As for today, literally starting at midnight, i suppose
I was still working on fics, and scenes, and coloring those drawings on GIMP.

Having issues with some of the fic-things. One is an alternate-scene from this alternate DF 'verse I made up and dubbed "morningway-verse" (yeah it's as confusing as it sounds). And then I started this other one where various OC's are coming together. It's craziness. I haven't even finished the fic where the one was first introduced. Which means I should finish it before I get far enough to post this other.

Also, I actually worked a little on the Games Series. I know, I'm shocked too. I feel bad about that one because the muse just like... keeled over and died. Leaving me with nothing. But I am trying to get it done. I don't like unfinished things anymore than the next person.

And then there's the Plaude fic. Which I have the next chapter on but need to read through it against just to make sure it makes sense. Because I finished it late one night and my brain gets special sometimes.

Note: I literally wrote this in MSWord, adding the current music, mood, and tags from the best of my memory… because I was missing lj so bad...

So. After spending the day at my mom’s and venturing out to be online for a while my newfound allergies started kicking in. Or maybe that was the migraines. Or both. All I know is that I started feeling miserable at the end of my time online and know less then two blocks toward the place where I buy my bus passes things started getting weird.

Niki/Jessica had enhanced strength
Dale Smithers had enhanced hearing

I had enhanced sense of smell.

What. The fuck? Seriously. It was like I was a dog or something, cement, grass, someone’s shampoo…and then the normal stuff was way strong, there was some nail-place and whatever chemicals they had just about killed me. I started to get all nauseated and stuff to, so that sucked. Eventually I made it home and took a nap.

Later, of course, Mom told me that heightened sense of smell was common in bad migraines. I knew about the sensitivity to light and sound but smell never registered as a possibility. Still, I felt pretty special for a while. Mom told me I should beg grandpa for help with my bills and get testing done.

Don’t really wanna beg for money. If that random one for the contacts appt hadn’t showed up (months after the fact) it wouldn’t be bad. God, I really don’t want to beg for money—especially with all this Sam losing his job stuff going on. I mean, at 9pm he still wasn’t at Uncle Aaron’s so I’m hoping that he didn’t try to go up to Fargo and talk Sam into coming down or something when Sam’s being anal about it all.

Stupid family. They’re not usually all lame like this, so it’s really fucking irritating. Tomorrow’s going to be so damn long too. I’m not even going to into that other thing that’s irritating about it.

Sadly, I think I’m more pissed that Sam’s not coming down then the fact that he has no job and stuff. I mean, yeah, that bites and he’s gotta shitload of debt so he really needs a job but he’s my uncle. We’re a lot a like maybe in more ways than we should be but, you know, I’m just trying to deal with my life the best I can. Mom said that he’d said he mainly lived day-to-day. So do I, for the most part. And yeah, I can see that if I don’t get a better job or (god forbid) get fired from this one I’ll be in a debt thing too. But I haven’t made as many bad decisions as he has yet, and I’m trying to avoid them.

So I hate living with my two pairs of parents, so what? They let me hang out; use their washing machine, TV and internet respectively. They don’t charge me rent. This is a good thing I have and while irritating at times what with the maid-substitutions and last-minute babysitter events, it’s a hell of a lot better than me taking out an extra loan to live on my own.

It’s just better. I do plan on getting out, I really do, but right now I have to focus on the every-day stuff, the weekly and monthly stuff. X amount to insurance, the one medical bill that’s almost finished, those two loans from college that aren’t as much as they could have been had I stayed longer than a year… It can suck, being twenty dollars away from broke until my next paycheck but I would rather have made my payments and be nearly broke than have another loan on my hands.

I suppose I should ask Grandpa for help, just to get that one thing out of the way, but if I do, want it to be a loan I can payback and not some random obligation. I hate owing people stuff. And as soon as all that’s cleared away, I’m getting myself a track-phone... a pre-paid thing so that people can get a hold of me whenever and without trying two numbers. That’s all I really need the damn thing for anyway, contact purposes.

Summer is pretty much here, the mall will be busy and seeing as I have no other duties in life I’ll be working whenever Julie schedules me, which is all right by Sefton; because I need it, and it would be cool if I managed to save more than 50 bucks after paying off stuff.

Well, it’s midnight here, my baby brother graduates in 10 hours and I think I’m gonna make him a cake or batch of cookies. I haven’t decided which yet. No doubt I’ll tag that onto whatever post-baking before-bed thing I write.

Ta, Izzi

 

Post-Baking-Entry 1:28AM:

I made cupcakes. With chocolate chips in them. Still have to make frosting but, bah, it can wait until the morning. Late night baking roxers. I mean, Lu and I have done it for ages and it’s not so bad on my own…except that I have no one to share my insanity with but that’s okay. I know she wouldn’t have wanted to here the Dancemix Techno Version of “The Lion Sleeps Tonight” that played while I was mixing stuff together.

Probably shouldn’t have eaten a quarter of the mix tho… >> Oh well.
