this weekend was pretty fun. i spent entirely too much time at the comic shop though. xD Kyu was running a Warhammer Fantasy tournament preliminary so Friday night i was up there while he set it up. Saturday i was there from 8:30 to 10 something for running it and cleanup, then Sunday i was there again for socializing since most of our friends didn’t enter Ard Boyz and we hadn’t seen them all weekend. xD i got another unit painted (my Corsairs), and bought some of the things i need to fill out other units, but i still have a good bit to go. this week i think i’ll be painting my smallest remaining units- 10 Harpies, 7 Shades, and 3 Assassins. then the 32 Warriors that have been sitting off to the side for about 2 weeks. xD
it’s the end of the month and Moose still hasn’t finished moving out. kinda annoying since it was just this morning that she decided to actively start looking for a friend with a truck.. instead of waiting for serendipity, which has apparently been her methodology thus far. *sigh* i’m ready to space my stuff out! i even bought a small shelving thingy for doll-stuff storage (to free up the bookcase they’re currently lounging in for actual books) but can’t set it up yet since there’s currently no space for it.
the top of the small shelf thing will also serve well as a place to atand the dolls for photos. it’s been a while since i had anything like that. xD i don’t think everyone will fit in the new cubby thing, but the reclusive ones should be fine there, and if need be a second can be bought for the bigger ones that don’t moosh as well. xD it wasn’t a super-pricey cubby/shelf or anything like that, it’s a WalMart assemble-it-yourself thing. xD i think i can afford a second one if it turns out one isn’t enough.
i did look up more appropriately Mid Eastern names for my future belly dancer, after a day or two Talia seemed wrong. the options i like best are (at this point) Arielle, Soraya, and Lamia. i'm not sure that i'll know her name for certain until she’s been ordered, or possibly even until she’s arrived, but now i'm most inclined to go with Soraya. xD I’m very excited about her, my new computer background is three of the promo shots of her removing her veil, side-by-side like a storyboard. it looks fantastic, even my anti-doll friends think she's stunning, and that's quite an accomplishment. xD
side note: it’s Kyu’s 24th birthday today, happy birthday to him! i think tonight we’ll be celebrating by not having cake, he insisted he didn’t want one. instead we’ll be submitting the pile of stuff that i've been meaning to get to for months. xD it’s loads of comics, and a few trades too, so it should easily be enough to cover at least the first half of the Wonder Woman gauntlet/lasso/tiara set i have coming in soon, which will cost me somewhere between 230 and 300 bucks. that’ll depend on how much of my employee discount will apply to it. my agreement with Kyu was i couldn’t pay for it with my paycheck, so it has to be store credit, and i need it pretty quickly since the thing is due to arrive early October. xD i’ll need to get back to doing combos to earn the rest of what i’ll need, and to possibly fund the rest of my army while i save for Carina. so much to buy, so little income! *spazzes*
my wifey successfully managed to achieve employment in the Ft Worth store of the company Kyu, Moose and i work for. we’re all really excited that she has a job again, it means we can pick back up on our regular outings to Cheesecake Factory with our dolls. xD and since it’s a job so linked with mine, we can see each other at company activities too. the Christmas party this year should be pretty epic now that most of my (local) friends work with me. it’d be more awesome for me if she worked at Central, but living in Ft Worth that one’s more convenient for her, so i guess it’s cool. i can be less selfish this once, i guess. xD
it’s probably a common enough thought, but more often than is probably healthy lately I’ve had the following ‘epiphany’: "you know what would make pretty much EVERYTHING easier? having more money". not exactly a brilliant discovery, right? xD if having more money was as easy as thinking about having more money, there would be a whole different set of problems. i think finding a job that paid me what i deserve would be a step in the right direction, but i fear change, and can’t quite push myself hard enough to really look at anything else just yet.
going to school is something i’m interested in too, but i think i fear debt more than i fear change-i-can't-control, failure, grass, and horses combined (those are kinda my biggest fears) and in my experience, debt is something that comes with college, no matter the planning and preparation beforehand. X.x i have very little money, but i have no debt, so i'm okay with the having very little money. in my mind it’s far better to have a little than to owe a lot. in the interest of actually getting somewhere in my life though, i fully intend to do what it takes to start taking college classes once i can drive and have a car. driving is another thing that scares me, because so much is beyond my control. it’s easier to be a passenger and KNOW i control nothing than to drive and know i control a lot while still at the mercy of anyone else on the road. of course going for Carina will delay the acquisition of a vehicle by a little bit, but it’s still being saved for, just slower. i'll get to that point though, i'm certain of it. i really want to take art classes again, i miss them very much and i figure if i'm going to be taking them i may as well throw in the core ones too and actually go for some kind of FineArts degree. the hard part will be figuring out what type of art class i want to specialize in. most aspects of the creative process excite me, so i can see myself dabbling in a little of everything. xD

Several (unsolocited suggestions)
1. Give Moose the weekend to get her stuff out and if it isn't, unload it onto the front porch. That should be the motivation she might need to actually move out.
2. TCC is cheap. We have paid as we went for all our classes there. it is only $150 a class. I kknow that sounds like a lot but compared to the $1200 a class I'm currently taking loans for at UTA, it is a screaming bargain. You could take some art classes there and some other basics and get your core started while you figure out where you want to transfer. You make such little and are unmarried and would therefore qualify for book koo amounts of financial aid I'm sure. I bet you could go to school for practically nothing.
