An update?

2009-09-30T06:55:29Z

Okay so wow, finally posting!

Let's see...since the last time I updated:

I found a new full time job which sounded awesome until I found out it was selling vacuums on commission door to door. So not my thing. I stuck it out for a week because I don't like to give up easily but realized that if a job is on the verge of giving me panic attacks than I should get out.

I auditioned for Six Flags Fright Fest again, the last time I did it was in 2002. Thought my audition was 'eh' even though they were impressed by THE REALLY AWESOME THINGS that I can do to my voice when I'm screaming. Said they'd call me in for call backs a week later if I got in. Didn't hear a thing so I figured they didn't need me.

So I planned to go to a wedding that I wouldn't have been able to make if I had been in Fright Fest! It's in San Diego and The Boy's best friend is getting married. He's in HER wedding party (like that movie!) I'm busing down there (12 HOURS!!) because it's cheaper than flying but I don't care because I LOVE going to weddings :D So my adventure starts early Friday morning!

Ahaha, so here's where it gets crazy (as though it hasn't already!) the day AFTER I book my bus tickets, I check my work schedule and GUESS WHO IS IN FRIGHT FEST AFTER ALL??? Thing is, NO ONE called to tell me I was in it, which apparently happened to some other people too. So I'm torn between YAY! they liked me after all and OH CRAP I HAVE NON REFUNDABLE TICKETS ON THE DAYS I'M SCHEDULED. Man, I may dislike working at a theme park some days but when they rush to work out my schedule with me, how can I hate them?

So now I'm going to San Diego AND getting to be in Fright Fest. Score.

Only thing left to do is find a second job because I figure that having two minimum wage jobs is like having ONE that pays $16 an hour!

23:23 Got into Fright Fest after all which is yay! for Halloween but stress! for changing plans because I only found out yesterday morning :/ #
00:22 why, WHY do I have an idea for an FMA pirate!AU buzzing around in my head..... this must mean that I should write it. Clearly. #

Funniest thing I heard at work today:

While passing by the stingray pool, a kid asked his mom "what are those?" and she says "stingrays and man 'o wars." She stops, looks again, and says "yep. Man 'o wars." Completely serious!

Okay, so I'm pretty sure she meant Manta rays, which is still wrong but at least closer to what we actually have than man o' wars. LOL

Also, just found out that Six Flags is doing a special event for GLBT in Sept. 11. Awesome!

My first tattoo!

2009-08-12T00:27:42Z

Well, I finally did it. I've been talking about it since I turned 18 and I finally did it! Went with my Nana too because it's her 70th birthday next week and she wanted to get an iris on her ankle, how awesome is that?

Link to facebook picture!

It's Scorpio with two stars on my upper back AND I LOVE A LOT. IT IS AWESOME.

Also didn't hurt as much as I thought it would. Kind of like a burning scraping but not excruciating. I'm already planning another one :D
