Since you've been gooooooone!!!! /singsing
OK, so I can't actaully sing right now, since my tongue is all swollen to the size of a hippopotamoose, but that's 'kay.
Been a while since I updated here. I mostly blog on MySpace (when I blog at all, when is not a lot...) but I can actually access LJ from work, and I forgot to bring a book today, so /shrug. Here goes.
Married life is a lot like unmarried life, but with another ring on my finger. Two rings on one finger takes some getting used to.
We need to be out of the townhouse by the end of the month. Like the cool cool chick I am, I am moving back home with my parents - and bringing my husband with. We were looking at buying a house, but we really need to save up a downpayment (and it wouldn't suck to have my degrees and a stable not-temp job so I could be depended on to make house payments...), so we're moving into the parentals' basement for a year or so to save up some moolah for a house of our own. I got to pick pretty new colors to paint it, which is cool, and they're putting in a kitchen area and a shower, which is even cooler. Basement apartment, here we come.
Working with Corporate Credit at LOL again. Spoke to the boss-lady (who magically no longer scares me, woot!) and it sounds like they're going to keep me on as a long-term part-time temp, since I basically know how to do all the stuff they need a temp to do, and they're sick of trying to train in new (semi-incompetent) temps. So I'd work part-time, increasing my hours during the busy times (like month-end) and when any of the 3 full-time people go on vacay. Cool beans. Part time job + full time school should = easier than full time both. (That sucks.)
What else... I put a coupla purple streaks in my hair, and for Johnny and my 1-month wedding anniversary (though I didn't realize that's what it was at the time...) I got my nose and tongue pierced. I'd jokingly told him I was getting my tongue pierced, but he made such a cute face when I said it that I had to go through with it.
Have realized that purple is now my favorite color, pushing the long-forerunning grey into the background. Oddly enough, pink - which had had a #2 place in my heart for so long, and #1 before the grey came - is being pushed back further. Too many nasty shades of pink, I guess. Bought purple titanium nose, tongue, and bellybutton rings, and can now coordinate with the purple hair.
I got a new Macbook for college, since my old laptop was a peice of crap with no battery life, and my classes are all 3-5 hours long each this fall. Can't really take notes on a laptop with a dead battery, so it was time for an upgrade. I love my Mac, but it's like learning to use a computer all over again. Haven't even started trying to figure out Office '08 (which I had to buy for the Mac 'cuz that's what they use at school... suck), so that should be an adventure.
Other than that... I'm trying to learn Japanese on my own, using this thing called the "Pimsleur" system. Supposed to be better than Rosetta Stone, or so their reviews say. We'll see. Should be interesting, anyway.
I think Oni's sick, so I need to find a vet that will look at reptiles to take her in to. Her tail is way too skinny, and she looks kind of emaciated. Also won't eat.
Gotta go back to work. Later!
