What has I been up to!?
What has I been up to!?
OMG, so much xD
---
I had a furry staying here for a month because they were otherwise homeless. He ate my food, used my internet and projector (almost 24-7) and was otherwise treating this like his own personal hangout space instead of making an effort to clean-up or help out. They moved here under false pretenses and made all the roommates un-comfy, but we tried really hard to be good humans and not throw him out on the street. Unfortunately, I had to give him a formal "get the hell out" because he'd been here 30 days without so much as a thank you. (verbal or monetarily)
Good friends have been telling me to not be such a push-over, but I have been homeless and I know hard it can be to get on your feet. I wish the guy well, but I had to tell him I didn't really want him coming over anymore. It's too bad, I really had high hopes of becoming closer friends with the guy.

Went up north to Eureka for a job for a friend of a friend. Was going to go up in the mountains and do some yard work, but on my third day there, I broke one my teeth in half (the filling had fallen out a month before) and had to be taken back to my friend Dagget's house on my birthday because I was vomiting from the pain in my mouth and I couldn't keep down food.
I saw a dentist a few days later, and he filed down the sharp edges so it'd stop cutting open my mouth every time I tried to speak or swallow or spit.
As soon as I recovered, I was in a rush to get home before Halloween because I was hosting a party, that I was going to miss last second because I really needed this job (and the money), and I figured if I couldn't work, I might as well have *some* fun.
I had one friend offer to drive me home, but cancel last second because they got ill forcing me to miss my greyhound ride. I offered another friend $150 to drive me home, but 2 hours into the trip he lost control of the car and smashed the right back tire into a tree. We changed the tire and hobbled to a gas station, saw that the axle was bent and still tried to drive it. It got another 20 minutes before the tire blew again and we were stranded.
The next day I had stayed up all night so I could still catch the greyhound, and my friend said I could walk there, but he didn't tell me it was more than 2 miles away. I ran most of the way, but in an hour and a half there was no way I could make it with my bad legs. I missed it by 10 minutes and was stuck there another 24 hours. -.-
I finally made it home Halloween night, got beer for everyone, cleaned the house, and got the party really going. We went trick-or-treating and about 3/4ths of the way in, the Giants won the World Series and San Francisco lit up with people cheering and screaming and setting off fireworks. One guy almost hit us with a Roman Candle and then drunkenly gave us each a beer asking over and over "You're all over 18, right?!" The party ended awesome and we were all up well into Monday.

I went out and applied at a few places and got a job right away working at the mall selling calendars. It's only going to be 25hours a week, which should be enough to be some extra money while not so much that I makes me sick (I hope). It's a seasonal job, but it does look like there's a chance to keep it if I do well. I'm also looking into grants for college, so I might not need it to.

Been doing lots of art and scanning, getting things updated so I might actually get my website all new and shiny one of these days. We'll see. Hehe
