The squeeage. Before I was so rudely nearly concussed.

I just got my schedule from both catering companies up until the 15th of December, and I'll be working 10/14 days. I've closely estimated (taking into account short shifts, long shifts, and taxes) that I'll make enough money over the next two weeks to pay two months of Rent, pay off a nice chunk of the credit card, *and* buy gifts for everyone.

*AND*

My mom called to tell me that there was a fluke with the insurance company. See, they sent a letter saying I was no longer eligable for health insurance through my dad's union, so I've been without it for a couple months now. Apparently there was a mix-up, and I *do* have insurance. Which means I can go to the dentist! And next month when it's HIV testing time again, I won't have to pay out of pocket. Yay!

So...go back to your lives. heh.

I'm happy.

I'm scheduled 40+ hours at work next week, I have four Kelly Clarkson music videos that I love, I kinda sort of have someone in a strictly nonconventional no-no can't explain kind of way who just sent me an email to remind me that my smile makes him feel good inside and that he's thinking of me.

Yes. I am happy.

Also? It's spitting snow outside, which adds to the squeeage.

So, is anyone as excited for this movie to come out as I am?

I just checked out the soundtrack and whee! Two songs sung by Rufus, which makes me happy:)

As for the movie - guh! Should probably wait till it comes out and I get to see it, but I'm kind of excited that it's a "mainstream" movie about two gay cowboys in love. Maybe attitudes are changing?

Either way - yay!

Okay, this project was kind of inspired by something lunabee34 posted last month sometime. I've been telling myself forever that I would do it, but now that I have some time on my hands, I figure there's no excuse not to. Eventually I want to compile everything into a Sedaris-type book called Queer as a Football Bat. I'm going to try and post a new one daily, but we'll see how that goes. For now, I've decided to post the first two that I have finished. So here goes. If you're interested and you enjoy them, feel free to comment. If not, no worries.

Gods but I love this musical. I thank my lucky stars that wilde_moon forced me to listen to it introduced me to it.

The message my new boss left on my phone at 1:00 today "Hey Brad, it's Greg. It's a little after 1:00 and hopefully you're awake, recovering from a fun Sunday night - which, by the way, I'm giving you next Sunday out so we can hit the bars - and hopefully not alone, which would explain why you're not answering your phone. Anyway, call me back so I can book you through the rest of the month. Tootles." Hah.

Last night was good times - notice I deleted that drunk post. I don't think I need any reminders from now on about having a few too many. Obviously it's not something to be proud of, BUT, I'm not ashamed. Where was I going with this? Oh yeah - me and Fernando went out last night and got tanked. He wound up going home with a bartender from Sidetrack that he'd been eyeing all night, and I wound up taking a cab home at 4 am from the club. All in all, it wasn't a bad night at all. Felt good to get out again and shake off all the icky home vibes. And the plan is to go again tonight. So, yay. I lurve my friends:)

I'm trying to write the next chapter for L2BL, because hello - the big stuff is coming fast - but no. It just wont. work. Grrr. So I'm gonna try and force it for a bit more, then I might switch over to my other project and get my mind off of it.

I'm contemplating dinner at the moment, but even though I'm hungry, I've done absolutely nothing all day to burn any calories. And I'm scared of gaining back a bunch of weight (I would just. die.). Ah well.

ouch. ouch ouch ouch ouch ouch.

ouch.

but soooo don't feel like talking about it right now.

That wickapedia is god's gift to a college studen cramming for exams.

that will be all

EEP! Final's in one hour! EEP!!!

You know, it's funny because I don't have an addictive personality at all.

I really can't stop listening to this song.

I had something to say, other than new icon!squee! It's 1:15 and I'm dead ass tired. And my upstairs neighbor is practicing the horizontal mambo with someone *glares in jealousy at the ceiling*. Oh well - at least someone's enjoying their evening.

So...thanksgiving is in like 3 and half days. Eep!

Which means I have two finals tomorrow. And a training session.

Crap.

Guess I'm going to bed.

Hey look, I haven't died - here's chapter 14 of L2bL!

Title: Learn to be Lonely Chapter 14/ ?
Author: chocgood84
Rating: NC-17
Pairing: BtVS Spike/Xander
Disclaimer: Characters in this fic, aside from original characters, are property of ME and Joss Whedon. I’m just playing; I get no reward. Don’t sue, I’m poor.
Warning: Just the standard: Slashfic, with some brief episodes of het sex. Some graphic scenes of violence, sexual situations, and other assorted adult situations.
Author’s Note: This is my latest WIP, and it’s coinciding with my last year of college. I may or may not get to update very frequently – but I have no plans of discontinuing or abandoning it, so if you’re patient – there will be more. Also, this is somewhat AU in the sense that Dawn doesn’t exist, and Adam was never created so the initiative is still around for the time being. Also, a big thank you to the official L2bL beta, kittypoker1. That's for the express, darlin.
