Huh. I'm gettting pretty bad about updating this...sad, I recall a time when I was pretty dilligent. Oh well. I also recall a time when certain people actually invested time in reading and commenting to this journal, but that, sadly has passed. I suppose, that as a friend, I am somewhat passé. Oh, the sadness (note: the preceeding sentences were intended as purely ironic statements, rather then any intentions of bitterness).
So. How about something of substance as I am here, and I do have this computer that I have to sit in front of for another six hours or so. Well, no, I do have envelopes to stuff pretty soon, but that won't be for a while, nor for very long.
So, let's see. What can I tell you about...?
(My)Sean and I are doing pretty well right now, and I'm pretty happy about it. I sent him some little toy guns a couple days ago from thinkgeek, which he got today. Sent me a text asking why I sent him such a freaky thing. I pretended offense and was gratified when the end result of the conversation was that he was satisfied with his sexy, if somewhat bizzare girl. I love that man more then I think he realizes. Oh well. This long distance thing is not easy, but I think... I hate it, I'll be totally honest, but I don't know if we'd have such a strong relationship as we do now. We don't talk every day, or even text every day, but I know I can count on him to cheer me up, and make me laugh, and make me not take myself so damned seriously. He's good for me, and I appreciate that in a way I don't think I ever did when he was here and I could justify his existence as just some kind of sex toy (with a great taste in purses!). He's-gasp!- an actual person now, and someone that does a lot for me. Do I wish he was here, or that we were physically together? Hell yes! But I love that nothing has changed, despite the fact that he's three thousand miles away. I was thinking about it, and we're coming up on one year that we've been dating. That's a scary thought. But whatever, I already have his christmas presents picked out, and half of them bought, so we'll be together at least through then. :)
I'm currently listening to Usa, my beautiful pink iPod Nano that (My Other) Sean gave me for my birthday! Her name is Usa, short for Usagi (short for bunny in japanese, and a very long and old story), and I adore her! She makes work much more bearable as I do not have to listen to Delilah or John Tesh any more. Thank. God. And Sean, of course. It took a while to make her useable as I the compy at home has dial-up, and thus makes it very difficult to download anything, especially something like iTunes. I ended up having to have Sean come over with a copy of it to download. Worked much better. Still can't really use the store, as it takes ridiculously long and I am not that patient. So I've been loading cd's into Usa. I'm trying to be careful of what I load, since I mostly use her at work, but it's been pretty good so far. Of course, nearly all Dashboard is in there. I haven't loaded the Unplugged cd yet, as it doesn't make for good shuffling because of the intro/outros and stuff. Queen: Greatest Hits, BnL's Greatest Hits, All American Rejects, a couple Billy Joel cds, Frou Frou, some soundtracks...lots of stuff. I think I need to grab Dad's Kraftwerk next, but that doesn't really make for good shuffles either. Whatever. I've got time.
Baby needed a lot of work done. Thank god I got this second job, as I just dropped about 450 on her. Dad paid for part of it as he took the car in before I was able to, but I still have to pay him back. She's got two new tires, her front end alignment redone, and some stuff done under the hood, so, really, it was sa teal. Plus, they know Dad and they gave me a discount on parts. I love my daddy having been a mechanic. It makes car upkeep so much easier. I still have yet to get the stuff to install the cd player (My)Sean gave me, but that can wait for a bit. Couple months ago at AFO, I got a baby cthulu to keep Jack company in the back weapon. I may move my terrorist sheep in wolf's clothing (complete with little plush uzi!) and Death back there, but I'm worried she may be victimized if she looks so hot. :) OH AND SOME ASSHOLE stole my Jack deedly bopper. So. Pissed. Also, Baby needs new bumpers. Oh well. Nothing new.
Work in both places is crazy. W/S is getting ready for Christmas, and is thus scheduling me crazy amounts of hours. I'm going to have to go in and be like..."look, I have to change my hours, okay?" I'm really pissed because they're scheduled me consecutive days two weeks in a row now, and I've told them several times that I CANNOT DO THEM. Andrea get no sleep, Andrea grrr, Andrea eat babies. Not nice, not really. Disney just announced that they're outsourcing Valet, and everyone here know they'll be moving onto Bell Services, it's just a matter of time. Actually, they're doing it over at the value resorts already, so...::shrug:: We'll see how it goes. I have a feeling that I'm going to end up as a button pusher over at Space pretty soon. I'm gonna be back in the parks before too long, I think. But yeah, no one is happy with this, and there is a lot of... yeah, Iger is not popular right now. I love what this company represents, but I'm starting to hate this company. And that's really sad. :( They're talking about after the holiday season, they're gonna make full-time as 32 hours max. Hopefully it won't affect me as I'll still be on graveyard. But I have a feeling that they're gonna make my hours 12-8.30, that way they can keep scheduling me four days a week. We'll see. Too much of that for my taste though. I hate this so much.
Something pleasent. Most of you know how much I love Dashboard Confessional, and the fact that I won tickets to see them was already posted. What some of you don't know was that baby had all her work done on the day of the concert, and that her front right tire was TOTALLY flat the morning of, when I was supposed to meet Nick and Marcus to get them into Epcot. Nick was my Prince Charming, and came to my rescue, and loaned me Kiki, who I've started to refer to as Baby's cousin (Ford Taurus, Mercury Sable...you get it...?). Of course, it took me foreve to figure out how to move the seat, and thus I drove all the way from Disney with just my toes on the pedels. Ooops, heh. Nickie saved my day, bless him. I got to kiss Chris Carrabba on the cheek, and this thrilled me to no end. I already got a frame for all my stuff from the concert, and I've already made a pretty collage out of everything. Now, to just find my room, and hang everything.... We started putting up all the inside Christmas stuff! Yay! I'll try and get pics sometime, if you want. For those of you who've never seen my house at Christmas, it is truly impressive.
Tueday I hung out with Sean and Damian at AKA Lounge, which I've heard about on the radio and always thought would be a cool place. Pretty damned cool, actually, and good drinks to boot. We're probably going again next Tuesday, but I won't be able to stay out too late, as I have to go to W/S at noon on wendsday. Ugh. Last time I got home at 5am. Oops. :) I'd not known that Damian played pool, so...that's cool. It'd be nice to get back into playing, and Damian is a pretty good teacher. I was shittier then ever when I started last tuesday, but I got a bit better when he started helping, so...cool. Maybe we'll hang out more...I dunno, we'll see (and yes, you did read that right, I hung out with Damian, there was no bloodshed, and I actually had a pretty good time :p).
Tim and I are hoping to make a visit to Oregon/Washington sometime in the next couple months. I'd like to go in the second week of feb as that's Sean's birthday, an I'd like to see him. :D But we'll see. His crazy girlfriend would probably be going, and I don't know if I could handle her....::rolls eyes::
Well...that's about it...I can't think of anything else. So....you kinda know what's going on.
So...that's about the it of it.
Love ya all!
Well, some of you. :)
