to the touch. she's asleep now, so hopefully she'll sleep through most of the night and the swelling will go down. if not, i'll get to meet her future vet even sooner. like tomorrow morning. or i'll have to take her back to the humane society, which won't be fun. my heart hurts, worrying about her...this has got to be what it's like to have a human baby.

it's going to be a bad night anyway, because stephen is going in to work at 6am tomorrow just in case the guy he was supposed to switch with doesn't show. argh...at least labyrinth gives me a nice, musical, escape. good night, everyone!
