guh, lots-o-stuff. Bolded for topic changes
D and I got really honest last night. For me, about his job situation, or rather, his compulsive need to quit his jobs every 4 or 5 months. I love him to death and I know he loves me and no matter what happens we are each other’s best friends. In fact he occasionally lets me know that I’m not allowed to break up with him, but if I ever did he’d still be calling me daily bouncing ideas off me...and we still have collaborations to do in the future.
But I digress.
He’s applying to a couple Macy’s in my area for seasonal work. I’m not one of these “corporations are evil” people. Capitalism makes us and breaks us. Everyone has a face, even CEOs, and everyone is corruptible and equally capable of salvation. However, Macy’s in a company set up to screw over their employees, and I hate the men I work with, with one exception. But no time to need a paycheck like the holidays. Macy’s is evil, at least to those they write the checks to.
Also, I’ve been reading the web comic “Hanna is Not a Boys Name”, it’s a supernatural comedy with an apathetic zombie narrator. Yeah, I love it.
Tea tree oil (the raw stuff that dries out your skin, not the crap with lotion in it) is still my 3 or 4 day cure to the DEEP monster acne, not a bunch of tiny pimples, with a little lotion when the skin dries out naturally. It’s worked for me since I worked at Walgreen’s 4 or 5 years ago.
People I’d like to get back into real contact with, in no particular order;
Jessica
Nicolle(which is dumb, because I can contact her online at any time. In high school an in JC I know I was a really abrasive person. Moving away, independence, and new people have made me less opinionated and improved how I speak to people. I really liked listening to her opinions and how she viewed the world and other people. But I know it didn‘t come across.)
Mikey, not high school Mike, my junior high friend. He was a foster kid and moved. I know I’ll never see him again.
Julie, yes from high school. We had a couple opportunities to hang out one on one. I wish I made more of an effort, but that’s just not who I was at the time. She’s a fascinating person and beautiful in her ugliest moments.
Albert, we talk occasionally on myspace, but I like hearing about how he’s improving himself. He seems so happy when we talk about that stuff.
Megan (also dumb, because she‘s here on LJ and I can contact her at any time. I didn‘t know how to relate to her back in the day, but I still really liked her.)
I know there are more, but that’s what I got at the moment.
I’m basically done with my xmas gift to my sister. I’m getting my brother a season of Venture Brothers. My mom is getting Bare Minerals, my dad something camping related. I’m at a loss for D at the moment.
I hope my sister keeps working out(she has been going to the gym every week for 6 or 7 months). She’s medically obese, if not morbidly obese, but I’m really proud of the steps she’s made to get healthy and even her choice to go back to school for a trade. I don’t know that I’ve ever been proud of her in my life, but I am now. I just wish she’d get rid of that leach Mat.
I just bought many socks. I wear a lot of skirts and dresses these days. I doubt if I ran into anyone I went to school with that they’d recognize me. There are some things that haven’t changed much, but I don’t think even my ex would recognize me unless he looked me in the eye.
The condo has only north facing windows. So we never have direct sunlight into this place. It’s great in the summer, but in the winter it’s often colder indoors than out. So after 4 days of below 60 degrees in here, it’s time to turn on the heat.
Nicole from Barnes & Noble met a new guy! Her break up several months back was REALLY bad. Like, they-both-get-half-of-the-puppy bad. Glad to see her move on. New dude is described to me as a "gorgeous geek".
But I digress.
