new: job. it rocks. ok, half the time i still dont know what i'm doing, but i'm soooo very happy i took the plunge and got out of my old job. the new school i work for seems much less uptight and wound up than my old one. no one has griped at me or put me on the spot yet. yes, i'm aware its only been 4 weeks since i started, but i was talking with someone else who works for one of the campuses, and when i talked about how i keep waiting for the other shoe to drop, for someone to just go batshit on me, she said she's felt the same way. and it doesnt happen. she said she keeps waiting for someone to freak out on her, and no one ever does. and she's been there since august. i'm not clueless...i know it will happen someday. but its nice to be able to get started with something new and feel safe and like everyone thinks you're ok and not totally inept (i will show my ineptitude to them later, but by then they will be fond of me, and more forgiving. lol)
also, my new boss rocks (my old one did too, but its nice to work for another good person). however, she's up for a huge new job which i really hope she gets, cos she's cool and deserves it. i will be bummed for myself and more than a bit lost if she gets it, but i really hope for her sake she does. did i mention she's a springsteen fan too?
i'm learning to knit. so far i've basically made a big strip of knitted...knitting. i dont really know what you call it. its obviously not a scarf, but its scarf-esqe in its design. i have grown rather fond of it. its oddly shaped and has a few funny holes in it, but you can tell i've gotten better with my 'art' since i began. i hope someday to be able to knit a nice scarf with a picture of a skull or some flames on it. hee!
i have this message board that i used to just love. its a fan site for a favorite show of mine. i went there all the time at my old job (lol), and really felt like i had a lot of new friends. well, the board has grown by leaps and bounds in the last few months, and i've noticed since i've just kept up with it on the weekends that its really lost some of its charm. some of the folks are very adament that no on ever says anything remotely negative about anyone or anything. i used to get along ok with one person, but she had the audacity to scold a couple of us for ripping on ryan and trista and their sham wedding. me and a few of the fun ones were happily making fun of r&t, and instead of just ignoring us this girl posts and tells us we shouldnt be ripping on them and their wedding was beautiful...blah blah blah. anywho, thats a small example of how ate up some folks have become. i guess im just a little sad cos it was a place i really enjoyed going to and now i'm not finding it fun and i think a lot of the people are acting very fake. oh well. i've still got some folks from there who i like.
i am sick and damn tired of having bad skin again. my skin cleared up for a few years, and now i'm all break out-y again! damnit! and you know im like a little kid...scarring be damned, i've got to pick at my skin. hmph.
my new guilty pleasure is reading the Sweet Potato Queens books. they make me laugh and make me want to go flirt and eat some bacon or some chocolate. anyone who's read the books will understand.
if you didnt catch LOTR Return of the King...you suck. go see it, cos it rocks. i hope it comes back to a theater near me out here in the boonies so i can see it again before it comes out on DVD.
the weather has been shit, and if it causes me to not be able to go get my hair done this saturday i'm going to freak the hell out. its already screwed up my dinner plans tomorrow with KB and family. if i dont get some highlights in my muddy colored hair, i'm going to get pissy.
enough of me. more in february! :)
