i never update this.....
so i thought i would, it's funny....i check livejournal everytime i'm on the internet at home, but i never post anything....i don't know who even reads this anymore, but whatever...today is my day off and i need to waste some time while doing laundry.
let's see....what is new? a lot i guess. i went to court last monday....and now i can't drive as i please......fucking cops and checkpoints....it was funny we were all waiting to go into the courtrooms, in richmond there are 2 courtroom that are in session at the same time and they're across from eachother....there were about 175-200 people waiting to enter the rooms....when we were standing there i turned to erin and said "everyone here fucking hates cops" and i dont know....i just thought it was funny, when a cop would walk through nobody would move out of the way or really look at them....so yes i now have a dui on my record, and im pissed.....of all the nights to bust me i guess it was the best....i only had two drinks and was in a good mood.....ugh....fucking richmond....at least i can drive to work and school....
anyway....let's see....work is going a bit better, my boss is still a douche who doesnt know what in the hell is going on. the opened up our department on saturdays for the summer, some test or something. so i've been working massive ammounts of overtime lately....to pay off the whole dui thing, my car insurance is almost due and i don't even want to know how much that's going to cost.....plus we're going to mexico next month....so i better have something in my bankaccount....ugh i wish i would hit the lottery
i'm actually going back to school this semester, i've said that i need to graduate a million times, but i've come to the conclusion that i need to do something that makes me happy before i go completely insane. with the dui, crappy work and just being in debt....i need a little time to do something i enjoy. so, i'm going to take my senior metalsmithing class....it's 6 credits packed into one day (friday.) i havent had much time to make anything in the past what, 2 almost 3 years....so going back to the studio will be good-i hope. i have a bunch of ideas....so i hopefully won't run out of creativity this semester.
i've been digging my way out of debt for the past year, paying off old bills and staying on top of the current ones....so now i can afford school-for the most part. my credit will be pretty cleaned up by the time i graduate...so then i can do the adult thing, buy a house and all of that. it's creeping me out, a lot of my friends from high school and college are getting married, having kids, buying houses, finding god......whatever.....everything that i'm not really doing. maybe i'm just selfish.....
i'm in a good relationship....we're technically "engaged", we're talking about getting married in vegas this winter....and a few friends want to go with us....so that can be fun....but as far as a super serious wedding, i dont know how i really feel about that. i have this idea, since it isnt really legal....erin and i will just get married a few times and have a reception eachtime, maybe move between weddings so we can make new friends....that way we get a lot of stuff.....i'm not serious....but yeah....free stuff is great lol...
i just dont really want to rush things, but at the same time...i dont know...it's just confusing. we're going to be moving into a new apartment together....erin moved into my place officially on may 1st....i miss having my OWN space but i'm used to it now....we're just moving into a larger apartment a floor up....but it's still new.
at the beginning of this year i decided that i need to travel more...just to get out of richmond for a little while. went to mardi-gras for my birthday, and we're going to mexico next month.....so the plan is working so far. we're going to vegas (hopefully) around my birthday next year, and it looks like a trip to spain might be in the works for next summer....
i don't really want to settle down and buy a house right now, because i don't think i want to stay in richmond much longer. i've been here for six years....and well, i'd like to try another city before i make a huge commitment and buy a house. although i'd actually be doing soemthing with my money other than blowing it on rent-the idea of having something to show for my hard earned money does sound nice. but yeah...with the not great credit right now, and richmond being well...richmond i can't afford what i want, and erin refuses to live in the ghetto....no hills, courts or whatever for her lol.
so yeah, i think i'm selfish and not settled enough to do the married with kids thing.....my two pitbulls are more than enough....kona is lucky i havent killed her yet......it's a good thing she's cute, almost makes up for her being the "anti-christ destroy everything, then pee on it, while barking the entire time puppy."
my stepdad had open heart surgery about a month ago....i have no idea what i wrote about last.....but that was a big deal....he's ok and back to work. he says he feels good, but i think he feels a little worse than he says....and just wants to get out of my mothers sight for a minute....poor man couldn't even go into the back yard without her watching him. she means well, but she's a little overprotective...the doctors told her to ease up on him a little lol
i've been knitting like crazy lately....and i have this fascination with quilting....i dont know why, i just do. so i'm going to attempt to make a quilt, not a traditional one of course....but yeah, we'll see if i ever get around to making it. oh....and i'm going to enter 1708's wearable art show again this year....i've got my idea.....and i think it's pretty good.....the theme is "x" because it's the tenth annual show.....i'm not going to announce my plan yet....but i might later.....too much.....and i have to switch the laundry....so maybe ill update again in another month lol
