AHH I FINISHED MY BANDOMBIGBANG STORY!! 8,000 WORDS IN A WEEK, I DON'T KNOW HOW BUT I DID IT. I'm really proud of myself. I've completely ignored everything else in life (even refused to cover a work shift, oh god that's terrible) so I could just write. I can't believe it took 2 months to get to 10,000 words, and then the second half was written mostly in a week. I'm proud of it, there were times I wasn't even sure where it was going, but last night I was like, "Oh, I got this," whipped out the last 2,500 words, quick read through, searched for a title, and emailed. AND that was after 9 hours of work, and I closed the night before. I am burnt out on EVERYTHING.
So, I will try to make this as painless as possible:
So, last wednesday was fall out boy. Thursday I stayed with DJ, then went to lunch with Jon, then game night at my sisters. Stayed the night with her, she took me to work the next morning, then back to her house, to stay the night for adventure island in the morning. That's how I went four days without even being at home.
Saturday was awesome; got really burnt, rode lots of slides, laid out and read, then sis and I were planning movie and dinner at her house afterwards. Nice stuff, but halfway through the movie DJ calls with boyfriend drama, needing to go out, so I go home to throw on clothes and hit the bar with DJ.
Oh, I could go on for awhile about the Spring Hill bars. Awkwardly saw so many people I went to HS with, got asked out numerous times by a 40-something-year-old redneck (he wouldn't leave me alone and kept buying me drinks!) Got abandoned by DJ because aformentioned ex showed up, hung out with this funny guy by the jukebox, picking songs, got way too drunk on vodka cranberries, and passed out in DJ's car. Awesome.
And then I had to work Sunday morning at ten am! Even more awesome! It was DJ and I, so that was nice, we were slow and hungover together (I think I was still drunk, actually. Almost puked, how appetizing). Monday DJ and I spent the day together, working on her class project, getting dinner, shopping, etc, so that was nice. I then I've just been working. Every. Day. Three more people fired, so I've been covering shifts. Lots of drama! Actually, the manager that I always complain about might be getting fired. I'm trying not to get too excited (oh, that's really bitchy sounding) cause it's not final, and we all might be losing our jobs, so I'm just focused on making sure my ass is saved. Our friend Tera is getting trained to take over Pam's job, so this might actually be worse.
Finally, on top of everything, I had a phone interview on wednesday for housing for fall. Ah, it was nerve-wracking! It was like a job, with all these "what are your personal goals?" and "tell me a time where you had to resolve a conflict" questions and I messed up really, really bad on parts, but I'm so fortunate to have 4 years of community living experience, that might be the only reason I get picked. 8 girls get to live in the house, it was like auditioning for the real world, jeez. But, I'll find out next Friday.
K, that long winded entry is all! Now I'm going to catch up on my flist and twitter and missed tv shows :)
