The many reasons why I forgot about the internet lately.
First of all, because I scored a fantastic new job! I'll be working a very boring contract for Verizon mapping out where the fiber-optic cables will be placed all over the country. It is total point-and-clicky goodness, my friends! And will be done to the tune of $16.50 an hour!
I dunno what that means to you people, but around here it means HEAVEN. I managed to escape college debt-free, but Chris was not so lucky. But with this beautiful full-time position, we can pay off the student loans no problem. I could not be happier.
It also means that we can start saving for our trip to Italy.
And that we might be able to add in a visit to Greece.
There are no emoticons to express how big my smile is at this current time.
So, on top of escaping the horror of retail, I have also fallen in love with my own comic. (Yes, the mermaid one.) *swoons* I realize that this is a very bad way to advertise, so I will limit my obsessing to LJ. The only person I've seen successfully fangirl their own series is Yuu Watase, but she does a lot of things no one else can pull off.
But, yes. There are cute boys and I already have fanfic ideas of how to ship them with the heroine. O.o;; I KNOW. What's wrong with me?! Hee.
I want to just start drawing the damn thing, but I know enough to be like, "Hey, wait. How about a script first?" Uggh. I think I will draw more smexy boys now.
I also have itchy fingers to get started on the Kantai costume for Chris. I bought a whole crapton of suede to make the armor out of! Now I just need batting and some chicken wire...
And also, how awesome was 300? OMG, I saw it twice because it just kicks so much movie ass! It was the first movie I've seen in sooooo long that accomplished exactly what it set out to do with so much delight and panache!
I mean, Gerard Butler freaked the living shit out of me in Phantom of the Opera I kid you not. Those LIPS. The way they stuck together at the corners of his mouth when he sang!! The ENTIRE EFFING MOVIE I'm sitting there going, "Liiiiiiiips. Liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiips." Exactly like in Austin Powers. But that pointy beard did amazing things for him, no joke.
So, yeah. Go see 300. See the sexy men. See the sexy women. See Paulo from Lost be totally sexy and actually make you kinda not want him to be eaten by the smoke monster. And you better stay for the HOTTEST ending credits you'll see this year. If you don't, I will personally introduce my foot to your face. *shakefist*
But don't go for the buttsecks. The movie is surprisingly straight for consisting almost entirely of mostly naked men in leather undies.
In other news, we have a sinkhole in our alley.
No, seriously. The pavement caved in under a AEP truck because the ground underneath it has been eroding away for some time now, apparently. I'll try and post pictures tomorrow. The 8 ft hole is pretty impressive.
Much love to you all! Sorry for being a lazy loser!
