Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons...

☁ help_japan  is baked, sent, and totally done. Phew. ^_^;;; Remind me to just straight up donate money next time. Hopefully they live up to expectation!

☁ So I saw the apartment on Thursday. It's roughly a 20 minute walk from between there and work, which isn't bad (and hey, built in exercise :D). It's on a nice quiet side street and I would no longer have to cross a major road to get to work every day. The girl seems nice (cute too, but alas, straight). I think it went well- for me- but I tend to be pretty awkward and quiet with people I don't know, so eh. We'll see. ^_^;;; I'm trying not to get my hopes up too high. The apartment itself is small, but cute, and the bedrooms are a decent size. Then again... it could be a CLOSET at this point and I'd be like, "Great! :D" So it not being a closet is a definite plus. There's also a gray and white kitty whose name I can't remember at the moment. Really, the only thing that I didn't like is that the people downstairs in the main part of the house have two dogs. So when you first walk in, that's all you smell- DOG. You don't smell it up in the apartment, though. The bathroom is also super tiny, but I can deal. She's going to keep me updated, so we'll see what happens with that. *sends good vibes to potential roommate~ pick me, pick me~*

On the upside, even if I don't get it, maybe I can use moving as a motivation to CLEAN MY DAMN HOUSE. Needs to be done anyway.

☁ Got another random bunny for blind_go , which is good, but it's worse than the other one, which is BAD. *stabs brain* Either way, it's due in a little over FOUR DAYS, so... I need to write SOMETHING. >_< Dammit.

☁ Hourou Musuko has been licensed in the US! *shock* Never thought THAT would happen. Volume 1 is apparently coming out this summer. The downside? The website has it listed as $25. Seriously, you guys? I get that part of it is because it's in hardcover (why?)... but come on. Release it in paperback like a normal manga. Regular books typically go to hardcover first, yes- but with typical books, we're not going to be buying volume after volume after volume. YOU DON'T NEED TO HIKE THE GOD DAMN PRICE UP BEYOND ALL REASON.

☁ Had a weird guy hit on me at work the other day. O_o I've never understood why some men think it's okay to do that. I AM AT WORK. Not only that, but they're hitting on someone that can't tell them to buzz off. If I turn this guy down, he could call corporate, make something up, and I could lose my job. So no, I don't feel comfortable saying no. My company doesn't support its own policies when a customer complains (I have a coworker that was burned by this. He followed company policy, the customer called and bitched, corporate then acted as if he did something wrong and he got in trouble for it), you really think they're going to back me up on something like this? Pfffft.

It wasn't ZOMG THE MOST TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE EVER obviously, but it was damn uncomfortable and I just don't get why some people feel the need to do that. O_o Not interested. GO AWAY.

☁ Between borrowing money from savings and not paying it back and just not putting money into savings every week, I've managed to owe $593.50 to my savings account. >_< Yes, it's to myself and not really that important, but it IS. Especially if I get this apartment, because I'm going to have to spend some of that for stuff. A bed, for example. I'm not moving my current one anywhere but the garbage heap. Possibly a TV. It would be AWESOME if I could scrounge together a kind of scrapbooking station, but that may have to wait a bit. It's something I'm intending on doing at some point regardless- I desperately need ONE place to put all that stuff so it won't get lost or damaged. And then maybe I can actually SCRAPBOOK once in a while. That would be nice.

☀ Reminder to self: Kelly has specifically requested cheesecake brownies for her birthday. Heh. It just amuses the hell out of me, really. XD

☀ Speaking of brownies, I've decided to offer up some brownies for the help_japan  auction- check it out! Someone offered $10 (yay!), but that's still cheap for an 8x8 pan! :D

☀ Remember how there was that one co-worker that I can't stand that I was SO excited to not have to work with anymore? ....guess who's working on Thursday? -_- Clearly "luck of the Irish" isn't going to be going on for me on St. Patrick's Day. Boo.

☀ I can haz credit card! Seriously, an honest to God credit card, not just a store one or my debit card. It has Starry Night on the front. ^_^ This... should probably not be as much of a big deal as it is. XD But I need to work on my credit, and the Lane Bryant card isn't really doing it because I hardly ever shop there. So. My plan is to use the new one for things that I always get anyway- bottles of water at work, that kind of thing. So I wouldn't be spending anything that I don't actually have and it'll keep payments nice and low so it'll be easy to deal with. Not to mention that I'll keep having a balance so it can keep doing good things for my credit. :D Plus it has a $300 limit- so if god forbid anything should happen and I need some extra, it's there should it come down to that.

Though I'm thinking about christening it with an order to Wings later. I only rarely get Wings. ^_^;;; (Mostly because I'm positive that their calories are THROUGH THE ROOF.)

☀ Edit: Just found out that firefox has been streaming video of two red panda cubs. EEEEE CUTE! <3
