Well, shit...

Current song playing: Celtic Nabazcast
Current mood: down-ish

Ho hum. Unemployed. Again.
*sigh*

Jess went back to Philly today, too, so the true aloneness is beginning. Despite my best efforts over the past 24 hours, I can't think of anything happy.

Just gotta keep on keepin' on.

I Can Has a Dobby Hat!

Current song in my head: Mamma Mia-- ABBA!!
Current mood: boredy bored bored bored!

It's been a while...
Not much to report. I've been watching TONS of movies. And working. And not much else.
I saw Mamma Mia with Raphael the other day. It was quite cute and fabulous-- giving me my fix of over-the-top musicals. :-D In the past month I got Stardust and Penelope from Netflix, and, alas! I am totally obsessed with both. Check them out if you haven't yet, as they are both super fab and cute and wonderful.
I am also super psyched because I should getting the fourth and last installment of the Twilight series, Breaking Dawn, at some point this week. Should be good for a full, intense night of voracious reading and vampire lust!
Yesterday I looked up lots of knitting stuff that I want to be able to do eventually. Having absolutely nothing else to do (save finish the scarf I've been working on for ages) I made myself a Dobby Hat (http://leftinstitches.blogspot.com/2005/12/dobby-hat.html) last night, using some of the three tons of yarn Raphael gave me. Behold!
I think it's super cute. Jess disagrees. Story of my life? Anyway, my current plan for Christmas this year is to knit all of my gifts. If I start now, I might actually be able to do it, though I doubt most people are going to want anything I produce... Who doesn't already have millions of scarves, hats and sweaters? Whatevs. I can't wait to try socks. (can't wait = terrified) :-P
I've also been helping Raphael move stuff. Gotta prove that I'm just as strong and tough as the boys. Grr?! Today I helped lift heavy boxes in a dress. Just because I can! Tee hee? He leaves Wednesday and it shall be very strange without him. Yet another person on the list of people who moved away (it's getting to be a depressingly long list (because it's everyone!(except, of course, me.))) At least, I am becoming more and more comfortable in my solitariosity. And now I have lots of knitting to keep me busy. At least until I get bored with it?
And how's this for random? Tonight I have to go to work to let some paranormal investigators into the building... Never thought that would be part of my job description.
Also, I have finally mailed my last check. I am, for realsies, FREE. And I'm sure I shan't be hearing from him anymore, pretending to care how I'm doing so he can nag me about paying him. Nope nope.
So now it's gonna be SAVE SAVE SAVE for Boston so I can get the heck outta here. The other day at work I made a list of all of my goals for when I'm finally on my own. It's gonna be sa-weet and I can't fucking wait!! Anybody got any good get rich quick schemes? :-P
