new stuff, kinda
ok, so I dyed sebastien's dreads recently, they are striped black and reddish-orange with dark blond tips. we're thinking about making the red redder with some manic panic or soemthing similar, and making the tips a much lighter blond. However, I must say, it looks AWESOME!!! we did it by dying his hair all read except the tips, and then waiting a week or two, taping stripes on his dreads with masking tape, and then dying it black. the masking tape prevents the black dye from getting underneath, and does a surprisingly good job, there was no bleeding underneath or fading or any type of gradient, it was just straight lines. we took pics, but it will be a bit before i can post them.
We also took a littl trip, just us two, the other night. we set up the house quite nicely, and had it all to ourselves, and while it was a rough, eye-opening time, it was good.
It never ceases to amaze me how much i love sebastien, how much he loves me, and how perfect we seem to be for each other. neither of us is perfect, and we both have our flaws, but we're working on them together. Life ain't easy, but i don't know what i would do without him. He's really quite a special person, and I'm very lucky to have him in my life.
We still don't particularly like ohio, but we're dealing with it. same goes for living with bonnie. We miss our friends on the west coast, and the life over there. It's where we want to end up living permanently, but we have at least one more move before that--wherever I get accepted to vet school (if I do) and we hope he can get a job nearby. I don't like to think about that though, it scares me that it won't work out....
we've got a lot of work to do in the next ten years of our lives, but we know approximately what we want, so at least there's that.
so basically, life is busy for us, but it keeps us from being too miserable here. there's lots we're working on, a little at a time.
in other news, i have 6 ferrets, three of which i am fostering until may. They are really sweeties, and I know i'll be sad to see them go, but happy to have less poop LOL. just kidding! Buddy is doing ok, but all the animals ned to see a vet...i need to get the new ferrets vaccinated for distemper and rabies, and i'd like to get them all ADV tested. I'm pretty sure they have all been exposed to ECE already too. As for buddy, i don't know when his last rabies and other series of shots was, so it's probably that time of year again too...his rabies tag says 2003 but he may have gotten the 3 year shot, so i just need to call and find out. I'd like to get his hips X-rayed and bloodwork done on him cuz he's getting old, and he acts funny about his hips, and he's epileptic but not badly so. I found a new home for my mom's rabbit, now i just have to make sure she doesn't go back on her word to let me give it away....ugh.
I've been sewing and making kandi, and i'm getting decent at both. I really want own sewing machine, badly...but i'd need a good one. We've also been cooking a lot, and getting better at that too...i love food! i just wish we had better grocery stores around here, with more variety!
I miss raving, but I miss GOOD raves...my brother is getting tables soon, so I am just DYING to learn how to DJ. I've always been interested, I think i'd LOVe to play at raves. Not for the $ or the fame or any of that bullshit that never quite works out, but because I would enjoy it! And for house parties that I would throw. and speaking of which, i really miss having my own place. It affects me more deeply than i thought it would...i honestly don't do well cohabiting with many other people...i can live with sebastien, and i think a few select others, but i'm not a good roommate, LOL.
I'm worrying that i'm not getting enough done towards vet school...i need to be volunteering, and I need to be giving those animal care seminars i've been wanting to, and lots of things like that...but it seems like all my time gets eaten up so quickly! I can't figure out how though...i know i need to cut down on the computer crap, but it doens't all go there...it's eaten in small amounts throughout the day. I just need to be more efficient, less lazy. and i find it HARD, but i'm working on it! how on earth does one motivate oneself??? I miss having a life though...i love school for the classes, and my labwork, but i HATE HATE HATE homework, for the time it takes up. I never shoudl have taken time off, having a job spoils you....
ok, well, that's enoughf or now i guess...more some other time.
