It's been a long time since I've posted. I don't really get on livejournal anymore or really even bother with it. In fact, I'm hardly ever on the computer anymore except at work. Just don't really find the time to do anything fun or recreational on it anymore. So anyway, I thought I'd at least update everyone on what's going on.
So I've decided to go back to school. I figured it was about time that I get in gear and start working toward a degree. I'm gonna go for an Associates' in Theater Arts and take classes that specifically focus on acting. I've started paying tuition and I'm gonna start out with an Eng 101 class this summer and then follow it with Psych 101 and Eng 102 in the fall. As for Spring, I'll probably take a math class and maybe some sort of communications class. I'm hoping to take 2 classes per semester and one class every summer to work a little faster toward my goal. I've applied for financial aid as well which should help a lot if it gets approved.
Money issues have been bringing me down a lot lately but they seem to be getting better now that Chris has a job. I got paid last night and paid all the bills I needed to (besides rent which isn't until the end of the month) and paid a bit toward school. I plan on paying the rest of my previous car loan off today after work (a whopping $43 after paying $1000 out of pocket since November) and then buying a couple of movies.
I've been having a lot of stomach problems. I think mostly from stress from money, and a change in my diet. I was eating pretty unhealthily before but I've started to eat less at meal times and a little more throughout the day. I usually only have rice and miso soup for dinner. It's probably my body trying to detoxify itself from all the junk I've been eating the last year and a half. Which is good, but bad at the same time. I hate having stomach problems every day.
Work is going okay but I've had some disagreements with a few coworkers lately. I'm not sure how to resolve these issues but I'm getting sick of dealing with the stress from that as well. It's something completely unnecessary I really don't need to deal with on top of everything else. Hopefully something will happen soon that will remove that stress.
So school starts June 2nd and I'll hopefully be paying my bills off soon. Things with Chris have been up and down lately but I think now that he has a job and we have some time to ourselves (and can't constantly argue now =p) we'll be okay. We saw each other last night for about an hour and that was really good. Almost let myself forget how much I loved him =p
Anywho, I've got to take care of my stomach ache now and get to work. I'll probably continue to update my LJ as frequently as I am now (ie, never). If anyone ever wants to do anything, just text me or leave me a comment. I'll respond.
See ya later, peoples.

Lots of different things happening lately. After 5 1/2 months of living with him, one of my best friends Dan from good ol' Norway left last Thursday, back to his frigid homeland :p
It was a good experience, getting to know him in person, creating millions of inside jokes with him, Chris, Andrew and our other friend Dan (Slackett). We had a few bad spells here and there where we'd both be upset at each other over something, but in the end it wasn't important and we realized that the experience was a good one. I'm glad that he and Chris were able to become such good friends as well. I thought they'd never get along in the beginning :p
It was a tearful goodbye, but I know it won't be the last time we see each other. Maybe in a few years we can make a trip up to Norway. That would be crazy. And it wouldn't be in the winter. XD
Kira moved in the day Dan moved out and it's been sort of weird at the apartment. It's been three days since she's been with us but she hasn't really BEEN with us. She stayed over with her parents one night and also at her friend's another night. She's vowing to stay home this weekend though to do some cleaning and unpacking and so we can get some good roommate bonding in XD I'm sure she'll make a great roommate and will definitely help around the apartment.
Besides everything else, work is going good and Smash Brothers Brawl comes out in a week. Chris wants to have a party soon, and hopefully we can get away with that. We've also been watching Heroes nonstop at home... we borrowed Season 1 from Slackett a couple months back but never bothered to watch it until a couple days ago, when our friend Andrew practically forced us to. It's really good so far but I'm disappointed to hear that Season 2 pretty much flopped because of the Writers Strike. I'm hearing that Season 3 should be good though and at this point we're three episodes away from the conclusion of Season 1. After our venture into Heroes I may wanna try out Lost. That seems like an interesting show too.
Anywho, everyone have fun, whoever still reads this, and stay safe.

So I'm bored. Lots of stuff going on lately. I was mildly injured from the recent car crash (the pains were beginning to set in) and one morning I woke up in the worst pain I've felt in a very long time. It pained me to breathe in; I would feel sharp stinging and pulling pain all throughout my back and shoulders. I went to a chiropractor a few days ago and then saw Chris's mom (who is a massage therapist)for a great massage, and now I go back to the chiropractor today. Also seeing a regular doctor tomorrow to make sure there aren't any long term damages. Right now my back isn't in the best shape but hopefully after a few chiropractic and massage sessions things will be well.
Company holiday party is this Saturday and I need to desperately find a dress that looks decent on me. I think I've found a good one online that I'll pick up today if I can.
Other than that things are good. We put up the Christmas tree and Sushi's having lots of fun with Christmas-time stuff.
More updates to come, maybe. :p

So, a lot has happened over the last few weeks. Me and Chris moved in together, my car got completely wrecked in a nasty accident (we're all okay), and life otherwise has been okay. I've got quite a bit of money in my checking account right now and plan on putting about $1500 down on a brand new '08 Toyota Yaris Liftback. It's a cute little car I can see myself driving and it looks very spacious despite being such a small car. I think I'm gonna try and talk the people down on the price a bit to the regular MSRP price plus ABS and side-airbags power package. So probably looking at $14k totally. I think I can manage it... payments will be hard at first, but it'll get better.
Short but sweet update. I'm going to bed so i can buy a car tomorrow! Yay!

Exactly two more weeks until me and Chris move to our brand new apartment. Things are getting sort of stressful for me because of the money-managing and such, but I think if I don't overspend everything should be okay.
I had a really good 20th birthday. I mostly got kitchen/assorted apartment stuff from my family and then some really good stuff from Chris. =) He got me some comic books I've been wanting, the Anne Rice Vampire Chronicles books (Interview with a Vampire, The Vampire Lestat, Queen of the Damned and Tale of the Body Thief), a cute couple of things here and there, and also The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass with the special edition strategy guide (I try to collect the special edition ones). I'm really loving the game so far, and I'm really really really glad Chris got it for me. One of the best birthday presents I've gotten in a while =)
I'm heading over to his place tonight so his mom can give me a massage for my birthday (she's a massage therapist), have dinner with his family, and then watch The Office. I like Thursday nights as of late because they're a lot more eventful and I get to spend some good quality time with Chris =) <3
I went and got my nails done for my birthday present to myself yesterday and got French tips done on them. My mom told me I shouldn't have gotten fake nails when I showed her but she didn't realize they were my real nails, just prettied up =p. I'm thinking sometime soon I may go get my hair trimmed again (trying to let it grow out again), and my eyebrows plucked by the same guy who did them last time... they turned out really good then.
Right now I'm sitting at work falling asleep, wishing it were 3:30 already so that I can go get a massage and then possibly nap until dinner with Chris. Tomorrow will be a fairly exciting day as well; me and Dan are gonna go shopping around for some stuff (I'll be finishing my birthday shopping for Chrissy for the big 21st b-day ^_^) and we may just run a few errands also. Hopefully I won't sleep in too late.. I've been doing that a lot lately.
Anyway, I've got the 18th requested off for moving and we've more or less got everything we need except for like, toilet paper, soap, food, etc, stuff like that. Got an hour and a half left of work and I'm wanting to get my massage/sleep/play Zelda/see Chris/sleep/watch The Office/sleep/and see Chris. XD
Oh, and as a side note, me and Becca at work got our co-worker Terri into Gackt... it's really kinda funny because she's wanting to buy all his CDs now and thinks he's hot XD

Things are more or less going pretty good lately. Me and Chris signed a lease the other day for a very very nice apartment complex and got approved after a good credit check. We're moving in October 18th to the brand new apartments on Higley/Ray. I'm really surprised we actually got a good credit check and got out security deposit waived... neither of us have ever rented before (officially). It'll be exciting though; the first time I'll be out on my own.
Tonight a couple friends from work are throwing a birthday party for me at their apartment and I'm going over for some video games and maybe some Appletinis. Never had one of those before. It'll be lots of fun though... most of my friends from QA and Dan and Chris as well.
Dan's been here a little over a week now... things are real fun and going good. I've been playing a lot of Resident Evil 4 lately and he's been watching and making jokes. We've done a few interesting things like going out to dinner and seeing movies, but nothing too exciting yet like the zoo or something. XD
Steph had her surgery the day Dan came out too and she's been nothing but problematic with me. She actually threatened to kick me out on my birthday because I took blankets from the living room so Dan could sleep on them instead of the floor. It's really ridiculous around here and I'm getting sick of how every year about a week before my birthday, someone always has to start treating me like crap. Oh well, hopefully no more of that as soon as I move out.
Tonight though will be fun and I think I'll just kind of try to relax. Good-bye, teenaged years!

There are many in life who very desperately need to be humbled.
Anywho, been spending tons and tons of time with my two best friends in the world, getting pampered and spending quality quality time with Chrissy watching The Office. =) That has quickly grown to be one of my favorite shows ever. Usually I'm not one for sitcoms/actual TV shows, but this one is absolutely hilarious. I can relate to it a lot more as I work/have previously worked in a similar office situation.
I bought some presents for Chris for his birthday already... just three more weeks for him! Two more weeks for me and I'll no longer be a teenager. Kinda strange. I hope he likes the gifts <3 Of course I'll be doing more shopping for him in the near future.
Speaking of birthdays, I treated Jessica to a manicure and pedicure today for her birthday next Friday. That should be loads of fun, getting to hang out with the old crowd again, and throwing Dan in the mix as well. Dan'll be here on Wednesday at 4 PM... I'll have that day as well as Thursday off as my sister is finally getting her gastric bypass surgery on Wednesday. I'll have to kind of keep the house under control for a bit with watching my nephew and running my mom back and forth from the house to the hospital in Scottsdale.. I think she should be staying a couple nights at the hospital with Steph to ensure everything'll be okay.
My birthday's in two weeks and I have no idea what I want. The company of my closest friends is really the only thing I could ask for at this point... maybe going out for dinner and seeing a movie with Chris, Dan, Kira, perhaps others if they're interested. Other than that I really can't think of anything else I want. So far all I'd like is the complete collection of the Vampire Chronicles books by Anne Rice, a featherbed cover to put over my mattress (uncomfortable spring death trap), a slim PS2 (silver, preferably), and maybe a video game or two. I've been seriously thinking about what I'd like and I can't think of a single thing aside from the aforementioned. I've more or less left it up to my family to attempt to get me some of the aforementioned.
In all honesty, I really wouldn't mind some new clothes, getting my ears pierced a second time, or getting another tattoo. Something daring would be exciting and I'd love it, but money is an issue as well. Anything Zelda would work for me (except what I already have), or even some little things here and there from Atomic Comics. I wish I was more interested in things like manga.. I'd be easier to shop for.
Anywho, just a couple months now before me and Chris move out and I'm extremely excited. I'm getting guilt from my sister saying that once I leave she'll fail financially, but it's not exactly my responsibilty to stick around until I'm 30 or 40. I don't mind helping my sister out, but I'd like to live out on my own finally and get a feel for the world. I know I'm ready for it and I don't think I'll fail, much to my mom's insistance that I will.
I should get to bed now. It's 2:30 AM and I have to wake up at 5:30 AM to take a shower and get ready for work. Thanks for reading, as always.

Almost 6 hours after the book's release and I'm already halfway through the book. Yay for speed reading.

So I did a crazy thing today and got a tattoo.
Pictures may come when it's not so bloody or swollen.

| Subject: | I remember... |

I remember a time, some years ago now, where I used to be depressed constantly. I would usually spend the majority of my time writing in this very same livejournal account to pass the time. It almost seemed like it was someone who would listen and occasionally talk back (through the comments some friends would leave). After completely getting over a pretty bad relationship, I discovered that there was more to life than sitting on the computer all of the time and hoping that someone would value even the most insignificant thought in my head. Whatever I wrote down seemed important to me, but it really wasn't. Just a feeble attempt at clawing my way out of oblivion.
To those people who used to put me down, even when I thought they were friends, I laugh now. I know I've grown up more than most people I know over the last three years. I've got a very good job that I know I'm good at, and I'm only looking to move up from here. I've made a lot of friends by just being myself and doing a variety of good things for other people whether they be small or big. I have been paid off with good karma here and there, like getting lucky with making new friends, my job, or just being able to finally get rid of the debt that's been building up for me since I turned 18. Things are really turning around.
This weekend I plan on getting a tattoo... It's going to be the Twilight Princess Triforce above my right ankle, and below that it will say "Courage" in Hylian. Zelda's always been one of my favorite game series, mainly because I grew up on them and would play them when I had no friends. I remember after Kira had moved away when I was in 4th grade, I started playing Ocarina of Time to sort of fill the void of not having someone be there. Since 4th grade, I've played that game more than any other and have always held a close fondness for it and any of its predecessors. After my relationship ended with Tyler and I found myself not having any friends again, I started playing Wind Waker and got lost in that. Same goes for Majora's Mask, and more recently some of the older Zelda games, and not to mention one of the greatest thus far: Twilight Princess.
I think I've overcome a lot in my life so I'm happy with my decision on the word "Courage" under the Triforce. I was always told by one of my closest and best friends, whom unfortunately I've only had the pleasure of meeting once (but that will change soon), that I was a strong-willed person and I could survive anything. One thing he stressed on me was to "Stay Tough". Not only is "Courage" the best word to associate with Link himself, I think it's a good word to link back to me as well.
Anyway, I think that's enough out of me for now. Things are going to be changing a lot more come these next few months... Things will definitely continue on the good path they're on now. I will still continue to periodically update this journal, but as far as my dependency for it goes, I think I'll do just fine without checking it every other day.

It's my Sushi Kitty!!!!!!
She's so sleepy. And loves sleeping on my desk.

Just a little update on my kitty... took her to the vet today, found out she has a bacterial infection in her digestive tract. Was able to get her vaccinated today, and also tested her blood for FIV (feline AIDs) and lukemia... got the results of those today as well and they came out negative, so she's healthy in that sense.
I was given four different medications by the doctor to give to my poor Sushi... I've had to spend all day with her making sure she got her medicine on time, and that she was being played with and that she was feeling okay. Her uh, bowel movements are back to normal to say the least, and she's feeling a bit better I can tell. She's just extremely exhausted from all the excitement today.
Anywho, tomorrow I need to wake up fairly early to start the babysitting process again.. make sure she gets her medicines on time and make sure she gets lots of cuddlings and attention.
Also, on a lighter note, saw Spider-Man 3 Thursday night and loved it! A few people I know hated it but I thought it was awesome. Much better than X3. Peter Parker was perhaps the geekiest he's ever been in this movie. But good nonetheless.
Happy Cinco de Mayo to all you people out there. Watch your tequila. Don't get too drunk. And be sure to aim for the pinata instead of your friend's head/lighting fixture/chandelier/etc.
G'night everyone!

Things are going good.. unfortunately I got a flat tire! Oh Noes! Chris's step-dad and mom helped me change it to the spare this evening.
Also came home and gave little Sushi a bath. It was so adorable! She was such a good kitty... didn't try to escape.. Just sat there and let me wash her. Had to give her a bath 'cause she's been sick lately and had some uhh, poop stuck on her fur in the back. Also cleaned my room tonight.
And yay for being paid! But nay for having to pay rent and car payment and buy new tires. =(
I'm going to now lay in bed, watch some TV, and cuddle with my Sophie and my Sushi.

So yes... when am I not sick anymore?
Who knows. I hate being sick so much. Can't get over this...
Anyway, I'm going to bed now for I have a phone appointment with a loan officer tomorrow to help me manage finances, minimize debt, and create a plan to save up for a down payment on a condo.
Woo hoo. G'night everyone.
