New house
So. All settled in.
Well, mostly. I still have several boxes lying around :P
My new room turned out to be the same size as my old one. Except, there's no closet as it's a converted garage. So, that means even less room, because I was forced to get a wardrobe. Decided on doing another dresser, though, because the wardrobe I bought from ikea pissed me off and wouldn't fit through the door. I ended up with more bruises and injuried than it was worth.
Anyway, so because the room is so small, I was able to convince my mom to put my desk upstairs in our giant living room. It fits very nicely in the corner, and everyone can get use out of it, so I don't think it was too bad of a deal. (It's the corner Micke desk from Ikea, so it's pretty annoyingly huge--I honestly don't know what I was thinking when I got it D: )
Put up lots of mirrors to try and make the room look a bit bigger. Mom says no painting because it's a rental and she's hoping to find subsidized housing or something, but those have huge waitlists, so there's no telling how long we'll be here and she doesn't want to go to the trouble of having to paint everything back. Understandable, I suppose.
Made an amv--well, okay, pmv (picture-music-video)--today for the first time in years. I'll link it to this post. I was walking home from work today and the song came through my shuffle, and I like thinking of stories and series and characters when music comes on and whether they'd fit together and the idea worked so much that I really wanted to post it. That, and the song's so short that it was hardly any work at all xP Anyway, it's Bartimaeus-themed, probably because I've had it on my mind recently because my rp with Brooklynx. I really like our rp. Mostly because I really like Nathaniel and Bartimaeus together, I guess, but Brooklynx is pretty cool, too. Honestly, though, Nathaniel and Bartimaeus have turned entirely OOC. They'll have short, spontaneous flashes of in-characterness, though.
Finally have a day off tomorrow! Going to spend it out and about. I have to buy a new pack of bus tickets because the u-pass doesn't come out til the 29th, and I've only one left. I'm also going to head down to school. I'm meeting a guy to buy a textbook off him, and one of the ones I've been waiting for has finally come into the bookstore, so I'll be picking up that one too. Also, Best Buy is having thgis cell-phone trade in, so I thought I'd take in my old two phones that are essentially obsolete and see what I can get for them. I'm thinking of getting a new cell phone just because. Something like the Iphone, where I can have my music in the same place. I'm not all too big on the touchscreens, though, when it comes to texting. So, it'll really depend on how things work out. Maybe I'll do a trial period or something.
I really can't wait for school to start up again. Having the summer off was definitely not as liberating as I thought it'd be. I felt too useless, despite working two jobs and being busy with them every day. I still didn't feel...productive, I guess would be the appropriate word. Although I've no set idea to what I'd like to work towards career-wise, I've decided to get my diploma for Asian Studies. Why not? Most of my hobbies revolve around it (well, Japan). So I'm hoping to get that in a year or two. I'll be taking as many courses as I think I can handle this and next term, and hopefully in the summer term as well (though the latter would depend on whether they actually offer any courses that are relevent--this past summer was all mostly nursing stuff).
My sister's watching a movie behind me (I'm in the kitchen) and it's full of swearing and yelling and action. It's very distracting. Especially when the actors suddenly start having sex.
So I've put my mp3 in, and it drowns it out a bit.
...I think I'm running out of things to say right now. Shit! Just looked at the time and it's after midnight. I told myself that I'd try and sleep more regular hours--I have to start getting up early for school, and I want to try and get rid of the seemingly perpetual shadows under my eyes. I've been trying to work on my appearance more: brushing my teeth with whitening toothpaste, washing my face regularly with the avon cleanser I have, wearing make-up other than cover-up, thinking of exercising. Really, I don't know if I'm going to get any progress done on the latter--I keep telling myself "I'll jog every night or every morning" or something like that, but really? I'm easily distacted by the written word. Especially when it describes erotic actions. Between two males. With pictures.
Okaaaay, then, with that I'm going to sign off because I've found a couple Yaoi manga to read. :D
Night!
Oh yeah, here's the link to that video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m_0cjXxYdHA&feature=channel_video_title
