So here I am, four days before I move into my new place in the West End. I really am going to miss it here. I hope the new place is as quiet as this one. I have had plenty of time to sit and reflect and meditate here and I hope it will be something I can continue to do in the new home. I also am about 6 days away from bringing kitteh home :) I can't wait to have a little poof ball of energy! She apparently loves to pounce and jump from place to place. CAN'T wait to have her home!
And with all that, I'm broke. About as broke as a girl could be, I don't even think I'm going to be able to go out again til after the 15th. It's all because of the 1700$ or so I have to pay in rent starting today. At some point this weekend, I'm going to drop off my rent check to the old place for the last time and on Tuesday morning I'm dropping the check off at the new place. I can't believe I have this much money in my bank account. I mean, I normally have like 800 bucks but it doesn't usually stay much higher than that. So looking forward to not having to shell out 800 a month in rent/utilities anymore. All I'll be paying is like 435 for rent and then about 150 more in utilites so I'll be able to keep about 300-400 a month to myself. It'll be nice to be able to save money again.
I'll be going back to school in the winter, I tried again this fall, got registered and everything. The only problem was they wanted about 200 bucks when the rent was 1700. I only make about 1550 a month take home, so that was pretty much out of the question. But at least I know I can go right on into Calc 1 without having to take the placement test again. So there's that.
Since the last entry, I've seen a few really kick ass shows. If only Aesthetic Perfection would come back to Richmond, my life would be complete. I <3 Daniel Graves. If he would just marry me life would be awesome. *sigh*
Anyways, I've lost another 10 pounds so woohoo! I can finally fit into that wee little dress my cousin gave me back in 2008. I couldn't fit into it properly then but I can now. I did have to cheat a little, I needed Chris to finish zipping me up in the back but it was barely an inch below the stopper so I take it as a victory :-) Even more so with my chest being larger now than it was then.
I've been out dancing pretty much whenever I can, which is typically four nights out of the six that Fallout is open. It's a great place and two of those nights, almost no one dances so I don't have to worry about running into anyone. That was not the case on Doomsday eve or Doomsday. People everywhere! I don't recall any nights when it was that packed. Not even at Doomsday last year...Definitely good for business, not good for those of us who came to dance.
But I've seen Bella Morte, Bright Flames, Covenant, Slick Idiot, Low on Sanity and of course Uisce Beatha. All were amazing shows, nice to see old friends again. I will say, the sound for Covenant was kinda shitty, but I can't really blame them. I still had a great time, it was totally worth all 20$. I would have been happier if the middle band didn't play at all but hey, what can you do? I don't have control of the lineup, just meant I got to update FB and play a few rounds on words with friends. And drink a beer. But. I'm super stoked for the show on Halloween and the Angelspit show in November. Last time Angelspit was here, I got to dance with the girls after the show :) Hopefully we'll be able to do that again, they were so nice!
I'm looking for an office job, something more 9-5 ish or 8-4, whatever will give me a more set schedule so I can either get a second job or do more with school. I just hate that ABC can't offer me a more set schedule to work around. They are demoting me and taking my old pay away for trying to take a class this year. I haven't told them I didn't actually take it, I just am glad for some days/evenings off.
Well that seems to be all the updates for now, more to come I'm sure. I haven't set up a time for Verizon to come out and set up at the new place, I'll have to go out to Starbucks soon and mooch off their internet again :-P
