went to start working on Dot's apartment this afternoon. it was worse than i thought. john and terry said Dot had once admitted that she hadn't cleaned since she moved it, and it definitely showed; there were dustbunnies like mad and everything was nicotine-stained. she also neurotically hoarded groceries. actually, she neurotically hoarded everything. you name it, she had about 40 of it still in the package.
we managed to be pretty cold about things, taking things we thought we could use and boxing up the rest to either throw out or bring to the goodwill. however, it doesn't look like we even touched anything except for the fact that there are no books left in the bookcase. this is going to be a very long project, and i don't know how much i can help out. between my mom backseat driving, all the clutter and the fact that everyone talks over everyone else, i'm gonna go crazy if i have to go there every day.
and then, to have to come home to my no-less-cluttered bedroom, where my overfull hamper had spilled on the way out the door before... i'm doing laundry now, regardless of being tired and sore, just so i don't snap and throw out everything i own. as soon as the horror convention i'm going to is out of the way, i'm gonna buckle down on the job search, and subsequently the apartment search. but i can only concentrate on one thing at once, and the con is in two weeks.
i have a lot to get together for that, including a costume for the saturday night showing of Rocky Horror. i bought new fishnets, which make me happy. i haven't had fishnets since college. i want to find a schoolgirl skirt, but i think it's a bit after the season. might have to order one from Torrid.com. or might just have to suffice with a little black skirt. all i know is, it has to look good with tall black vinyl FMBs :D i mean, i can't very well go spend a weekend with a bunch of geeky boys while not looking my best, right? ;) (i'm so bad.)
