...I should actually write in my LJ more often, instead of once every 3-4 months.
Anyway. So, I finally have a job. Ready for this? I'm working at Rite Aid... There's a far reach for me. I'm not positive, but I should be getting $9/hr (maybe 8.50, I don't think my manager knows yet, but he was trying for 9), working 35hrs a week. So I'll actually have some money again soon. I work M-F from 9 to 4:30, lunch unpaid. Thing is, all I pretty much do is work at the first register. I don't get to face the store, don't get to do much of anything but make sure my immediate area is neat and faced. Coming from my old store, well, this completely bores me. Ah well, money is money I guess. At least the people are nice.
I'll be able to finally get more memory for my computers, and perhaps be able to run things a little better. My laptop has 1GB (though its reading at 896MB what?). and my desktop has 1.5GB. I plan on grabbing a 2GB stick for both.
speaking of computers. I've been playing a lot of Lord of the Rings Online lately. It's been a lot of fun, and things in this game really blow me away. The graphics look absolutely amazing- sometimes I have to stop leveling to turn my graphics all the way up to admire them. I've been playing with a group of WoW friends, which has been really nice too. Even though none of us are the same level right now sadly. The new expansion comes out soon though, and we plan on going through it together. I play a minstrel. So much fun. Its kind of funny, seeing me play the main healer though. I suppose the next MMO I play, I need to roll a tank as my main. So then...I'll have covered every archetype.
I still play WoW, though its mostly for the raiding right now. There isn't much else to do. We're in the middle of a really bad patch, so I haven't really had reason to log in otherwise. The next patch is Icecrown Citadel, where we'll finally get to fight Arthas, which excites me. After that is Cataclysm. I plan on going into the next expansion no matter what, even though a lot of my friends aren't, which really bums me out. Ah well, can't expect people to play the same game for forever.
On Monday, Ryan and I celebrate our 5 year anniversary. Yeah, scary huh? I'm not sure what we're doing, probably just going out to dinner somewhere after I get home from work. But I can't believe its been 5 years already... soon he'll be out of school, and we'll be back in NH too. It will be nice, I hope.
Next week is Halloween. I don't know what I'm dressing up as yet. Fail.
