Nothing much new over here, I'm just bored. My mom just moved into town, and my sister has to stay at home while she's at work, so I'm going to be chilling here during the day this week until she gets used to it or whatever. I'm on a dodgy gacked wireless connection until my mom's internet gets set up, but at least it's something.

No luck whatsoever on the job search, which is pissing me off. It's almost the school year again. Argh.

Crack!Katara is now like... fully integrated. She talks more than anyone but Mar at this point. She also talks to Mar sometimes, which is the weirdest interaction ever. I mean, she asked her for dating advice. Which I will only ever admit to here and now. XD Her character has at least leveled out now, and in some respects she is very sweet. And she's absolutely adorkable and awkward in love while still wanting to sleep with everybody. She's like... a morbid cross between I CARES 4 U and Cutthroat Bitch, but with hair loopies and a clique. >> I have no idea why my brain feels the need to make that comparison, but it does.

It's been awhile. It's been a very very long while.

I still haven't been able to find a job. Which was frustrating but okay, as my mom was going to help me with rent over the summer.

Two weeks ago today, I fell backwards teaching my mom how to rollerskate and fucked up my wrist. I'm supposed to be wearing a brace right now, but I'm not. It makes it hard to type and it's way too hot and humid to have something strapped around my wrist. I'm aware this is making the healing process go more slowly.

Earlier this week, my mom calls. She recently started a new job, and had been bemoaning the fact that they weren't really training her at all. They decided that because she couldn't do the job up to their standards (that they didn't inform her of or teach her to achieve) that they were going to fire her.

So now I have no job and my mom has no job and my wrist is messed up. YAY.

Instead of finishing up a game or book that I've been working on, I've started two new ones.

Yesterday I started to read Orson Scott Card's Ender's Game. It's been a quick read, unsurprisingly. I'm about 2/3 done. I really do like it; I'm not sure why I never read it when I was younger, but I think I'm getting more out of it now than I would have then.

This morning I was bored and started to play Dark Cloud and worked some on the first Avatar game. I'm not very far in either of them; I'm stuck in Dark Cloud because I have no money and my dagger is about to break. To get money to fix it I have to fight monsters, but if I fight monsters with it it will break. I'll ask my roommate what she thinks I should do whenever she gets home. And then in the Avatar game I'd already gotten the first chapter and a half done but then lost my data, so I pretty much just got myself back to where I'd been before and stopped right before a boss battle. I also have my eye on Prince of Persia; my roommate brought a bunch of games back with her from when she went to her sister's graduation. Their PS2 broke and they just gave us their games. So I'm basically being tortured, you see?

Luckily my huge fine at the library is keeping me from checking out anything, or I'd probably be working on five more books that I'd never finish. I want to finish rereading Rakkety Tam, and possibly reread House of the Scorpion. I thought I owned the latter, but I didn't see it at all while we were moving. I must have sold it. And I also need to find and finish Abhorsen, which I forgot to put on my list (I think).

Oh, and I didn't get the job, so I have been sending in more applications. Why won't anyone hire me? I honestly don't get it.

I was going to make a list, but I don't even remember what about anymore. So, no list for you.

What is this, a post without a list? I think I may die!

Well, it was bound to happen sometime.

I'm at "home," meaning my mother's apartment. I'm watching my sister while she's at work. Why isn't my sister at school? She has pink eye. I'm realizing now that agreeing to this was probably a bad idea, as my eyes have been swollen and angry anyway from my allergies. Oh well, I get $50 from it. I still need to talk to my mom about how we're going to do my rent for the summer.

Today I'm supposed to hear back from the place I interviewed at. Hopefully I got it, but I fear that I didn't because of my lack of fancy attire. I suppose we'll see.

I've also been on quite the House kick. I've been trying to catch up; I've seen quite a bit of the current season, and am through the middle of the second. So I have like... a season and a half to go. And I'm anxious to see the end of the season of Bones. Next Monday night should be full of excitement. Woot!

I'm very happy I have a follow-up appointment with my doctor in a week and a half. I want to know if there's anything I can do about the rash I always get on the inside of my elbows during the summer. I also need to remember to ask about the little red dots all over my arms. And also the four-week period. And... yeah. And I need to remember to make an appointment with my psychiatrist. Yeah.

So, I have a rather impromptu interview today. I misjudged the amount of time it would take to get here, so I could have gone home to change. But at this point it's too late, and going home would take too much time. Hopefully she won't disregard me because I'm nowhere near fancy or anything right now.

Things I am lacking that I really should have for an interview:

-A nice shirt and pants (I'm wearing a plain brown t-shirt and jeans; not TOO bad)
-A printed copy of my resume
-Retainers in my piercings
-A morning shower
-Not my heavy backpack

And it's one of the jobs I really want; pretty much the department's organizational bitch. I *love* being someone's organizational bitch. <3

Well, cross your fingers for me!
