i want life in every word

imthelobster and I went away this past weekend to celebrate our one year anniversary (and just to get away) and it was amazing. We went to the beach, near St. Pete but not actually on St. Pete, and it was just... omg so perfect. The weather was amazing, the water was amazing, the view from our hotel room was amazing. I really did not want to come home.

Also, The Village Inn has the absolute best pie ever. It was freaking heavenly, I swear. Ending up having dinner there was totally an accident, since we were looking for a little italian place that we never found, but it was totally worth it because YUM.


In other news, when we got back to town yesterday I went and got my hair done. It's now really short (see: spiky short) and a dark auburn. I LOVE IT. I was so, so nervous about doing it, but I'm really pleased with it right now. SOOO much better than it was before, thank god.

Also, we finally got desks to set up. So now we have internet, and a place to put our computers! haha. I'll be setting those up after work today, and then maybe we'll become involved in the internet world again. (I haven't played WoW in over a week, wtf?)


For locals: look for me at the community market this wednesday. I'm not 100% sure, but I think I should be going. :)

I have pictures of my new house! Which I have closed on! And is MIIIINE!!! This is all pre-painting / getting minor work done, but STILL.

Hopefully these won't be ridiculously large...

( pictures under hereeeee )

There's more pictures here, if anyone is interested in seeing them. :) Of course I'll have even more pictures when the house is all pretty-fied with colors I actually LIKE.

Met with a contractor today about painting the place, getting new kitchen countertops, and doing the few minor repairs that need to be done. It's gonna cost almost exactly what we were estimating, which is good because it means it's affordable. :P
Actually, we were estimating high, because I was originally estimating cost without including countertops for the kitchen, so that's pretty much excellent.

But OMG I am exhausted. Closed yesterday, met with contractor today, had to get insurance/power/water set up, run to the post office about the mailbox key, fight with my bank (because they are OH SO excellent wtf)... not to mention closing at work both days. I just want to sleep for a week now.

So, I got nudged to post. Again.

I can't help it that I haven't been posting lately, I have nothing to post abouuut. I'm still working, and my job does not change, ever. I'm still playing a lot of WoW, whichhhh pretty much no one else on my flist plays (with the exception of one or two :P )

imthelobster and I are still looking for a new place. Bah. I keep getting tripped up -- like, last week we were supposed to go out and spend the morning driving around and checking out some places, and I ended up blowing a tire on the 408 (fucking again) and so had to spend the day getting that fixed instead. It's frustrating. I keep telling myself we have time, and it's true, we do... for now. Would rather not end up having to rush the whole thing, though.

Have I mentioned that change scares me? :/ I like change, and I think it's healthy and blah blah whatever, but actually going through change is still scary. Moving into this house wasn't, because it was kind of a wimp move on my part, since it's a house I'm used to and all that. But moving out of it, and not having the crutch of renting from my mother, is scary. Which is strange anyway, cause it's not like I wasn't doing that before. I don't know. I get too comfortable, or something.

Wow, that was a tangent. Not really sure where that came from. o.O

HOKAY ANYWAY, now I've posted. So there. :P

Updated to a paid account! Woo! So we'll see if I actually make use out of it, then, but I at least wanted to do one year to support the site. :)

I deleted a bunch of icons, and now I have space for more... >.> ICON HUNT. I think I need some GG icons lol. I watch such terrible television, it's amazing. XD

My stomach does not feel well today. :(
I think it's because of the coffee I had. I should've known better, honestly.

Created a comm at Dreamwidth. getaway_machine. I have no idea what I'm going to do with it yet, and I admit I snagged it because, even though I changed my username on this site, I didn't want anyone else to have it, either. >.> What can I say?
I may use it for pictures, or something? If I actually start taking pictures again, heh. Which I should, so who knows?

On a random aside, I want more interesting tags on dreamwidth than I have on lj. meh.

In a development that will be a shock to very few, I've been playing a lot of WoW lately. Guild is progressing through the new raid content, which is awesome. And I got my croc pet yesterday! WOOOHOOOOO! I've only been trying for that thing for months now. And the Argent tournament is so much fun. Hey, weesaw! I get to be a knight! So there :P :P

Now if only I could get that sea turtle to appear...

I dunno. WoW is a good escape from the real world for me, and I'm still enjoying it a lot. Usually I lose interest in games pretty quickly, but I think WoW keeps mine because it keeps changing, and because I'm interacting with other people, not just a computer game.

I guess in a lot of ways it's just another part of the internet to be addicted to. Lord knows I've been addicted to some part of the internet or another since I was, what, eleven years old? A damn long time, now.

So, they installed Sonic Wall at work, to help with virus protection (since on of the computers here is completely fried with viruses) and to block a bunch of websites. When the boss left today I decided to see what I could get to and what I couldn't... LJ works, Dreamwidth works, my email works, guild website works, twitter works... Facebook and MySpace have definitely been blocked, but I never use MySpace and only rarely use Facebook, so I'm pretty set. I know BossMan said he wasn't done with the settings on it, but still, seems like it won't be too bad.
The other girls at work are crying over the loss of Facebook though, hahaha.

Getting back into the groove of actually journaling is strange. I think I like it, though. :)


Gonna try crossposting this over to le olde eljay, and see how that works out. ::crosses fingers::
