Soooo turns out I didn't get the raise my boss promised to give me. Nobody got a raise. I can understand why she's been desperate for me all week, she has hardly any staff left. And if my loan wasn't coming in two weeks after I need to pay my first rent payment, I'd be gone too. So I'm still on almost below minimum wage for a job that literally is back breaking. I've been working there TWO DAYS and I already have a burn and fucked the muscles in the arch of one of my feet somehow so now it hurts to bend it in certain ways. Which makes getting up off the ground and crouching to pick things up very painful.

It's making me get into gear about possibly opening up commissions and selling some of the anime stuff I don't want or need anymore. I have two huge boxes of manga and anime I am trying to get rid of, as well as doujinshi, plush toys, figures, extra keyblades, stickers--you name it, I probably have it in them depths of my room. I've made myself a selling community which I'll post up here when I've finished making some SELLING POSTS to it, and then let my flist have first picks over my junk and then advertise in LJ comms. HOPEFULLY I CAN SHIFT SOME OF IT AND EARN MY RENT. AND POSSIBLY FOOD BILLS BUT LET'S NOT GET TOO HASTY.

ANYWAY TODAY WAS MOSTLY AWESOME! I went into London and met up with [livejournal.com profile] ormery and [livejournal.com profile] countersparking to see Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World, which I thought was amazing. I ENJOYED IT THOROUGHLY and really want to see it again. jfdgndfjg. I also purchased a Scott Pilgrim comic T-shirt and a textbook for my dissertation, and had an awesome fun time with my dudes. INJECTION OF HAPPY GET.

IT was really rainy and miserable all day though, and about halfway through the movie my cold decided to get about ten times worse, so I spent the rest of the day sort of in this... hazey headachey zombie walk. WHICH WASN'T VERY FUN. And now I have a blocked nose and I can't breathe and I have a headache and I have to be in work in the morning tomorrow, which means I can't go see Inception again with my parents. Sob. I mean, I guess I still have a job, but since I have it I am allowed to whine about it.




BUT YES. SCOTT PILGRIM WAS AWESOME. AND MY T-SHIRT IS AWESOME BUT I AM NOT ALLOWED TO SPEND ANY MORE MONEY WITHOUT RAISING MY RENT FIRST AND HIDING IT SOMEWHERE.

brb passing out forever.

SO I'm back in the UK and have been since Monday, but have otherwise been occupied by the lovely company of [livejournal.com profile] ormery for the since Tuesday and today [livejournal.com profile] countersparking has joined the ranks too. We spent the evening eating takeout, watching movies and giggling over stupid things like this, and I have to say it's good to be back with my buddies from the UK. I'll miss all my Americano ones too though (seriously, omg you guys COME MOVE TO THE UK SO WE CAN HANG OUT ;__;) and want to thank everyone I stayed with and met whilst I was out there for showing me such a great time. It means a lot to me <3

Still a little bit jetlagged and missing the heat of Bermuda--it is so cold in england right now I don't even 8(--but it's certainly nice to be back! My mother redecorated my room whilst I was gone too and I now have an ACTUAL BOOKCASE INSTEAD OF A SHELF ON CINDER BLOCKS AND A PRETTY NEW COLOUR FOR MY ROOM which actually is a light shade of Tommy green and white. I'm thinking about putting a big orange arrow made from paper over my bed because it would suit this room and would amuse me endlessly. I'm just hoping my boss doesn't decide to call me tomorrow about coming back to work, since I'm reaaally not ready to GO back. Not for what I was getting for the work I was doing. I'd rather sell all my stuff, which, so it happens, I'm planning on doing but. HRHGHN.

And now that my 'vacation' stint is over, it's time to get back to University preparations--concept and story art for my final film (I'm going to try and do a drawing/painting a day once Squeak and Maria leave up until the point of going back to Uni, if not more) and another dissertation chapter to do which means getting out all my Miyazaki books and reading them over again, which isn't a biiiig deal. But I really should start so I don't fall into the constant trap that I seem to do by putting it off till tomorrow and then when tomorrow is the deadline I end up hating myself for not following through with the work. I AM SUCH A MODEL STUDENT YOU GUYS!!!

And on top of that I've some how been put in charge in organizing all the bills and internet and stuff for the new house and I'm trying to work it out. Gonna get [livejournal.com profile] peypea help me out next week, but MAN that is one thing I miss about living in dorms already. That shit is already done. Sob.

BUT YEAH. HI ENGLAND. YOU ARE COLD AND FULL OF RESPONSIBILITIES BUT I GUESS YOU ARE OKAY TOO.

So guys I was baking today.


world domination has never been so delicious )

I think they came out pretty sweet, and squeaky liked them too 8D I have become quite adept at making cookies in the shapes of things.


Now if I could only find a way to market them. hmm.
purapea: (cupcake; cherry lines)
Oh. Oh. Also.

just because I already feel paranoid enough 8|

Going to London to meet up with [livejournal.com profile] squeakyorm today, and then picking up [livejournal.com profile] finalfantasia and [livejournal.com profile] silverbrumby123 who are staying over at my house for Expo :D can't wait! I've got a really busy weekend ahead of me, oooh boy. Lots of late nights and early starts and walking around London with people who are dressed as dead Itachi, BUT buying Pokemon Platinium today makes it alllll better. |D (it would make it even better if Nintendo were running an event in London so I could get Shaymin, but apparently I'm a month late for that, sobs.)

Also, on reflection I probably shouldn't have stayed up till 3am reading New X-men when I was crying that much (ITS A VERY SAD SERIES ;A;), nor should I have been contemplating with Squeak how Tommy would be the first Young Avenger to die because he's expendable and would probably give his life to save Kate's, because now I fucking exhausted and upset. OH WELL.
purapea: ([ misc ] this situation calls for tea)
Spent the last two days at [livejournal.com profile] squeakyorm's, which was lovely! But apologies to lack of tags over this period of time! I'm kind of sucking with those right now, hurr hurr.

Anyways! A friend of my mom's is a professional photographer, and he gave my god mother an apple laptop for her to use. Of course, she hasn't touched it in the entire year that she's had it, so she decided to give it to me for my birthday since she wont use it. Its an Apple Powerbook G4, about 8/9 years old, stuffed to the brim full of memory and with a lot of decent art programs on it.
The downside is that it only has a 500 megahertz processor (and considering new ones have like 2.4 gigahertz..) so I'm worried that its going to be really slow for what I'm going to need it for - in which case my godmother is going to give it to someone else. Also there's the thing that it probably isn't set up for wireless and I'd have to get an adapter for it if I wanted to use it wirelessly. And the screen is a little loose. BUT. I'm really excited in any case as it'll be the first mac I've owned (I dont care if its a hand-me-down!) and I've always loved their stuff, just been a little too poor to afford it! I'm already in love with it just by looking at it!

One problem though. The battery or the power cable or something is broken, and the thing refuses to turn on! I'm going to take it into the apple store in town tomorrow to see if they can do anything about it and try not to walk out of there with an ipod touch but I don't want to spend a lot of money getting it repaired if it only just turns out to be too slow and in turn useless to me. It'll probably be more cost effective to buy a whole new mac, but I just don't have £700 (at least) lying around. @_@

WE SHALL SEE HOW THINGS GO TOMORROW.

In other news I have so much fucking apps work to do and barely a week left to do it in, and my parents decided we're going away for four days. I don't need this right now auugh.

..and I reserved Chase at [livejournal.com profile] ingen_rpg and I have a beast boy app to write. Methinks its time for a hiatus :|a

So like. This Friday, I gave up on editing and went to my semester assessment for my grades so far. Cause I handed in my essay late it hasn't been marked yet (that and they appear to have LOST it |:<) and they haven't marked the Manifesto project yet, even though its been in for MONTHS, but I got a grade and feedback for my character performance piece (that was the 6 exercises) and I got B for it. I'm pretty happy! I thought I'd do worse!

After assessment I went to go get Squeaky and some more veggies from the Newport market. And from buying vegetables and getting on a bus to go home, I lost my wallet! Its really annoying because I had to cancel my debit card but moreso because I lost lots of things which are pretty irreplaceable - silly purikura photos to be exact. It was a really nice wallet too, one of my favorites so far, AND it had a Chii's Sweet Home keychain on it that I am most upset about losing. :C Oh and then theres the whole, has my Student Rail Card, University ID card, Starbucks credit card in it which are going to be a pain in the butt to replace. Oh well. Maybe if someone finds it and they are feeling nice they'll return it to the university. I cant do anything about it till I get my new card anyways. SIGH. So pissed about that.

BUT I've been inhabiting space with [livejournal.com profile] squeakyorm which is lovely! I get to test out experimental cooking on it and everything. And we've been having a Teen Titans marathon. We started in the middle of Season two, and now we are almost at the end of Season Five. :D So thats why I've been a little absent for the past couple of days. On Monday my lessons actually start, and later on I have to edit the film we've been working on. (which totally is gonna blow, but whatever, I've stopped caring)

SO YEAH. BE BACK MONDAY EVENING I GUESS? :D have a good one guys <3
wow long post is long and rambly

I had a [livejournal.com profile] squeakyorm inhabiting my house for the past few days, which was lovely. It's seriously reawakening my love for DC comics. AAA. It's making it's work get me some of the Titans Go! Trade paperbacks and I am like ffffffkfkhghjgjnfm. WE SPENT MOST OF THOSE TWO DAYS, BTW, WATCHING TEEN TITANS. FUCK YES. but of course meant that I was dead to the internet. DID I MISS ANYTHING GAIZ?

Other than that, I'm somewhat better from my cold, and I'm back at University now (SO LONG REGULAR MEALS, SOB SOB). I also have that 2000 word essay to write still.. I'll get to it eventually, seeing as its due Wednesday. Ahaha. D8

Its also occurred to me that I should maybe sell some of my Doujinshi. The exchange rate is good for me to sell to the states, and all my doujin is just collecting dust, and I really need the money. All of it is good condition, and the art is good in most of them. Would anyone be at all interested in buying any? I'll probably post it on the kh yaoi LJ, but I was gonna open it up to my flist first. I've got, 11 AxelRoxas (most of which are pretty pagey books), 1 SasoDei (Contrail), 1 KakashiObito and 1 AllenLavi.

If anyone shows any interest I'll do a photo post. No idea how much I'm going to sell them for, seeing as a lot of them vary in size and content - for example I have FineFineFine! (AxelRoxas) volumes one and two are lumped into one book, so that would be more expensive than volume three which is on its own. But if you express any interest, let me know C:

My mom is giving me her credit card, PIN number, and releasing me and my sister on the January Sales tomorrow. Somehow I think this was an unwise choice on her part, even though we both have limits to what we can spend 8D;

Hopefully I can snag a few bargains before Uni, I am in desperate need of new shoes and new jumpers @_@ Seriously my pair of purple converse are coming away from the sole at the back. I have half a flipflop on one foot 8D;

All in all I am feeling a lot better than I was. My family is awesome that way and have been threatening to call people which I found amusing, and I am HOPEFULLY (IF SOMEONE ASKS FOR PERMISSION GODDAMNIT) going to London to spend my New Years with [livejournal.com profile] squeakyorm so I've got SOMETHING to look forward to. Ilu bb <3 And then I have to work on a evil essay that my theory teacher lumped on us, all unprepared. you never taught us about post-modernism in animation you ho D:<

And then its back to Wales on the 10th. \o/ Which I am excited about, seeing all my friends, but also terrified because of the new project and other deadlines. Aaa D8
