1) Therapy.
to start, for the past month or so I've been going to a therapist every other week. pour quoi? my social anxiety skyrocketed a while back and, when I was having a bad enough time that when I was around my awesome dnd group I needed to step out. I've never done that before - i've had anxiety attacks around them, sure, but I've always been able to calm the hell down.
so, by that point (and after a fight with my parents) it was decided that I was probably due for a little bit of help.
It's been going great, i love my therapist, she's amazing! I swear, for a woman who I've technically only known for 4 hours out of my life, she's already a friend to me. I swear, we spend so much time just talking about pointless things xD we get along really well, and I've gotten better in the areas I've sought to improve! Really, it's great.
2) Volunteering
As of late I've been volunteering at a little Café in the downtown area - just picking up some job experience, meeting some new people, lotsa fun! My first day was about three weeks ago and it was great! Everyone was super nice, very patient with me, very helpful. Granted, I was left alone to deal with 3 customers, but that was mostly a fault of my own for not asking "HEY could someone come help me?" as well as forgetting that speed was not of the essence there xD all in all, really sweet little place. I love it to bits and I hope that I can make it in tomorrow. Which brings me to my next point...
3) Ick Ick Ick Sick Sick Sick
I am ill. Go figure xD
I've actually been sick for the past two weeks or so, but it's only just hitting me now. It's mostly inner ear and sinus stuff, but it's had less than favorable effects on my gastrointestinal system as well. I thought I could make it through the day today - just tough it out and get a good sleep tonight.... turns out I was wrong xD
after on again, off again nausea, dizziness and all sorts of unpleasant feelings, I decided to go home. I thought that I was at least feeling well enough to do some productive things.... turns out I was wrong about that as well. I pretty much just slept from 11:30 to 5:30. I'm still feeling really, quite icky and I'm continuously overheating... So I hope I'll be at school/volunteering tomorrow, but there's no guarantee.
4) The unfortunate tale of Dwayne the MP3
Okay, so this one's actually kind of funny - and I'm real proud of myself for not getting upset over it at the time!
It all technically starts a couple of days before hand. I had gone to the mall with my friends Greg, Jesse and Shin after a short nonsensical DND session at Mistie's house (which also included Windy) Durring this excursion, Greg and Shin were kind enough to buy me a lovely sweater that I absolutely ADORE! It's a little bit more of a tunic style than what I'm used to - so it's a big longer and the pockets are far lower than on my other sweaters.
All in all, pretty damn badass.
So, on the first day of school it was also my first day of volunteering. At the back of my school there's this little paved path that goes right to the corner by the bus I needed to catch to get downtown. So I'm struttin my stuff, listening to I wish I had a Portal Gun, thinkin that I'm gonna have the best day ever... And I get maybe three feet or so from the corner by the stop.
And then the bus goes past me.
So, like any logical and sane person, I start cursing profusely and running to catch that mother funker. My headphones slipped off my ears (right at the line "If I'm locked out my apartment I'd use the companion cube!") and I fricken bolt after that bus. As I'm running, I notice that the chord for my headphones is dangling by my feet, but I dint really pay it any attention since my headphones CONSTANTLY fall out of my MP3s.
Luckily, the bus driver sees be running, and I wouldn't have been surprised if she'd heard me cursing as well. So I get on the bus, head to the back (like the loner mcderp pants that I am.) and I check my pocket for my MP3. It's not there.
I check my other pocket. Not there either. I check my jeans. Nope. And then, in a moment of terrifying clarity, I look out the back window of the bus to see a small, black, MP3 sized rectangle in the road. And then, sitting there like a guilty criminal faced with undeniable proof against them, I watched as a car came and---
CRUNCH!!!
Poor Dwayne. We hardly knew thee.
5) The small but mighty Pippa the MP3
IN OTHER NEWS, I got a new MP3 and named her Pippa. She's a Sansa Sandisk Clip+ and she's working wonders for me. She's only 4GB, but I can upgrade her by slipping an SD card in.
She's really quite lovely - very tiny though. All she displays is the title of the song that's playing, the artist, how far along you are into the song, the battery life, and whether or not it's on repeat/shuffle.
And, one of the best parts about her - she only cost 49.99 which is FANTASTIC compared to some of the other ones I could have gotten.
She is perfect for what I need and, though Dwayne will be missed, she's a lovely little girl.
6) Where the hell is Kaz's check.
Over the summer I did some freelance artwork, two logos that I was going to be payed 200 bucks for all together. This was back in the middle of august and I was told that my invoice would be submitted a week late BUT I would get the money for it soon.
So, I waited two weeks, checking the mail every so often to see if it had come yet. after three weeks I was getting a little frustrated, and I asked the person who i did the logos for what the hell was going on? He told me that it takes a while for the Finances department to actually process checks and go through everything and that he'd seen it take 6-8 weeks for people to get their money.
That was frustrating. So, I kept waiting (angrily) for my check, complaining to phosphorous_tick every day that it hadn't come in yet. Usually, I wouldn't have been so pushy, but at the time I needed the money for a new MP3. (Luckily for me I'd also babysat my aunt and uncle's dog over the summer for three days, and on friday they gave me a FutureShop gift card with 75 bucks on it. Hence Pippa xD)
But more good(ish) news came on friday. Turns out, the woman who'd been previously handling all the money for the department hadn't actually been working for them in MONTHS. So, when she was called and she told them all this, they contacted the person who WAS responsible for handling my money.
Hopefully i'll be getting it any day now, so I'll finally be able to get a nice external hard drive! aaah, more room on my computer. that'll be lovely.
