Sad Panda ;-;
So since the Memphis gas people are being sttttuuuuuupid and not turning on Ashley’s gas, she couldn’t make it in this weekend. I am a sad panda now. I haven’t gotten to see her since last January, but hopefully she can make it in in a couple weeks when she gets paid again.
Work is going really well. I am learning to use the computer pretty well, so hopefully I’ll be able to go really fast and still be accurate soon. I am really loving it! The first thing I bought with my employee discount was Banjo Kazooie: Grunty’s Revenge for the Game Boy Advance. I like it, its fun to play. I have a list of games that I personally need to own which includes Heavenly Sword, Legendary and Golden Axe Beastrider. Also, Gino and I are thinking about buying a 360 this Christmas as a present to each other. That would be sweet and its something we would both enjoy.
*sigh* Still a sad panda. Maybe we can play a game of Dungeons and Dragons tonight to make me feel better, but I don’t know if the others can come. I hope so, because I wanna play since we didn’t get to play last Sunday.
Working!
My first day of work is on Thursday at 10am and I work all the way til close at 8pm. Thats a full 10 hours! I am excited!!!! Lets just say the job pays minimum wage (which either is, or is going to be this month sometime $7.25) Hack off the .25 since taxes hate everyone and to make the math simple. If I work ten hours thats 70 bucks! Thats 3 DnD books AND the shipping! Is it sad thats how I measure money… how many things I can buy with it… hrmmmm… yes… this is bad for saving. I need to save monies!
I’m so excited that I finally have a job and its possibly the best job I’ve ever had! I can’t wait to start working. The best part? I can wear JEANS at work. How cool is that?!
I’m excited about the coming weeks. Gino and I have our aniversary on Monday, I am finally working again and Ashley is coming to visit. I’m muchly pleased!
OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG I GOT THE JOB!
Hurray! I am so excited!!!! I got a called today from Game Point asking me to come in and fill out one of their applications and quizes, and the owner wanted me to meet his wife because she likes to meet all the new hires. He gave me some of the official Game Point shirts/uniforms and said he would give me a call when he needed me to come in for training. It won’t be a HUGE amount of hours, just a part-time job until the Christmas season hits, which is great. I can ease back into working and not get overwhelmed. Honestly, any extra money would be great because then Gino and I can afford some more video games and D&D gear. His copy of Suikoden II is shipping tomorrow, so hopefully it should be here before our one year aniversary <3.
Boooring
So we ended up playing DnD but what a snorefest. We rolled and split up items, only to decide it was just easier to give the item to the player it was intended to go to since some of them were player-specific items (since we are all still low level). Then everyone had to update their character. We literally didn’t progress the story at all in the three hours everyone has been here. I guess its really showing Gino’s and I’s difference in gaming. He likes stat crunching and stacking the best items to find the best combination. I like RP, thats it. The battles hold no real interest for me at all. Ohh well, hes the DM so I don’t really have a choice.
My interview is in 9 hours so I am heading to bed pretty soon. I am so excited and I really hope that I get the job. That would be really really great! Wish me luck everybody!
I’m a bad girl >.>
I need to stop looking at houses to buy in Portsmouth. I want my own house! I want to paint it and rip up carpet! I want something thats ours, but its going to be a while before we can ever move out there (at the least a year since we signed our lease for that long). *sigh* Ahhh well, its ok, one day Gino and I will have our own little home and I shall have my puppy! I want a smaller dog this time, because I want to take it in my car with me and be that person who always has her dog. I either want a sheltie, a welsh corgi or a papillon. They are all sweat lil dogs… I want the corgi the most… name it Ein and be like “My dog can drive a car!” Not really, I wouldn’t let it drive… but I might tell people I did…. mwahahaha.
So I am waiting to hear back from an Amazon seller, and if all goes well I am buying Gino a neat lil present within the next few days. I won’t say what it is, but I know he’ll like it. He better at least, or he shall be PUNISHED. Not really.
I think we are playing DnD tonight and I am so excited! I can’t wait! Only a few more hours and then… then I get to pwn! I muticlassed for a feat and so now I have a neat Druid power: I can change into an animal (small or medium sized) and I even have an attack: Pounce. I rock hardcore. I wish I was bigger so I could turn into a bear and scare the shit out of my team-mates. Ohh well, but Gino did remind me that panthers count as medium… MWHAHAHAHAHAHA. I wanna sneak into a tent as a panther and scare the crap out of my team. Delnic (Gino) is so going to be first.
Interview tomorrow! I am so very very excited and I want this job!
Job Interview!
Hurray! I have a job interview on Thursday at Target! Wish me luck everybody because I could REALLY use this job, especially if its full-time. I’ll end up working late and working on Sundays so it may make playing D&D harder, but we’ll figure something out. We’ll just have to plan around my schedule which won’t be a problem. It’ll be SOOO nice to be getting paychecks so Gino can take it a little easy for a bit and take some days off. He needs a good rest.
So, I have no idea what this means for Otakon. It would probably not be good to take off a weekend RIGHT when I start working, so perhaps its best just to have Ashley head down here. I need to call her today when she gets home from work. We can have fun at my house by watching a BUNCH of anime, surf around on cosplay.com and look at people dressed up and do some online browsing. Not the same as Otakon, but maybe next year.
So my one year wedding aniversary is coming up soon and I have no idea what to get for Gino. I am not really sure what exactly he wants as he is one of the HARDEST people to buy for. I ask him “Ohh do you like this?” “No.” “Well what about something like this?” “Nope.” “Well then what DO you want.” “I dunno…. I don’t need anything, don’t worry about it.” GAH! Boys. So annoying.
Dungeons and Dragons is fun, but the battles are not my favorite thing in the whole world. Gino likes them though, and he is the Dungeon Master, so I guess I have to suck it up. He includes RP too, so its not so bad.
This is so neat!
Ok, so I stumbled across http://www.moviecollectorplus.com/ and this is probably one of the coolest things I’ve seen. I have a huge DVD collection of all sorts of things: movies, TV shows, animes etc.. and its a PAIN to keep it all organized and remember everything I have. I’ve filled up half a bookshelf with this stuff and then there are stacks sitting around. Now I found this website and I can add all my movies on their little list and it helps me organize all my stuff. The best part? People (including my friends) can make their own and we can see each others collections, and even put in requests to borrow each others stuff. Now while I’ll probably just call the person, its really cool you can see your friends lists too. I’ll have to sign up for one soon!
Anyway, what else has been going on. We’ve got a friend of ours staying with us and its been fun. He’s really considerate and not a bother at all, he even helps around the house, which is always nice.
Still looking for a job, and I am still keeping my fingers crossed for the Hobby Lobby job. They are hiring at the end of the month so I still have hope. I am going to turn in a resume to go along with my already submitted application and check on how much longer til they hire. I would love a job there, it would be ideal. They have the perfect hours and I love all the neat stuff they sell.
So we signed another year lease, so we’ll be here til at least next summer, but hopefully then we’ll move out to Virginia. Maybe even have enough for a house <3. I can dream at least.
Tonight is Dungeons and Dragons night, woohoo! Hopefully my cute lil gnome cleric won’t die.
A good day for D&D.
Hurray, BOTH of Gino’s presents got here today: his Dungeon Master Screen and his battle mat. Hes excited, well… as excited as he can be at 1am after working all day. I got them as a nice lil anniversary present for him. He got me S. Darko, the new Donnie Darko movie. I’m exicted about it and can’t wait to watch it when we get the chance.
Still job hunting. Hopefully I can find a good job soon, that would be nice.
Working on saving all my amazon Mechanical Turk money and the gift cards I get from swagbucks to get Gino Suikoden 2. So far I have about $40, but the game and shipping costs about 120. I’m a third of the way there, woohoo! Maybe I can get Gino to use swagbucks more, then I could earn more points AND we could use his gift certificates to Amazon as well. *purrs* Yes… yes that will work perfectly. I know hes wanted this game FOREVER (well, since it got stolen about 5 years ago) and hes been searching for another copy since. I want to get this for him. Hes such a sweet loving man, and deserves so much more than I could ever give him. Suikoden II should help close that gap though
