We're also lacking curtains and pillows to help bring the room together. Right now I just have basic furiture and some really cool koi sculptures sitting on my coffee table Just got those actually. See these [link] ? Yes, those are mine. Lovely little things, I adore them.

As my stuff gets here on monday so does our copy of the P90X workout which Jeff and I are going to start and I'm excited. It's going to be tough and we're going to be sore for a very long time but we will look amazing Lately I've been running and I really suck at it lol. I'll still have to keep up on running but this will help me even more.

Also coming on monday- CHLOE!!!!! I'm excited DDD She'll be here about 10 days or so. We're going to have fun!

It'll suck if I get a job that has inconsistent hours but I'll work with it.

I kind of want a retail job at a really clothes store like Armani Exchange or Banana Republic so I can get the employee discount, stock up on clothes, land a better job at a desk or something and quit the retail job that probably only pays minimum wage and has me working all sorts of different hours of the day.
and that's my master plan

We just got our living room set yesterday and it looks amazing. Still lacking my heirloom chairs that I'm getting from my mom that I'm only going to be able to fit one of in the living room when they get here. We're also lacking the decor like pillows, paintings and the koi sculptures I am having made for me. The living room looks much better though. We're thinking about getting a bowl of goldfish.
Upstairs we have a new mattress which feels heavenly. Not much to say about it because it's not much to look at- just feels great.

I'm being really slow at making the koi pond paintings for the living room. I've sketched up one canvas so far :\

I still need a job. It's really bothering me. I would like to attend college while I'm here and I definitely can't afford it without a job. I want to go to University of Hawaii and Manoa under the Art & Art History program which covers graphic design and visual communications. Then we're probably moving back to Virginia for a while so I'll try to finish up my degree at Virginia Tech, which would be awesome because that's an awesome school.
but I need a job!

The first thing that came to mind that would fit that color scheme, besides the lame thoughts of tropical flowers, was goldfish. I told this idea to a friend and she said koi would be cool and that is a much better idea. I got a little more creative and decided it would be a 3 or 4 canvas painting of a koi pond with maybe the paw of a little kitty dipping her paw in, spread out on one of my walls. Then I thought of that sculpter I mentioned in a previous journal ([link]) and I thought I might comission her to make 1 or 2 koi fish scultures for the coffee table when I get the chance.
I am very excited

So yeah those are my ideas for the living room. It'll be simple but also cool and energetic.

As for the other rooms... well I'm not sure I'm going to get too crazy with those but I'm going to try for a green and white with dark wood in our bedroom. That's it. I don't really care about the rest of the house. I was thinking about planting a garden in our tiny backyard. I already have some hanging flower pots that I bought today. Some patio furniture would be nice and we're definitely getting a decent grill.

I bought some more oil paint colors for my koi pond idea and some charcoal pencils to sketch it out. I forgot to buy more canvases though. Oh well.

Btw we're stealing internet from some poor dude who didn't set up the password protection. His internet must suck now.

There is so much storage space in this house, I'm not sure what to do with all of it. It bothers me that I have a few cabinets that I haven't filled yet and I still have a empty pantry. In the master bedroom there's 2 closets (one consists of only shelves) and I have no idea how to organize my clothes and I definitely don't have enough and we're also getting a dresser. There's extra storage everywhere in this house. Maybe we'll fill it someday.
Right now we have temporary furniture until our stuff from Virginia gets here in April. The temporary bed sucks ass. We bought a blow up bed to replace the mattress on the box spring because it sucks so bad. Yesterday we went to 'Slumber World' to look at mattresses and as soon as Jeff gets his bonus, which is hopefully sometime this week, we're getting one. Our old bed will go in the guest bedroom.

I bought a Rachel Ray cook book so I can start getting more creative with my meals and I can start getting ideas for planning meals. Planned meals is something I grew up with my mom doing. It helps with the grocery list, might save money from randomly gathering food you might or might not eat and solves the problem of wondering what you're going to eat that night. Seems like a good idea right? Well this is a strange concept to Jeff and he's not sure if it'll work. I don't see how it can't.

Oh, I am not getting my cats Sage and Zia from my parents because it would cost way too much money to send them here to Hawaii. In three years they'll be 8 years old and it wouldn't be fair to make them change households that late in their life. So we just have Thrall now who is living with my in-laws and is finally neutered. We'll probably get another cat but I want a wedge head siamese and that's just about impossible to find in Hawaii so it'll probably be a while unless I give in. I'll try not to though lol. I'll try to wait until we move back to the mainland so I can buy from a breeder who has cats who are from Zia's bloodline. Also they would be less expensive because the breeder owes us.

I cannot wait to put furniture in this house.

We had to find a car as soon as possible so we didn't have to pay for those expensive rental cars. On the third day we gave up trying to find a cheapcheap car and got one of the first cars we looked at which was by no means cheap- a 05 black cherry special edition Shinka RX8, that was still in our price range. Beautiful car and definitely no buyers remorse.
We also needed a house so after taking a look at the military housing available, we decided it was the only way to go because the houses here are pretty shitty unless you're rich. The house we're going to accept tomorrow is a large 3 bedroom house with 2 1/2 bathrooms and a garage and it's so pretty! The only thing I don't like is the floors which they put down because they're cheap and easy to clean- linoleum that looks like sticker tiles and looks like it belongs in a hospital or a old person's home. Ew! Surely there was a better looking alternative. But we'll put rugs down.

Bah! I feel spoiled. Nice house, nice car. Also we're staying at the hilton resort.
I'm going to steal this bed.

I've had so much japanese food in the past few days... of course it's everywhere lol. It amuses me when they ask at the restaurant if we need a fork... and back at home they ask if we want chopsticks. Lolz.

I thought about the contents of my meager portfolio, which happen to be located in Chloe's parents' house at the moments, (I'll have to retrieve them somehow) but I was thinking about hanging up some of my paintings in my new house and thought, I don't really want a painting of a red shark or a watercolor of a syringe filled with blood hanging up in my living room So I decided I want to create new paintings that would look nice decorating house.
but I lack the supplies. also I don't think it'd be a good idea to create a slow drying oil painting right before we move :\ .....on WEDNESDAY!!! Cannot wait to get off that plane in Honolulu.

I want to decorate my new house ;;

also this girl ...isn't her work just gorgeous?? I would really like to purchase one of her sculptures to decorate my house with.

]]> ~ichigogamu http://ichigogamu.deviantart.com/journal/22919865/ http://ichigogamu.deviantart.com/journal/22919865/ Sat, 31 Jan 2009 09:16:03 PST I'd like to find a job, see if the colleges there interest me, make new friends, work on the image of my household, explore, etc. and it's like everything is frozen right now and I can't move forward until we get started there.

I have actually been doing job searches but it's mostly discouraging. There's not really any good jobs for a 19 year old with hardly any college behind her. I found a really cool job that involved advertisement and art but of course it involved more experience than I had to offer. The best thing I found was 'desk clerk' which is alright I guess. I'd rather something like that then work at a clothes store and I'm definitely never working with food again so...
I need that degree.

As for school, I think I'd like to major in visual communications and minor in graphic design or just dual major in both which is probably what's going to happen. I just think I'll have more opportunities available. I don't think I'd settle for a school that didn't offer a good program for either of those but we'll see... I really want to get things started and I'm in Hawaii for 3 years. I want better job opportunities, I want to accomplish the goal I've had for so long that's just keeps being put off. I feel like I'm letting myself down. As for the career part, well... moving every 2-3 years, it'll be hard to get one together but that's alright with me.

I kind of hope we end up with military housing. [link] (look at Dorris Miller Park, Hale Moku and Hokulani) it just looks really nice. Lol they remind me of living on base when I was a kid where all the houses looked the same and you could walk everywhere. I think military housing is our best bet. If we find an apartment it probably won't be nearly as nice and we'll probably have to pay more for the extra things. In military housing, the only bills we'll have to pay are cable and internet.
And I can't wait to fill up the house with my own furniture and decor and get rid of the falling apart hand-me-downs

We need to move now

]]> ~ichigogamu http://ichigogamu.deviantart.com/journal/22689030/ http://ichigogamu.deviantart.com/journal/22689030/ Tue, 20 Jan 2009 08:21:22 PST Sometimes I even forget to eat until later in the evening when my husband decides he's hungry. So I eat about once a day. Of course that messes up my metabolism and that combined with no physical activity has made me gain weight and I don't look as good as I think I should (please don't tell me I look fine- I'm not looking for that, I trying to work on fixing myself)

So last night I decided to try to make myself do stuff (I even googled motivating myself which sort of helped). I woke up at nine this morning, which may not seem like it, but it's a start. I put some make up on, straightened my hair and put some real clothes on, rather than pajamas and a robe. I'm also going to do little things I need to do like get base stickers for the junky little toyota I have to drive now and get my dependent ID so I can see the doctor with proof of health insurance (yay active duty military benefits for dependents). And while I may have missed breakfast (I really hate it actually, I can't bring myself to want to chew something in the mornings), I can still have a decent lunch and I'll make sure to eat something else later at least. I'll head to the gym sometime and even hit the tanning booth so I don't burn as much when we move to Hawaii.

And that'll scratch a couple things off of my to-do list.

I've also got to stop this procrastinating thing.

So I don't know if I can get a good job anymore and I don't know if I'll be able to go to the school I want for the next 3 years. Maybe longer. Who fucking cares.
I'm pissed

They were very good... I just got irritated chewing them which is strange. I don't know why it bothers me to chew food early in the morning, but I'd much rather drink a chocolate slim fast. I used to do that actually.. I had my mom buy me a few packs of slim fast for my breakfast. I'd do it again but I never wake up before noon.
Yeah so that's one strange quirk of mine.

My kitty (Thrall) is getting big. Also annoying at times but he is a kitten.. they do that. He always wants to get in the bathtub with us but freaks out at the water, it's quite humorous. He can't stand closed doors and always has to be near people. Now he's trying to get on top of my monitor, but I can tell you with his lack of agility he will never be able to. He reminds me of my cat Sage and a past cat of ours named Maxx. I would take pictures of him but I don't have a card for my camera.. I suppose I should go buy one.

I've been getting personal training at Bally's gym and right now my arms really really hurt. They aren't sore.. they're in pain more than I would like. I can't straighten out my arms right now. Last week I could hardly walk because we worked on my lower body and my legs were so sore it hurt to get up and down from things. Thankfully after my lower body workout yesterday my legs didn't get sore which means this is working- good. I have one more session and then I probably can't afford them anymore at least not until I get a job. I like it though, it's a good idea and I would probably have a hard time pushing myself. I would never go to the gym by myself and say to myself 'hey let's do stair steps with weights!' never going to happen. But there is other stuff I would do so I'll do that while I can't afford personal training lol.

So Jeff's parents are coming over this weekend and I'm not sure why since it won't be even a week when we go over to their place. They are also staying in our apartment. I'm not looking forward to that.. it's going to be really crowded. We do need to clean and do laundry and I think we're going to buy a better vacuum today (yay!) and some food.

I got Jeff to like the Cheesecake Factory and now he craves it- score!
So his parents are taking us out to eat there tomorrow.
And while I love the Cheesecake Factory, it's not my favorite restaurant anymore- I really like Otani, a hibachi grill. I always get fillet mignon which is always excellent but it's really the fried rice and veggies I love so much. Well mostly just the onions and zucchini. Is that weird? They're so good! And I love the salad with ginger salad dressing. Even the sweet tea is so good.
We did go to a hibachi grill in North Carolina that I didn't like as much. They gave a lot of fried rice but it was so bland because they didn't cook it with vegetables or eggs and the ginger salad dressing was off and the clear soup just didn't taste as good as Otani's. But we did get sushi there and I ordered spring rolls not really knowing I was getting sushi and it was actually pretty good. Who knew I would like something with raw salmon in it? I can't eat very much before it becomes gross to me but this was pretty good and very fresh.

so I'm thinking about going back to bed lol

I joined a gym. Maybe paying for it will help me get motivated. It's at Bally Fitness and because they gave me 4 half off and one free personal training session for enrolling I took that. After the 5 sessions are done I probably won't continue them because they're really expensive, but I'll get ideas and a good start. Tomorrow is my first time.

This past weekend I had my reserve weekend at Little Creek. Well saturday was boring indoc. Sunday I didn't really do anything but sit there but it was at my actual command and was a little bit more exciting. We PT'd in the afternoon which I was worried about but it was free PT so it was alright. My legs had a bunch of bruises on them from not being used to it. Kinda gross and I was about to freak out but Jeff with his medical school training assured me it was alright.
Still don't know when I'm starting more school.

It's just so different, it's uncomfortable.
we spent Thanksgiving there too. Thanksgiving dinner back home is a somewhat formal event... well not formal, but we dress the table nicely and use cloth napkins and good china. At my in-laws' it's grab and reach over everybody and sit where ever, whether it be at the table or on the couch.
...and there were no mashed potatoes. lol
there were also no homemade pies
they did have southern food like pastries and I think it's called 'collards'(?) which were icky.. a lot of them didn't even like them lol. made no sense.
and I don't think a sweet roll and a yeast roll is the same thing.
It didn't feel like Thanksgiving though

...but the corn was sooo good.

I don't know.. maybe I'm a snob for feeling that way, but I feel so homesick I can't help it.

I did meet Jeff's best friend from NC and he was nice. He was a lot like Jeff, maybe a little more country, but not too bad. He was one of the few I could imagine Jeff hanging out with (lol a lot of rednecks down there). We went bar hopping but it didn't work out too well because most of them didn't allow people under 21 in. I enjoyed our time when we hung out with him.

I also got Thrall, my new chocolate point siamese kitten. He's so cute! He's probably one of the most outgoing cats I have ever met and he adjusted so well to everything. He went to my in-laws house for a week and settled immediately and didn't shy away from the huge crowd they had for Thanksgiving. We brought him home to VB and he settled in just great again. lol He's not a very agile kitty though.. he falls off the chairs a lot and has a hard time jumping on the bed. So silly...
And for not being very big cat fans, Jeff's parents sure did like him a lot

I'm pretty sure I didn't get the job at the Buckle. I went shopping anyway lol
kind of bummed. I really want a job. I don't understand why I'm not getting hired. I think my applications look great and I'm pretty sure I did really good on my interviews.
I'm not going to do anymore job hunting until after the holidays.. it'll be easier.

]]> ~ichigogamu http://ichigogamu.deviantart.com/journal/21657407/ http://ichigogamu.deviantart.com/journal/21657407/ Tue, 25 Nov 2008 01:14:17 PST
I've done a little Christmas shopping for the family. Still at a loss of what to get my grandma and I have so many ideas for Jeff but I can't do them all lol. I was sad to hear that my brother no longer wears shirts that have stupid funny sayings or pictures on them (which are fun to shop for btw) but wears name brand clothes (not as fun for a gift). I got him a cool non-clothing gift which I was satisfied with. I think I'll let Jeff think of gifts for his family because I don't even know where to start.

I have a job interview today at Buckle that I hope I get and I'll have an excuse to buy clothes and I love their clothes. I need winter clothes anyway though lol. I applied to them one or two months ago online and I nearly forgot about it (I hate online applications), but they called me and scheduled an appointment so it sounds good to me. I really really want this job for many reasons. The first two reasons being a social life and new clothes lol. I'm probably going to go buy a bunch of clothes anyway (I have no winter clothes!) I just wish I had somebody to shop with

The thing that I hate about this military training base is that I had very few friends before that I really liked, like White Aimee (lol names like this happen when you have more then one of a last name in your military class) and Wynn, but they left to their new commands. I want to hang out with them and my friends back home. And then there are the people I met that I wished I had gotten to know better
There is a girl that we used to hang out with that's a reservist and while she's not my favorite person (she's kind of really... strange... and tends to be overdramatic and I like to be laid back) but she's thinking of moving down here and being my roommate while Jeff is in Cuba. I wouldn't mind. I hate being alone!

lol it's 4:13 in the morning. My sleeping schedule is totally off.

Cannot wait to pick up Thrall on Wednesday. So excited!

I also got a pretty check in the mail aka my bonus and that's a life saver. We can get out of debt AND have Christmas lolz. So with that, well we've already bought a nice 40" TV and a bookcase, but we're also getting a new bed frame and a dresser.
Also the Buckle called me and I have a job interview coming up. I applied a long time ago.
This is looking good!

I think it'll feel good. Feeling like I'm doing something important. Being at this command might put me on a ship for a short amount of time or even somewhere like in the middle east. I'm not really worried about it.

As for the kitty thing... I have 3 cats already with my parents, but as far as I know I'm giving Kahlua to Chloe. While I'm here in Virginia I might adopt a little kitty with Jeff. 3 cats is just fine. I need a kitty I think.

I got my beautiful mac finally sent to me here in Virginia. I missed it so much especially because Jeff always kicked me off his precious laptop >< and I was bored all the time and ran out of movies to watch because his collection SUCKS. Installed WoW of course and it literally took 5 hours to download all the patches. So basically I sit and play WoW all day because there's certainly nothing to do, not even watch TV.
Well I clean too, thankfully.

Anyway, I feel like a complete bum and somehow I remembered that the Art Institutes have an online division from Pittsburgh. So that's great. I just requested information from them. I think I might take online classes while I'm back in Missouri instead of commuting to Kansas City every other day. Maybe, I'll even start them while I'm living here. I'd really like to go to an actual school though so hopefully Jeff's next orders are near one.

I really should draw... I have no pencils though. I hate drawing in pen.

The NAS Oceana Stables (base stables) are hiring so I'm going to find out what for and maybe apply there.

The employee at VS looked over my application to make sure I had everything filled out right which I took as a good sign. At AE they asked me if I wanted to fill out the application now or later. I said now, so she hand me a clip board and a pen and I filled it out on the store couches. Very nice sign. An assistant manager with an awesome british accent came to talk to me to ask if I would be available for the holidays and because we just moved here, are poor and our families live far away, I said yes. I finished the applicaton and handed it to her and she said "we have interviews tomorrow at 3 and saturday at 3. Would you be able to come do an interview tomorrow?" and I said yes.
I was done filling out applications for the day, thinking getting an interview was enough of an accomplishment.
K- next day, interview. Waited on the couches with two other people for the manager. When she finally came to us we sat on some of the mall benches by Dillards and she asked us a few questions together which was strange to me but alright, whatever, that's cool. She was looking for creativeness and outgoing, not afraid to talk behavior (I suspect), which believe it or not, when it comes to jobs, I can force myself to be bubbly and outgoing, but not in social situations... what a shame.
She asked us what we did now and why we were applying at AE. Of course I said I was in the Navy Reserves as an Intelligence Specialist which sounds awesome but it's really boringand I was applying to American Eagle because I needed a job. She asked me a few questions about that, like what exactly we did and I answered of course.
One other real question that she picked from a list. A really strange question. A -psychological one- "If you were a part on a car, what would you be and why?"
I only had to think about this one for a few moments before my mind came with something pretty awesome
the other two came up with stuff like "the gas pedal, because I would make the car go" or "the engine"
mine was different and more creative I think. Corny, I must say- "I would be the air conditioner because I like to be cool" I did the cute little rolly eye thing and they laughed. Good right? I was proud of that corny little line.
The point is to be cute, outgoing and creative. I think I got it enough. At least more then the other two.
So the employee discount there is 40% which is fucking amazing. What store does that? That alone makes me want to work there. The hours are alright, I can deal with that. I can't imagine it being hard- it's what? folding clothes and selling them?
She said that she just needed to check our references and if she doesn't call us back by next wednesday we're probably not hired. Cool, cool.
On that, we parted and I decided I ought to get some more applications just in case so I picked up one from Forever XXI which is a brand new store in the mall so it was hiring. Uh.. really not me. Really cute clothes, I'd shop there but it just didn't seem me. I also applied at the Limited. Never shopped there before but I like the classy style and I wouldn't mind shopping or working there. I also thought about applying to Macy's but I ran into a manager at the Limited, who I handed my application to. She was like "Oh I thought you would be coming up to pick up an application" I guess I had that written on my face or something. Then she told me that she thought they were having an interview on Friday at 3 but she would have to go check so she disappeared in the back and came out after a few minutes and told me it was at 1:30 and asked if she would see me there. "Of course" *smile* On the way out we struck up a conversation about the weather outside and how it's different from Missouri or Pennsylvania which is where she lived before. Very nice.

So that has been my experience so far.. I really hope I get the job at AE, wouldn't mind the Limited though. If those fail I'll just have to fill out more applications.

One other thing that has nothing to do with this:
My husband made me sit down and learn to play World of Warcraft on a character I created on his account. Well some time passed and he informed me that I had been playing for 3 hours. I continued on to 4 hours before we went to bed at 4:30am
I actually liked it. So I guess I get my own account when my computer arrives here. haha o.O

The new Elks Lodge is coming along quite fine. The room we had the reception in was finished of course and was probably the best place I could have my reception. Very elegant. The tables were topped with purple and white tulips in square glass vases which looked really neat. That's really the only decoration we had and all we needed. I had cloth napkins and tablecloths and china and crystal glasses just like I wanted. We were worried about the crowd turnout but it turned out just perfect.

Then Jeff left the next day for Virginia again.
but he found us an apartment and I'm going to live with him until he has to go to Cuba
it's a very nice place- [link]
I'm leaving this Saturday and I really just can't wait to see him again but I'm really excited about us having our own place for at least a little while for now.

but I hate being away from him. I'm dreading Cuba. ><

and then he has to go back to VA on sunday

I'm glad to be back home though
I don't want to have to miss him though

We decided not to have a big wedding at all. We're just going to get married in the courthouse and have a reception in each state. Less of a hassle and it was too short of notice to have a wedding I wouldn't be at least a little disappointed in.
And just about everybody can celebate with us

We're doing this September 12th...

that's so soon :3

So I'm on mandatory study but that's okay because we have a brief due tomorrow anyway.
Not that any of you know what I'm doing in school- it's because you can't know. Sorry.

Whatever.

I believe the official date for the wedding will be November 29th. Right after Thanksgiving so everybody will be on a break from school and be able to come because it's like... a day and half drive from home. ><
We found a place- A Bed & Breakfast in Williamsburg, VA. Small, but beautiful and intimate.
I think it'll be unique.
Excited about that

I miss home
but I'll be there at the end of next month. Hopefully anyway, if I pass OPINTEL C School. ><

I'm kind of frustrated though... I went to Barnes & Noble and they had these beautiful notebooks with designs made from an Art Institute. I bought one with blank paper that I could draw on but... I think I forgot how to draw D:
Nothing just comes to me like it did. Maybe I can draw from a photo reference but that has never really been my favorite.. maybe get ideas from a reference but recreating a photo is not my thing.
I haven't drawn in forever. It's hard to put something to paper. I need to get into it again.


I'll try at least

I'm going to the Secondhand Serenade concert this friday if anybody has ever heard of them.

But the person that makes this place okay is my love, Jeff, whom I'm getting married to probably this October and I'm really happy.
<3
I know that is totally unexpected but that's okay. lol

oh and I would change the my mood on this think but this computer is retarded to I can't.

It's difficult. I hate being kept up in my room and when I'm out I'm not really in the mood to draw.

But last friday, in class of course, I drew up my tattoo which is now located on my left shoulder blade.
very pretty.
I'll post pictures later.

very nice place.
So much different from bootcamp. All nice and laid back. Real mattress. It's still shitty but I only have to deal with 1 roommate instead of 50. Really gotta work on getting that room clean. It's kind of gross.

I have 919 deviations in my messages. I'm debating on what to do with them.
Holy shit.

i'm at chloe's house, sittin on her bed.
we hear some car wheels screeching outside and i say something along the lines of "well somebody's driving crazy out there"
her brother alex pops in the room "i think somebody just hit your car and took off!"
so we run outside
and there's my car, sitting in the ditch, about 20 ft from where i had originally parked it- on the side of the road (right side, thank God), because everytime i park in their driveway i tend to have to move my car so somebody else can get out.
the back left side of it was completely smashed in and the shattered pieces were all over the road.
the drunken bastard (assuming he was drunk) was driving about 60 mph down the street in an old 80s mustang, smashed into my car, kept going, stopped a little ways down the road and then took off running.
dunno if they've been caught but the police are working on it.

i'm getting a new car though.
that's exciting
but it'll probably be a few before we know how much the insurance will cover before we can go make a purchase.

funny thing is, i asked my dad to take the nissan before i went to chloe's
he said no
haha
good thing right?
but i'll be driving it to school anyway

also
we tried to go clubbing last night in warrensburg (chelsie, chloe, katrina, jesse and i) and we got there and apparently it's all closed for thanksgiving until the 25th which happened to be the next day, today.
so we went to taco bell.
exciting times
lol

other than that
i went to go see enchanted with a bunch of friends
it was pretty good
dorky
but it was supposed to be

anything else?
not really.

but i finally found something to do my art project over which is close ups of athletes. something to get a good practice of anatomy and action and something good to add to my portfolio.
now i just need reference pictures that aren't going to kill me with a complicated background.

hey i memorized a few lines of the sailor's creed.
it should be easy to do the rest... i just haven't done so yet.
what will be really hard is memorizing the 11 general orders of a sentry and being able to name them off by number.

only 3 weeks left of school, not including next week because, well, i only have one day that week.

i hate weekends. i have nothing ever to do unless i go somewhere out of town which lately is never.
i want to get out of here.
i can't stand this place.

]]> ~ichigogamu http://ichigogamu.deviantart.com/journal/15436018/ http://ichigogamu.deviantart.com/journal/15436018/ Fri, 09 Nov 2007 15:06:54 PST
anyway
some bad times rolling around. some of it, but very little, to do with me but most of it not, but hey, it makes me sad to see my friends feeling down and there's not a freakin thing i can do about it.
that's life i guess.
like to keep optimistic though.

i am in need of an idea for an art project, well, more like 4 art projects. they all need to link together somehow. they're to be done in charcoal and on a big ass canvas.
i'd prefer it to be a simple idea
any help out there?
i'm at a blank.
:\

so tonight i was supposed to go leave for chicago but i'm not.
and the main reason for that is because one of the reasons i was going was to see tyler and he has to go to indiana to get his car fixed. oh joy.
so i'm going in december where not only will tyler be there, but i won't miss any school, i'll be able to stay there longer, and i'll have more money saved up (maybe)
and thennnn
right when i get back from chicago, i go straight to florida to spend christmas with my family.
joyness

december is fun filled!
well.. the fun in florida is limited because it's my family but i'll try my best ok?

the saddest thing-
so i my Naval recruiting station that i go to preps us DEP recruits for bootcamp so we won't feel silly and clueless
and they meet once a month
and this month it was yesterday
and the commanding officer showed up on short notice.
my first time.
as if it weren't nerve racking enough.
and he was all anal
but that's not the sad part.
we worked on marching
and after 4 years of marching band, i couldn't seem to do a freakin left face while forward marching.
how messed up is that?

*salute* DEP Recruit Simon requesting permission to step ashore.

permission granted.

yea so i got done scanning 83 pages worth in one of the albums i have (somewhere around 3 hours worth of boring work) and i picked up the 2nd album (thankfully the only other) and it's like twice the size.
but a lot of it is stuff i'll be typing.
oh joy.
but somehow that sounds better than typing. something to actually do besides wait for a stupid scan to read a picture.
ugh
they should make them faster.

once i have that crap done i'll have a shitload off my chest and i'll even get paid ($10 an hour)
i want to just skip to that part lol

pretty angry when i saw my work schedule for next month. i work like. 2 days a week.
now wtf
how am i supposed to pay to drive to sedalia every other day when i work freakin 2 days a week on minimum wage?
craziness
but i think i might be able to manage.
thankfully i only have a month and a half left of making that trip

i'd like to make a schedule for myself. i'm very bad at sticking to schedules if it's something by my choice. like... making time to do homework. i really should do homework and i really need to but i'll either go "eh whatever" or something cooler will pop up and just about anything is more fun than homework lol
but i need to make up a time to study and do homework and do different work outs
there's like 3 different sets of workouts for upper body i can do at the gym which i should do each 2 times a week
i also need to start running a lot
and ab workouts will be wonderful yes
and i will be so sexy right?
should probably work on swimming too.
yes.

too much going on in my head and too little going on in real life
i hate it.
and i'm ready to be done and get outta here

passed all my physical tests
got a job as an IS (intelligence specialist) which happens to have a $20,000 bonus
i leave for boot camp february 26, 2008 which is ironically enough in great lakes, IL which is right by chicago. that'll be 8 weeks
then i move to virginia beach to go to the A school to learn about this IS job of mine. then... ill finally be starting the rest of my life in chicago.
and... i'll have enough money to pay for it plus all those military benefits you get, ya know?

how many of you knew that'd be coming? haha
i know- SURPRISE!

going to chicago next month on the 9th-12th
that'll be exciting. not as exciting as it was originally going to be but you know.. gotta live with it ya know? it's chicago!

btw MEPS (military entrance processing station) suck
and i have a huge bruise from where i got blood drawn
i had sign, initial and date so many papers...
everybody who looked at where i was born (santa maria, CA) had to ask how the hell i ended up in missouri but they all understood very well when i answered 'my dad is in the air force'
it was quite the experience
had to do weird stuff in my underwear with a bunch of other girls. lol. true story.

that was way fun.

2nd day of work. sitting there. doing nothing.
i think i'll do my homework
and tonight i actually have to watch a movie for psych.
which uh i was supposed to do last night but uh... i got distracted.
poor dean
i think he understands though.

i've definitely had an interesting and exciting week.
only one bad thing too.

i have a date tomorrow

man... i have these two bruises right on my arm from a freakin chair. i don't usually bruise that easily. that was a heavy chair though.

i'm kind of sick but i feel like i'm getting over it.
i sure didn't get very much sleep last night because of it.
ugh

i still have those albums to do....

>3
all i will say here is that i want to go back now... really bad.

and if that wasn't good enough, i finally got a job. i'm working at the community center now. pretty much the same kind of job that i had at the library only i don't shelve so it's even more sitting around.
but i don't think i'm getting enough hours so i'll either ask for more or i'll have to get a 2nd job. maybe i'll be a lifeguard or something.

but of course with all the good things there's always bad things...

so... i always lock my car door but for some reason i didn't this time when i went to the library to tell everybody about my new job. i come back and my purse isn't there....
*mother fucker*
so while tracing my steps back to the community center to see if i lost it, i get a call from someone who says they found it in an alleyway behind the bar and it has a checkbook in it. ><
!!!!!!
i tell the guy to take it to the library and i'd meet him there.
the mother fuckers stole my wallet and my ipod amongst other things unimportant and cheap.
my wallet with my license, $30 and ssn card and the ipod
.......
......... DDDDDx RAWRRRRRR!!!!

so this morning... i got a new drivers license and filed a police report.

and my dad had better get me a new ipod because technically he didn't buy it.. it came free with my mac.

other than that my week is going great
i have a date on friday.

): i miss my wallet. i liked it a lot.
i need a new one now.

this morning our drawing I instructor was sick so we had no class.
wouldn't it be wonderful if i knew that before i left the house to attend the 2 hour class because i happen to live an hour away.
dammit.
3 hours to do absolutely nothing because it isn't as if this town has anything to do. especially alone. who wants to hang around town alone?
ugh!

i had a dream the other night that myself and a few friends (although there were a few i only remember chloe) were roadtripping in illinois for some unknown reason and we decided randomly to go to chicago. that was exciting. and in the dream i tried to call tyler but he didn't answer and he wasn't online (for some reason i had magical internet access on this 'roadtrip'. but we did set up to stay with keith and kristina.
i also remember a part where i was sitting alone at a restaurant trying to call tyler and i had a coat on (was it winter?) and when i left i had a handful of unorganized hangers i kept dropping.
weird.
and that's pretty much it.
my dream never actually made it to chicago because i woke up.
i hate that. the best part of the dream never comes and i wake up and go 'OMFG CHICAGO!!!... wait... no... dammit...'
*sigh*

these people behind me are playing their ringtones... i dunno if i find it annoying or not.

i have terms to do but that won't take long so psh.

i think chloe and i are going to columbia on friday which is cool. definitely don't mind. something to do. plenty of eye candy yanno. haha.

i looked at my facebook message inbox last night and found the first messages between tyler and i before we talked on aim.
april 15th. what's that... 5 months i've been talking to him...? pretty much everyday too. on the phone but mostly online... our schedules are too busy (well his is) to talk on the phone too much which sucks lol.
wow.
just thought i'd throw that out.

hey- crazy bitch. the only song by buck cherry i can stand... just because i find it funny.
omg not the 'adultproof' ringtone. that hurts...
sorry.

anyway... hmm... i cleaned my room just on a whim monday afternoon. i wish i could get motivated to do stuff i actually need to do because i have a ton of shit i need to get done.
also, i need a job.
i need to finish those albums i was commissioned to do
i need to work on scholarships
look more into joining the reserves or guard
e-mail my rep. from AI
..and i dunno what else but i know there's a lot more... oh i have a list...
oh i need to make a plan to budget better, plan for a trip to chicago in december and i guess that's it... but i know i left something out and i always remember it when i can't write it down.

going to starbucks every school day isn't really a good plan when you want to save but it makes my dad much more tolerable.
and then.... tonight i'll have freakin algebra for 3 hours straight with a bunch of idiots and i'll depress myself by thinking and over analyzing things that absolutely do not have anything to do with class. and then i'll end up trying to call tyler after class and then he won't answer and i'll get even more sad and then he'll call me back and i'll get super happy and then i'll realize i'm not in chicago a couple minutes after the phone call ends and i'll get depressed again.

i have problems.

reasons to want to go to chicago:
-it's freaking chicago. duh.
-new life- student housing, new environment, new friends, new situations i've never been able to experience before
-it's my fucking future (pretty sure)
-i like my friends up there, i can probably actually spend time with them too ):
-no more hick towns (omg yes!)
-no guy seems worth it right here but maybe there's somebody in chicago for me

maybe i should start on my US History terms...

omg the girl beside me stitches across her wrist
o.o;

ok history terms...

and we won't get to go the funeral.
but at least, i guess, we got to pay our last respects.
and i drew her that picture...

when we left her she was doing okay. it looked like she'd make a recovery and even though she'd have to be hooked up to some sort of machine for the rest of her life she'd still be there for a bit longer.
but as soon as we left...
*sigh*

and Louisiana was miserable of course. not only was my mama dying and we had to go see her hooked up to machines in ICU everyday while she couldn't even speak aloud but i learned i'm glad my cousins live in Ohio because they're freaking annoying and everybody down there is so damn lazy. all they do is sit around, eat and talk about eating.
so we went to the mall a lot.
and i like shopping with my dad because he actually buys me clothes. NICE CLOTHES. not like my mum.
and so in Louisiana i always get new clothes.

so now.....
i just cleaned my room and rewashed all my clothes and pillows from Louisiana because they smelled like my grandparents house and that bugged me because i don't like other people's scents on me unless they're really sexy smelling.
and my pillows (3) don't want to dry
i'm into the 4th hour of trying to dry them.

i'm thinking about joining the air force reserves.
for some reason people are thinking of the actual air force or even flying jets and stuff instead of what the reserves actually is.
basically i'd go through 6 weeks of basic training then go on with my everyday life while i go to work at a base near my location one weekend out of the month and get paid a few hundred while they help pay for my tuition.
i won't be in the middle of the war. i won't fly a plane. who knows what i'll really do. my dad works in the hospital (or did.. i think he retired recently) and all he really did was attend meetings. don't know what he actually did...
but it's one way to help pay for my tuition at the art institute...
now i wish my dad had thought of this earlier.

anything else....
nothing i wish to type out anymore because i'm lazy :\

most of my friends have gone off to college and the ones that are still here are still in high school. so it's hard to hangout.
after visiting both tandy and chris in college in columbia and springfield on their campuses i find i envy those who get to experience campus life and live in a dorm with total strangers very much.
i'll get the student housing/dorm experience when i move to chicago (in a fucking year) but i'll never really have campus life (unless you count state fair's campus which i don't) because the art institute is one building.
but i still can't wait and as long as i get to go there i don't care.

i feel like a loser at state fair, to be honest. i'm still in hick town. just a bigger one. that's exactly what i want to get away from. that and get away from my parents. i love them and all but i'm really ready to get away from being bound to their every word.
i mean missouri's fucking STATE FAIR is held there.
omg such a creative name for the college right?

so having fun nowadays is driving to the cities on the weekend with chloe and visiting our friends' colleges.
it's an experience.

i have so much crap i have to do and part of it should have been done some time ago... ugh!

i should get my oil changed sometime.
