Another "Randomness of it all!" post coming atcha
It's done!! I'm done painting my bedroom walls! It turned out so nicely! I'll try to get pics up soon once my room is cleaned up and I get some new shelving units in here in the next month or so.
I never realized how much CRAP I have until I decided, "Hey, I want to repaint my bedroom." I mean, I had a good idea, but GOOD LORD. It doesn't help that my dresser and desk and queen-sized bed take up the majority of space in here. I kind of want a smaller-sized bed, to be honest. A full-sized would be ideal. Kevin jokes around that if I ever get rid of my bed, he'd gladly take it off my hands "because it's so comfy." Ha ha, his room is smaller than mine. He'd barely be able to move around with all the stuff he has.
*tangent* Oh my freaking God, I can't WAIT for Halloween. I have to get started putting my costume together soon. I won't be able to wear it to work on account of it being kind of...well, skimpy. (It is a ballerina costume, after all.) But I'll be going to Help Me Mommy's Rocky Horror Halloween show, and maybe another party, so I want to dress up. I don't care if I'm 30. I'm starting to feel like my good ol' festive self again. :)
*tangent* Well, Jessica moved out and she and Hunter broke up. (Again.) Hunter tried to paint it like she was the one who did the "dumping" and gave some excuse about how if she stayed with him, she'd never be able to live to her potential. And Hunter agrees, really. We all do. And he said that yeah, he's sad about it, but he's not exactly heartbroken over it.
But there was a lot more to it than that. The main reason she moved in here was because she claimed her parents were charging her rent and told her they were saving half of her rent for whenever she was able to move out on her own so she'd have some finances to lean on "in case," and they were allegedly blowing that money. So Hunter talked Mom and Dad into letting her move in here temporarily until she was able to get her own place. And she really didn't seem to be doing much to look for her own place. She sure liked to spend her paychecks on frivolous stuff, she was using up a lot of electricity and gas and hot water, she was still visiting her family on a regular basis (uh, then why did she move out?)....yeah, pretty much a free ride. We think she told her family that she was expecting Hunter to propose and they were doing a trial living-together thing. The thing is, Hunter is not looking to getting married anytime soon. He'll be 22 in less than a month. He's still young. He's going to be finishing college in the next year and he'll be getting his life really established soon. I don't think he's ready to be tied down to one woman anytime soon. He's even told me about this stuff, so I totally saw a potential breakup coming. (I hate to sound pessimistic about stuff like that, but it's true, because they'd been having problems lately.)
Plus, she's not exactly a stable person. Hunter says she's kind of manic-depressive and had a history of cutting herself. And I guess she went back to cutting herself when she was staying here. OH GOD, CUTTERS. I don't want to sound abrasive or dismissive or anything for voicing my opinion right now, but....I don't get people who cut themselves. Now I worked with someone at Blockbuster who used to do that, and she explained it to me that people who do that are trying to numb whatever pain or problems they're having by cutting themselves. i mean, I guess I understand, but I still think it's kind of stupid. "Oh no, life is so hard for me to deal with, so I'm going to inflict more pain on myself by cutting myself in an obscure part because I don't really want to kill myself." (This coming from someone who has actually HAD suicidal tendencies and had to do time in a psych ward. Don't say I don't know what I'm talking about.) I don't get it.
Just a couple of days ago (a few days after she moved out), I found her Gilette Venus shaver in our bathroom with one of those replaceable cartridge heads, and I didn't think there was a way to remove the actual razor part from the cartridge but she managed to do just that. So I showed Hunter, and he told me he didn't feel so bad for breaking up with her now because he does NOT put up with that shit. He dealt with it before their first breakup, and he did NOT want to deal with it again.
*sigh* Enough about that. That's been the drama that we've been dealing with here for the last week.
*tangent* Kevin was asked to step down from his position at his job. He's now second-shift IMS, and he's got a weird work schedule now, but after one day of doing IMS work, he said it's definitely not as stressful now. Maybe it's for the best.
