You only gotta do one thing right in this world...
I've been listening to SO much Janis lately. She was the queen of blues...she really had it. I can't get enough of her voice. I wish I could sing as down-and-dirty-bluesy as she can. My voice is too soft & pretty. :-\ "A Woman Left Lonely" is a great song that I just heard for the first time a few days ago. I've watched a few interviews with her on youtube...she was such a funny person. Great laugh. SO intelligent. Alot of people think she was on drugs all the time...when that in fact is a common misconception. She quit drugs for a long time, until the last month or so of her life, when a friend of hers gave her a very very pure dose of heroin, and it killed her. I listen to everyone saying "Oh, she looks SO drugged out there." Eh, no, she really wasn't, she just wasn't that attractive of a woman. :P I'm really itching to find a copy of the book "Love, Janis" by her sister, Laura Joplin. I read an excerpt on amazon.com and I really need to read more.
Aaron's birthday was Saturday. He's way into Janis as well...so when I get to see him next, I'm going to give him a painting I finished yesterday, a really great portrait of Janis Joplin. It's probably the best thing I've ever painted. I told him that I'm giving him a painting, and he's dying to know what of (he's SO excited, it's funny stuff) but I'm not even giving him a hint. He has to wait until our schedules actually work out and I can see his face when he sees it. I may take a picture and put it up here, because he doesnt have a LJ and I want to show it off a little before I give it away. :)
I've been SO artsy-fartsy lately. Haha...I just used the phrase "artsy-fartsy". I don't think I have ever used those words before. :P
My paycheck on Friday was $25...they only paid me for 4.5 hours of work, when I worked around 30. I don't know what the fuck is up, so I have to go into work and talk to time and attendance before noon sometime and see what the deal is. It's fucking ridiculous...you'd think, out of common courtesy, the would give me a ring and say "Hey, there's a problem with your card/hours/pay (whatever the fuck it was), and we just wanted to let you know that we're gypping you for the week." That would have been the courteous thing to do...what-the-fuck-ever. The shit better get sorted out, though. I don't work for free. Especially not for a job as shitty as mine. Meh....my next check will just be huge, I guess. I won't complain about that...but how the fuck is $25 supposed to last me an entire week, for food and gas? I have to take money out of my savings which I REALLY don't wanna have to do, I don't want to touch that money because it's for when my brother and I move out here in a month or two, but I have to. GAH I'm so pissed, I just keep bitching. I should stop. It'll all get sorted out.
I'm making do, I guess. With everything...my folks don't know if they're going to be leaving at the end of this month, or the end of the next...so my brother and I just kind of have to be prepared and see what happens. He and I are trying to find a 2 br apartment for less than $700 a month, because we really can't afford much more. We've found quite a few, too, and not all shitty places either. We both may end up having to get second jobs...which is going to bring in more money, but it's going to suck because 1)I won't be able to go to school and 2)My social life will diminish even further. *sigh* It's life, I guess. Haha...Aaron and I talk about taking off and never working again. Go and live out in the middle of nowhere and be happy. That's all I want, really. *shrugs* To travel....but you need money for that. He and I share SO many of the same desires in life. I hear wedding bells.... ;) LOL kidding...
Anywho...I'm running on 4 hours sleep from last night...so I need to hit the sack so I can wake up early. I took a nap after work today for a half hour or so...it was so nice.
Night, kids.
