i have not posted for a month
i post to my "dogsintraining" community a lot though, hah
well, things are good i suppose--have not quite started the job hunt yet, but the scottsdale steve madden is looking for a sales manager and i was interviewed today. i feel like i had good answers to the questions and did well, but the store manager at scottsdale, who was conducting the interview, didn't really seem interested in me and i didn't really get good vibes. who knows though. i know i'm more than capable and qualified for a job like that, i just need to be looking in the right places.
christmas was nice. i am very persistent about constantly listening to the sufjan stevens christmas box set and only my mom and my sister can handle it.
michael and i went to his parents' for christmas eve dinner and then went to my parents to spend the night. every year on christmas eve, the elves leave everybody christmas pajamas that we have to wear to bed and on christmas morning/day. my mom set up the guest bedroom with mine and michaels' elf pajamas on the bed ready for us and it was very cute. i stayed up til three helping my mom wrap presents. uncle steve spent the night like he always does, and amy and todd came over in the morning. there were so many presents we had two trees in two different rooms with tons of presents under them.
I got michael a 120gb iPod, his favourite cologne, a case of red bull, a case of snickers, and a case of orbit (hooray sam's club for last minute gifts!) it was so priceless/funny when he opened up his ipod, he jumped up and fell over. :) he got me a pair of ray bans and a pair of siqq nike hi-top sbs. my puppy was an early christmas gift though.
my family is crazy about giving gifts... well, i guess just my mother and i. i'm pretty sure she spent well over a thousand dollars on me. i don't have that much money to buy gifts for six people, but i sure as hell will spend every cent in my bank account and overdraft it 138 dollars doing the best i can to find perfect gifts for siblings, parents, bf, grandmas, and uncle.
out of my favorite presents, i got.....
a nintendo wii (w/ an extra controller+nunchuck, charging dock, and game)
a sweeet digital camera
a curling iron
lucky brand clothes, rings, and necklaces
and lots of other things too that i'm not gonna finish listing right now because its two and ryan should be getting home soon and i'm in his room on his comptuter and he'll probably wanna go to bed because he'll be drunk because he left the house with a 21+ id that is not his and he is with fernando (i just really wanted to type a run on sentence, okay?)
but christmas was cool and michael and i got tons of sweet things and so did everybody else
oh oh oh oh.... my sister and my brother BOTH got puppies too! haha. i always think of the song, "too many puppies" by primus....
new years was pretty funny
ryan got off work late, and when partying it up hardcore, we must travel together
we were thinking about going to a party in that neighborhood right behind zia, but parking within a mile was impossible due to the block party. so h knew of another party to go to on southern and college which we decided to try for because if we got too schwasted we might be able to walk or find a cab. so we went there but the dude who ryan knew didn't pick up, so we ran into some other party for the countdown and was kicked out shortly after. a few days later we found out that that was the party we were supposed to be at though.... so anyways, the group of us, michael, ryan, graham, eric, and i traveled to this rachel girls house, i think that's her name, but that's where the dylan thomas and pals and DATH crew were hanging so we figured it'd be solid. which it was. good people there. i noticed michael getting really really drunk and crazy and me getting very dizzy, so i passed out on a couch for a while. we all made it home safe though and had a good time.
the next day kind of sucked though. i didn't have a hangover, but the whole day felt like a hangover. ryan stayed in bed until five and michael til six. i was stuck with entertaining eric and graham and caring for the sickest michael i've ever seen in my life. worst day of the year so far, haha
since the holidays have calmed down at the mall, i haven't had too many hours so i've just been caring for mookie, killing zombies, and cleaning. which has felt really nice. hopefully i'll get this job in scottsdale and be rollin in the big dough
things to save for:
trip to new jersey and nyc for family visit
trip to san fran for chris visit and to scope out apartments and jobs
summer music festival
moving out of arizona to a better place
michael is going to be promoted in a few months and making a lot of money, and hopefully i'll get a job as some kind of manager in the fod or retail industry soon... so i'm thinking this lease (ends in september) plus six more months, we'll be able to have our shit together enough to move. i have my heart set on san francisco right now, but i'm always open to new ideas.
