avoidance, hurrah!

song+ All That I Am- Rob Thomas- Something To Be
book+ nothing currently
scent+ dusty comics?
quest+ getting apartment forms filled out and turned in
upper+ the bunny on my desk has people-legs sticking out of his mouth and that makes me smile
downer+ i should think that was rather apparent
attire+ dark wash jeans, tinkerbell tee, sneakers
drink+ dr pepper


so i know i've been slacking lately, but i think it's kinda understandable. to quote something i said to Roro a week or two ago, to deal with stress i do a combo of mood eating, internalizing into tummy issues, avoidance, and lashing out at people who don't deserve it. that's totally healthy, right? xD i'm not gonna post about dad's stroke here, because at this point everyone has either posted about it or read about it elsewhere.

speaking of Roro, it's great having all of us together again, even if it's only been a day and the novelty hasn't worn off yet. xD i look forward to being able to see everyone under cheerier circumstances soon. we haven't filled out or turned in the applications for the new apartment yet, but even so, kyu and i are tentatively planning on being moved by my birthday. it should be rather obvious we plan on keeping the new place considerably cleaner, so i look forward to having everyone over. i've been really (understandably) tired lately and i'm taking tomorrow (friday) off PTO, but with the move approaching i was thinking of holding off on that till i knew exactly what was going on. after i fell asleep during lunch and nearly ended up with my face in my macaroni, i decided that i needed a day off for sure..

i tend to take the friday of Wizard World off too, so i try to think about the vacation time i have in total while i schedule this stuff. i'm going to WWTx again this year, but i dunno if i'll go friday or if i'll just limit myself to saturday and sunday. i know what costumes i'd like to have done, but i dunno if i can afford them, so i may just work on improving the ones i've already done. fixing the things i ran out of time on. there's also two costumes i got the stuff for last year so Moose could dress up, but i abandoned them when i discovered she wouldn't be able to go after all. i can finish those this year for whenever she can wear them, and i can feel awesome and stuff. xD

i realized i've been using my ipod pretty heavily for music therapy this week. usually i charge it once or twice a month, since i listen a little on tuesday and wednesday, but not much beyond that. this week i've had to charge it twice, and my phone an extra time too. xD i know for other people charging a phone more than once a week is normal, but i use it for its calculator feature more than i call people. xD i've never been a phone-friendly person.

this weekend should be fun though, there's a tentative plan to have James and Naku over friday to visit with Roro. i dunno what we're gonna do, but there's a good chance we'll eat the frozen lasagna in the freezer. maybe mess with some Sims2 stuff, but that's more a solitary thing than something for three people to be messing with.. especially since mine's abnormally laggy. xD i need to clean up my computer and get rid of space-wasting files i never use. i'm thinking of clearing out some of the useless crap that came pre-installed on my computer. like, i never use the microsoft office suite, but it's there, and doesn't need to be. there's other stuff that i don't even know what it is, and a lot of that can probably go. i'd like it if my machine ran at a decent speed and didn't glitch the crap out of Sims graphics, which are not fancy at all. X.x i don't think i'm asking too much.

but yeah, i did all the stuff i absolutely had to have done by friday today, so tomorrow i can sleep in and try to finally feel remotely human again. it'll also give me time to finally finish all the things i've fallen behind on and meant to do.. like fixing Larxene's faceup. that's been dependant on buying the proper sealant. the brand i bought apparently has a reputation for eating DoD resin, which would be absolutely horrendous since she cost me so much and i love her face. X.x from now on i'll finish my research before i spend any money (which is usually my policy, but this one time i got impatient). i know we sell an appropriate (and highly regarded) matte sealant in the store, so i'll get some this weekend. i already have watercolour pencils, soft-bristle brushes, and pastels for doing the actual faceup. it's gonna be a lot of fun, i think. i'm not gonna do any seam-sanding or body blushing yet. i'll get to all that when i'm doing it for my Xavin. realistically i won't have her ordered by Christmas like i'd hoped for, but at the latest, this spring. if i can't get anything saved up, i'll use my tax refund for her. it's what we did for the others, i just want her sooner, and i was trying to avoid Korea's summer monsoon season as it adds to wait times considerably. i learned that the hard way last time. xD when i'm done with Larxene though, i'll post before and after pics.

on a note unrelated to anything else here (cause that's how i roll) i think i've done more filing in this week than at any other point in the entirety of my employment. X.x i've filed about 2 months of paperwork in the past 3 days, and they were a busy 2 months too. ugh. i don't usually mind, but this week was redonk. like almost repetitive-motion-injury amounts of paperwork. *dies a little*

I'm glad that you were feeling well enough to at least post again. Have a great day off today.
