Whoooo, time flies. So, where to start. My apartment fell through because the person living in it decided to stay, so the office people scrambled to find me a place with one of their other complexes, and I'm now getting an apartment in the same place Melanie is living now. Strangely, I think I like the new place better, and they're letting me have it for the price we agreed on for the first place, which is $499 a month. Which is good, because this second place rents their one-bedrooms for $565 a month. Whoohoo!

So... Now I'm supposed to be moving in around August 6. Yay! And when I get moved in, I'll be taking care of Peaches for a few days while Mel's in Costa Rica. For the first part of her trip, I'll have to leave Peaches alone... :( and just go check on her periodically, because Charlie says kitty doesn't take well to strange cats. Oh well.

Still no job, but there is a possibility in a company run by one of my dad's friends. So we'll see where that goes. And I'll be starting classes again on the 28th, I think. Yay! I'm ready for my friends to be back. And Ellie will be here till September, so yay! again. And then hopefully, I'll get to go visit her in Scotland later.

On another note, Charlie and I seem to lost almost all of his Playstation games. Yikes. They must be around somewhere, but the places he remembers them being, they aren't there, and he didn't find them in his apartment. Sooo.... That would suck majorly. I hope we find them eventually...

Oh! And I finally updated my about page. Finally.

We got Charlie moved into his apartment on Saturday. I think he's going to be here at home the rest of this week and then take his stuff from here and go on up. I'm not sure when he starts school or if he's gonna be here till then, soooo.... Eh. Whatever.

I have to actually get out of the house tomorrow, by 8:30. I have a doctor's appointment, yay. And then I need to call the apartment complex and talk to my person, 'cause I need to find out some stuff. I finally found out which apartment I'm in, but I haven't actually seen it yet or anything, so I don't know what floor it's on, or if it faces the street or the lake or whatever. I've got to remember to get my utilities and stuff set up... And finally, I'm almost done with my furniture. I suggested that instead of buying a new bed to take with me, that I just take my old one and they can buy a futon or a daybed or something to put in my room at home. They're not allowed to clean out my room yet... :) But this is a start, and I'll still have somewhere to sleep when I come home. And then all that's left to buy are the sofa, end tables, and lamps. Furniture-wise, anyway. Who knows about the rest of the random crap I'll need. I should start a list.

Still no job. Sigh. If I don't hear back from the jewelry store, like, this week, I'm gonna say screw them. I applied a month or two ago for a fall position, since the girls working there now are in high school and won't be able to work in the fall, and as of last Friday, no one had even looked at my application. I need to know now whether I can stop looking for a job, dammit. People piss me off sometimes. Okay, a lot of times. Bite me.

Okay... Going now. Slept all day, so I'll probably be up all night, but.... Oh well.

I'm anxious and bitter and angry. And goddamnit, I can't sleep!

Yay, Charlie's finally home. Of course, this means I'll probably lose my wonderful, loving kitty, but oh well... Maybe he'll still be nice to me now that his daddy's back. :)

I got to talk to Becca this afternoon. It feels like it's been forever. But that was very nice. And I finally got her new cell phone number, too. And she's moving to Auburn in just a few weeks now, so maybe then she'll be able to visit more. :) Wahoo!

I cleaned up my room last night. It's sooo much better. Now I just need to organize all my papers into my new file folders and I should be done. I'm a freak, aren't I?

Hmm.

Oh, I almost forgot. Send good thoughts to Melanie, she's having a rough summer. The latest is the total wrecking of her car. Eep.

Okay. So. No job at Ruby Tuesday. I probably could've gotten hired, but I decided I wasn't desperate enough to try waitressing yet. I'm pretty sure I would hate it. And that means I'd either keep working at it and be miserable (thereby making everyone around me miserable) or I would quit right away, which would make me look bad. So. I figured quitting before I got hired was the best way to go. Back to the never-ending job search.

I need to go by the jewelry store on Mulberry and ask the owner if I can expect some work there in the fall, since her employees are still in high school and will be returning there probably sometime next month. If I can count on that job for the fall, then I'll be okay and I'll just stop worrying about getting one for now. But if not, I'm planning to ask my previous employers at the doctor's office if they might have any work for me, or if they know of any offices in the hospital that might need someone. I have an appointment with them on Monday, so I figured I'd ask when I go in. Wish me luck.

On a happier note, I got to see Robin last week. She, John, Trey, and I went out to dinner and to the mall for a while and just generally had a good time. :) And then the group of us, minus Trey, went to see Pirates of the Caribbean at the Rave. And there was much rejoicing.

I only have about two weeks before I move into my apartment, and I haven't even talked to them about which unit I'll be in. Nor have I finished getting my furniture, called to get my utilities turned on, or started packing. Or thinking about packing. Eep.

And if I see Brannon again, she's gonna hurt me for not writing her at all in New York. Oopsie.

Wahoo! I get to see my Robin today! ^_^

I have a second interview at Ruby Tuesday this afternoon. Yikes. I don't like interviews. I get nervous. And I don't get to do them a lot. But damn, if I can't get hired as a waitress, I think I'm gonna start having some serious self-esteem issues. Or... just more of them. Yeah.

So I have two more applications to turn in tomorrow. Yay!

I absolutely adore Bernadette Peters (the redhead in front), but why on earth would she choose to do some cheesy tv movie called Prince Charming? Ick.

I'm going out job-hunting again today. Whoo. It's truly impossible to find work in this town right now.

I think I'm getting hooked on NYPD Blue now. Like I need something else to watch during the day.

And may I say how truly heartwarming it is when your father calls you pathetic.

Well. Finally, I have my Audrey Hepburn site back up. I kept putting it off because I wanted to redesign it, but I never could come up with anything I was really happy with. So, since I like this one so much, I just reused it. Go look. :)

Wahoo! No more summer school for me. It's all done. Now I can sleep. ^_^

And on a completely different note, I think this is kind of ridiculous. Sure, the guy's a wife beater and probably a bastard, but they gave him life for spitting in an officer's face? What the hell is that?

Here's a question. Why the hell would you swim in a place where you know there are alligators?

Idiots.
