Real Life Explosion!
SO! Things have been happening in my life and I have not really been updating LJ to reflect that!
First of all, on Friday I was offered the job that I have been wanting for a while now! HURRAY. I had a really great interview the week prior and I was feeling pretty good about it, but of course I was also trying to convince myself I wasn't going to get it so if I didn't I would not be quite so desolate. BUT I GOT IT. :D! Which is thrilling because now not only will I have a real income (that is not given to me in shady envelopes stuffed with cash), I will also be working out in Alexandria, which means I can MOVE OUT OF THIS GODFORSAKEN HOUSE. Because I am really starting to hate it in this place. I'm pretty sure I've ranted and railed about how ridiculous it is here (remember the Magnums and the thinspiration quote in the kitchen drawer with Jesus??) but it is even MORE RIDICULOUS THAN THAT. It is basically the Kenyan Embassy in this house and there are like at least three compatriots of Dennis who live with him illegally and are not paying rent and if you SAW THE STATE OF THE KITCHEN YOU WOULD VOM. Also people steal my food and my mail and Frank The Literal Creepy Basement-Dweller continues to be gross and stank-ass as he smokes inside the house and it gets sucked up the vent straight into my room. ALSO also, weird bible study sessions go on at all hours in the living room, we never have enough dishes, and EVERYTHING IS JUST GENERALLY SHIT. I cannot fucking wait to leave. Although I do love my newish roommate, Marshall, who is fabulous, and I will miss him. Even my MOTHER loves him.
I'm nervous about finding a new place in Alexandria that is affordable; technically I should probably be on a roommate hunt, but after all the nonsense of this townhouse I JUST WANT TO BE ALONE. I just want a one-bedroom apartment. WHY IS THAT SO DIFFICULT. Plus I'll have to furnish it, ugh. I hate money.
I'm also really nervous about the job! What if I suck at it? What if, after I start, it turns out I hate it? What if, what if, what it.
IN OTHER NEWS, I GOT MY BIG BANG IN ON TIME YESTERDAY! :D! I have soooo much work left to do on it, but it's still nice to have one less thing to worry about. Even if it's only for a second. I pounded out about 18,000 words in less than 24 hours, ahaha. I deserve a break.
I feel like there are so many other things I should update about, but I can't think of any! My mom is coming to visit me soon, and my family is going to go out to eat with beckaandzac's family for the first time as we celebrate mommies. I went to go see How To Train Your Dragon with Becka today, and it was ridiculously adorable. I had some questions about plot choices but WHO EVEN CARES when I was getting teary over all the cuteness. I mainlined all of RuPaul's Drag Race when I was supposed to be writing my Big Bang, as well as all of Ugly Betty that I hadn't seen. It made me cry lots at the end. :( People who have seen it and also know me will probs know why, but I won't spoil! And Drag Race was TRULY EPIC. I kind of want to go to Freddie's to see Tatianna next weekend.
I get to see dark_reaction next Monday!! SO EXCITED. That is also my first day at my new job [-o< Please let it go well.
Lastly: HAPPY BIRTHDAY SAM WINCHESTER. :D! ILU, BB!
