    Two Jobs
    So I really like the library but it's just not reasonable to keep working there when I have another, FULL-TIME job AND school. so i'm all resolved to turn in my 2-weeks notice, one of these days, until I go back and something really good happens and I'm like, aww,  I can't quit!  Also I have a lot of responsibilities and I don't want to leave them stranded, even though it's just a workplace, and people quit and people cope all the time.
    Another big reason I want to stay connected to the library is for purely selfish reasons: It gives me the opportunity to get to know a lot of people who have a sphere of influence or connections that extend outside the library itself and into other areas of interest in my life, and I'm not that great at maintaining connections beyond a convenient point so I want to hang on to what is given to me as long as possible.

    (SIDE NOTE: rawr this computer is so slow! the words are showing up like, 30 seconds after I type them and it's really messing me up. expect a higher incidence of typos, and a slightly lower level of coheerences.)

    Another thing is that there is a higher position open in my department with less hours per week but still way more pay, and some coworkers of mine (ones that I really like) said they think I have a good chance of getting it if I apply, and I think it would be less responsibilities too.  It's only 3 less hours per week, so that's not way major, but none of us could think of anything the guy who used to have the job was responsible for, except that he was on one committee that I'm already on, so no difference there. I probably wouldn't have to do supplies anymore (yay!) and would also probably be allowed to drop a committee because of the less hours (I've already told another coworker that i'll drop out of this committee that she wanted to be on anyways.)

    but really, it's ridiculous to even think about. we don't need that much money (although it'd be nice to finish paying off our current student loans) and the physical and emotional costs of working so much can't be bought back with any amount of money.  it's totally logical to quit the library but my emotional attachment won't listen to logic. I don't want to quit because I'm scared the people I work with won't like me anymore? see, it is totally ridiculous.
    and, i'm SOOO tired. I have to stay at the chronicle late, sometimes til 1:30 am (like last night) and working the next day at nine just isn't a good idea. I'm putting myself in very real jeopardy of getting sick, possibly seriously so. THEN we'll see how much work gets done!

    If I didn't have a relationship to maintain I think I would be fine... but that takes time too.

    Also I don't like how I basically feel like I'm wasting my time at the library because I don't have constant duties.

    And I pretty much never really wanted to BE a "librarian." 

    I was thinking before that maybe I would apply for the 15hr associate position and if I get it, I would stay for longer, and if not i would just quit then, but even that is a bad idea. I really need sleep.

    ....and I REALLY need to spend more time on my homework and make it as good as possible. yesterday was my first critique of the semester and I really felt like I wanted to throw up all over the class.  I sucked so bad. I wanted to die and be erased from the memory of everyone who ever saw anything I'd ever done.  I thought that I had gained skills and confidence over the summer but when I saw my work up there next to everyone else's I realized that once again, I've been stuck in my crappy little world, totally unaware of how much better I should be. I HAVE to break out of this. i feel like i'm totally ignorant and clueless whenever I do my assignments and it shows.  I mean, geez, I know good design, but when I do something myself it's like I have no idea if it looks good or not until I can compare it to everyone else's, which are usually way better, and by then it's way too late.


    (note: quitting the chronicle is totally ruled out... I can work there until I graduate, getting a job in graphic design immediately after is apparently easy as pie with that experience, and I'm the production manager... one of the top 5 most important people on staff, apparently.  and it's in my field.)

    Okay, so we're re-thinking our approach. >.>; We're having a hard enough time driving six hours, and that ten hour trip from Reno to Ogden about killed both of us. *DIE* So. We're only doing

    hullo. aylura was here.


    ... um. Yes. So. Back to your regularly scheduled update. XD; We're only doing about seven or eight hours max per day. ^.^;;

    Aaand. Darn, I wrote this to post last night, but forgot to as I fell asleep. *sheepish* Oh well. It's only a few hours difference. And we're about to head out now, so I'd better go pack my stuff up.

    See you on Sunday, Lilu! :D!

    (And also Silv: What time do you go to church on Sunday?)

    Too Tired to Sleep
    Poor Arianna is so tired that she can't sleep. I think a bath and a warm bottle of milk will cure that so I must keep this brief. Easily done as there really isn't anything worth mentioning today. *shrug* Just the same old weekly stories that I mention as you are all probably well aware of--
    1) Wifey is stressed
    2) I'm monetarily broke
    3) Hurricanes keep taunting Florida.

    But babies stress all parents out and suck up all your money anyway and look cute doing so.
    It's their special power.


    The only interesting thing at all was last night's dream about Data and Dr. Crusher on the enterprise D using Data as a model to teach some nurses anatomy. Meanwhile I had stolen the Captain's room to make out with Serafina, Rita, Gillian Anderson, and Zig Zag.

    Further commenting on this dream withheld to protect the innocent me.

    Here ios a rough draft toward something I had to do today, and at least spoke of.



    I wanted to express to you I am sorry for my actions at _____________________. I was wrong and crossed a line I should not have and upset you and others. I am still sober 7-13-2007. However, I do not have the best emotional sobriety. But I am working my steps, and trying hard.

    I struggle a lot with step 2,3,4 I’m on 4. I don’t use that as an excuse. I also as I stated am upset about being called “Crazy Tranny” which implies me being a sexual thing as Tranny is a pornographic term and demeaning to trans-women, and making jokes and references to Ozzy Osborne’s Crazy Train.
    I have a resentment toward an individual that started that, and a resentment for someone I felt that allowed bad blood to spill over outside the_____________, and the event describe above boiled over, I crossed the line, and violated the sanctuary of the_______________, to you and wish to formally apologies for my faults, and not repeat past transgressions.
    I admit I was wrong, I also won’t allow it to happen again, I wish you the best of a future and long life.

    Your sister In soberity,

    Leigh “LEE” McInnis Gaetjens

    Gratitude List
    1.) I overcame my fear and did the right thing regarding a wrong I saw.
    2.) I was honest and reached out for help
    3.) I faced a fear I had, before and admitted fault in a past Transgression
    4.)
    5.) The reality of MY LIFE is I am tired of looking the other way at transgressions



    Today I faced a fear I called the inspector with SFPD and now it appears he was a dick to me, and I am the so called, primary suspect in something. I was doing my civic duty, and being honest.

    It also seems christen is comeing to town as well, I also have leads about other things and affairs

    So long, Summer
    Stuff I like about summer:
    the feel of the hot hot sun
    tan lines on my feet
    sunlight
    fresh air
    more time to spend outside
    perfect nights (to be outside)
    less resonsibility (perhaps? but not for much longer)
    plants
    occasional thunderstorms
    that i could go spend time in the mountains (even though I never do :( ...)
    the warmth
    free events in the city (another thing I don't take nearly enough advantage of)
    there's something adventuresome about summer
    Urban hikes if I don't make ti to the mountains
    playing in parks
    being outside
    swimming and/or waterfights (also another thing I usually fail to accomplish)
    vacation possibilities
    everything is better for doing the kinds of things I like to do

    and warmth and outsideness get a million extra points each for being more important than anythign else in the world.

    it's pretty much atumn now, as far as I can tell. the dial's been turned. summer is over. today I'm wearing 5 layers of shirts.. undershirt, gap-filler, t-shirt, sweater, and jacket.  I'm barely warm enough in the super-refrigerated library, where men control the A/C (like with church.)  Not that i'm beign sexist necessarily, I know a few males who are as easily cold as I am, but i think if we're talking generalities, as in percentages, more men are more likely to be less cold, and it also happenes that more men are more likely to be in charge of building maintenance and get to switch on and off the cooler.

    so anyway, I used to be WAY into autumn. i still get that feeling of nostalgia, a ghost of the love I once held for this season, but it's vicinity to the cruelty of Sister Winter has driven me away, to seek refuge in the short (and therefore equally cruel in a less up-front way) but warm and sunny summer. I put up with it's teasing fleetingness because it's worth it for everything else about it that makes me happy. I only wish that I could keep a bottle of summer under my blankets to use six months later when I really need it.

    It might seem insane to other people, my general well-being is really, REALLY attached to the weather. I can't even help it anymore... not much else even factors in anymore, it seems.

    So... what do I like about autumn? i like the haunted quality it has... everything dying in such a beautiful way, and it doesn't hurt that Halloween is thrown in the middle.  I SORT OF like the cool nippy air, if I am REALLY bundled up with enough sweaters. I also kind of like how I can dress in the autumn, probably just because I've had to dress in so many layers SO much that it's just the most comfortable, for being the most familiar (although it can be time-consuming and difficult to vary between days... and this is why I have to own so many clothes.) 

    I'm in denial. I can't be talking about this already.

    please don't go, summer... I promise I'll go on more camping trips and even to amusement parks... I'll even take a road trip.. anything, just don't leave me!

    HAI! :D This is me from Utah. ^.^ Am staying at Pega's house as I type this, with a 'Lura. <3 ja/;k2

    ... who both just poked my keyboard. XD

    Anyway, we'll be here for a few more hours, resting up. ^.^;;; I drove... *counts* 15 hours yesterday. On three hours of sleep. *BOGGLE* No wonder I was so DEAD when I got here. XD Thankfully, now that 'Lura's with me, we'll be going a bit slower. Only driving five hours today, and a little more than that tomorrow. With rest stops and such this time. Because last night was.. ugh. I don't know how I ever made it here last night, and I'm -sure- I woulda, like, died in a horrible fiery blaze because I fell asleep in the car if 'Lura hadn't kept me awake. x.x;;

    Riva's doing okay.. she's sleeping a lot. I'm hoping she's not, like, depressed or something. x.x That'd be bad. *sadface*

    Anyway, we're about ready to go now. Darn timezone differences. >.>;

    Wish me luck on the last 3/4 of the trip! :D

    Still can't believe I'm actually doing this. @.@ *BOGGLE* LILU. GAH. FRIDAY. THREE DAYS!!!! :O!? (Also, I'm keeping Riva in my room for a few days. She's... stressed. ;.;)

    The further reality and self-discovery of me, and inner personal enlighten for peace, and my quest to find peace, joy and happiness, moves a bit closer. Hurricane Gustiav it appears from some inside sources, web clips and it helps to have sources close in Search and rescue missions, an d recovery operations has spared mostly my folks damage.

    The city and state largely overreacted but the threat of one worse than Hurricane Katrina hurts more, and was largely successful; in allowing proper evacuation. Furthermore My gratitude grows as I compose this on the BART this morning on the way to my appointment, a few prospects for temp work, and a few other matters as well.

    I spoke to another individual whom I had been corresponding with for a while back in town, CW also will be in town also I think and that worries me, Perhaps I will keep a low profile for the next few weeks. I do want to see her, but I must respect her boundaries and continue to grow into further enlighten and self-discovery to myself and future

    Gratitude list
    1.)grateful that I have the ability to find humor in life’s shortcomings
    2.) grateful that I am working a good program
    3.) grateful that I have the ability to put things into my own personal Jesus.
    4.) Grateful that I am in San Francisco and moved on from my past in Texas & Louisiana
    5.) Grateful that I was able to put my truck into a higher power.


    This morning now, I am composing this before my 10 Am doctor’s appointment in Oakland I have that appointment to take care of business, I have not had much word on my truck which might have been flooded by the hurricane outside New Orleans but only time will tell.

    Huh
    Social video games such as MMORPGs are a very interesting phenomenon. You get together with a group of people and you become friends with them. Comrades in arms. You take on challenges together and you have failures and you have successes. Then people start fading away and it's a hard thing to deal with.

    ...yeah I left my guild, in WoW. And when I say my guild, I mean it. Nick and I co-ran that thing from its conception right up until... a few weeks ago. We were a tight-knit family, and I mean that.

    But times change and recently when I've logged on I'd open up the guild pane and recognize nobody. Not a soul.

    So yeah. The people who I was close to, I can still maintain contact with, you don't need a guild tag for that.

    But dang if it doesn't feel really, really weird.

    Yes, I'm a nerd. We've gone over this, correct? =P

    Labory Day
    Not much going on. Spent the day with the baby and attempting to get some work done at the same time. Moderate successes overall--

    Cleaning: I got the toilet and tub scrubbed out and took out the diper pail. I still don't understand why when Azzy opens a new roll of TP she doesn't toss out the empty tube. I think she's making a project with them. We have a collection now in tree form behind the commode. I should consider investing in some xmas lights for this.

    Artwise: I got the next comic page fully penciled and I have the website's new front page inked and ready to color. This cover is also going up as an image toward a comic wiki site I'm registered on- Comixpedia.org Here's the entry on The Arbiters. I don't know much on the language of wiki pages, but [info]stragus said he'll work on it in his spare time. Hopefully a loyal reader or two can also volunteer some time to expand it. :)

    Nothing good on TV: It's all about the storms today and really one 30 minute block kinda tells it all for this veteran hurricane survivor. There was this one house that caught fire out there in Louisiana and these damned reporters kept talking about it every 5 minutes like it's the end of the world. Geez, how do you think the owner of that house feels!? If it were me I'd be pissed if someone kept showing it off to the world. Hurts enough that some family lost their home, let's not parade the disaster like a theme park. It would be better to focus on letting the viewers know how they can help. :p

    Yes, I realize there's two more named storms hanging out on their way to Florida.
    Not surprised, it's normal for us really. But It makes me wonder as these storms are kinda close together, you know, so I'm wondering what would happen if two hurricanes crashed into each other... I mean the opposing sides are moving in skewed directions and their spins are different... maybe they'd topple...

    Tried playing video games... but after an hour I didn't get far. Controllers don't run well when covered in baby slobber, but Arianna took a definite liking to FFX's Bahamut. I think she like the colorful wings. Heh heh, good tastes that baby has.


    So yeah, nothing going on. Just me and my daughter alone for today.
    And now just me as Ari has gone to bed. Bored...
    Back to work tomorrow. Boo.

    The reality of life, and myself discovery of myself. Continuing to grow. I had a awakening of gratitude this morning as follows, the reason my Anger, resenentment and shame builds and was lashed out at an Individual whom has 10+ years sober, is with and as a result of my own shame, of becoming what I resented and vowed to never join the ranks.


    Furthermore, I discovered more about myself, and interpersonal enlighten, my pickup truck might be destroyed by gusto, possibly, amongst other issues. Which is going into faith in my higher power?

    Gratitude list
    1.) Grateful for being able to grow spirituality
    2.) Grateful for being able to let go, and put my truck and hurricane gusty to my higher power
    3.) Grateful to have a ok program
    4.) Grateful to be clothed, fed, and sober
    5.) Grateful to be realistic, and honest.


    The list
    A.) Laundry
    B.) Bills
    C.) Planning for tommmorow
    D.) Rest, and taking care of myself
    E.) Being more disciplined in myself.

    Today went ok, had a good 7am meeting, also took care of other things like laundry. Have to shop for a backpack soon

    Took care of a few other affairs, some finance affairs, have a huge busy and stressful day tomorrow, and much to achive today in prepration for it.

    TOON RPG: Return to Abnormalcy
    Since three players from the usual RP group found better things to do then roll plastic cubes this weekend the remaining members needed to come up with an alternate form of entertainment. Enter [info]stragus, master wizard of the RPG called Toon. Toon is a very simple game of cartoon physics where failing is much more rewarding then succeeding. You don't have a game master, you have an Animator.
    The Characters:

    Susie: A 3'2" tall white furred catgirl with big boobies and beautiful blue eyes. She's Sexy, fast, and weilds a giant deadly nail file that can take down even the mightiest of unmanicured foes. She loves fast cars and bubblegum, but doesn't like mixing them together (ruins the leather seats). Shtick: Stretching & Luck. Natural enemies: Mice.

    Kyota: A 5'6" tall female fox demon with white fur and glowing red eyes. She's strong as an ox, bold as Ariel 36 point font, and about as bright as a bag of hammers. She's got a broken moral compass (Always points west) and carries a bag of souls of her victims (Which are actually just marbles). Shtick: Change Shape. Natural enemies: The Pope, religion.

    T. Subject: A timid 3' tall guinea pig gal with a pocket giant hamster wheel, a message pouch filled with spam messages, and the meanest popcorn popper in the west. No really, it can pop an ear of corn at relativistic speeds! She loves popcorn flavored food pellets and her hamsterwheel. Shtick: Cosmic Shift. Natural enemies: Evil scientists.

    Prof. Edvard Gad: Called "E. Gad" for short, and yeah he is pretty short at about 4'3", Gad is the brainy white haired scholarly intellect of the group. He carries a portal lab with every conceivable gadget you can think of (and space for a few he has yet to make up). Prof. Gad loves a good fix-it challenge, but the goggles, they do nothing! Shtick: Coat of Arms. Natural enemies: Unfixable gadgets.

    Kard: He's a spanish accented angel who fell from heaven when he rolled off the wrong side of the bed. However, just because he has wings and a razor sharp chakram for a halo doesn't mean he's that kind of angel. Kard loves himself some money because good deeds alone don't pay the rent. Weilding his Holy Stapler, Kard fights for justice and a big paycheck. Shtick: Bag of Many Things & Flying. Natural enemies: The poor.

    And now that we have introductions out of the way... ( On to the story! )
    ( And now the quotes of our game! )

    Life and the dramma, and freedom from bondage
    Sunday, August 31, 2008

    Slept ok, last night. Went to The Emergency room, at San Francisco General Hospital last night due to more dizziness, cramps, and fatigue. Its odd. It might be also transition related, I have had the hiccuips also as well. I feel better this morning, I also feel some of the issues may be my body adjusting to changes.

    I left the emergency room, in disgust. My blood pressure and salt levels feel a bit up to normal.

    The also further more, my back started hurting, and I have had another health issue, a early bedtime, water, and rest today is on my own personal adgenda. I lost it, I need to stop pretending to friends, people in the program that life is ok, and manageable. I also should reach out to new-comers more, do my step work, and call sober people.

    I think the reason, which is part of the problem I think to much, is I don’t want to let go, and get of the crazy bus. The MSPD is helping somewhat. I started running a bit, and went hiking part of yesterday. That’s one of the great things about San Francisco is the exercise opportunities.

    E-mail drama
    I also thought while browsing craigslist I found an interesting post with some search criteria, to someone I used to be friends with and close to, but lied to me, and also she sent me a reply
    You are totally psycho, dude! And by the way, at least I'm not cowering and hiding myself away from the whole world, not dating, just because I've been hurt in my past relationships! At least I don't live ruled by my bitterness and residual pain. Whatever, asshole...leave me alone. I wish nothing to do with your kind!!




    Here is my reply

    At least be woman enough to use non-fake photos. I will be happy to leave you alone, personally I find Trans genders, and the GLBTQ community as a whole Disgusting with the exception of transgender men, queer women, and dykes, goths, punks, emo, and I just reinvented myself. and find 90% of transgender women I dislike and most dislike me. At least I don't scream at people, when our rights are infringed on, not every battle is worth fighting.

    I would rather be alone and bitter my whole life than to be in a relationship that doesn't meet my utterly high standards. Pain is my pleasure, I let go of my pain, but you lied, and lie to people, those photos are not you. You should be woman enough to admit it.at least I don't sit in a closet all day, I am financially UN-co dependant, and take care of my own affairs, at least I am vegan, veg. at least I don't allow people like you to drain me as a vampire, we are so much alike its unreal, and we drive each other crazy, you just cant see it.


    and Just for not dating, I have love interests in the East Bay. at least I'm not so chickenshit about Oakland, or Berkeley. At least I desire a good life, I am aware of my defects of ch rater, and I am working on them, at least I am.

    "whatever, asshole...leave me alone. I wish nothing to do with your kind!!" at least I am sure in my sexual orientation and what I want out of life, I’d rather be strange and a asshole, and bitch, which I am very good at being, than to be co-dependant living in a closet in the hood'

    The reason I reply ed, was due to my disgust and proof of you lying using other peoples photos. Have a good life, I wish nothing to do to you either, leave me alone as well. I have a life out site being TG and know what I am, and don't base my life in GLBQ issues, Mostly LQT issues. I also have a life in AA, and also in my church, and a few hobbits and trade groups. at least I am starting my life over and don't sleep till 10 or 11 everyday. and stat up till 3 playing play station games, and I know who I am.



    Gratitude List
    1.) Grateful of the weather ( I like the cold)
    2.) Grateful for having a wonderful therapist and doctor
    3.) Grateful I know who I am and what I want
    4.) Grateful for knowing that I need to work my steps, call people, and work on gratitude
    5.) Grateful for knowing I don’t need to bitch everyone out my life




    This week I have an appointment at the doctor up near Piedmont, I also have a few other things to do this week, mail, documents, DMV and other issues. I also have to compose a few other documents. I am going to run a few other things given the sentsive nature of affairs and other matters.


    I talked to DLG/PMG they left New Orleans for Abita Springs, and did not go to AL, for pats sake. I also e-mailed MLS . BP and MS are well in Houston watching the storm.

    I almost can't believe this is really happening. *blink* Alright. Well. o.o Wish me luck driving the six hours to Hyla's house, all alone (except for the cat), in a car who's gas gauge/speedometer still don't really work. ^.^;;

    Anyway. This'll probably be my last update for a while, unless someone along the way has internets I can use. <3

    Arukou, arukou
    So I found a pedometer laying around and I decided to take it to work with me. I reset it and clipped it to my pocket right as I was leaving the house and had it clock all my walking from getting in the car, to getting out of the car, to walking across the parking lot, all the actual walking during my eight-and-a-half hour shift, the walking to and from Target for lunch, and the walk back to my car and then back into my house after nabbing the mail.

    The result?

    8578 steps. 4.05 miles.

    Now I dunno about you guys, but being able to walk four miles every day at my job is actually kinda nice, 'cause it means I'm getting some decent exercise in without even really trying. So on that note, I'm rather glad I don't have some sitting-in-a-chair all day job. My eating habits are still admittedly lackluster (I basically live off of Diet Dr. Pepper, granola bars, peanut butter, and Amy's Kitchen Burritos), though it's not out of laziness so much as out of circumstance... but at least I'm getting my walking in darnit!

    And nobody has cornered me and told me I am pale/losing weight in a long time. That is a good thing.

    I'M FREE, I'M FREE! :D!!!

    Just finished uploading the LAST of those site edits, and am not letting her slip in anything else. I had her type up a be-all, end-all list. I asked her, just to make sure, if she was certain that everything she wanted me to do was on that list. It is now FINISHED. Therefore, she has no further business with me. X3

    HAH. Take that! *dance around freely* :D

    *boxes of unfinished packing fall from the sky*

    *squished* x.x

    Maybe I should finish that. Yeah. *wander off to stuff boxes into car*

    So okay. I'm glad there's an extra day to pack. Plus, it gives me a -little- more time to get poor Riva used to the car. I took her out this morning while it was still cool, and we just sat in the car for a god half hour or so, while she alternately sat on my lap, the passengerside seat, and hid under the glove box. ^.^; Poor thing. I'm gonna get her in the car again later, and start it up (possibly go around the block once, too) so she has some form of experience with it, at least, and won't freak out too bad on me when we leave tomorrow. Poor thing. I hope she doesn't take this move too hard. x.x;

    Nn. I'd better go finish packing. Can finally load my car, so I'd better get on it. Thankfully, it has nowhere else to go now but the gas station, before the big trip.

    In other news, I have the last updates for crazylady to do and upload. Thankfully, she seems to have adhered to the deadline I gave her. :D Now I only have one more list to go through, and we're done! I just wish she hadn't gone and added random unnecessary fiddlybits before she typed up the list. I even believe that a couple of them will actually make the site -less- accessible, but hey, it's what she wants, and I don't really care any more whether or not it works or not, so long as she leaves me alone. *shrug!*

    So I'm off. *salute* See you all later! :D

    Slept really good, had a massage yesterday helped my back and neck, have laundry to do today. I also might be flying into New Orleans International from Oakland international to take care of some affairs and also staying in Houston, Texas.

    I have some things to take care of some affairs here, as well. Clean some dirty chapters, I also have big, big plans for myself, and my future. I lost something, major. I need to get something back in myself. Something is missing. And I also myself may become missing. I feel as if I have no meaning, I have no purpose.

    I lost and hurt someone whom cared, about me. I also have trouble, given I feel I have less and less to share with. I called the SFPD Inspector Aaron Pera, about the theft I witnessed, and also might have to go testify for the diner dash / assault/ theft.

    Hate and anger is what I breed, and the fire of what I burned for so long. I let it go to some god of my own understanding. I lost something within myself, perhaps I feel exceield, within my own self and sprit. I honestly miss Houston drastically so, I even which I could live there, I would go home to where I came out.

    But I feel I have no community, no support, I didn’t really fit in with California, I don’t really feel folks understand me, and also the folks who try, I don’t like do to my utterly high standards. I miss the southern hospitality of sorts.
    I really wish I could share my big plans, and ideals, but others would not be so understanding. I don’t have any plans any longer of going after my resentments, my plans are mostly political, and problem will result in not very good concqucnes just for myself.



    The list
    1.) Laundry
    2.) Homework / work
    3.) Check Mail
    4.) DMV & DPS mail documents /print visit dmv
    5.) Rest / meeting


    Gratitude
    1.) Grateful for the weather cool again!
    2.) Grateful for AA, and having a good foundation on sobriety and reality
    3.) Grateful for being committed to starting over in life
    4.) Grateful for being able to grow spiritually
    5.) Grateful for being true to myself.


    I have an resentment more recently building within my spirit. The building

    Today
    My parents are off to Washington State to the family reunion thingy. I'm... stuck here in Montana at home, with a headache, knowing I have to go to work in a couple hours.

    Wish I was goin' to Washington too >.>

    Takin' it all in stride, though... takin' it all in stride. Gonna see what the new work schedule for next week is today, I imagine it'll be a basic template for the "school year in general" schedule, if it's overly annoying then it's new job application time! Heck, I might do that right now. Well, after I eat breakfast, anyways.

    See?
    LJ Revamp 2008: New LJ theme (well, old one, but I haven't used it in a while), deleted some user icons I never use (still got more I want to delete later), new LJ title for literally the first time since 2004, new default user icon of the Most Esteemed Pikestaff the Hare Esq., et cetera, et cetera, and so forth...

    Still contemplating a new mood theme; I spent FOREVER on my custom webcomic one which I am using currently, but I've been using it for a long time and I'm feelin' like something different. This will be thought about.

    Nick and I rolled matching Gnome Mages on an RP-PvP server. I am... so not supposed to be having this much fun playing a non-hunter class. SO WRONG. =|

    Contemplating applying for a job at Wells Fargo; word on the street is that they have a really good entry wage. And it's not open on Sundays, so I wouldn't have to jump through hoops to get Sundays off. And I'd have the evenings off. I have, at this point, accepted the fact that I have sort of failed a lot of "life things" and my college education has culminated in no real immediate prospects other than clawing my way up the minimum wage ladder, and for some reason I'm okay with that. I went to school, I had a good time, I'm tens of thousands of dollars in debt now and wishing I'd majored in something else, but hey, at least I went.

    Fall is in the air, and it's making me happy. The Post-School Funk is sorta getting to me again, but it's not as bad as last year. I still feel this itching to buy school supplies...

    ...in closing, Nick been reading me "Star Wars: Heir to the Empire" and I have been reading him "WarCraft: The Last Guardian". All your geek books are belong to me.
