Had to give them $335 for the first payment. Today. So my credit card got used again. I just got it down to $1100. -_- I had to put a payment to the card through afterwards to offset the next $80 charge from the Cricut. BUT, first payment's in, next payment's not due until September 1st (and I can afford to hold $167 aside from each check for the payments), my registration will NOT be canceled, and I got my first textbook from Amazon today and saved 85% off list price doing so! :D Astronomy. 'Twas this. $22.85 with shipping with all materials intact. Hell yeah.

Need to call the guy about my bed, because I haven't heard from him yet and I bought the bed in June... If it's not coming, I'll get my $140 back, which I won't complain about. I've actually gotten used to sleeping low on two mattresses. I'd keep doing that if it didn't look so ghetto not having a bed.

I want ice cream. Seriously, HUGE craving for some ice cream. And Mom bought ice cream at the house, so we have tons there, and none here. And no cookies, and no brownie mix. I am snackless here.

Started playing Nintendogs again and took it off my trade list on Swaptree. It's all Rani's fault. She said she's going to bring her DS and game in tomorrow so I can trade her items and maybe she can trade me a Dalmatian, haha. I hope I can get a Dalmatian through trading, anyway. I know it's a special unlockable, and it'll probably take forever to unlock because I have to find something on the street and it's totally random when it shows up.

Gah. Seriously. Chocolate. Want. I should've stopped on the way home and gotten some ice cream...

I've spent the entire day in a frustrated mood, brought on by the boss (did I mention he's pompous?) and the guys over in A&QC just deciding they could use one of the conference rooms without checking the schedule. I had to go in there and kick them out. That was this morning, though--it's mainly been the boss annoying me with statements that, to my probably entirely too sensitive ears, sound very much like he's calling me stupid. ("If you can do that", my ass. You'd be lucky if YOU could do it. Then again, that's why you have an assistant, isn't it? Mind you, he was talking about TYPING SOMETHING UP. Part of me is saying I'm being too sensitive about it, the other part is going @#@^&!%$@!*$.)

But, two things made me smile today. One, Nick sent me a text that said, "I know a super-cool girl named CJ!". I texted back that I needed that and gave him a *kiss*. Two, a few minutes ago, I turned on the DS (because I've been bringing it with me lately to keep the dogs fed) to see how the dogs were doing. They were just thirsty, so I put out some water. Shadow (newest dog, black lab) and Caramel went right over to it. Oreo, on the other hand, seemed to hit a barrier whenever she got near the bowl, which caused her to run in a circle about ten times until the dogs moved. Considering that she's the most hyper dog, it actually fit. ^^;

I also drew CJ. Got the pose from a close-up photograph of a little girl I found on the web, and originally I was going to draw the girl, but then it changed midway through. It looks good. Still needs finishing touches, and I'm not sure if I'm going to CG it at this point as it looks fine in pencil (which means maybe CGing a background behind the house)... but it looks good. I like it a lot.

Now, I'm leaving to go get my hair done. Really want to just go home, but I'll feel better once this is done.

Weekend

Took the Secretary 2 test.  Had everything EXCEPT my freaking calculator, and of course there were a group of questions dealing with a chart with tons of figures in it. Most of what I had to do was addition, but I did have to guess on a few questions involving precentages and such. I am not good with those things. There was also a set of questions dealing with figuring out the pay of six employees based on their hours worked for a week. If I'm sticking with the state, there is no way I'll ever have to do that. Ever. There are specific people who do that, and they are not Secretary 2s. Those were Payroll Clerk questions, and I feel cheated.  ^^;

Spent the weekend with Nick. We really just hung out at his place, watched some old Simpsons and Andy Richter Controls the Universe episodes (damnit, Fox, stop killing good shows!). This morning he showed me Flatout, which I think I need to get. XD;; He also showed me Overlord, which I might get also. We actually might take a trip to the seaport to get it there, since they have it for $10 and Steam wants $50. If he has to work in the city for any reason this week, we'll probably meet that day... unless it's Friday, of course. Oh, and he let me play Animal Crossing. I already want to kill Nook, is that bad? =D Sadly, I did not get to see KK. I told Nick we never play Smashville in Brawl, and even if we did, we'd never play when KK's performing. We also talked about Mr. Resetti. We HAD to. Nick said he once pissed Resetti off so much, he rambled for 20 minutes. XD

Ordered my desk! It'll be here Tuesday if the delivery estimate is right. Need to take a trip to Ikea and start planning out how to change my room. The bed is staying, because I just got it. It's the drawers that need to go. There was a unit with storage overhead... we're thinking we could get that, take advantage of all the wall space I'm not using, and my drafting table could then stay pretty much where it is.

Nintendogs rambles... )

I got up at five this morning and washed my hair. It was supposed to be washed while I was at the house, but I never did it. Feeling so much better now. Lack of itchy scalp!

Spent pretty much the whole day sleeping. I only got up at five in the afternoon because I don't want to be up all night. It was a relaxing day, though.

And I've decided I want to redo my room. My bed can stay (although going back to a full would be nice), but I want to get rid of the drawers I have now and get something else, something taller to take advantage of all the space I'm not using. The big dresser I have is pretty short and the drawers in it are small. A trip to Ikea is possible this weekend.

I'm going to take another continuing ed class. I just have to decide what I want to take. XD; The Cooper Union sent me a catalog, and the Book Arts course looks fun. Working with my hands = good. I bought a giant book on paper crafting, too (thank you, Ollie's, for charging $15 less than the listed price!), and it deals with making books and origami and boxes and things like that. It'd be a nice way to dive into it.

Nintendogs is amusing me. I taught Oreo how to wave, and while I was practicing tricks with her, she kept spontaneously waving and rolling over after doing what I told her to do.

... I don't want to go to work. ^^;;; I will say, I needed the two weeks. It was nice to have a vacation that long. I definitely feel a lot more relaxed, and hopefully I don't end up killing it with a negative attitude tomorrow.

I was the first person up, which amuses me a bit. I'm already washed and dressed. I'm not in a rush to get home (although I do get to see Nick today), but I figured I was awake and it made no sense to go back to sleep when I'd probably get woken up ten minutes later. (That single thought kept me in a very shallow sleep for about twenty minutes before I finally got up.)

I can't remember if Mom has tomorrow off, and I dare not ask her. It might jog her memory and remind her that I took the day off. I took it, and I'm not taking it back, but I don't want the lecture. It gives me the opportunity to really work on cleaning my room, anyway. I'm planning on getting a new computer desk. My current one is more than ten years old and shakes when the printer's in use, and I want something shiny and sleek and pretty for my room. I'm a little worried I'll have to move everything around. (I still want that room setup I saw in Ikea. So pretty. Mom said we could redo my room, but... eee. And if I were going to go that far, I'd rather get my own place and furnish the bedroom with that furniture. ^^;)

Speaking of cleaning, Nick offered to help me. I told him he didn't want to do that. XD; He said it might help him start on his place, though. He's been living like a bachelor, and I think he wants to change that a bit. He called last week said he actually went grocery shopping. Being attached is changing both of us. I actually found myself looking at dresses online and liking them, and not minding the thought of wearing some of them. (Stayed away from pink, of course. I draw the line at pink.)

I haven't journaled in a few days. We went to Howe Caverns on Friday. It was awesome. We took a guided tour down to an underground lake and rode a boat out to the end of the conditioned part of the cave. (They're planning on expanding it.) Next time I go, I want to do the adventure tour, which involves crawling and flashlights and getting all muddy. XD Also mined for gemstones and found some really nice pieces of amethyst and quartz, and about sixteen pieces of pyrite. The trip reminded me how much I loved Geology while I was in Brooklyn College. Easily the most fun science I've taken. Pictures of the caverns may follow if I can get some from the parents, because my camera sucks for that sort of thing. I need a better one. Image stabilization, please.

Also, Nintendogs rambles... )

Oh, and Beano came over! We haven't seen him in forever since he got a girlfriend. I missed his randomness. Craig's friend Tim (who needs other friends, damnit) is a whiny crybaby when we're playing Halo, so it was nice to have Beano around to have fun with. Beano doesn't care if he loses.

Haha, Craig just woke up and stared at my bed for a couple seconds until I said something, looked over at me, said "bye-bye", and threw the covers over his head. XDDD

MAKE FUN OF ME IF YOU WISH. Nick already said he would, but he plays Animal Crossing and wouldn't feel right if he did, hehe.

But damn it, my Corgi is adorable. His name's Cookie. I picked him originally because he's a Corgi, but it turns out they have stamina comparable to bigger breeds and kick ass in the appearance category in contests. XD
