Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

Yeay! Finally....a new entry. Sorry guys, October was a long strange, weird month...ending with Halloween which wasn't the greatest anyway....but now things are finally over....I'm back to Gaia. I'm back to Journaling. Lot's of things happened that I want to comment on. This will most likely be a very long post. But stick with me, I will try to cover as much as I can. First, I wanted to get straight down to Gaia news and say Happy Late Halloween everyone. Some of you I've already wished a Happy Halloween, but most of you I haven't, so that goes out to the people who I missed. Unfortunately, as I said, I wasn't logged on for Halloween. I had a friend in dire need of an ear, and they needed my attention for the night. So I yielded to their beckon call, like a good friend, and was glad I had. Thankfully when I returned on the Nov. 1st all the event stuff was still current and I was able to do my trick-o-treating/bumping in the Halloween forum, which was a blast. I finally finished my collecting this morning with all four items, though I'm only wearing two right now. And I did manage to get one grab bag off of Jack....I got the shoes. And I'll probably purchase the rest of the ensamble later this week. If anyone I know should decide they want to sell first I would rather give my money to you, and at a price beneficial to all. I won't be stingy (pronounced stingee). I ran into that pronunciation problem sometime during the Halloween event on one of the threads. I was speaking of the NPC cows of course and how I know a lot of people were jipped out of the alien probe because of a glitch. Did any of you have that problem? I did. I had to buy mine...luckilly I had some spare change due to all the bumping. So I got me all of the event items. Not bad for my first time working a Gaia event. Ya know, I felt so bad for the newbies who joined this week. The forum was soo empty. There was no one to great them. So I stepped it up double time today and made them all feel welcome. I got bored again so I changed up my hairstyle/look. I got a free shirt on the daily spin and I was like....hmmm what do I have that'll match this and all that I had was my hippy pants and that wasn't enough so I got the hair which was an impulse buy....I was going to go for the 250 hair, but I saw this on the front page and I was like....oooooh, and I was like, it's an investment. Lol. So now I reinvented myself again. This is becoming more of a pattern than I'd like it to be, but oh well, I'm building my wardrobe, finding my style. But anyway....on to real life. I don't know if I put this, but I have a best friend and just recently, as in last week he left for Arizona....thankfully that was after my birthday, but it was a climactic moment in my life. Between that and me turning 22, starting to feel old, this year has been pretty big. Then while all of that was going on BK fell ill the weekend before my birthday and was unable to even wish me a Happy Birthday in person, so the next week was just him groveling and making up for not being there. He got me a beanie bear and a box of Swedish Fish, among other things, and a sweet old card, and so that was sufficient. Even though he was still sick he met up with me and did me justice. And now he's feeling better. I think he's still trying to make up for it. The other day we spent a nice hour or two by the pool and then went out for dinner, and today he took me out to lunch at a nice sit down restaurant. So things are goin' good. But in between was Halloween, which wasn't so fun. It started the night before when my dad and I got in this really huge blow out of a fight over the computer, which he was still holding over my head the next morning. And when I mean the next morning, I mean the next morning at 6:30 am when I was still hella-tired and in no mood to hear. I was pissed off enough I had to drive my mom into work so early, I didn't need that. Then the middle of the day didn't go so badly, I worked...handed out candy to little kids and painted pumpkins, really it was actually a lot of fun. But then, when I got off I was displeased to find my mom picking me up from work instead of my dad who was supposed to because he was too busy sulking about in the dark of his bed room, with the lights off, staring up at the cieling because me fighting with him over the computer was the thing that pushed him over the edge and he just couldn't handle it and he just had to act like an ickle baby over it....feelin' so sorry for himself. He should be ashamed. So like basicly two whole days he held that s**t over my head, not even saying goodnight to me Halloween night, no less appologizing. And then I got hit with a double whammy that night. As I said earlier my friend was having lots of trouble that night and he needed me to be there for him, so I said sure. We were both broke so we kinda just sat outside of a convenience store on a bench, eating pints of ice cream with plastic spoons, and me listening to him tell me how desperate he was dealing with his hellish, day to day life, which really is pretty paltry, and how he just wanted it all to end and for someone to just treat him fairly for once. It's a long story what happened to him, but he's basicly in a desperate financial situation that he is really too young to be having. Poor guy. I don't know what to tell him. He feels like it's just him against the world and it's just take take take take take, and no one's there for him. I suppose we all feel like that from time to time, but trust me, he's got reason. But so anyway....that's how I speant my Halloween. No monster movie marathon, no trick or treating....just a whole night of drama. Things have smoothed over a little between my dad and I....we're still both on edge, but the anger's starting to die off. Thank God. I hate grudge matches. And it wouldn't have helped if he was still angry the other day. We all had to suffer through a stuffy dinner with my aunt who he doesn't have the greatest of admiration for, simply 'cause she's always ridin' him on something. She says he hasn't been a good enough dad to my brother and that's why he's as messed up as he is. And meanwhile she doesn't even have kids so she has no idea what she's talking about. She's not all that bad, she just thinks her s**t don't stink....and that can be absolutely unbearable at times when you just don't want to deal with the issue. But we got through dinner without so much as a bicker, and that was good. And the food was alright. She paid. That was good. Afterwards I got stuck chatting with her over how I needed to find a decent fulltime job and build my credit and eventually spread my wings and get my own apartment, and of course she's thinking this is going to happen in like under 6 months. blaugh yeah right. Awe, that brought an amuzed little tear to my eye. I'm not movin' out til the day my bags are packed for me, and even then I'll be wavin' bye with a tear in my eye. I'm not ready for the real world. crying .
I'll miss my PB+J with the crusts cut off. Lol. Just kidding, I like my crusts on, catches the jelly better. Anyway.....that's what's been going on with my life. Today was my day off....I didn't really do much outside of visit with BK. I cleaned a bit. It was pizza and beer night at the house for me and my brother, that was nice. And now I'm just makin' the rounds on Gaia. Maybe I'll update my profile next. It's still in Halloween mode. Or maybe I'll say hi to some more newbies. Either way....I'm about to bounce. 'Cause that's what Tiggers do best hoo hoo hoo hoo. xd . Lol. See you later. Post soon. Bye.
