it could only be JAAAA-RED!!!!!
wow, livejournal has been significantly pimped since my last entry. rock on with your bad self, el-jay.
life is good. my room is coming together slowly but surely -- and i love it, despite what i wrote in my last entry about it embodying the permanence (permanency?) of home. it really is going to be my little haven. the walls are painted this subtly pale, springlike greenish color, which is wonderfully calming and goes nicely with my bedding (which is a slightly deeper shade of pale green). it's all very light, earthy, and calming... rather my style, if i do say so myself. i'm adjusting to home quite nicely after that hellish first full day (monday), and G and i celebrated one year yesterday. and what a year it's been! he's wonderful. i've never felt so lucky, comfortable in my own skin, and deserving of love and self-respect as i have this year.
as of yesterday, i've got a full-time job as an assistant teacher in a 2- and 3-year-olds room at a center that's seriously -- not kidding -- 5 minutes away from home, which rocks. it'll hold me over until i start graduate school. at $10/hr, it's not super, but it's not poverty either. i start january 3, and i'm only slightly miffed about missing out on the traditional humongo winter break (we had a month off back in my college days, haha). at least this won't leave me time to get bored and develop suicidal urges... not that i was ever suicidal, mind you. but you know. ;)
my life now is so different from what it was a week ago, and worlds different from what it was two weeks ago. it's funny how fast things change.
this is shaping up to be about the most boring livejournal entry in the history of the known universe so i'ma bounce. love, peace, and hair grease, y'all.
p.s. oh, and as for the title... i've had that jingle in my head since i heard it in the car yesterday. seriously, who greenlit that one? "yes, let's have a group of women screech our name in the highest possible tone. that'll make people want to come here!" wtf? someone needs to tell their marketing department what's up.
