Into the unknown

I think my icon perfectly sums up my mood at the moment.

The Friends of the Library had their annual book sale this weekend. Today, from 4 to 6 p.m., they had the $5.00 bag sale. I dragged [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] there, since we were already hanging out. xD I got a ton of books, including a cookbook and some ~romance~ novels. Overall, I was quite pleased.

[Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] and I were there for more than one reason, however. We've decided to... read Twilight. I, for one, am curious to see what the big deal is about, and if they do actually suck as much as people say they do.

The book sale didn't have any copies, so we got two copies of the first book from the library. We've already made it through the first two chapters, and right now I want to punch Bella in the face. She reminds me so much of a Mary Sue: all of the boys love her, everyone wants to talk to her and be her friend, and she's way too stuck up about how smart she is. She is also too whiny, and the dialogue in these first two chapters is so bad. Hopefully we can make it through the first book. xD

Work has been busy; school has been "meh." I need to start thinking about applying to CSU, even though there are so many things I need to do at Front Range first.


On the dating front- I've gone out on at least four (I think) coffee dates since I started doing the LoveBug thing. That's four more dates than I've had in the past year and a half. Too bad I haven't liked any of the guys I've been matched with. No chemistry whatsoever, and some of them have been jerks. Hopefully someone will come along that I'll actually feel something with.

On the plus side, I've lost a little over 18 pounds since the beginning of September.

Okay! After the very interesting laptop drama over the last few days, I have finally got a laptop back! Luckily, it's much nicer than the one I originally had. x3 Apparently the one I have now is a gaming laptop, so it'll play tons of games no problem. And that includes Morrowind. So I'm really excited to check out what exactly I can do with this baby. And this new one comes with stuff like Microsoft Money, so I can keep track of my accounts and all that even more easily. And I can check to see how much debt I'm in... >_> I'm also sad that I had to lose all of my RP stuff, icons, music, etc. when I lost my other laptop, but... hey, there was nothing I could do about it.

I went to Life of the Party today, and ended up buying four pairs of shoes. xD But they're all very cute! Two of them are the same shoe, just in different colors: one is with pink satin and black lace, with a three inch heel, and the other pair is red satin with black lace and a three inch heel. I also ordered a pair of knee high boots with ribbons that lace up the side, and some schoolgirl shoes with three inch heels. x3 I can't wait to get them~ I love shoes. No question. And if I go to Suite 152 again and wear that same outfit I did on Tuesday, I can wear my new red heels. x3 *flail*

Speaking of! It was totally awkward seeing Larry there. xD Especially after everything that had happened between us; it was strange to have him wanting to talk to me and hug me. He even invited me over to see the closet he's been living in at Billy's. o_o So I'm a little weirded out by him right now, especially when I think about that time he called me in May. xD Stupid Larry. But him and I meeting again had to happen sooner or later; I'm glad that it happened now instead of at NDK. That would have been really awkward.

I've been really tired lately. And I still need to finish getting my room together; there's still stuff all over the place, especially now that I've unpacked everything in the boxes I brought back from Loveland. Sigh. I really don't want to live at home any more, especially considering the fact that someone in my family ruined my laptop and forced me to go out and buy a new one. But, considering how much in debt I am at the moment, it's probably a good thing that I'm going to be living at home for a while. xD With no rent to worry about, I can focus on paying that off, as slowly as it may be.

Movie night with my co-workers tomorrow! It'll be kind of fun to spend time with everyone outside of work... I'm actually looking forward to it. I work with some pretty cool ladies.

Work has totally been keeping me down lately. xO This past week I had 38 hours scheduled... it's good money, but still. xD People just don't seem to realize that I need my days off, too. Of course, I could always turn them down, but... if I do, I feel bad. And I'd like to think that because I'm taking their shifts now, if I need some covered in the future they'll do the same. But, yeah. I'm finally going to get Tina-chan her CD player with this week's big paycheque~! That's exciting.

On another note, what's not so exciting? My first gross experience at Macy*s. xD It's kind of hard to believe that I've been there almost two years, and have now only run into something really nasty in the fitting rooms. I've been around when other people have had their experiences, but it's never happened to me personally. It's nothing too bad compared to what some of my friends have experienced, but... still. xD Anyway, when I was working my shift on Friday, I found a used diaper in the fitting room. T_T It was very gross... even a little warm, still. xD; *sigh* I swear, people are just odd in what they think is acceptable behavior in public places.

And I hate my date with David about a week or so ago! It was pretty fun... we went bowling and then went to Starbucks after that. :D He wants to go mini golfing when we get together next... or he wants to take me to a shooting range and teach me how to shoot a gun. xD; He has some very strange ideas, I think. But both sound fun to me~

And I also went to Red Robin for the first time in months about a week ago, as well. I was hoping to see both Derek and Chewy, since Derek pestered Shannon and me about coming in. xD But it was only Chewy... it was nice to see him, though! And Carter works at the Red Robin, too! o_O I thought that he worked at the one in Loveland, so it was a surprise to see him. xD He came over and we chatted for a bit, and he made me promise to come in and see him more often.

I've also had my first few therapy sessions with Natalie. She seems like a really nice person... and it's been kind of stabilizing to get back into therapy. xD It's like "Okay, I'm in therapy, the world is normal now." But yeah... I'm going to see her for the summer (at $15 a session, though ;o;). But she's taking Britney's place in the fall, so I'm probably going to continue seeing her once school starts again.

Speaking of... I finally decided to take "World Music." xD It's my last semester, and I want to have a few fun classes. And I'm much happier when I have a music class, anyway. But I'm the first person to sign up for it. I wonder if I'll be the only one in it..? There will probably be more people signing up as it gets closer to August.

It's a good thing I'm working all of these hours, though. e_e; Manga is taking over my life! I'm already buying them so much... and now there's a new series I want to check out. xD It is so good, though.
