| Harry lost his job Friday 0_0
geez, its so like, all of the sudden, its really scary. At least at min-wage type jobs you get warnings and notes or watever and then after a certain number of screw up your like 'yep, im getting fired'. but not in public accounting, apparently.

| Whoot! My very first bjd Bluefairy Tiny Fairy Jasmine, Basic Edition arrived on monday! EXCITEMENT! I already made a fairy good post of my box opening over at Den of Angels, so ya'll can look over there and then comment back over here and save me the effort of double-blogging or whatever ^_^

Doh, since my link isn't working, new link

And note: the pertinent info that would have been in the above link that are not in the photobucket is that she was supposed to come with eyes but she didn't. I've already emailed the company and they said they are very sorry and that the missing eyes are being sent out right away. Soo, she's a bit creepy with empty eyesockets and no facepaint, but at the same time I find her very cute. ^_^ | | comments: 4 comments or Leave a comment |
| X-Posted to fairyfashion:
Hi everybody! I've not been very actively on the journal lately, but I've had a new outfit in the works for some time. Like, a year ago I made a patch-worky witch's hat. Some of you may recall when I commented to fellow fashionfairy aranel13 to make me a hat pin, and she made me a whole hat band ^_^. It goes prefect w/ my hat.
So, part of this post is actually to express my gratitude to aranel13 and show off her and mine's handy work :).
The other reason is this: My costume is lacking a bottom. I have a lovely bodice-y dress-y cloak-y Moresca garment, and I whipped together a little blouse to go underneath it, but I really require some sort of skirt or pant and I've stumped myself :(
Also, some brief backstory: my troll costume's bodice had a major mishap at the drycleaners, which sorta spurred me to return to my witch hat to recreate a new costume. Some of the accessories, like my shoulder fairy (which I may put on my hat, actually) will be transferred to this costume, so I think the costume description would be A hermit type witch that lives in an enchanted forest full of magical creatures.

| for those of you eagerly awaiting my witch-in-progress project update, the package i'm waiting on is in the mail and on its way as reported by my tracking number (the seller had some sort of package weighing mixup, so it didn't get put in the mail till tuesday)
in other news, my little sister R-U-N-D-O-F-T.
she took the money and runnd.
she ran off w/ her loser boyfriend to colorado. hopefully she'll come back soon before anything bad happens.
good news: jason has a job interview today at the steel depot! *doing the 'get a job' dance*
more on how that goes later.
and lastly, in light of how upset i have been and needing to do something different to elivate my mood, i went ahead and ordered at 11pm tuesday my first ball joint doll from bluefairy. she's a 'tiny fairy' sized (that's 43cm/18inchs) and the mold is Jasmine, which is a new model. i requested her w/o a faceup because i wanted to paint her face myself, but that didn't reduce the price any :( total price (so far, prolly will have some customs added in at some piont....not sure how it works) is 414.00...realatively inexpensive. (the other dolls i was considering would prolly be around twice as much for the same type of thing because not all dolls come w/ eyes and a wig and basic clothing).
anyway, DOLL EXCITMENT. | | comments: Leave a comment |
| Expect later next week a post asking for help with a bottom conundrum I'm having concerning my witch costume.
Anyway
After like, a month of looking through like , a gazzillion websites, and buying The Ball Joint Doll Orbyrarium book from Haute Doll Magazine, and becoming a member of the Den of Angles forum, I have decided what dolls are my favorites and what doll I'm going to buy :)

| studying goes mostly well and on schedule these days
jason still has no job
latest news on erica is that she got suspended. bummer. oh and also she 'plans to drop out of school and just get her ged so she can still go to college'. its probably good i heard that second hand because if she'd said that to me there'd have been a fit. that is a ridiculous plan in soooo many ways.
i know i had something good to post about...but now i can't recall what it was.... | | comments: Leave a comment |
| the cost to take the first two of four sections of the cpa exam has just breached the 600$ mark.
Application fee: 155$
examination fee for auditing and regulation exam portions: 423.90$
passport photo fee-required for application: 8$
cost to order transcript from nmsu-8$
fee to mail two envelopes certified- 11$
fee to get certified check from bank- 8$
that's 613.9, just to find out if i'll be allowed to sit for the exams. half the exams. I'm pretty sure i only get reimbursed for the examination fees (after i pass all four sections, that is). | | comments: Leave a comment |
| this journal is past due for an update
1) w/o notice (like how she moved in) erica moved out in the middle of her second week of school. didn't go to school that day, appeared to conspire with mom, and up and left while i was at work. hurt my feelings for a few days, but now ive been feeling alot less stressed.
2)got a new car! Shalaine (i.e. gave me the winning ticket to a car I didn't win, see previous post) saw me sitting out in teh parkinglot bawling on day, and i started spewing all the things i hated about my life, and two days later she gave me a 1996 jeep cheorke w/ 163000 miles on it. SWEET. runs good. i feel alot better being in control of when i can and can't leave work.
3)finally getting in to see the lady doctor tomorro. i usually go in June, but i wasn't able to see the same doctor i always had last year, and they updated their system last year, so i showed as a new patient, and couldn't get an appoint till august, during the week when i already knew I'd be on my period. so they told me to just wait and call back for a new appt and the stupid bitch tried to tell me i couldn't get in until december if i changed my appt AND they would refuse to refill by BC. So i threw a fit and then she was like 'oh, your period, you can come in in two weeks'. bitch. and i think I have to see the Male lady doctor instead of the Female Dr. Hobbs that I usually saw. FEAR.
MUCH FEAR. NO LIKELY STRANGE MAN. | | comments: Leave a comment |
| still debating what brand/type/size/price/ect bjd/dollfie i want. but I'm getting closer to a decision!
This first one I'd totally buy, but it was a special edition released back in 2007. it came assembled with these clothes and such, don't know for how much, but i can't find it available anywhere. mega cute though
this second one does not come with hair or eyes or clothes, but you can order it w/ a factory face up, and it is currently available (it also comes iwth a head, which is nice). its not a dollfie brand, its a Bobobie, but the ears are good, and the face is nice. its a 43cm doll, so not too big either. $150 for base body.
and this last one is just for you
ITS LOOKING AT YOU!!!!!

i think im going to be sick for a month A MONTHHH!!
ok. the company i work for bought everybody that wanted one a raffle ticket (they sell for 50$ each) where the grand prize was a choice of one of four BRAND NEW CARS!!
2009 Toyota Camry 2009 GMC Sierra extended cab 2009 Honda CR-V 2010 Ford Mustang
GOD I NEED A CAR
and then my boss gave me an extra ticket, and then this girl named Shalaine that i work with gave me her ticket because she wasn't going to be able to go to the event (an eight hour long event x_x) so i had three tickets!
there was a total of 2035 tickets sold, and the way it worked was starting at 3 pm the drew one ticket at a time out of the pile- if your ticket was drawn out 'eliminated' then you were not in the drawing to win the car anymore; aka the last ticket left wins. you could win door prizes instead, and there was a dinner and a bingo.
anyway, when it got down to 200 tickets left, the divided the ticket numbers into 20 'lots', and you bid on the lots, and if the lot you bidded on contained the winning ticket, you win money. and this part was insane, because the richest people in town (i know, i see all thier tax returns) were bidding $1,000, 2,000, and 3,000 on these freakin lots. one lady got 5 of them. the winner was eligible to win 20,000 dollars (75% fo the total bid-26,450 or something).
At this point, two of my three tickets have been drawn out, but I'm still holding Shalain's, and I call her up and tell her and she says 'if they offer you money for it, take the money." at this point I don't know what she's talking about, but whatever.
so they keep drawing
drawing
drawing
and were down to the last 10 tickets adn IM STILL IN! HOLY FREAKING IM GOING TO THROW UP GAHHH
they call the last 10 ticket holders up to the front (all the ticket have the original ticket holders name on it, so i just pretended to be Shalaine) and at this point anyone in the audience can offer you any amount of money to buy your ticket.
someone offered me 400 but i was like HELL NO.
upbeknowest to me, one of the guys that work for the raffle somehow knew shalaine and had called her and was talking to her on the phone and then she
F*&**KING SOLD THE DAMN TICKET FOR 500 MEASELY DOLLARS WHAT THE CRAP IS THATG!!!
AND THEN IT F***IIKAIKNG WON THE CAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MY BRAND NEW CAR SHE GAVE THAT FU*JI98IHNAKN TICKET TO ME GAAAAWWWDDDDD!!!!!!!
and when she got there it took her like 20 minutes for it to dawn on her that she gave me that ticket and i freakin needed a brand new car and that she had freaking screwed me over. she is spliting the 500 dollars with me. (also, after we sold for 500,the ticket sold again for 1500, and then 5000, and then it won). | | comments: 6 comments or Leave a comment |
| For those of you who don't konw (which is everybody, seeing as how things are)
Erica is offically semi-permanently moved in with me and Jason.
So now I provide for 3 people. and with One vehicle I get to arrange how we all get to where we need to go (Erica already managed to find herself a parttime job at sonic, and school is going to start up again soon, and I'll be damned before I let her drop out again).
Im the meantime, jason appears to have given up on life and has been a complete lazy jerkhead loserface who I'm most annoyed at currenlty.

| We'll, this year EPAC was a complete and utter fail. and futhermore, then entire day, even beyond the fail of EPAC, was a fail.
The day failed because, while the original plan was take zoey, and drive the truck that seats three, Erica who sometimes attempts suicide, broke up with her boyfriend friday morning. Not wanting to break my promise to Zoey, we had to convince mom to let us borrow her car.
Ug.
When we arrived at EPAC at 10am saturday, we had had no car problems. As soon as we tried to leave for lunch, the car was dead and needed a jump. We eventually found a jump, went to lunch, (jason waited outside in the car for a while to keep it running) and when we turned the car back off, it was dead. So we found another jump and drove back to EPAC, and jason waited, in the car, with it running, for an hour and a half in the heat of the day. And it died as soon as he turned it off. we had to get a jump before we could leave ElPaso, and we just kept the car running all the way home, while we stopped to get gas and at rest stops. RIDICULOUS.
