Valdosta only pokes her head out of the hammock to see if I am going to feed her.

In this photo, Vera has stolen Wesley’s vacant, sleepy expression. Normally, she is alert & intelligent-looking.

IF YOU’RE THINKING ABOUT MY BABY, IT DON’T MATTER IF YOU’RE BLACK OR WHITE

I don’t know what percentage of a rat’s head should be taken up by its eyes, but London exceeds that amount.

AAH I THOUGHT THIS WAS CARTER but then I realized the head is a little bit prettier & less dinosaur-shaped, so it must be Lorelei.

Valdosta, I’m so impressed by your giraffe imitations.

good things. 

• Darren Criss in Nashville tickets went back down to $63 on Stubhub. They were below $50 at one point & I didn’t by them because I thought they’d go lower, but they ended up back close to $100. But now they appear to be going down again, so YAY!!! I will buy it when it hits $50, I think.
• The realtor called my workplace this morning to verify my employment!!! I had become paranoid she was ignoring me, as she hadn’t responded to any of my attempts to contact her in the last few days.
• New job called me this morning for my schedule & is trying to set up my final interview for this week.
• Lorelei looked half-dead yesterday, but has magically gotten better. I have no idea what was wrong with her. She seems fine now.
• Blaze is about to come over so I can help her with some school stuff & I am hoping she will run over to the grocery store with me. I have been out of nacho cheese for a few days & that’s basically my lifeblood, but I’ve been too anxious to even think about going to the store alone.
• I REALLY LIKE SKINS, LIKE A LOT, AND IT FEELS GOOD TO LIKE A TV SHOW AGAIN BECAUSE I HAVE MOSTLY LOST INTEREST IN GLEE. I am limiting myself to three episodes a day. I think I will watch Generation 1 once I’m done with Gen2.

yay, ugh, ugh, ugh. 

• I hung out with Blaze today & that was fun. We went to Sam’s Club & that was super-exciting, & I learned to duck face from Youtube, & we cut Gizmo the dog’s hair, & her mom cut my hair (IT’S SO SHORT & FEELS SO NICE & COOL NOW, IT WAS GETTING TOO SHAGGY & HOT!) and we made POTATOES, but I did not get to fulfill my (non-sexual) fantasy of someone tying me to a table & putting a bag of potatoes on me because people think there is something sexual about that & they refuse to cooperate. I JUST WANT TO KNOW WHAT IT FEELS LIKE
• I don’t know if the realtor is ignoring me or not? I called her twice & left a message giving her an update on my situation & I never heard back from her. I stopped by the office & dropped off my application with the fee & I didn’t know if I was supposed to go ahead & put down a deposit or not, so I didn’t. I guess I’ll send her an e-mail. I still need to give her my dad’s application too (he’s co-signing), but I’m going to send that over in an e-mail.
• My manager asked me when I was leaving & I idiotically told her within the month, & she cut my hours down to FIFTEEN this week. that really blows because my paycheck’s gonna be around $100. what the hell, man. it’s even worse because I’m out of school. I’ll have nothing to do all week. uggggggggggggh.
• still haven’t heard back from new job re: the third/final interview. the manager called me last Monday & was really apologetic & said he wishes he could go ahead & hire me, but that I have to interview with the CEO. he got my schedule & said he really hoped to have the interview done by today, but obviously that didn’t happen. I’m not turning in a two weeks’ notice until I’m officially hired there, not that it really matters if I’m only going to be working 15 hours a week at my current job. UGH.

this is Vera’s best imitation of a giraffe.
