It's been three weeks since my last post...

Holy mother of God! Where did summer go? I swear it was June last week. Oh well. It has been a really long time since I updated last, so here's a real quick overview.

Job: Like it, settling in nicely and my boss just loves me. Yay! I've been given three big projects, one is completely finished, one is at a standstill until my boss finishes her part of the new software and the other is about halfway done.

Home: New place is great, although I lost power this morning and couldn't open the fuse box. Good news though, the whole building went out, so it didn't matter that I couldn't open the fuse box. Had to shower in the dark, but I had hot water.

KP: He's going great and now has THREE days off vs. only one like last year, so woot! However, I think he's bored, so I'm trying to think of a hobby he can do at night. Apparently, brewing beer isn't enough. (I bought him a home brewing kit for Christmas, which he still hasn't used...grrr).

RPG: All games are doing great and I'll do some pimping soon. We've had some big threads in [profile] post_bellum which have been sweet. I have all 14 of my characters active 3 to 4 threads a month, plus [profile] do_bad_things should be starting soon, I'm playing Sookie. Fun fun

NaNo: Did some plotting for NaNo this year. I'm writing the sequel to my 2007 NaNo entitled Buts Words can Never Die, which is a young adult Nancy Drew Style mystery. I'm hoping to publish it someday and have a few friends reading the 3rd draft of it as we speak. The new NaNo takes place over the summer and will be call Camp Dead End and will involve smuggling...I'm thinking drugs, but I'm not sure. I do know there will be camp rivalry, kidnapping and good looking lifeguards. The main character is only 15.

Weight: Down 13...want to drop 7 more before end of year which is part of my 101

Rhodora We are producing Agnes of God in the fall. Auditions soon...need to find space and confirm with director his schedule. I may just pick dates without him just to get things moving. I'm working on this over the weekend.

Future: I've talked with a few friends and done basic (I mean, I've look online at two schools) about grad school for creative writing. My facebook wife, Connie, is in a graduate program at John Hopkins and it's only 9 course, including thesis and she should have it complete next summer. So, I've been saving and thinking about applying or looking into the GREs. This morning I came across an article from The Chronicle of Higher Education which is a university industry paper that my company subscribes to. I thought it was really interesting and I've decided to share it. It's under the cut bc it's long and I blatantly stole it bc I'm not sure how to share it without making anyone interested in reading, sign up for a subscription. It's good and I suggest you read it.

Anyways, that's my life up until now. I'll try to update more often.

Kisses!

Update of sorts

Ok, I've been like CRAZY busy the passed week. First, I cleaned some, but mostly spent every night after work moving a car load over to my new apartment/flat/whatever you want to call it. KP and I planned on moving everything but the big stuff on Sunday, which we did.

However...

KP woke up an hour before he had to leave for work in incredible amounts of pain because he was beginning to pass a kidney stone (Really it is the closest male equivalent to giving birth). So, we went to the hospital. We spent 4 hours there then drove to an all night pharmacy got pills and crashed.

We then picked up the truck at 10 AM, took two loads of furniture (Bed, four bookcases, TVs, tv stand, mini fridge, desk, couch) and another car load. We stopped for food and then KP went back to bed.

I:
*Did 3 loads of laundry
*Set up the bathroom, shower curtain, towels, TP, filled medicine cabinet
*Set up TV, DVD and Wii (ALl by myself..I'm so proud)
*Unpacked dishes and food
*Unpacked most of my books and all my DVDs

Still a lot to do, but I feel mostly moved in which is nice

I saw Harry Potter and the Half blood Prince last night and yes,it was fucking amazing and NO I'M NOT TELLING YOU ANYTHING! Sorry, I don't want to give anything away, other than 5 words...

Ron Weasley on love potion.

Ok that's all for now. My internet and cable should be up and running on Weds, so cross you fingers.

Life as it stands

So there was a Metro Train accident yesterday, most of you knew that all ready bc my roomie was flooded with calls asking if she and I were all right. We were, but it was still a little scary when friends from across the country were asking about us. I then called my mom, who was happy that I called. I also ended up calling my grandparents and emailing my dad.

Besides, deadly train crashes, life has been fairly good lately. Looked a new apartment over the weekend and I'm thinking the owner really likes me and KP so we'll probably sign a lease sometime this week. Woot!

I'm officially off temp status at my job on July 1, so I'm going out to celebrate. If you want to come we're meeting around Metro Center, i'm thinking Matchbox.

Still writing and RPing a ton; I have some free time at work that I do it, but there are some days that I think I RP more than I work...shhh! Don't tell anyone. Also, I'm writing this in Dreamwidth and got to say I hate the font. HTML-ers, how do I fix that? Thanks!

That's it for now, but if I think of something I'll post again soon.

Hmm?

So I just took this interior design style quiz and this is my style:

Your style is Mid-Century Mod
Open, airy, organic spaces, all about form and function. Sophisticated and sleek yet approachable, alluring. My home is Mid-Century Modern.

I would agree, but I'm a slob...now if I could have anything I wanted and money was no problem then I'd agree.

What do you think? Does that fit me?

SQUEE!

So none of you know this, but I, along with two close friends, started a non-profit theatre company, which has been a lot of paper work and stuff, but now we are moving things along. Auditions for our first show will be next week. We are doing Proof, which is a great play. Anyways, we've have gotten at least a dozen or so people tell us they are interested in auditioning and I posted the notice at like 4:30 yesterday. I think that is awesome and [livejournal.com profile] cloverdew is going to make our website, which I'm totally stoked about.

Anyways, if you want some more info on use see below )

Amused...again

Same co-worker as before and no names...some people are stupid

All,

It seems that there was a soda that was left in the freezer in the North Kitchen, and it subsequently decompressed all over the inside of said freezer.

In the future, for rapid cooling of beverages, I would recommend using the available frozen water (aka, ice) instead of putting your drink in the freezer and forgetting about it.

I know we all get busy and small things slip our minds from time to time, moving forward, please do not put sodipop in the freezers.

If there does happen to be an accidental rapid decompression, and it was your soda (or other mess), please be courteous and clean up to the best of your ability.

With that in mind, if you have any frozen foods in that particular freezer, please remove them by 6pm est tonight, so that the Refrigerator Gnomes Union are able to clean the freezer, I cannot guarantee that the Union Rep will not throw any foodstuffs away that remain.

Concert Rocked!

Saw Dropkick Murphys last night with CD, which was AWESOME! There were two openers, the first one sucked...lots of screaming and wailing and the only words I could make out were Son of a bitch. The second one was better, but to be honest, I don't really remember them.

Murphys were amazing! They put on a great show. However, they went on late 10 PM and I drank way to much and got sick. Opps! Oh well, totally worth it.

Now at work feeling like crap, but I don't care. Speaking of work, I should go do some. Later

Amused

Email sent to my office (I've taken out names and stuff)

The fridges will be cleaned out in their entirety tomorrow evening at the close of business, we have been in negotiations for a while now, and he is adamant that everything left in the fridges & freezers past 6pm tomorrow night will be used to placate the dumpster goblins.

I thought goblins only worked in banks
