So my ethernet broke on my brand new computer. Got my computer up last week only for it to fucking crash! So I got it working again last night and now here I am. On the internets.

SOOOOOO behind on so many things! Need to check in at the fuselage so they know I didnt abandon them. I had avoided it for two weeks prior to computer breakage because I hadnt seen the current episodes. Mostly I was losing interest due to all of the hiatuses so I made an executive decision to rack up on episodes and watch them back to back. I have to say I enjoyed the last part of the season much more that way.

OH and then my phone finally fell to pieces. To anyone who doesnt know Ive been ghetto rigging it for months. Finally kicked the bucket a few weeks ago which pissed me off because I wanted to call everyone at DLA this year! Poo! Well the 130 hours I worked the last two weeks finally paid off in my check so I was able to fix my computer, buy a new phone and get my hair done all in the last two days. (YAY the good part of overtime!)

So finally ill be able to ask everyone how DLA was this year ;).

Also my new phone is a camera phone so you know what that means! Yep I have pics. Warning, these pics may be scary. It was 3 am, i washed most of my make up off and my hair is insane. For those who remember what my hair looked like before its now way darker and shorter. I have 18 pics. Went from having 5 and then my mom went crazy with the camera.

( Now the pics! If you click on them the scariness gets larger. )

BTW those who saw me at DLA Ive lost 27 pounds...is it noticeable?

So is it sad that Im now at the point that my birthday means nothing to me? I woke up trying to be excited and it didnt work out.

Might have been because I had to move my stuff out of my storage into my sisters apt today before it was to late. Yep manual labor takes the love out of bdays.

Question to all the people on my flist who have ordered BPAL. Do they not actually charge your card until it ships? Because payment on my credit card is still lingering and the confirmation page says 'awaiting shipment'.

I bid for my first item on ebay today. Pretty much steered clear before because I tend to get spendy with online orders, but I found something I really wanted that has been discontinued and can only be found on ebay.

And now I have to wait for 4 days to find out if I win. Its kind of stressing me out.

meme ganked from hobbitofkobol.

( Meme list fun )

23 more days until my weeks vacation. I have to hold on for 23 more days...

I swear focusing on my vacation is the only thing getting me through this month.

Since my check comes in two days Ive been looking at BPAL, the site I ran into on my flist thanks to mistressbanshee. Yes, I know im supposed to be saving money to get rid of this albatros around my neck known as 'Credit'. But then I realized that this month, thanks to the way the fridays are falling, I get three checks. And heck since Im making myself miss DLA to fix the money issues, splurging one last check could be a nice parting gift to myself...since Im going to be living like a miser for the next year im sure. I mean im getting my current credit card paid off this month and paying a college application fee so its not all going to waste right?

Anyways, after sifting through the myriad of choices I found myself interested in the set Sin and Salvation. Well, the Seven Deadly Sins to be more specific. The set seems to incorporate various scents; some floral, some cinnamon, some chocolate, some fruity scents...amaretto you name it. I guess if I was going for some of everything this would be the set for me. Gluttony: Thick, sugared and bloated with sweetness. Dark chocolate, vanilla, buttercream, and hops with pralines, hazelnut, toffee and caramel. Just one of the choices and it sounds absolutely delicious.

Bordello under the Love Potions is sounding awesome as well for some reason:

BORDELLO
A decadent, deep perfume, lusty and luxuriant. The scent evokes images of velvet-lined Old West cathouses, tightly laced corsets, rustling petticoats and coquettish snarls of pleasure. Bawdy plum with amaretto, burgundy wine and black currant.

Sounds like something I must have. Im thinking of also getting an Imp's ear of Intrigue to try since mistressbanshee spoke highly of it.

It is very difficult to choose because they all seem wonderful. I guess it wouldnt be irresponsible of me to spend 20 bucks on a 10ml bottle each month to keep moral up would it? ;)

Well today at work was very emotional. About an hour before I was to get off of work, this young girl came in with two big bags. She said "I know you guys dont usually do this, but could I give you my ring in exchange for a 5 dollar phone card so I can get home" and then burst into tears. I swear I started crying to. I told her to keep her ring and then bought her a 5 dollar phone card. She went outside to the phone booths and then I closed out my drawer to go home. About 5 mins before I was to leave this other girl came in. She bought a beer, and though she was nice, she was kind of loopy. Well I then went outside to wait for my ride and spotted both girls around the corner. Turns out the loopy girl was talking to the stranded girl and was offering her to stay at her hotel for the night. Stranded girl was able to get ahold of someone but they wont be able to come until tomorrow, but Im happy that someone offered her a place to stay for the night. I would have, but I live with the family and I doubt they would have allowed it.

I stood out there talking to them and I found out the girl came here for Spring Break with her friend and and her friend's boyfriend. The boyfriend beat the hell out of her friend and stranded girl stood up for her. Then the boyfriend kicked her out of the car and guess what her friend did! Started yelling at her too! She stood up for her friend who was getting knocked around and she turned around and kicked her out 3000 miles away from home...leaving her stranded. What kind of crap is that?

Anyways this situation gets much stranger...the three of us were outside talking and this really nice porsche drove up. He sat there for about 15 mins doing nothing. I walked back in the store to do something and when I came out he was pulled up talking to the girl that was stranded. He then drove back to one of the pumps and sat there again. I went up to her to ask what he wanted and she said he offered to pay her for sex. I was like wtf???? He then drove up to me and the loopy girl and gave us this spiel. He said his girlfriend is out of town and he likes rough sex....and he's willing to pay for it. But he said it so mechanically, like he was reading a script. He gave us his card and it said he rebuilds boats for a living. Whatever, his car was *too* nice for that and he was dressed in some expensive clothes. His hehavior was much like a robot's, he was emotionless. And his eyes... He ended up leaving and I got his license plate number. I went inside and called the cops and said there is a guy offering money for sex and gave them the license and car make information. But see I wouldnt have bothered except that I think he was up to something more sinister then that. He was almost soulless, I swear Im worried some girl will take him up on it and end up dead.

The whole situation was odd, who gives out a business card to someone he wants to solicit for sex? And who says it to three different girls the same exact way like he was reading from a script? And who is so open about it in a location where prostitution does not occur? I swear Im sick to my stomach thinking about it.

He ended up leaving and my ride came. But first I went back inside and bought the girl something to eat and drink. I feel bad that was the only thing I could do but I only had 10 dollars in my account until pay day. And now 7 of it is gone for a phone card and some food. I told her if the guy comes back do *not* get into his car, no matter how desperate you get. Its not worth dying for.

I know it sounds melodramatic but trust me...you had to have spoken to him and looked into his eyes when he was speaking. Gah.

Seriously! Why must the most vile, disgusting, idiotic people ever created migrate here every spring break? I always wondered why people come to North Padre Island for spring break when there are far better places. Our beach is nasty, you have no idea. But ive come to the conclusion that these people come here because they have been ran out of every other tourist/beach town in the US.

Not only are they gross, but on the way home from work I must have seen 12 cars pulled over on the side of the road for DWI. And I live two miles away from work! Im scared to be out on the road right now.

And forget about going to the beach, it's a warzone out there right now. Stabbings, shootings and the usual debachery that occurs when thousands of young 20 somethings from various parts of the country mingle in the same location.

Dear Tourists,

Next time you decide to come visit my city for spring break keep driving...in three more hours you will hit mexico. Go bother them. Lets see you pull your shit over there. There are various jail cells waiting for you there.

Sincerely,
A disgruntled 'townie'

So is this like the standard result for most everyone?

You Are Guinness

You know beer well, and you'll only drink the best beers in the world. Watered down beers disgust you, as do the people who drink them. When you drink, you tend to become a bit of a know it all - especially about subjects you don't know well. But your friends tolerate your drunken ways, because you introduce them to the best beers around.

So my vacation hours were just confirmed...just 30 more days until im off for 12 days. 30 days really cant go by fast enough.

Yeah I went a while without doing any and now im obsessed.

yay?

( meme... some weird formatting on this thing too. )

( OK well Im relieved to find out I would not have been a Nazi. Because we all know meme's/quizes know all. )

So today I was lei'd by the Miller Light girls...

And I realize that joke isnt as funny when the word is actually spelled out hehe. So yeah, we had the Miller Light girls show up at my job today, as part of the spring break insanity over here. At first I was like *oh god* but they were actually pretty cool. Ended up hanging out with them for a couple hours. Got a free hat, lei and keychain so woot. So how much does one get paid to stand around looking hot and cheering on a beer? Alot...damn them! ;) Other then that it was a pretty typical day at work.

Tomorrow will be a pain in the ass, though, because the rumor is Girls Gone Wild is coming by. Maybe I should just call in...

Because everyone has to have a plan...the Zombie Survival Test.

Saw this on kaidysoft's lj

You Are 7 Up

Understated and subtle, people warm up to you slowly. But once they're hooked, they can't imagine going back to anyone else! Your best soda match: Diet Coke Stay away from: Mountain Dew

But *gasp* stay away from Mountain dew? But but..what about Kaidy!

Oh and I saw this over there and thought i would try it:

You Are 80% Open Minded

You are so open minded that your brain may have fallen out! Well, not really. But you may be confused on where you stand. You don't have a judgemental bone in your body, and you're very accepting. You enjoy the best of every life philosophy, even if you sometimes contradict yourself.

So Im sitting here and filling out college applications to go back to school...finally. Im 23 and out from under my parents financial information therefore financial aide is a possibility. Before I took some time off of school I was majoring in Criminal Psychology. But Im really thinking of changing to History, with an emphasis on religious studies (which is funny concidering im an agnostic who is more atheist then not).

But my real question is...how silly would it be for me to be 24 and living in a dorm for the first time? Should I care? It would be great not to have to worry about rent and just stick it into financial aide.

Im just feeling really blah right now, im 23 and soon to be 24 and im only now a junior. I feel so unaccomplished and this is slightly disturbing to me. I think thats why I put off going back to school this year. All part of my 'ignore it and it will go away' tendency I seem to have.

Because I havent done a meme in forever really...
