I am Oxie Moron: 08

New hair!

I got a haircut yesterday. I couldn't handle my longer hair in this heat (105 right now, btw).

I also opened a Flickr account. I added some pictures there. Mostly old ones.

I am melting away.

It is 106 outside right now.

I just sat down and I am already sweating.

Busy week.

I did a lot of stuff this week, but I'll just talk about some stuff.

Kolin and I have been sleeping on a twin bed since we came to California in February. Because of that, my hip has been out. I was watching TV while washing dishes (I think) and I saw a commercial for Sit 'N' Sleep. They were having their annual Labor Day sale. Kolin and I went to check it out Wednesday and when we left, I had put down $40 to save the bed until I could pay the rest of it off. The bed was priced at $769 from $1,000. When the sales person (named Chris) asked me if I wanted to refinance I told him no. I told him that I liked to pay things off right away. I hate bills. He wanted to sell me the bed so bad, I guess, because he knocked off $100 off the price. It was down to $669. Then he said that I could put whatever I wanted down so that he could hold it for me and when I was ready to pay for the rest, it would be ready for me to take home. When I filled the paperwork he went down to $650. So with tax it all came out to $700.35. It's a good deal on a good bed. And I tried about five or six beds before I picked the one I bought. I liked the fact that you didn't need a pillow while laying down on it.

Kolin and I did some work on Thursday evening. He mostly did the work, but I did whatever I could do to help. We broke our shitty boxspring from our bed. We had to break it in order to save a trip to the city dump. Then we thought about breaking my old headboard, but as soon as he started to break it apart I got a great idea. I asked Kolin to turn it into a headboard/wall display. I won't even bother to explain what it looks like. I sent some pictures into my t-mobile journal so you can see what I wish I could explain.

In that old headboard I put some Halloween candle holders I bought at Michael's. They rock. And that green frabric was put there for a reason. Not just to make it girly. I didn't like that you could see the brackets on the wall (the ones that are holding up the headboard), so I bought some fabric to hide them. Simple. And I had bought the sheets back in November. Those sheets are so soft. I got lucky! It feels like I am laying on a cloud. I just wish I could get some actual sleep. My hip is too shitty for me to fully enjoy the bed. Kolin is getting some good sleep, though. That's good enough for me.

Yey.

I got myself some benefits today. Medical and dental. :) I want to check out a dentist as soon as I can. My two of my teeth have been hurting.

I NEEEEED them.

These shoes. I saw them at Mervyn's yesterday, but they didn't have them in my size. They are on sale too! I was thinking of going to another store today, but they are having a back-to-school sale tomorrow. It will be 10% off the already marked price. But what if they don't have it in my size tomorrow. What if they run out?

Blargh.

My Death Space

I just heard of this on the Leno show last night. A bit weird.

New layout.

I don't remember the last time I set up a new layout, but since I've changed a bit, I thought my layout is due for a new facelift, too. I hope no one is offended by the pink. I love pink. And the music. You can turn it off if you like, just scroll all the way down. I don't think that I am done with this template. I never am. But it is rest time for now.

I've been out of work for a month and maybe two weeks. I resigned from my old job because I was hired for a new position at a new school. I'm nervous and excited. I get to work in SDC (Special Day Class). Six hours a day. I hope I do well. I start on the 31st. As soon as I get my benefits in order (Yep, I am getting them. Seen 'Sicko,' BTW?) I am going to try and get rid of my keloid. I want to stretch my lobes up to a 0g, but I am scared. The keloid is in the way and I might rip my 'lobe. I wish I could cut it off myself, but I am not that strong about cutting myself anymore.

I don't get the urge to blog anymore. It doesn't feel the same since I moved out. I am trying to get back on things. I don't do anything interesting. I don't think. Kolin and I rent movies a lot. We have to watch one more before we have to return them today (With Honors). I was thinking of renting 'Lola' or 'He Loves Me Not.' I haven't decided- Oh yeah! I saw '1984' last week. I really wanted to get that one. I think I will today.

I guess I should do some chores.

Bored as always.

I know many of you have seen this. I've been messing around with it for a couple of months, but they never had my kind of hair. This is supposed to be me. Here's a random one:
