So I was doing pretty good, posting pretty regularly there for a while. However, I kinda stopped blogging due to other things, mostly the excessive work that I had to deal with over the holidays. It's not like I was working more hours, but that I had to deal with so much more after hours. But I have made it through another X-mas holiday season at the liquor store and I'm going to step a bit out of my element to try and get back into blogging. I'm going to start doing the dreaded 30-day challenge thing. So here I go.
Day 1 - Your current relationship, or how single life is
Well, my current relationship was the same as it was last time I was here, but you know...it's been happening for 10 months now. So pretty good run so far, the boy and I fit pretty darn good. We like some of the same movies and music genres and we both love wrestling. I don't remember if I posted about it before but he took me to a Chikara match over my birthday weekend :) It was pretty sweet, nice to see it up close and to meet some of the guys afterwards. We recently attended a show at The Camel (Evan Dando) and overall it was good. I kinda say that lightly as I really wanted to either punch someone or put something sharp through my ear drums during the opening set. The lady had a wonderful sound and her guitar work was great but...lyrically, it made me want to vomit. Sean enjoyed her way more than I do and that's where we differ...There's gotta be more to a female singer than a good sound and a pretty face. There's got to be some sort of lyrical depth to her work for me to take her seriously and she wasn't going for a "Weird Al"/Frank Zappa feel so in my book she fell short. Lots of potential though. Anyways, he and I go out about 3 or 4 times a week, we still cook dinner together a bunch and, well he just compliments me so much...wait...not that he gives me compliments (he does, but that's not what I mean) but that he completes me...he's patient and level-headed where I can be super impatient and hot-headed...that sort of thing.

Back Again
So it seems I only use this when I don't have a proper internet connection at home and I only have access to it via Panera, Starbucks or my phone...and seeing as how my phone plan has changed and I no longer have unlimited data, I have had to resort to sitting awhile in Starbucks to download the lastest music so I can have something new to listen to at work and at home. I have started to watch the larger part of my collection of Dr Who on my desktop, all Tom Baker, all the time :)
I broke off things with Frankie after finding out that I was right and that I should have just trusted my instincts and dropped his ass in like October. I didn't get a chance to test my theory until about January and it really came to a head in early February. He still owes me about 400$ total, more so now than he did before because of his own idiocy. But that's a post for another day.
I'm dating a new guy, much better than the last in pretty much every way imaginable. He's funny, truthful, handsome, and he treats me like an equal. It's amazing :) I haven't been this happy truly in a long time. Not since I was single and in high school if I am really honest about it. I'm with someone who doesn't find my weird ways offputting and he puts up with my horrible puns. He's got a great group of friends and I've been introduced to all of them as "his girlfriend" without prompting :-P He's okay with me coming over to cook dinners, to watch wrestling and to just hang out. It's nice, we've been to bars, been to shows, been to the river, been to a ball game, been to the comedy club and we've been bowling...in short, he's taken me to more places than all my previous boyfriends have done in the span of like 3.5 months...and I'm not sure how I should feel about that. I mean, I feel special that he will take the time to take me places and include me on trips and stuff. And my cat likes him.
I have a new roommate too, an old friend from high school. We reconnected last GWAR-B-Q and we've been in touch ever since. She's pretty sweet, she reminds me of me and honestly is probably the only person I could see myself living with at this point. We hang out, we do shit together as a family unit...it's kinda like the awesome feeling I got when living with Sarah, only this one doesn't sell or do drugs. Well, she smokes, but I don't count it since cigarettes aren't illegal :-P
Everything seems to be going well at home and at work as well. I'm almost having a decent time talking with and visiting my parents almost weekly, which if you were paying attention didn't really happen all that often in the past. I'd only come round after mom begged me to visit and I'd only stay for about an hour each time, even if it had been 6 months in between visits. It's much easier now that we are on the same ground about certain things and decisions I've been making lately. They're happy I'm not with Frankie anymore and that I made the decision to leave him and move out early, enough so that they helped me pay off some bills in exchange for repayment for a few months. It's not so bad of an arrangement, I'm much better off where I am now. Much happier and I'm not paying for myself and someone else too. I think this might be it for this post, I've run out of things to say without going too far into everything.

WTF people?
I see a lot of people, I mean *a lot* of people spewing hate and bigotry over all that has happened over the past few weeks. It's been growing and growing over the last four years but it's gotten to a horrible point with the 'shutdown'. I just viewed this post : http://www.eutimes.net/2013/10/pentagon-warns-to-expect-radical-change-in-us-government-soon/. It was followed shortly by a bunch of other posts attacking Obama and all he's done to ruin the government. Well, honestly I think it's ridiculous as he's not in the Senate or the House any longer and the shutdown came about because Congress, which is made up of both the Senate and the House of Representatives, would not agree on a spending budget for the country. Obama didn't veto a budget like Clinton did 17 years ago. He really isn't the one to blame, or at least not completely. People seem to like to point the finger at him more than the people who are truly responsible just because he's either the president or because he's black (or Muslim, depending on who you ask).
Why must we hate all the time? Seems like we always have a group of people to hate: Commies, Nazis, the French, the Brits, now Arabs and Muslims...at one point we hated the Japanese too. I guess we'll have to hate on the Canadians once we get over our hate for Arabs and Muslims. Maybe we'll also hate Brazil too, especially after the World Cup. Maybe our country is just based on hate and maybe that's why it's falling apart. It takes far too much energy to hate than it does to live peacefully and live and let live. Oh shit, does that sound too much like Socialism? I can never tell these days as everything that used to just be normal or sound good is now either Socialist or anti-American.
There's a girl at my work who is having severe difficulty grasping how the world really works. I guess it ended up happening at first when she got divorced. Apparently when she was growing up, the world worked like this: graduate high school, get a husband who'll take care of you, have kids, retire at 65 and live happily ever after. No one prepared her for the divorce that would happen, or her losing her job at AT&T that she had for 15 years. No one prepared her for having to sell her house and start looking for apartments. No one prepared her for the loss of her other job she got when she was trying to get back on her feet again when some guy decided to stalk her and when she went to HR, she was fired for being a nuisance. She wasn't prepared to deal with life as it really is rather than the fairy tale she bought into when she was young and didn't know any better. It's really sad to hear her sometimes. She rants about how she's against Obamacare and all the things he's done, but yet she empathizes with the homeless guy on the corner. She seems to think they can all be saved and given a chance to redeem themselves. If that were the case it'd be great. But a bunch of the homeless people we have in the city have some sort of mental issue that makes them unaware that their behaviors are not socially acceptable and lack the ability to change and fix that so they can actually hold down a job. There are plenty of homeless people who are homeless simply so they don't have to answer to anyone, they don't have to live on anyone else's schedule but their own. I know so, I've stopped and talked to many of them since I too at one point was homeless. I'd see them at Food Not Bombs and sometimes I was the girl handing out the food, sometimes in the line to get it. In order for the homeless peoples to not be homeless any more, they need support and motivation. They have to have a want to change the way they live and once they have that need, there needs to be something in place to help them out. Do you know how hard it is to apply for jobs when you don't have an address or a phone number? Do you know how hard it is to go to an interview in ragged clothes because it's all you own at the moment? Do you know that most places will turn you away if you have facial hair or your hair is all matted since you don't have ready access to a shower and a razor? Most of the republicans are wont to limit the funding for such places that would help those folks out, but yet here's this extreme tea party gal who wants to give the poor guy a chance. She doesn't like the idea of food stamps either, but honestly if she needs em, I'm sure she'd be first in line to sign up for them.
There definitely is something broken about this country and honestly I think it stems from the greed and the hate that this country is based on. I'm not all about everyone sharing the wealth equally, nor am I for letting people outright starve. But I'm all for doing what you chose to do as long as you let me chose to do what I want to do as well, while not criticizing my decision to do it. I just want that to be a universal thing; live and let live. If you want to be a fat person with diabetes, fine, be a fat person with diabetes. If you want to be rich and live in a mansion, fine, go to school, study hard and meet the right people. If you want to be a housewife, fine, take a few cooking classes and possibly learn to knit and sew and do some household repairs. If you want to be hippie, be a hippie. If you want to just get by, fine, do what you have to to get by. If you want to be homeless and just live life on a whim, by all means do it. I won't judge you for it.

Strange
My cat has been acting strange as of late. She's been running around mewing at the ceiling and generally on edge since last week. I'm not sure what is up but it's driving me crazy. I wish I knew if this was just normal cat behavior or if this means my house has ghosts or something. Probably not ghosts, but maybe. It's always freezing in my room and the living room and she freaks out most in those rooms. I never really paid much attention to it before now but she's started to freak out more often and for longer periods of time. Hopefully she'll snap out of this funk pretty soon, at least by the time we move to the new place.

Weekend
This was the first actual weekend I worked at my store. I closed Thursday and Friday and Saturday. SO MANY LICENSEE ORDERS! And the best part was I got to see Chad and I got a bunch of love :)
I have been trying a bunch of new foods on the hot bar at Ellwood Thompson's. I had this seitan dish that had rosemary in it and boy was it ever tasty! I love their "Buffalo" bites (made of tofu). Their curried chicken was yummy as well and so was their beef brisket. Yeah, I know, I mix my vegan food with my manly meat diet. It's all part of my own diet: if it tastes good, I'll eat it. So I also ate a shit ton of fruit and veggies the past three days. Today was my cheat day and I got burgers for Frankie and myself from Carytown Burgers and Fries. So damn good, but totally not healthy for ya. Next time I'm going to get a chicken breast "burger" instead of one with ground beef. At least it seems like the more healthy of the two options. I could also get it as a portabella burger, but then I don't know how well the rest of the toppings will go with it.
Does listening to black metal ever make any of you want to eat cookies? Cause it totally makes me hungry for cookies. It might just be because every singer I hear makes me think of Cookie Monster. Funny enough, we were listening to Austrian Death Machine earlier. If you don't get it, I'll tell you later, no time! Get to the choppa!
We tried to watch Hellraiser this weekend. Three times. The first time was foiled by a sleepy boyfriend. The second was foiled by a sleepy me. The third time I thought we were going to actually get to watch it but then we realized the DVD package I got had only 3-6 and three other extra movies. So I still haven't seen Hellraiser. I'm sorry Ty, I'm working on it! I purchased a DVD of 1 and 2 on Amazon so I'll try for it next weekend I guess.
Oh and I have to call about four people tomorrow morning in regards to apartments. I hope I can get the one on Ellwood, just because it's cheap, they allow cats and I know the area. And it's like 6 blocks from work so I wouldn't have to even use my car. I could buy a street bike and ride it over to Frankie's if I need to. And it's within walking distance to Ellwood Thompson's AND Martins AND Pantera Bread so hooray!
Frankie has coerced me into agreeing to watch Caddyshack with him tomorrow night. I have never seen it and I honestly don't want to see it, but he seems determined to get me acquainted with it. Oh well, I'm making him watch the Worst Horror Movie Ever. Basically it's a horrible movie and it really fails as both a porno and a horror flick. It took me three attempts to make it through the whole thing.
That seems to be about it, more when either I get an interesting thought or if something explodes near me. I'm not sure which will happen first, but rest assured you'll know about it.
Oh and Xanga is dying. The die-hard Xangans are trying to help them raise 60,000$ by June 15th but I doubt they'll get there.

So yeah
You know how I said my phone screen cracked? It's not coming apart and I'm finding little plastic shards all in my fingers and stuff. It's not something I'm real thrilled about, but it means I'm getting a new phone in about a week. At least it still sorta works. The touchscreen is just iffy that's all.
I also get my insurance card in the mail after the 1st so I can go to the doc and get my asthma meds that I've been needing since forever ago. That means once I get my meds, I have no excuse to not exercise :) And I can keep up with Frankie more when we go out and about.
Went to Maymont today after Frankie got more added to his tattoo. It looks amazing, I can't wait to get my own in the fall. I'm not sure exactly what I'm going to get but I'm not trying to get anything quite as involved as his, at least not for my first. Probably gonna get a small one, probably gonna have it on my back, just to get a decent feel for it.
Oh and Frankie got the job with ABC. He'll find out which store he will be working at sometime this week. I'm glad he's going to get a better paying job with more normal hours so we can maybe do something together and I might be able to get some sleep for a change :-P
Anyways, I gotta get some sleep, I have to pick up Frankie at 5am. Oh how long my day will be tomorrow.

Cracked
Yup. That's right. As soon as I post I downloaded the app to my phone, it falls off my lap right onto the pavement and now the scream is cracked all to hell. Oh well, I never really liked this phone anyway. *sigh* I guess I have to call the insurance people in the morning. And pay 100$ for a new phone. Goldstar, just what I wanted to do. Not.
Frankie was on Tommy's radio show tonight and I swear, he's the very best boyfriend ever. If you don't believe me, download and listen to this http://radio4all.net/index.php/program/68585 .
Oh and first thing in the mornin.g, I have to figure out how to use western union to send dad some money. *sigh* it never ends.
But that's about all I got, waiting for Frankie to get here so I can crash. Night everyone!
