Just a quick update...since it's been so long...
SOOOOOOOO...uhh...yeah, I really don't know what to write about...it's damn hot, and it's not just because of me, hahaha...
JOB:
I have a new job, I now work at Heil Construction in Monrovia. I love it, it's so far, the best job I've had. They are SO relaxed there...I can usually show up like, 10 minutes late, and they don't say anything! I get an hour lunch, and if I go out with the right people, it can be longer...the only bad thing about it is that I have to wake up early, as it's an 8-5 job...don't like this waking up at 6:15 in the morning bullcrap...but other than that, I love it. The people there are amazing and cool and nice...yeah.
LIVING SITUATION:
Well, this next month is my last month at my parent's house. For reals. I've been looking all over the place for a resonably priced apartment. Very difficult. Fucking expensive. But, I managed to find an apartment in North Azusa. Hopefully I'll get it. I would be very happy if I did...it's a 2 bedroom and it's only $895/mo. As opposed to the usual $1200 for a two bedroom...the only thing is, my monthly salary has to be triple the monthly rent. Because it isn't, I have to find a co-signer for the apartment. Which, of course, my parents refuse to do. Something about how "co-signing for your aparment won't allow you to be independent, which is why we want you to move out". Blah, they're just incredibly stupid when it comes to apartments...but hopefully, I'll be able to talk to Derek's parents and see if they'll do me the favor. Hrumph.
DEREK AND I:
...are going to Vegas this Saturday. Yup, we're tying the knot, doing the shotgun wedding thing................haha, had you going there for a bit, didn't I?
Derek's family is going on their annual trip to Vegas/Arizona, and they invited me. I was going to go last year, but I pussied out. Didn't do that this year. Figured, my parents are already convinced I'm a godless fornicator, destined for hell, why not set it in stone? Haha...
Anyway, his mom and stepdad seem to think we ARE going to be getting married, but I assure you all, there are no such plans in process. I do have this stupid, romantic and definitely foolish idea in my head of Derek getting all romantic and proposing to me sometime on this vacation...but then I have to give myself a mental shake, and remind myself that Derek still can't afford the ring...but a girl can still hope, can't she?
Besides, Derek's very loving, but he's not the most romantic creature...and he can't keep a secret to save his life...oh, well...
Anyway, that's about it right now...I'm sweltering, and I'm tired...and my boyfriend's not home yet...*sigh*
