Hello, hello!

Life
It's another Saturday! I've been living in my new place for a week now. It's still very exciting. Something else that's exciting is that I took my rollerblades out of my car yesterday and tested them by skating to Verry Berry where the owner had made me a CD of the music he's been playing in the shop. Beautiful piano music by a Taiwanese man is wonderful for stress relief or enjoying a nice cup of hot tea on some of the more dreary days we've been having here in Richmond.

School
School is school still. I'm also still doing things ahead of the due date. I managed to finish multiple assignments already today :D I have two tests in the next week, Pre-calc and Human Spirituality, but I think they should be fine. Already did well on my first Statistics test, but not looking forward to the first Chemistry test...though as of now that's not a pressing matter. I am doing better than I thought I would in classes. I'm pretty much gonna be fine I think :)

Work
Dollar Tree is done. They called the other day, on my 11 month anniversary with KJ (in which she was visiting), at 5 to tell me that I was supposed to work at 4:30 that day. I had heard absolutely nothing from them since the first day I worked, and a man whom I had no idea the identity told me that I was supposed to come look at the schedule because that was my responsibility. While I would agree with this, I would not agree if my boss told me that he would call if he needed me or when he put a schedule up. He did neither, and I should not be expected to go out of my way to look at something I didn't even know existed. So...the unidentified man told me that "He'd just write me in as not coming back" because I told him I couldn't work that night, and I basically told him "I don't care. Do what you want." Haha. That's not me, but for this shitty job, I made a personality shift.

In better news. I'm sure to be working at Lowe's soon. Two intense interviews with high ranking managers, a drug test, and a background check makes me think this job is going to be a little more serious. I'm very excited about it. Now, I'm just waiting for the manager to call back once he gets the results from the test and check. Yay :D

Art
One morning I got soaked on the way to chemistry, and on the way back I decided to buy a donut and a new sketchbook to make me feel better :) I have yet to use the sketchbook, but if Strawberry Panic doesn't steal every moment of free time like Soul Eater did these past weeks, then I'm sure to work on something. I've also opened PS a few times to attempt coloring my Shiny Toy Guns piece seen on my front page. Long task with a touchpad, for sure. We'll see if anything comes from that, but no promises.

I'm proud of my 3 minute poem at most that I posted. It was random, but I really like it. I have been reading poetry, but I'm still not sure how much of that will be popping up. It's more likely that I'm going to write a fanfiction for Soul Eater. If you haven't seen that anime, give it a chance. It's amazing, and created by the makers of Final Fantasy if that helps at all.

Misc.
Queer Action is still going well. Collaborations are being made with other organizations to put together Drag Ball this year. It's sad we don't get to do it ourselves, but budget cuts call for such action. The protest is looking like a go too, which is super exciting. Anybody you know in Richmond that doesn't like violence or hatred should come! Speak out against violence! Yay!

Anyway...I'm sure that's long enough. Thanks for reading! :wave:

Happy 11 months and 3 days KJ :heart:

Much love.
Peace :heart:

Forget about Dollar Tree. You probably talked to Richard...did he have a really thick New York accent? It was probably him. Bill seems much too laid back to have said that to you. Richard is...odd. :D

I'm glad you hear that you're getting that job at Lowe's!

When is this protest you speak of...? I'm kind of interested.

Yay! Happy late anniversary! :party:

Yea! I think it was Richard. Isn't the short name for that Dick? Haha, that would be oddly appropriate...maybe it's Bill. Anyway...haha XD

Thank you. I think it was partially because of all that luck you sent :)

The protest is against this Rastifarian (sp?) rapper named Buju Banton who is coming to the National. Queer Action initially is talking about protesting, but a lot of other organizations are sure to get involved. Buju advocates murdering homosexuals, and has a lot of just plain violent lyrics in his music. You should come...I think it's going to be fun personally. Something to check off on the "things I did in college" list right?

Haha. Thank you! :)

:heart:

:lmao: I think you're right...

Hmm...I may. I don't know yet if I'll be working or anything. I seriously don't know my schedule all the time. I have my set dates, but then there is always the chance that Bill will call. I'll have to see. When is it?

Psh, I'm sure you got it all on your own. Congrats!

September 26th. The same day as Gay Pride...go figure (not that it matters to you, just pointing the lack of originality out). It'll be in the evening...probably around 6:30-7 ish.

Thanks again for all the luck and congrats though :)

Crappers. I've pretty much only been working evenings. We'll see. I may go. I'm not so sure, though...

You are most welcome! :dance:
