I have quit Great Clips.
Nadine said I was being stupid. Staying would be stupid if you ask me.
I have a new job after oh.. one day of anding out resumes. Just waiting for after long weekend to get my hours form the manager. ^____^ It's a mere part time. Base pay is 8.50 an hour + commission. I don't think I'll have a problem with commission. I told her the bare minimum of hours I could survive on was 15 a week. Which is Very true though tips will still help me, you know... live. Bus passes etc. I'm just gunna buy a packet or two. And the rest of my cash will probably go to cat food and random encounters with friends.
I suspect my pay wont be up to what it was, roughly 1,4000 a month with tips, for Awhile. I'll have to get more hours and a clientelle going.
I hope to get another part time job once I'm settled in. So I'll start looking next week. I'm just debating the bus pass or no bus pass option. But it will help me get downtown.
I have to look up when school starts again as well. It wont be dipping into my savings Overly much to pay for it.
I fret too much. ^_^;; But it's good to fret and I'll get plenty of experiance and yeah. I'll stop worrying soon.
Needless to say I wont be out very much at ALL in the coming months so I can pay bills and save and such. *disapears*

Guess I should update this thing once in awhile. I certainly am not getting out much to see people, so telling them I'm alive would be good yes?
Met leslies little baby Ruthie. My amazing baby skills displayed themselves in a panic to deposit baby Out of lap and to Miya or Lelsie or Somebody else. nearly Dropped baby. Luckily was on couch and Miya was there to Take baby. She's very cute and soft and smells good like most babies. I still prefer cats. UU;;;;;;;;;;;;;; said as mine Bites me, he was purring so I guess it's a love bite? Chomp.... perhaps chewing...
School has ended for the summer leaving me time to harass parents over their packrat mentality. Stop laughing who do you think I leared it from? Well their constant nagging for cleanliness has backfired. I'm more fastidious than They are now and have bullied them into getting rid of crap. My sewing room and my room are the most crowded yet most organized and frequently cleaned of the entire house!!! >.<
I know everyone Thinks I'm a pig but I'm not. I just generally avoid human contact or doign anyhting around people. Left to my own devices I clean up after myself frequently. I just seem to have a weird phobia of doing Anything around people even though messes left alone drive me up the wall.
Anyways yeah. Lots of cleaning to do. Just finsihed washing down the walls and cuboards in the kitchen. Gunna vacume and wash floors. Keep going through the multitudes of boxes i'd completely forgoten about. @_@ Lots of old art I hope to take to Vickeys and scan. She said I needed a devientart account so I might just get one now that I've found old projects I actually took the time to do well.
The end of school has also had be burning to work on projects, like that summer wardrobe I need. In the end I went out and bought cropped pants instead and a shirt or two. So I can function on hot days etc. I bought two loli dresses. One sailor themed dress which surprised me cuz i don't normally Like that style but this one was elegant looking, and the old rose brown jsk off M. It's pretty! And the colors suit me perfectly and will be even Better once my hair decides what color it's going to be. ^^;; Alas all sewing projects are on hold until I can get my sewing room cleaned up from the disaster it turned into when parents started using it as a storage room for useless crap once again. UU;;
I got a raise, finally!, at work so my plans to find a new job are going to be put off till schools over. Than I'll consentrate on finding a new job and paying off student loan. Right now I can't get a second job without messing up my hours with greatclips more than I do with school.
I bought a bike I now bike to and from work and it's showing results. I'm Just starting to get little hallow places here and there that used to be a bit softish/lumpish with fat reserves XP. Which makes me think I need to do some weight training to build muscles instead of just loosing weight with nothing to burn fat. ^^;; Yay Ruka makes muslces for first time in life!
So yeah, all I've been doing is school, organizing and work. With a few trips here and there. My only for fun thigns this summer have been two trips to nightmarket, one movie and one downtown trip to pick up a prize. Reading has been my relaxing thing for weeks now. ^^;;
but yeah, I've spent enough time sitting now. Im off to do more cleaning stuffs. So that by the time my vacation time coms I ont have to do anyhting but veg!

What to do, what to do...
Okay... so everything I wanted to get from baby has fell through. So now I'm saving for aparently nothing! :O
This has to be corrected! My goal is 500$ but what do I do with it than?
Do I buy random stuff when it pops up that I want? Do I buy stuff that is cheaper but made to my measurements like fanplusfriend?
http://stores.ebay.com/Fanplusfriend
Do I buy summer or winter clothing? Do I just keep saving till the end of the summer and go wild with buying a winter wardrobe? I've already got 200$ after roughly a week and a half of saving so I'll have ALOT of cash by the end of the summer. ^^;;
I do kinda need a new loli jacket, multiple bloomers...
Should I go on an exsessories spree? I have very few other than my beloved mimi hats and top hats. I have no Real headdresses. Nothing made with staples counts... >.>
Should I commission my friend to make this h.Naoto dress I found in Kera Maniax.
Should I find somebody local to make me things?
*runs in circles* What should I do! ;_;
Or do I just buy some D.O.D. to make teeny clothings for and dress up? :D
I'm leaning towards the pointless D.O.D. cuz I keep telling myself I can just MAKE all my clothing. Except the jacket which I'll probaby get commissioned... >.>

I think I might be alergic to dust.
At home and work(airconditioning hasn't been cleaned in years) I get really sniffily and sore throated. My eyes water alot too, specially if I'm not careful about wahsing my hands off. But outside or somewhere where it's cleaned frequently I'm absolutely fine. Like when I was helping Miya move. I felt Horrible after moving the first few things.
So I need to go through and clense quite a bit form my room. Make it easier to just go through and dust frequently.
*sigh*
Fun times. I'm such a packrat this is going to be difficult.
I need hat boxes. >.>

Eee fun meme~
"What is your perspective of me? Using a candybar doll maker (http://elouai.com/doll-makers/new-dollmaker.php#aligntop) make a doll of me from what you remember of my looks and post it here in the comments. Once you've posted here, ask the same in your own journal and see what your friends think you look like!"

There is life beyond lj, beyond that computer screen we hang in front of so very often.
The only real merrit it holds is the possibility of friendship, even than only of the mind.
So watch your words, remember it's an imperfect medium. Be willing to walk away.
Appreciate what really matters.
I'm going to work now.

Uuuugh so angry and annoyed. >.<
Why is it I'm ALWAYS pissed when I come home from the hair dressers?
So I went to Princess Beauty Salon cuz they do extentions and shit for a WASH. Oh and I'd like to NOT go home dripping wet. I shoulda known. >.< I mean just on the phone I was kinda annoyed by the attitude I was hearing.
But I went and made a BIG mistake. Didn't ask what the pricing was. I mean it's a wahs and DRY. Nothing fancy cuz geez it's dreds. Just don't want it dripping.
They tried to charge me 64$.... aparently washing dreds is harder...um. It's synthetic not real. They don't need to be washed alot. Just my SCALP dumbshits!
Needless to say I refused. I said based on what they had displayed in pricing I would pay 40$ no more. Just to get the Fuck outa there. They kept insisting. Bullshit really. I couldn't believe the audacity.
So I paid 40$ when the manager finally showed up and agreed to let me have that price. Stupid cow hairdressers dun know how to handle irate customer which called Another salon for pricing. MUCH higher end no less. Gee 10 to 15 for wash? Drying would be more than 20$ extra TOPS. Probably stick me under a dryer with towels. (which they shoulda done). Specially since I kept saying. Doens't have to be dry just not dripping hello.
Now tomorrow I go get it washed again cuz they put some useless crap in my hair which it didn't need that Stinks and is giving me a headache.
ugh...

More bitching from me. ^^;;
I wa slooking up pit bulls cuz my family has one. In fact we've had two. One having died in a car accident.
The whole statistics on dog bites pisses me off! Pit Bulls are NOT an agressive breed! No more than any other dog is. Less argressive than SMALL DOGS.
The reason so many large dog attacks are fatal or involve serious injuries is the size/strength of the dog and it's levle of training.
A well trained dog will STOP BITING when yelled at. An untrained dog will do whatever the hell it pleases because it's poorly trained! Pit Bulls do more damage because they were bred to bite, hold on and ignore pain. Most Pit Bulls are not raised as a family dog but as a gaurd dog so they do not respond to humans very well. Generally those are the ones that bite and cause damage.
I want everyone to think of every dog they've ever met. Who has been the most agressive towards you? The giant hulk who barks a few times than sniffs your hand and walks away? or the little dog who goes barkbarkbarkbarkbarkbarkbarkbarkbarkbarkbarkbarkbark whenever it see's you or something moves or you go near it?
Blow that little dog up and it's be pretty scary! I've been bitten three seperate times by small dogs and ushually the owners don't seem to care cuz it's just a little lap dog.
It's a fucking DOG. It BITES cuz you don't train it to not bite! Only one owner was flipping out and apologizes profusely for its dogs behavoir.
Only one large dog I've met bit and it was kept in the yard far away from anyone who visited. It was not a snuggle hug dog. It was a gaurd dog. Peroid. Sadly they thought their dog would be fine cuz people are STUPID with large animals.
It just pisses me off. Cuz the gentlest dog I've ever had is our pitbull. Our Lab was more agressive than Rusty! He's energetic and plays har dbut yell at him, he melts into a puddle of I'm sorry and hides for the next six hours!
Stupid stupid stupid people...

I think I got my casual-ish winter plaid outfit figured out.
Two outfits got torn apart but combined I think they'll work. Now I just need a REAL corset made Obi style in some sort of canvas material. Nothing too rich since this is kinda like deconstructed irish geisha or something silly. XD It'll make senc eonce the outfit is done I Swear.
