REAL STUFF! 0_0
Hi everyone - I've been lax about posting lately. Things have been a bit crazy.
Anyway, this is full of real life stuff. Christmas time was good to me. I got a large holiday bonus from my full time job (while the part time one continues to suck...but I can't turn down $500ish a month). I was also called into the office with the president, vice president, and my immediate supervisor (we're a small company) and told hey you know that 7.5% raise we gave you a couple weeks ago? Oops, we screwed up. To which I began to panic, until they said "We're not paying you ENOUGH". Which is fine with me. So I got a promotion and a raise! =) I also found an apartment, so as of February 1st, I will no longer be living with my parents. And since I will be 26 in March, not a moment too soon. The raise made it so that it went from me thinking I would have enough for bills and a little bit left over for fun stuff to not having to worry about buying food and going to a movie one month. *iz happy*
So, I am moving all of the bulky stuff (and hopefully the majority of everything else) next Saturday the 30th. I am in the process of trying to sort through and pack up 25 years of stuff, and I feel like I'm just making a huge labyrinthine mess in my room and not getting anything accomplished, which is frustrating. Anyone have any packing/moving tips? Any and all information is greatly appreciated!!
Still nothing on the dating front...was seeing one guy sporadically, but he's a flake and would never contact me. Guy I'm currently interested in is a bartender, and we seem to be having phone issues. My texts/calls don't go through occasionally. So I'm not getting my hopes up too high, but I like him.
On the geeky front, I found a few mythology books I forgot I owned, and got my friend J into Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog. How is everyone else? I have been reading your entries, even if I haven't commented, I promise. And I've been really enjoying beanbeans' perfume reviews. So much so that I might branch out and try a few if I come across them.
