I haven't blogged in forever. Shoot me. Well, since its 1 AM and I have to be up at 6 for work, and I'm wide awake, I'll update everybody.

...Except that nothing exciting has happened recently.

I'm doing NaNoWriMo, which is short for National Novel Writing Month, which lasts through November. So far I haven't really written anything, and I've changed the story entirely three separate times. So much for serious writing.

I'm also doing a Twilight the Movie craft swap, which I'm really excited for, because Gods know how fond I am of THAT book series. Actually, I managed to coerce The Boy into taking me to the premier. I have yet to convince him to go to a midnight showing with me, but he's consented to take me at least the day after it releases. And Best Friend wants to go in a small group, so I'll end up seeing it twice. I'm tres excited.

Lets see...what else?

Oh, I'm thinking of adopting a cat. That's going to be a ways off into the future, because The Boy wants to adopt a kitten, so that we can have more...sway...in its behavior. I still don't think there's a problem with adopting a full grown cat, but I see his point. And not only that, we still live in a technically no pets apartment building (except I know people have pets; one apartment has a cat and another has a dog, we have gerbils, and we think Bike Guy has a snake). The other benefit to having a kitten would be training it to leave the gerbils be. Though, they're all in tanks and on shelves so I can't imagine how a cat would get at them. But like I said, we're still planning.

I would also like to add that tomorrow is going to be the worst day ever. I have to work at ON from 7-10 am, then I have to wait around the mall for 3.5 hours until my shift at the bux. Seriously, I only have 6 hours this week at ON. If this is going to be a consistent thing, then I'm not sure I'm going to keep the job. I mean, I would make the same amount of money in tips every week. Not only that, but if I cut out ON that means I have more time for the bux. Which is helpful.

And sadly, I had my nose stud replaced with a clear flexible plastic stud. I had to lie and say that I had the piercing for 3 weeks longer than how long I've really had it. And accordingly, they had trouble getting the stud in my nose. Apparently though, the guy that orders the jewelry keeps ordering the flexi-plastic instead of the hard plastic, which creates difficulties. So the guy came over and more or less re pierced my nose with the plastic stud. So now it aches, but at least its a smaller stud and won't poke my septum anymore. That was very very irritating. And this way I don't have to stick a stupid band-aid over my nose every day.

Ugh. I'm not even close to sleepy or tired in any way. Thank goodness I planned ahead and laid everything out for myself. My only fear now is that I won't hear my alarm and sleep til noon (which is entirely possible). Then again, hate to say it, but I really don't care enough about that job to be worried. I'm already doubting the value of the job to begin with, and I don't really think I'll be staying on after the holidays anyways. I'm looking at this as a seasonal thing, and I guess I'm just going to have to play it by ear. I'll be making way more at the bux, especially if I (FINALLY) start shift training and get more hours. Which was the only reason I got the second job to begin with. Ugh.

I'm going to stop ranting now and try try try to fall asleep.
