Bump

Ok, InfOnline has finally added the spring term to its enrollment options. Only problem? I owe them $108. So I can't register until I pay that off. Which isn't too dramatically bad, considering I could owe them an entire semester's worth.

So I'm going to drop some money on that tomorrow, and hope that my AE check will cover what I need it to. It should. My hours were decent.

Other news. I'm now obsessed with Braveheart. Yeah, the movie I told The Boy I never wanted to see because it was "too violent" and truth be told I thought there would be gore in the last scene. So I avoided it up until it came on from the beginning (I hate starting movies from the middle) on TV while he and I were enjoying our anniversary getaway. So we spend 3 hours watching a cut-for-TV version of Braveheart, and I absolutely fell in love. So much so that on the following day I went out and bought it. I've seen it twice since. I'm just addicted to the love story in it, I guess. Not to gush but the line "I will love you, you and no one else" just gets to me. It takes real devotion to promise that to someone and believe fully that your love will endure. Then again this WAS 13th century Scotland and things were different then. Then, divorce didn't exist, much less at a rate of 50%.

Sorry. Gushing.


Oh, semi-big news!

I've decided on shooting for a study abroad program this coming summer...to Ireland! I've even narrowed it down to a couple Irish Studies programs and a couple different locations. I'd really like to go to Galway and learn Gaelic and immerse myself in the culture that I ancestrally identify with. Which brings me to my next news bulletin:

I'm getting my first tattoo. I'm going down to the artist tomorrow to discuss size, price, color, etc. I'm getting an Irish harp on my ankle. I've thought about this for a while now and I think I'm finally ready to just...do it. And it helps that I've seen this artist's work and I've been there while she did my friend's scorpio symbol. I know she's really cool and that she's a really really good artist. I was blown away with her portfolio. So I'm really looking forward to working with her.

Nothing else super exciting is going on. Other than its 3:13 AM and I'm not even remotely tired, yet I have to get up early to volunteer and I won't get a chance to nap later on before work. Which brings me to that pleasant topic, I've decided to just stick it out with the unprofessional "supervisor" until mid-December, which is when I'm quitting for school. Granted, that gives me most of January with not much to do, but hopefully by then I'll have something put away for things.

Ok I'm done with my early morning ramble. Night everyone!

New

So I'm thinking of switching from a blogger account to a wordpress account. I like the feel of wordpress better, and I like the layouts as well. Problem: I have a custom domain name paid for on my google account, linked to this blog. I have absolutely no idea how to transfer the domain. If I even want the same domain. I feel like the nickname "kittymoose" has been for the most part outgrown. I'm trying to form a more professional, grown up image here.

Anyways. I have no idea how I'm going to do this, since I've already paid for a year of domain name-age, and it's so cheap, like $10 per year for the name.

I don't know, I'm just getting that craving for new, new, new. Even though most of the things I have are relatively new, and I shouldn't be wanting more. And I don't have any funds to gain more. There's a matter of phones to pay off before that happens. I'm hoping to have mine paid off within a month, though I have 4 months on the payment plan. The only item that I rrreeeaaalllyyy want is a new winter coat. Even though the one I have is perfectly fine and is less than a year old. I just have a craving for a wool peacoat. Like the Calvin Klein one I found at Burlingtion Coat Factory for $100. I SUPPOSE that will have to wait til christmas.

Ok, this materialistic thing really needs to stop. I don't think I'm ever going to get to where I want to be if I just spend all my time now spending money. It's just that I'm GOOD at spending money, and not so good at earning it. Note to self: work on this immediately.
