I'm glad you found a job, I know how 1.5 years of unemployment feels like, I was unemployed for 2 years and it SUCKED.

On Tuesday night, Suzan DelBene (whom I am interning for) won second place in the primary for Washington's 1st Congressional District, essentially becoming the Democratic nominee to face Republican John Koster in November.

On Wednesday, the girl who I have been dating called me. She had misunderstood the results and thought that Suzan had lost, so she wanted to make sure I'm OK.

I got off my ass and got a new account at a bank, allowing me to qualify for a kickass scholarhship for 2013.
Guys, this is getting creepy. Can we talk about cannibalism instead?

So, again, this was technically yesterday, but I was incredibly busy and didn't really have time (or energy) for computer things.

First and foremost, I finally got a job! I'm now a porter-for-hire through a staffing company that helps apartment complexes find additional maintenance and leasing staff when they need the help. Take that, 1.5yrs of unemployment!
Secondly, after getting back from the interview and changing, I went to a bar and had a really long conversation with one of my closest friends. I also enjoyed getting drunk for the first time, which may have been due to the fact that my friend is more of a philosophical drunk than, y'know, ragey or depressed or something. I also tried my first tequila shot, and this mixed drink that's basically whiskey and lemonade, which was surprisingly good! I then proceeded to crash on my friend's couch, since she lives closer to the bar and I don't currently have keys to my building (another story for a different thread). Not a bad evening at all.
Nice, congrats!  ;D


In my own yay, I finally finished all the placement tests I need for the classes I want to take in the fall.

Got to work for my mom's friend again today, which means an extra $70 in my pocket (and, later, my account).  Also, I heard what is possibly the most hilarious thing I've ever heard in my life...

The lady's son is, unfortunately, very autistic, but he's the sweet kind that's kinda just off in his own little world and wouldn't hurt anyone.  Anywho, we were in her car, she was takin my brother and I ('long with her and her son) out to Sonic for dinner, and the topic of the whole Chick-Fil-A idiocy came up.  Her son said the most epic five words ever, regarding them: "They're a bunch of losers."

SO.  MANY.  POINTS.

2-3000 people came out in support of same sex marriage rights today. Quite a good turnout by our standards.

After getting some recommendations from other people, I went out today scouting for tattoo shops. Because I've had a shitty few months, just got out of a bad situation, and my birthday is coming, and I fucking deserve a present! All I intended to do was get appraisals for one specific tattoo, a quote from Shakespeare's 'Much Ado About Nothing': 'For I was born to speak all mirth and no matter.' I asked around in NY (pre-clusterfuck) and was told usually $200-$250, for a little script tattoo on a wrist. Which is what my back tattoo cost and it's about ten times bigger. So when the second place I checked today said it would be $100, I was pretty damn happy.

And even happier when they said they could do it right then.

And WAY happier when it ended up costing $90.

So I walked away today with a tattoo without expecting to get one. I love it. And it didn't hurt nearly as much as I thought it would for being such a sensitive area. Probably because the needle she used was really tiny.

Will show photos once I can take the bandage off.

I got to see my friend for the first time in about 3 years. He swung by randomly and I got to meet his baby son. He's a little fat cutie.

All my time spent practicing is starting to pay off and I can finally hit a high note while singing without my voice cracking.
