I've been unemployed for the past couple weeks. Having enough money to take care of things for a few more months is not spurring me into action as far as the job hunt is concerned. I needed a break, but when does break time end when there's no one to crack the whip? I don't know why I always feel like I need instructions, or some one to tell me what to do. I was catching up on some movies/tv shows I been wanting to see for ages and one of them is based in college which got me brooding. I wish I could have a do-over on that one. I'm sure it's the kind of thing most people think, and technically speaking I could go back to school. Heh there were sooooo many people who were on their second or third time in college when I was going.... never sunk in at the time, that was the time to decide what direction I wanted to put myself in. Instead I didn't steer. I followed the current and got through. I still wouldn't know what I wanted to do though and I am not yet prepared to accept that line of debt. So there isn't much point in entertaining the notion of going back to college. I hear of people my age beginning the career's they spend their life building, and here I sit building nothing. Starting nothing. Then I see my brother. Living day to day in a show up and you might make some money job (tattoo artist), dodging credit debt collectors and having a pretty miserable time of it. We have a lot in common, and I'm just a little terrified that I may be in that same situation in 11 years (that how much older he is)... heh we do have some polar differences, but it's eerie how alike we are in certain ways. I just hope this is one of the ways we differ. I am almost 25 and I have no clear goals for the future. And I can't figure out what to do with myself. I have so many friends who tell me how smart they think I am and here I feel like the biggest dumb-ass that ever was. I can't motivate myself enough to figure things out and instead waste time stewing on it frustrating me even more. Too bad whining isn't a paying career option.
I remember being a little kid and wanting to be a scientist or in movie special effects. I don't ever wanna be famous but acting seems like it would be fun. Maybe I just think that because I've seen so much acting over the past few days. I dunno. Entertainment. Sounds entertaining, but I'm sure it loses it's shine when you discover whats involved. Not to mention hard to get an in. I still find special effects fascinating but a lot is computerized today, and I am no computer whiz, nor do I have the desire to tackle that beastie. More often than not computers irritate me. Well life goes on, time will tell, and all that. Life will happen and hopefully I'll take it somewhere interesting in the next 10 years (like off my mom's couch). Someone asked me my age the other day,it took me a few seconds to remember how old I was. I've never felt so young and so old at the same time. Well really I've never felt old, but for a second... I don't want youth to sneak past me.

OK clearly bored.

Yesterday was my last at Vic's. Welcome back to the world of the unemployed. Bleh. I've taken three on-line quizzes/surveys today I am so clearly bored. ....
.....Woot Andrew got home early and he brought me KFC. Awww. And yay! They gave me a free meal last night. I had the best Ribeye I've ever eaten. I miss quite a few of the people there but not the job it self. It's a shame we can't go get the truck now I could totally have had everything loaded on it while Andy was at work. Oh well 4 or 5 more days. I am almost done packing. I only packed one box today. And since most of my stuff has been stored and organized in crates since I moved in I only have one or two more small boxes to pack. Tomorrow is gonna be an art day. Painting and sketching. I need to do some rough drafts of the tattoo I want to get. My brother is a tattoo artist so I figure I'll take him up on his free tattoo offer and get the gryphon I've been thinking about putting on my back.

Last day

Aug. 25th, 2007 | 01:45 am
mood: blah blah

It is coming up. Today is it. I go in at noon, leave whenever I get cut, eat my double shift meal,  come back at six, and probably get to leave around ten thirty. Then I'll never have to go back to that damn kitchen. Now I just pray I'll never have to work in another. I hate this job and would rather work retail if I have to. Ugh.
Had a going away dinner with some friends from work and Andrew came along as well. We had yummy hibachi. They all insisted i drink, because I don't . So I humored them(only cause they were buying it), and joined in on the sake fest. Ugh. That stuff tastes like straight up rubbing alcohol. I almost wish it had been hotter so it would burn the taste buds off my tongue but then I couldn't have enjoyed my yummy fillet, chicken and rice. I did twelve shots of that shit with them and finally got a buzz. My very first buzz, and likely my very last, because LAME! My resolve has strengthened. Alcohol is gross and stupid and I will never pay money to drink it. A buzz feels interesting but mostly I just wanted to go to sleep. So instead of drinking I could just... sleep.
The gals kept asking if I was drunk yet, because they wanted to take advantage of me. Goobers. I was out after the restaurant so before I left them to their bar hopping I made a last call for smoochies. I wasn't drunk but figured I'd be a sport... experiment as I had never kissed a woman, and I could alway claim I was drunk later. Well dammit not one of them gives me a descent kiss... closed mouth mouth bullshit. Bah I say! And I did say so Sarah kissed me again with tongue... which made us all laugh. And it was too short for me to really appreciate or enjoy. I realize now though I have no reservations about kissing women, but maybe thats only because it doesn't mean anything to me as opposed to it meaning I could enjoy women sexually. I dunno. More thorough kissing would need to take place. Not top on my list of to do's but I'll keep it in mind.
Not looking forward to the process of relocating again. sigh

<h2 align="center"><font face="Verdana"><b>You are The Hermit</b></font></h2>
<p align="center"><font face="Verdana">Prudence, Caution, Deliberation.</font></p>
<p align="center"><font face="Verdana">The Hermit points to all things hidden, such as knowledge and inspiration,hidden enemies. The illumination is from within, and retirement from participation in current events.</font></p>
<p align="center"><font face="Verdana">The Hermit is a card of introspection, analysis and, well, virginity. You do not desire to socialize; the card indicates, instead, a desire for peace and solitude. You&nbsp;prefer&nbsp;to&nbsp;take&nbsp;the&nbsp;time to think, organize, ruminate, take stock. There may be feelings of frustration and discontent but these&nbsp;feelings&nbsp;eventually&nbsp;lead to enlightenment, illumination, clarity. </font></p>
<p align="center"><font face="Verdana">The Hermit represents a wise, inspirational person, friend, teacher, therapist. This a person who can shine a light on things that were previously mysterious and confusing.</font><font face="Verdana"></font></p>

2 Weeks...

Aug. 16th, 2007 | 01:32 am
mood: groggy groggy

... left until I'm on the way back home. Feels weird. Glad to be heading back. Concerned about getting set up and on my feet. Need to get a car. Need to get a job. Need to get a place to stay that is not my mother's house. In that order too cause it's gonna be hard to get the job (and even harder to keep one) with out transportation. I got a whole new set of firsts coming up and it gets me stomach a little knotted. First time purchasing a vehicle on my own, and first time paying insurance on said vehicle. Dad always took care of that in the past. So I'm looking at two new payments each month I've never had to deal with. I just hope I find a good job and fast.
I'm gonna have to be parted with the kitty for a while since she can't be in the same house as my mom's partner =( but I'm hoping only to be there a week or two. I really hope I'm not grossly underestimating the time it will take to find a job and a residence. Hmmmmmmm. I hate moving especially out of state. Such a pain.

Dirty Birdy

Jun. 9th, 2007 | 03:36 pm
mood: surprised surprised

For the last few months I have had nothing in the way of a love life. I think the last time I posted on this subject was when I had a breif thing with Joey at work. Well his dog died. He got really depressed and was not so responsive when I called him. So I gave him some space, and well... he just never called back. We're cool still. It just ended as abruptly as it started. Which I'm not sad about. I like him bt not really that way so much. I was just lonely. 
Well I'm back on the train and I mean that in more ways than just figuratively, cause I went from having no, zero, nada, zip, zilch boyfriends to suddenly having two.
They are a couple that have been together for about five years.  Ron and Chuck. They are both twenty-six, and have a look about them that say soldier/farm boy. They sometimes have an open relationship. Both my type (not to mention the cutest guys I have even been with), Chuck a little more so than Ron. It's weird but very fun. I'm flying a little blind right now, and I'm a little worried I could be playing with fire. On the other hand I am very familiar with fire. Fire is my friend and I am pretty good about dodging burns. But that's the literal fire not the figurative fire.
It's been a week and Ron already seem very attached to me. Which puts me at a slight lack of ease. Chuck works a lot so I don't get to see him as often. I feel kind of nervous about his feelings. I don't want to tread on any toes, or encourage jealousy... not a problem so far but I wonder how long it will stay that way. I wish i had some more control over the situation but I feel a bit locked down at this point and need to let the chips fall. Ron just gave me a ring, which kinda freaks me out a little. Woah horsey. I don't know if he talked to Chuck about it first or just spontaneously decided I should have one. In any case it seems very very early for a ring of any sort. I don't know or have a gauge of feeling for what that ring means to him or is supposed to represent. It a very nice gesture but I'm uncomfortable wearing it, which I should have told him when he gave it to me. I was just knocked off guard and he gave it to me while he was on his way out. I'll keep it in my pocket. Curious. I'm suppossed to see the both of them tonight and make dinner. I guess I'll bring it up then if they are able to make it over. I just... I said boyfriends earlier. I should have said lovers more accurately. They are both sweet guys and I am deeply attracted to them both but I haven't developed the enough of an emotional invesment yet to seriously mean boyfriends. And I hope they aren't really that serious about me yet either. I'm fairly certain Chuck is not... I don't know about Ron. We'll see what happens. In the mean time I'll be enjoying the attention.

Well... I'm Still Alive!

May. 29th, 2007 | 03:03 pm

Hello everyone. Heh. Haven't been here in a long while.Nothing exciting to report. Single. Still have a really stupid job, and very happy I am moving back towards home. I'd like to be closer to family if I am going to have a sucktastic job and no social life. 
I am starting to feel the bubblings of creative energy again. Now if I just didn't have to work I could get something done =) Still it's a happy thing. I want to make stuff again, and I have a few ideas. I just need to get the ball rolling which is the hard part. 
I need to start scheduling out art time into my day. I should be making something now but 'm confused. Too many projects I want to start. So I am instead gessoing skettch book pages as I type. Preparing materials for art counts as something at least I did zilch yesterday, except buying more wire and clasps at Jo- Ann fabrics so I could make more shell jewelry.
 I want to do Nicci's recipe card thing but I can't seem to get started on it  =( 
I hate that! Some unseen force is staying my hand and leading me down the path of get bupkiss done while I debate in my head exactly how I want to do the damn project... it's like la la la oh hey the dead line is in two hours and you haven't really started hehe bye now.
I need to find a suitable paper to start on and all I'm seeing in my pile of stuff is this uber light card stock. I want to use something meatier =p
I tried making some by layering card stock and mulberyy paper with gesso we shall se if it works when it dries. Not looking to good so far.
