Enjoyable week so far…
I’ve been having so much fun ever since I entered Jackson on Friday night. I was able to see now one-year-old Blade (at his birthday party, even! Pictures will be posted soon.), my friend Cara, Monica, and Dominique. I vaguely said, “Hello” to Azha, which is odd. Normally I have more than that with her. I’m used to the squeal and tackle greeting, other than the normal, “Hi” greeting from her. And it was not because she was at work, because last instance she tacklehugged me in the middle of the store. Something’s wrong with poor little Azha, and I wish I knew what it was. I know there is something going on with Azha, Cara, and Beau. But she normally doesn’t allow petty drama like that get her down. Something is really upsetting her.
On a happier note, I have an interview with Hottopic on Thursday, plus a belly dance lesson. Who hoo! Tomorrow I have to go find an out fit so I can look professional. I know, I know. Professional for Hottopic? Haha! But it’s still nice to appear professional and show you care than pretend and dress lazily. I’m excited about this one, I hope I get a good job with decent pay with them (atleast enough for me to pay my bills and fund my bellydance and yoga lessons!)
Today I finished on paying my $600 worth credit card! Now I just have to finish paying back my Best Buy credit card($200). Then I will just have phone, car, and insurance (not including gas and food). I would like to either have my car paid off or a good down payment for a house. I wonder which I should shoot for. We’ll see..
Well..tonight was the bummer of the enjoyable week. I (tried) to go with Dominique and Jeoff (it is his birthday today)to a bar to watch some kareoke, but the bar was 21+ only. Well, I tried to go in, actually was able to sit down and watch one couple before I was asked for my ID. I told them that I didn’t have one, so I was asked to leave. I should have just handed it to her, they probably wouldn’t have been able to tell with my KY ID, anyways. Oh well. So, Dominique had to take me back home. Oh well, next year. Haha!
Well, that’s it for now. Until next time!

A Move + More…
Things are changing for me and their changing fast. I decided to move my blog here because I have future plans to close down pinkhead.org. I’m not doing anything with it and I feel I am wasting money. Until I fee that I need a domain, I will open one up again, but right now I see no need.
Anyways, a lot has been going on, too. I’ve been taking private belly dance lessons from Taletha. She is a wonderful teacher with a great sense of humor and as much of a dork as I am. The classes with her are so much fun. Why have I started taking belly dance lessons, out of no where? Well, I’ve always had an interest in belly dance, and I’ve just been too shy to learn the dance style. Just recently I was inspired to break that shell (just a combination of life issues and a book titled Alchemist by Paulo Coelho). Now I feel that this is what I am supposed to be doing and I could not feel any happier with myself.
The plans to move back to Mississippi are still intact. In fact, I am spending next week in Mississippi to go ahead and drop off a car load of our stuff and house sit while my mother goes to North Carolina. Billy and I leave tomorrow around three. I am so excited. I plan to take a belly dance lesson from the belly dance teacher there to see what her classes are like. I can’t wait to see all of my well-missed friends and actually have a break from my crappy job.
Well, I must get back to packing. That’s all for now.

Goodmorning World.
I don’t think I’ve been up this early in a long time. Well, today Billy and I are going to Ohio to visit his Grandparents and his dad. Bill’s Grandparents are having their 50th aniversary and after I finish my yoga routine, we’re headed up there. We will just be staying the night and will return early Monday morning so I can go to work. It really touched me, when Billy was asking if I wanted to go, when he said, “This will more-than-likely be the last time I get to see my father alive.” So of course I had to go!
Last night was wonderful. We all went out to eat at Red Lobster, oh the food was so good, and we had a few laughs. We had also planned to go see a movie afterwords, but we were all so stuffed that we just wanted to go home and sleep. Of course Billy didn’t sleep. He didn’t sleep until about 3am this morning, which kept waking me up, because he kept changing the TV off of my sleeping music. But I kept making him change it back. >)
My birthday was nice, considering I had to work. I got a lot of good gifts. My mother helped me pay off a credit card bill, now I only have one left, and it’s just $200. His parents got me some money as well, and Billy got me a set of new (good) headphones. One thing I’ve been needing. I love them too, they’re all pink with a skull on them. They are absolutely adorable. Yesterday I was supposed to go to a belly dancing class, but since it was in a part of town I didn’t know, and since I didn’t leave with enough leeway time to get lost, when I actually found the place I was already thirty minutes late. Aw man, I was so bummed out. So I returned home, grabbed Billy and went up to Border’s with intentions to purchase a Billy dancing video. Since they didn’t had one that struck my fancy, I got a book called The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. Something to do on our way up to Ohio. It’s a book about a Spanish shepherd boy who travels up to Egypt to steal riches from their pyramids. Along his way he meets a man who calls himself king, a gypsy girl, and an alchemist. The whole books concept just interested me. It’s one of those “self discovery” books. Now I’m just waiting on Witch of Portobello to come to paperback, another book by him that has struck my fancy.
Well, now it is time for me to start my yoga and wake Billy up.

Big Update of Sorts…
Well, tomorrow is my birthday and in about a month I’m moving back to Mississippi. Don’t worry! Billy is coming with me. :3 We just figured it would be a lot easier for me to go to school living with my parents. I thought I could do it on my own, but now that I’m putting out about $800 a month in bills (mainly because of car and insurance), I realized it’s harder than I thought. So my mother asked that we live with her for a little bit while I get my associates. During all of that, Billy and I will be saving up money for a house down payment, so we will be able to buy our first house in the city of where I want to go to college for my bachelors degree. It will just be a whole lot easier for the both of us. It will be easier for him because it’s easier to get a job in the area my parents live in than here in Louisville, KY. I mean, it’s easy to get a warehouse job here, but that’s not what Billy wants. He’s actually been a little interested in Electrician work, so hopefully while we’re there he’ll start at a vocational school there and finally make something of himself. Haha.
On a different note, next weekend I’m starting some belly dance classes! I’ve been doing yoga daily along with leg and ab strengthening exercises. I think it would be awesome to become a belly dancer. They are so beautiful, mysterious, and powerful. I would love to combine belly dance with poi dancing(fire dancing). I think that would be really fun. Besides Belly dancing, I’ve also picked up jewelry making as another hobby. I’ve made two and a half necklaces (with beads) so far. The half is for the unfinished lotus necklace I’m working on, it’s a little complicated and my attention span keeps leaving the necklace when I try to work on it. I’m sure you know how that is.
Uh, this sucks. This morning I woke up thinking today was Sunday, when it’s infact Monday. Man, I thought I had another day off, these weekends just go too fast. I have so much to do, but I can never get it done because I waste my time on the computer. XD And it’s not like I do anything important, just looking at pictures and watching stuff on youtube. I’m a big computer potato, I guess, and that needs to stop. I need to just get out more..on that note, I’m gone.

Denial Is a Real Bummer
(Warning: A couple of paragraphs of nothing but whines and bitchings…)
I know that when I am denied for something, it’s not the end of the world, but since I’m such a whiney baby I still want to complain like it is. I just want to whiney and repeat to myself over and over, “Oh I suck, I’m awful, I should just quit, I can never do anything right, etc, etc.” But I can’t. No. I have to bring that head up from drooping and hold it up high and ask myself, “What did I do wrong? How can I fix it? How can I better myself from this?” And I just work on bettering myself. Every artist fails in the beginning. It’s how they better their craft. I only fail completely if I give up. Which I wont. These are my dreams and they will come true.
I bet you’re wondering what I was denied from. Oh, it’s just a little site listing. Here are the reasons why:
- check html validity
I don’t check HTML validity because I’ve tried that before. I will have a layout 100% error free to W3 standards, then I implement it into WordPress, and I come up with like three errors because of WordPress’s HTML. So, I gave up on that whole thing. If I am doing things wrong in that area, help would be greatly appreciated. Is there something I’m missing or doing wrong? This weekend I will take time to try and get it corrected. Perhaps it is my fault.
- use semantic tag as h1, h2, … for headings.
My bad. >>;
- get better visually appealing
I’ll admit it, this layout is rather..dull. Very simple and very brown. And I perhaps used an over-used trend (floral wallpaper)..
Anyways, my new cordless Hello Kitty mouse is driving me nuts. It was perfect the first couple of days, but now it’s not working right. I have to click things a few times, it’s like the batteries are running out. Batteries that are only three or four days old, running out? I don’t think it’s the batteries. Who knows, it might be. I’ll just tell Billy and have him fix it.
Ok, I’m done complaining, I promise. On a happier note, we’re having another yard sale this weekend. This time I went through all of my stuff and I’m going to have more to sell then just beanie babies. I went through old clothes, jewelry, figurines, and other junk I don’t need anymore, and I have about two big boxes worth of stuff to sell! So hopefully I can make a few bucks this weekend. That would be really nice. Hopefully I make enough to pay for the two tickets to the Sounds of the Underground concert. ($60 total for me and Billy to go.) That would be really nice.
Well, I need to go work on laundry and Jasmine is meowing for some treats.

This ‘n That
I fixed a few broken links I had forgotten to fix when integrating the theme into WordPress. Man I feel a little retarded for that. Just a few links I forgot to change. But I was in a rush to get it up yesterday. I left too soon to fix the tiny little details that always are the most important.
Well, work wasn’t too wonderful. I worked a little over twelve hours last night, but atleast no work was left over. We had a total of twenty thousand lines drop yesterday. Lines are SKUs listed on an order. On average, there are about twenty to thirty lines per order. My shift normally can kill one thousand lines an hour (a few times we’ve pushed two thousand lines out, but that was on a rare occaision). Ok, so twenty thousand dropped yesterday, ten thousand per shift(There are two shifts, first shift, and then my shift). So logically first shift (working twelve hours as well) should have put out atleast ten thousand lines. Did they? Not even close. And they have more people, even! By two o’clock (my shift starts at two thirty) first shift had put out five thousand lines. Five thousand lines in eight hours. Pitiful, right? I think so, atleast. We were about to work two or three hours over twelve (volunteer, of course), because of how slow first shift had performed. Luckily we pushed out thirteen thousand lines in twelve hours, so we were able to ship clean.
Oh, by the way, for those who don’t know I work at UPS logistics, a UPS warehouse where we put together orders for Sprint Retail stores. I liked my job at first, but these twelve hour days are just getting so exhausting. I wish I could find another job that paid $11 an hour. Something a bit less demanding.
Well, I must be getting in the shower and readying myself for work. Ta ta!

So much going on..
Well, one of the things I have been up to is caring for my new kittykitty, Jasmine! The weekend of July 4th I was able to adopt Jasmine from Kentucky’s Humane Society, since they waved their fees that weekend. While I was looking at the cats, Jasmine just stuck out to me. She was so sweet, loving, and when I picked her up, she forced me to hold her like a baby. It was the most precious thing! I tell a worker that I wanted her, and we began the paperwork process. Everything was going perfectly, until they found out that the dog at our house, Brandy, was not up to date. Infact, they were three years over due! So, in a rush, I hurry brandy to the vet, get her shots, and then back to the Humane Society to pick up Jasmine.
She’s been the most pleasantest cat since. She loves affection, giving and receiving, and she follows me wherever I go. I love her so much, and I’m glad I found her. I really think this was meant to be.
The camping was highly enjoyable, too. I slept pretty good to my amazement, and we had fun playing volleyball and the fireworks were just beautiful. The only damper on the whole trip was how Billy’s two brother’s girlfriends were acting and how the two couples kept themselves separated from us. And this similar behavior has yet to cease. Just last weekend Kevin, who lives with us, and his girlfriend spent the entire weekend with Tim and his wife. Both couples came to this house on Sunday, to leave and go play frisby golf without inviting us. I am not worrying about the whole thing, just stating the facts. It’s their decision to keep themselves away from us. People will be who they are, there’s no way to make them be someone else.
On a happier note, my birthday is in a couple of weeks! I’ll be 20. God, two decades old. I remember when I turned 10, my mother kept telling me, “You’re a decade old! A whole decade old!” and I remember it made me feel weird. Now that I am two decades old, that makes me feel even stranger. Not old, just strange. I feel like I shouldn’t be 20, I actually still feel 17. But that was three years ago. Man, this age thing is so strange feeling. Anyways, I plan to go out to eat at Red Lobster with Billy’s family (if they want to go)..and then Saturday I’m going to Waverly Hills Sanatorium to see Gwar, Lamb of God, Chimera, etc in concert! For more information check out this site: http://www.soundsoftheundergroundtour.com..I am so excited about that.
Well, I’ve caught you all up on basically everything that’s been going on. I will have a new layout coming soon, so hang tight. Actually, I have an idea for my entire domain, but I will discuss that later.
Oh yes, July 9th..I forgot to go to orientation for college..so I’m going on August 2nd.

I’ve been so busy lately that it’s been hard for me to update on here. I’ve had 12 hour days at work, lots of family outings, and just been busy busy busy. So much has happened since I last posted, and I will post a better update this weekend. I just wanted to let people know that I have not bailed out, I’ve just been too busy to do anything!
