Halloween!!! and an unorganized life catch-up.
It's been years since I've done anything for Halloween, so I decided I have to do something this year. I don't think I'll trick-or-treat or anything, but I AM gonna dress up and hang out. I'm hoping to learn to do gorey make-up (keep in mind I've never done REGULAR make-up) and I'm gonna look for some clothes to shred up and bloodify. I'm excited...even if I do a shitty job it will be a blast.
Life has been great these days and I'm happy--some sort of crazy things have gone on, but the great things outweigh the bad ones. Nothing's bringing me down.
I've been trying to spend more time with family. In the past couple of weeks I've visited my grandma on dad's side and my aunt and uncle who live with her. The other day I went to her house, we sat and talked for a good four or five hours and it was so nice. Yesterday I took her to the movies--we saw Lakeview Terrace. My great-grandma turns 90 tomorrow (today now that it's well after midnight) and I'm going to go visit with her for a while. It's amazing, she is uber lively for her age. I can only hope to live that long and still be as energetic.
I have four kittens now, and one of them will come with me whenever I end up moving. I named her Nubs. She was born with a tail but when she was two days old it got chewed most of the way off so I took her to the vet to get what was left of it cut off and get the nub medicated. so now she's a bobtail kitten. She's super super affectionate and adorable. All the kittens are sweet, but I can't take on more than one so the rest of them are staying at home when the time comes.
My car has been temperamental lately, but I think it's fine for now. School's pretty good, I guess, getting the basic prereqs out of the way and figuring out what I really want to do. I would like to be able to move anywhere I want, anytime, without being tied down to some campus--even if I don't end up relocating I want the option--so I'm thinking about signing up for an online program sometime. Anyway, it's still up in the air.
I'm trying to find a steadier job. I've been cleaning houses but I don't get many hours. I'd like a job where I don't have to worry about appearances because I want to mess with my hair a bit... I want something that will get good hours. My options, I think, are manual labor jobs, and telemarketer/customer service call center type jobs. I'd prefer the labor jobs because I hate the idea of a phone job but I will take whatever I can get. I just want to be able to get by AND save extra money for whatever. I'd like to move out, go on trips, buy things I need and things I don't... I got to looking at my folder of tattoo plans tonight and I really want to start my sleeve, but that will be pricey. So I think I'm gonna try to save up to get my small, simple tattoo done--the Sagittarius symbol on my wrist. I have sensitive skin though, so I probably need to get test spots of all the colors if they even do anything like that. I hope I'm not allergic to any ink. If I am though, I guess that'll save me some cash.
On another note, I'm bidding on a dress on ebay. I don't have the money really...but it was pretty cheap and I couldn't pass it up. Hopefully I don't have to compete for it...and hopefully it fits me, haha. I can always make it work though, with the magical sewing machine! Speaking of stitches, I had a massive headache earlier and couldn't sleep (still can't), so I finally got around to cutting the legs off at the knee, from these comfy jeans I love that have grown super-raggedy over the years. I need to patch up the leg/crotch then I'm good to go, I'll have a new pair of shorts, sort of.
Some infomercial is on for starting a free website business, no computer literacy required--actually, general literacy is optional--sit on your fat ass and magically money will come flying out of it. That's nice, but all I can think is...these spokesladies' breasts are about to fall out of their shirts, and I can't imagine that the viewers are actually retaining any of the information...or do the large breastestes enhance listening skills? I ponder important things...Ugh, I ought to get some sleep.
