14229 / 50000 words. 28% done!
Ahead by two days. I think I'm doing fairly well!
As for what else I've been up to *cough*notmuch*cough* had an uneventful Halloween, round about 25 or so trick or treaters. Not too bad. Pup has nommed the door frame in his room, which sucks. Hair is still green, but now the bleach is showing through in a lot of places so it's more yellow-green. Conclusion: turquoise holds better. Next perhaps I'll do purple. After my hair gets a break. The roots still look like ash. Bothersome.
Jeepu's still not well. It makes me sad to think he may be dying. Been doing housework as I feel like it, and there is much to be done. The boy is in the field all week so it's just me and the critters. Kinda lonely, but good for productivity. I like my me time.
Also! I'll be back East from around December 20th to January 2nd-ish. Woo!

Yep, I live. Alas. Here's what's been going on the last few weeks.
Still have green hair. I've spotted more small places where I didn't green enough. Oops. Still wondering if the roots are gonna keep that ash color.
Adopted a lil' doggie two Saturdays ago. His name is Ringo and he is adorable and rather smart and the lovingest dog ever omg. Also he really really wants to be friends with Reven, who actually tolerates him. Tis good. I have a few pics of him in my bukkit. Couldn't tell ya what kind of pup he is, so we'll go with Grade A American Mutt. Yeah.
Up until this past Saturday we hadn't had a single accident. Buuut then the little bugger nommed a laptop cord while we were playing Marvel Alliance 2. Oops. Replacement's in the mail. Still not sure how it happened as up till then he'd never paid attention to the cord, and also he had a tasty bone sitting in easy reach. Who knows. And then apparently last night the boy left too much food out, so I go in today to take pup for a walk and am greeted by poop. And a shredded doggy bed, for some reason. Bah. Can't really blame the pup for either one though, it's mostly human error. Ah well. Lessons learned, mistakes corrected.
Aside from that, not much going on. The boy's gonna be spending the better part of the next month and a half or so In The Field, so it'll mostly be just me, Little Miss, and The Varmint. Pretty much business as usual, but it sucks not having him here to cuddle at night. Buuut, that's military life for ya.
Also, when people are In The Field, I can hear the big guns going off from the apartment. Is coooool.

Should've posted this Friday, but I was sidetracked. So, my weekend. Went and did the manicure, which was nice. I have pretty silvery nails for a while. Then I decided I wanted to dye my hair a fun color again. Went with 'Kryptonite Green' since it looked like it would be pretty. And it turned into an Epic Quest to find a salon that would actually use the stuff since it's not a salon product omg. Yeah. ( the quest )
So that was the quest. As for the rest of the weekend, we mostly slacked and watched Lord of the Rings. All damn weekend. Yes.
And today! Today was a good day. Tried taking Jeepu to a different place, they replaced some sensor, and so far he's running perfect. Tears of joy, I tell ya. TEARS OF JOY.

So, is my birthday. Is my birthday and I'm not at Dragon*Con. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE?
Yeah. Thanks to the financial bullshit that went down, I can't make it back to Georgia. Not broke, but can't manage a trip like that right now. Thanks ever so much, credit people. Happy fucking birthday indeed.
So, anyone who was wanting to see me there, sorry. I'll miss you. :( Anyone wasn't looking forward to it, aren't you lucky. ;p But in all seriousness, I hope all of y'all who're going have a super wtf_awesome time. I politely demand many pictures. Yes.
At least it's nice and overcast out, so I can be outside for more than five minutes without sweating. 'Course, it's also been raining a lot. Dreary, fine and good, but raining buckets, gaddamn. Figures.
Bah. I'ma go get my nails done here in a bit, I know a good place that does it for cheap. Maybe get my hair done too, if I can find a place. That's not the buzzcut-and-a-blowjob place. D:
Next year, I will be back with a vengeance. Vengeance, I tell ya.

So. My hair's grown out a lil' bit. I've got a good inch or so of dark dark roots showing, and the blue's faded to some sort of bluegreenyellow mishmash. It actually looks kinda shitty. And I still get compliments.

Today I had to be up at 3:45am to drive the boy to base. It was either do this, or he'd have to drive himself, and since he'll be out in the field for the next three days Jeepu would be sitting in some parking lot, and I would be stuck here with no wheels. Neither is a very good option, but oh well. I managed not to crash and kill anyone even though I was pretty much a zombie. On the upside I got home just in time to help a neighbor boost his car so he could get to PT. So that's good. Crashed like whoa but still managed to get up just an hour later than usual.
Now I'm just wondering what I'm gonna do with myself for the next three days. There's only so much housework to be done. >.> In fact I'm not seeing any to be done. Perhaps I'll lose myself in Morrowind again.
In other news, we got Reven a new tree, since her old one got b0rked before the move. She approves. She can dive from the stairs straight to the thing, which is friggin' hilarious to watch.

So last week I accidentally broke one of my big clunky sandals. Oopsie. It's fixable, is what I think (seriously, get me a staple gun and I bet I can fix that sucker), but the boy went pffft and took me shoe shopping. Found a fairly cute pair for cheap, and they feel like the old-ass falling apart ones did when they were new. Back in the Dark Ages, y'know. So I guess that's a win.
Birthday's next week. Might see about getting a manicure. Or a tattoo. Or both. Probably gonna be doing fuck all else otherwise.
This place is a mess and I am going to clean it up. Later.

The Good: The worms have been defeated. Victory is mine.
The Kinda Good I Guess: I'm learning to cook, sorta. It's not much fun.
The Not So Good: Jeepu's gotten worse again. Sometimes he sounds like a rumbly antique. Jerking really bad again too, like before. I don't really know what to do. I want my Jeepu to be better. D:
The Kinda Better: The boy's taking me to Beedos Bido Buffalo Wild Wings tonight, since it's super-cheap boneless wings night. Why do these silly army boys call the place this weird-ass name? o.O

Have just learned that Reven has some form of worms. How the hell did that happen? She's still acting normal at least, so she must not have had them long. In fact she's running around like a little psycho right now, business as usual. But I called a vet, and they want me to bring in a poo sample so they can see what kinda worms it is so they'll know what meds to use or something. So I get to play in the litter box. Whee! D:
But she'll be fine. I'm getting these wormthings dealt with.
Aside from that, business as usual. Laundry time!

Today I am testing my crock pot-no-jutsu. Hopefully it will not be fail. Also on the agenda are laundry, some dishes, bit of trash removal, and checking the mail. I r domesticated bot-person. Also perhaps I'll do some writing or something. Or at least some more Sims. Or a nap. I have the tired for no good reason.

Days like today make me wonder if my husband was replaced with a 12-year-old when I wasn't looking.
Hell, that's probably an insult to 12-year-olds.

I have internets again, finally. Is some pay-as-you-want type that runs slow like dialup. But still, is internet. Tomorrow we get sweet sweet 10Mb goodness. ( yet another clusterfuck of an update )
TL;DR? I'm alive. I am in Oklafrigginhoma (where the wind does indeed come sweepin' down the plains), it is hot, and so far things are fine. Though I may need some sort of "OMG IT'S TOO DAMN HOT" icon. Oh and I have a few pictures of the trip here.

HOKAY, SO. I've delayed posting this for a while because I'm a puss and don't really enjoy the negativity I get when I post things like "Oh hay guys I's engaged lol"... But this is in that same vein and it had to come out sometime. Like, now. Time is short.
( plans under a cut )
Tl;dr I am moving to Texas Oklafuckinghoma. This week (told ya I'm a puss). Going crazy with planning. Am still happy (just not about Oklafuckinghoma). That's how it goes. And that is why I said I may be disappearing for a while.

So as of 4pm Wednesday, I am offically unemployed. Willingly, this time. For the most part. Still a little emo about it. So some friends took me hiking so I could enjoy some splendor, then I saw Star Trek a second time. It's still awesome. Did random hanging out today, which was fun. Had to cut it short though cuz of unrelated drama. Is mostly better now. Stuff is difficult and frustrating. Life as usual.
As I cannot slepe right now, I'm doing laundry. It seriously needed doing. Tomorrow, the plan is to stop by work to pick up the next to last paycheck, then everything's up in the air. Should probably try to clean up the cave a bit but I doubt that's happening. Ehehe. Saturday it's hopping on a plane to Oklahoma (where the wind comes sweepin' down the plains)* again. Fucking Oklahoma. After that, up in the air again. Likely to disappear for a while. Won't be missed. Not much anyway, y/y? ^^;
Ahahaha so dizzy.
*It's like a compulsion, I swear. A stupid compulsion.

Aaaaarrrrg, busy work was busy. Stupidity! Some cranky fucktard tried to break one of the u-scan registers because he almost lost a dime. Randomly! At the end of my shift I bought a $5 scratchoff on a whim. Won $60. Profit!

So... actually I'll start with Friday. I was off work, as was Dad cuz he gets Fridays off now. So we sat on the deck and shot off some rounds with the .22... or one of 'em anyway, I forget how many we actually have. I shot good, and he was all 'rifle match tomorrow come shoot? :D' So we got up ass-early and went to his gun club's range for this match. And we showed up a good hour and a half early cuz he'd mixed up the time. Oops.
So, this match. It was fun. Just sit at a bench and pop the targets, 20 minutes to hit 25 circles. And the results?
I GOT SECOND PLACE. BOOYAH. I was one point away from tying for first, with one of the best shooters in the club. Matched him at bullseyes though, w00t. And I won $45 to boot. And and I'm apparently the first girl to win (or place really high) in one of their matches. And none of them will shut up about how well I did. XD
But yeah. I can shoot. This whole thing prolly counts as a brag but why the hell not? I hardly ever have something to brag about.
Then it rained a lot, I worked and it was busy as hell, and afterwards I slept terribly. That was Saturday.
Yesterday? STAR TREK. Mom's been geeking out about it as much as I have, so we all went for Mother's Day. It was omgawesome. Seriously. Sister's supposed to come to town next weekend and we'll probably go see it again. And I may go with Eddie when he gets back in town. I liked it that much.
That's pretty much it. Overall a great weekend, yay.

So, I've been lazy. Here's my clusterfuck of an update.
Epic roadtrip was epic. I do not like Oklahoma. Got directed to the wrong damn family day thing, but everything else was friggin' awesome. So damn good to see the boy again. Wore a dress and was pretty. Had a nice manicure and eyebrow waxing (fucking OW!). Got it from an ex Marine, such badassery. Could not drive back, as rental places don't do long distance one-way rentals. However, had a Mazda 5 for the weekend, which I loved. Wanna try to get it again when I go back. Anyway. Was gonna take a bus back. 24-hour ride, bleh. Acquired an Ipod for entertainment on said ride. Missed the bus. Took a plane for the first time in nearly a decade. It was fun. Saw a bit of the Dallas/Ft. Worth airport, and got to ride the speedytrain in Atlanta again, finally. HELL YES.
Worked. Hung out with Jen a helluva lot. Good times. Have been Simming entirely too much. Got back into Arcanum. Again. Helped Eliza move out of the apartment. No more apartment, alas. Recycled close to a year's worth of booze bottles. Fun! Almost got a tattoo. Waiting till later. Still haven't cleaned up. Got back in touch with Jeri, w00t. Need to work on same with other friends, seriously. I suck, you guys. May take up knitting. At the very least will play at it. I has pretty yarn and stabby sticks.
Last day of work is the 20th, because I can. Will miss the coworkers. Retrieving the boy from the hell that is Oklahoma weekend after that. Afterwards, slacking, trip to Gatlinburg, raid on White Water (first waterpark ever woo!), raid on Six Flags, and hopefully raid on Lake Winnie. June will be busy.
