Online but not on Live Journal
Hey all, sorry I haven't been on LJ lately. It's not that I'm doing another computer avoidance thing, since I've been on the computer, it's just that I don't get on LJ because I don't have anything to say. Usually when I do think "I guess I can post this on Live Journal" it's something negative and I'm not around my home computer so I have time to think it over and decide that it would be stupid to post it... or something like that.
I'll level with you, mainly the reason I'm not posting is because of school. My schedule is very structured lately (which my left brain loves but drives my right brain crazy, so I both like and hate it) so I do less... extra stuff. M-F I have work/school alternating days but all days are basically the same, I wake up and get ready for the day, go to work or school, and come home and do homework (homework has to happen every day or else it piles up beyond the point of realistically getting done). Then Saturday I run errands at the beginning of my day and then for the only time in the week go and do something and neglect homework. Then Sunday, because of my religion, I shouldn't really go out and spend money, so I go to church and then go home and, you guessed it, do homework. Occasionally I do other things on Sundays like clean.
So my schedule is boring and very busy, though it may not seem so. This is partially the reason I haven't been getting on a lot lately, the other reason before mentioned is that I just have nothing to write. Nothing very interesting has happened lately.
Any way, here's some of what's going on, it might be long-ish since I haven't posted in a while.
I've been bad and spent a lot of money lately. I should be putting my money towards useful things like paying off my school debt or starting to put more away because the economy may continue to go downhill, but I spent like... well I'm not going to tell you how much, since it is shameful, but a lot at FYE (media store) lately. I sold my regular copies of School Rumble (I only had 2) to buy the complete slimset, which was still expensive but compared to the original price a lot less. I also finished my Trouble Chocolate series and bought a Super Gals disc and the Zoolander CD (which, unfortunately, was not as awesome as I had hoped)... then I was going to wait but I had a coupon that expired so I bought the new Nightmare Before Christmas because I didn't want it to go in the vault again. Damn Disney and its vault!!! I need to buy Sword In The Stone before it goes back in, and also Hercules (is it a vault movie though?) and Robin Hood (the fox version, this is not vaulted I think). Hopefully some of those will not go back into the vault soon so I can wait to buy them, because buying all of them at the same time is just such a huge chunk of money. Then on top of that Sleeping Beauty is coming out of the vault soon- I'll say it again, damn you and your vault Disney! It's so gimmicky and it works- you have to buy it now or you're out of luck (unless you ebay or such). How can they do that. Stupid Disney (whine).
On top of that I'm trying to get ready for Halloween (heart) and I am being Dr. Horrible (www.drhorrible.com) and so I'm trying to assemble the costume. It is difficult, it's not really a making costume, I have to buy most of the stuff. Wig, goggles, gloves, boots... I can't make any of those. So I can make the coat but I don't think I'm awesome enough just to know how to do it out of thin air yet, so I'm trying to find patterns, there are NONE. And I bought the wig but it needs to be cut a little and styled. I would have just spent more on a wig that was more accurate but I couldn't find any so I have to do it myself. Any way this costume will end up costing a fair amount, so I actually kind of held myself back at FYE, which considering all I bought is really horrible. Sometimes when you have money you just go on a spending spree though, kind of. It isn't ok when you have bills to pay but I had extra this time around. I wish I was more responsible with money and saved more (I used to have a lot in savings but then my car proceeded to start to break something or other every couple of months so that's gone now) but on the other hand at least I'm covering my bills for now.
Any way both of my parents are doing decently well and my sister is not at home so my life is relatively peaceful right now and I pray it stays that way. Although lately I feel like I get one or two days of happiness to approximately 2 months or more of shitty-ness so of course I am due for bad again, but here's to hoping it doesn't come!
Any way, farewell for now, all!
