| Well today was pretty productive...
Got all of my laundry washed, picked up living room, found my little christmas tree and decorations then put them all up, and just got done putting the lighted gnarland around/above the front door on the porch.
Mike bought my Christmas present today. I'm so excited I could puke.
Canon EOS Rebel T1i two lens Deluxe Kit with 18-55mm IS Lens, 55-250mm IS Lens, 8GB Card, Filter, and Tamrac camera Bag
Most of my christmas shopping is done. Still need to pick up my in-laws' gifts(so weird saying in laws), my grandpa's gift, and Mike's second gift. Pyramid Catolog fucking backordered my mom's gift, hopefully they get it to me before god damn christmas. Grr!! They need to state ON THE WEBSITE if something is out of stock, like most other decent companies do. | comments: Leave a comment   |

| Been watching the WWII in HD mini series all day today. Its damn good. Also waiting with much antici......pation for Mike to get home with my new engagement ring. :))) Although I still feel aweful over how much money he ended up spending. Lets just say we're going to be strapped for cash for the next year. Stupid old diamond peddling german-lady at Jareds kind of suckered me in without realizing what I was agreeing to.
We decided on a bridal set, that way we don't have to go through the purchase process again and he doesn't have to go and spend more money in the future.
This is the set I got, with a 1/2ct, colorless, certified and laser inscribed center diamond(which was the most expensive part), and platinum setting. Real photos to follow as soon as I get it.

| Mike is taking me to Jareds today(Hopefully) to pick out any engagement ring I like(within budget). :)
Now before you think "OMG thats horrible you're making him return the ring he gave you?", don't.. Its not like that... He admitted that it wasn't the most thought through thing he's ever done, and because of that, there's no insurance on the ring. Knowing me, I will most definately lose the diamond out of it at some point or another, at work or something, and places like Jared's offers lifetime insurance on the diamonds. And I was also looking at a bridal set so the wedding ring will match the engagement ring, plus doing that kinda saves money.
So i'm excited... Very happy he's letting me do this. :) | | comments: Leave a comment |
| Made rice crispy treats and chocolate/peanut butter oatmeal no-bake cookies this morning...
Had a minor freak out about my (new)cell phone being lost today, but just found it.
And so far my new job kicks ass... It is SO GOOD being away from petco, can't even begin to describe it. I've decided that the two owners, Tim aka Freakin' Tim©, and Cy are like a weird duo with Tim being the wacky uncle and Cy being the slightly intimidating step father. heh. They're both cool though, nice guys, understanding of my n00bness.
I'm now the "official" store photographer, taking photos for the website, customers and such. Have had alot of customers come in and tell me they saw my photos on the forum and how badass they were. *beam*
I work with a couple other guys, Chris(who i've sort of known for like 12 years, through several other petstores he's worked for), and his cousin Andrew.
Speaking of Andrew... He cut himself super badly last Saterday I think it was. I was sitting behind the desk at the computer, and he comes up and asks me to grab him a fresh razorblade from the desk. I give him a look, and get him the razor blade. Sure enough, about 2 minutes later he comes up to me holding his thumb going "I think I cut myself kinda bad". I was like "Greeeaat. Lemme see.", so he moves his fingers and causes a fresh stream of blood to hit the floor. Was a nasty, SUPER deep L shaped cut from the point of the razor blade hitting and digging into the back of his thumb, right below the knuckle. So I say "Fuck, where is the first aid kit?" and he's like "We dont have one". lol. There isn't even fuckin' papertowels in the whole store. Can we say OSHA no likie? lol So the only other person in the store, a regular customer, runs over to the McDonalds that we're next to and grabs us some papertowels, while I call Mike and have him bring us some first aid stuff... Which he was nice enough to do for me. But not 4 minutes before Mike shows up, Tim walks in.. Im like "phew, thank god. Hey Tim, Andrew pulled a You and cut himself pretty bad, could ya take a look at it?". And he does, with some disgruntled noises. Says he has something for it, and goes out to the truck, comes back with a thermos looking thing labeled "Alcohol". Which makes me point and laugh at poor Andrew. Tim was like "yep, Andrew, this is where you scream like a little girl." lol. He was a man though, and didn't scream. After that Tim did a super glue job on the thumb and it was good as new. Or so we all thought.
When I came into work yesterday, Andrew was there with gauze wrapped around most of his hand in a professonal looking manner, so I asked him if he went to a doctor for his hand. Which caused him to flip his hand over so I could see the dark dark red swollan tissue of his hand and wrist. Apparently overnight, a nasty staph or some other infection set in, and he had red streaking all the way to the bend of his arm. And he wisely went to the ER. Doc wasn't too happy about all of the super glue. lol. And he is now on a large amount of antibiotics, since the infection could be anything since the razor blade went right through some coral(Palythoa at that, which are known for carrying toxins and bacterea in their flesh) and into his hand. Hopefully his hand doesn't fall off. lol.
anyway, here's a large amount of photos i've taken in the store over the past couple weeks...

| First new snake I've gotten in quite a while.
Went to the NWCBE(Northwest Captive Breeders Expo) today. Didn't have much money but picked up this guy from a friend/local breeder who will no longer be breeding Giant Black Milksnakes. Figured it was my last chance to get one locally, esp. at such a good price($50 for a big yearling). Next best thing to owning an Eastern Indigo.

| Got some really good photos of me with Lurch the other day. We went to the new Penumbra Fantasy Fair in Enumclaw, and it happened to be LITERALLY right down the road from the place where my mom has her horses, so we went by for some photos.. I'm wearing the new Peacock tailed Vixen bodice/corset that Mike got me from Damsel in this Dress.

| So I gave my notice today, which didn't go nearly as badly as I had planned..
And I went by Barrier Reef while Mike and I were out and about. I'm semi-official now, they put me down on the calendar for my first day, and gave me my first work shirt. I have to wait for them to order more so I can get one more my size. lol. He dug through the box of new shirts looking for something even in a medium. "XL, no. Large, no. XXL, no... When I ordered these I wasn't thinking of female employees.." lol. I don't think they've ever had a female employee before. So that'll be.. interesting. | | comments: Leave a comment |
| Mike's mom bought me a Pearl Morpho in a glass frame at the fair yesterday... These are one of my fav. butterflies, followed by Blue Morphos...

| Alrighty. Well i've made the leap and decided to put in my two weeks with cursed Petco.
I was finally offered a job at Barrier Reef(http://www.barrierreefaquariums.com), full time hours, same pay/little bit more per hour, and ALOT less stress and bullshit. All in a nicely packaged high end saltwater/reef shop. It will be SO nice to get the FUCK away from Petco and being treated like shit on a daily basis, and getting shafted on hours/pay. | | comments: 1 comment or Leave a comment |
| Freshly dyed hair, and new 10g septum ring. Not that its that visable of a difference..

| Fucking hell...
My septum is infected, and it fucking hurts.. Like 10x more then it hurt to get the bastard pierced. This is the first time in the 5 years i've had it that its ever gotten infected, including the piercing itself, and my previous gauging up.
As recently posted, I gauged it up to 10g on Saterday/Sunday... I went and bought a 10g pincher(a cheap acrylic one since it was to be a once time use kinda thing), and a 10g SS CBR(captive bead ring). Got home, soaked the pincher in alcohol to disinfect it while I took out my exisiting septum ring, and washed the hole with Dial to get it cleaned up. Rinsed off the new pincher, lubed it up with soap, and slid it in. Went in without much fuss or pain. It has two rubber stoppers on it to keep it in place, and I think those were the infection culprits, holding gunk into the newly stretched hole(heh pervs). After 24hours or so, I took it out to give the ring a try, which went in easily so I left it in. Washed with Dial each day to keep it clean, but the pain increased. Decided it was maybe the ring moving around too much, so I took out the ring and put the acrylic pincher back it, and flipped it up inside my nose to keep it from moving around or getting bumped cuz it hurt like hell. Finally yesterday I went and got some Sea Salt, which I should of gotten to begin with, and did a saltwater soak. But only after that did I notice that the salt has an anticaking agent in it, which you aren't supposed to use on piercings. God dammit. So that very well could of made it worse. Last night the pain of it kept waking me up, and my face has been on fire all day today. Stopped by Super Suppliments on the way home and bought some Colloidal Silver spray, Tea Tree oil spray, and Himalayan pink sea salt which is 100% untouched and pure with no additives.
Got home, ran up to the bathroom, and took the pincher out. Low and behold, there's blood and puss stuff on the pincher stoppers. Lovely. Washed the hell out of my septum with antibactereal Softsoap this time, rinsed, then did a Salt Soak with the new salt... Dried, then soaked my septum with colloidal silver, and put the CBR back in, which I then worked back and forth to make sure the colloidal silver got all the way through the hole. All of this hurt like fucking hell, but i'm hoping that no bacterea was able to survive it and its all cleaned out so it can begin to heal. | | comments: Leave a comment |
| ROFL.. omg.. Can't breath.. this is the best movie review ever... In reference to the actor who plays Sylar in Heroes and did Spock in Star Trek:
"Zachary Quinto is really attractive. I want him to fuck me in my left eyesocket until his stone-hard wang squishes past the pulpy goo that used to be an eyeball and jams straight into my brain and my resulting death-seizure gives him the most incredible orgasm he’s had in his life. I don’t even care that he can’t actually do the Vulcan salute (Star Trek director J.J. Abrams had to glue his fingers together), I just want him to skull-fuck me.
Anyways, the new Trek film isn’t as boring as the TV show is at times, it’s got lots of spaceships and explosions, it’s funny, and the special effects are good.
Getting back to what’s important, check out this video of Zachary Quinto making out with some jerkface guy in a sauna. Embedding is disabled, but here’s the link to the Youtube page: “We are so… naked.”
I love his eyebrows. I want to rub my junk on them. You know how sometimes people have really nice hair and it gives you the urge to put your little spermy friends in it? Well, that’s what Zachary Quinto’s eyebrows do to me.
What’s up with the full-name thing, though? People who ALWAYS go by their full name are kind of weird. Like, I go by “Max,” not “Maxwell.” I have one friend who refuses to answer to anything other than Reginald. Even Reggie Mantle from Archie comics doesn’t do that. I guess it’s okay because otherwise Reginald is a pretty cool guy but it’s still a weird habit.
So yeah, Star Trek is a good movie, I guess."
Also, OOOOMMMMGGGG! Zachary Quinto making out with another dude in a sauna video!! *falls out of her chair, dead*
