Okay. sweatdrop
I noticed I hadn't updated this journal in nearly 6 months and I thought I'd better just type something.
Lesse. My job has not changed, still sucks and I'm still searching for something better. The Michigan job market absolutely blows.
I got addicted to the minishop DollsHouse, and worked for her designing items and working on the coding. The shop went on hiatus due to her overload of school work and I had to find something else to do.
I did the coding for a minishop, TecShop, that recently opened. There was a whole bunch of crap with the free host I had used, so I just bought my own domain, infinite-iota.net, and I'm hosting her there as a favor. I'm also hired on for a shop, Sacrifice. They're not open yet, I'm actually not even doing any coding yet, they need the cert before I can really start. Soonish, I hope.
And, I'm also opening my own shop. I'm hiring now, 'cause I'll need help. I have lots of spiffy item designers but I'm still looking for a shop artist and a shop manager. I'm crossing my fingers that I'll have some luck finding someone soonish. It's going to be a Gacha themed shop, I'll program essentially a randomizer that will generate an item once the user buys tokens from the shop. Some items are common, others are uncommon and a few are rare. It'll be huge, you just wait. XDD 3nodding
I've also been hooked on Audition for a while now, but I've been playing a lot lately. I kinda suck, 'cause I can't 8k or chance, but it's still fun. Especially when I pwn the n00bs. XD It's mean, but it makes my ego happy.
I'm sewing a quilt and turning it into a roman shade for the living room. We painted it blue and need new curtains to match. I actually just finished the quilt part today, or mostly. I need to add borders and then I can get to turning it into a shade. I have to figure out what color fabric I want on the cornice board. *ponders*
Okay, well, I think that's it. I just wanted to post SOMETHING in here.

So, I noticed this hadn't been updated in a while. Letssee...
That job blew me off, so no luck there. My job now sucks more every day. My boss is screwing everyone over and lying constantly. It's gonna get pretty ugly, 'cause everyone's going to quit and we're going to be understaffed and screwed. I'm not going to pick up anybody's slack, but I might stick around just to watch the show. At least until something better comes along.
Ron's birthday is the 20th. He's going to be an old man. Twenty-six. xd I bought him a camera bag and promised to clean the house top to bottom. I told him his "office" (read: room where he stashes junk) was out of the question though. I'll probably be cleaning all wednesday. Fun fun.
This Saturday I'm forcing my best friend to meet him. It's been a year and a half and they haven't even met. We're going to Benihana and it'll be fun. I just have to make sure he's on his best behavoir. sweatdrop
Now I need to decide what I'm doing for my profile... I think purple and black. I just have to find images that match the song lyrics I wanna use...

So, I was interviewed for that job. It sounded good, but they always do that to you. I'm trying to not get my hopes all up, but I know I am. My job at the kennel sucks more every time and my manager is being a total b***h. I'm ready for a change, and it can come NOW.
As I said before, keep your fingers crossed for me fellow Gaians! I want teh job!

So, yeah, my friend just got a job for a company making more than double what currently make. I was super jealous, until she told me that she'd originally interviewed for a position as a web/graphics designer and that she didn't get THAT job, but they hired her for another. The position is still open, so she gave me the contact info and I applied. I'm anxiously waiting to hear back. I hope they at least interview me. I'm sure if I go in there and can talk to them, they'll be much more impressed than by looking at my resume. I mean, all the stuff I've designed has been for personal use, but that doesn't mean I don't know my s**t. 'Cause I damn well do.
Wish me luck, Gaia. I'll keep ya posted! I so need this job, my wimpy paychecks have been stressing me out.

So, obviously I never heard back from anybody regarding my friend's banning, but that's to be expected. Gaia is seriously going downhill. There are glitched items galore, half the time the current games don't work properly and they're releasing new, lame feature like Gaia Cinema? I'm getting quite disillusioned with this site. They really need to fix the current features before releasing new ones that the users don't even really like.
So yeah, I'm getting a little tired of Gaia. I'll still poke around, and I've gone through this "Gaia - blah" phase before. I just hope things will improve. I really want the admins to prove me wrong. I welcome it!

So, I don't know if she'll read this, but my best friend in real life is Mad Prince Virid on Gaia. Anyway, her old account, illnessillusion, was banned and it's pretty much my fault. Back in 2005, I went for about 6 months without logging into Gaia. When I finally logged in, a few of my donation items were missing. It was only donation items that were missing, and all my gold was still there. I assumed it was a glitch, and submitted a report. They ask you for your real life friends, so I put her username down, along with some other friends. They sent me back one of my missing items (there were others). They neglected to tell me they'd banned Sarah's account for hacking me. I found out a few days later when she told me. They didn't even tell her whose account they banned her for hacking into, either, but I was able to put 2 and 2 together.
Here's the deal. We're best friends, and we've lived together for brief periods of time. We use each other's computers and probably have had the same IP addresses from time to time. We don't share accounts, and I don't know her password and she doesn't know mine. When we first joined, she didn't have a credit card and I did, so I'd buy extra donation items and trade them to her. She would just pay me back with cash.
Honestly, we started our accounts one day apart. We have the same freaking items, except hers were male items, and mine are for girls! She has no reason to hack into my account. It's absurd. That aside, I love her, but she's not even smart enough to "hack" an account. She is pretty clueless when it comes to computers.
I guess I can see how it might look that she "hacked" me, but they didn't investigate anything. They used the information I supplied on that form for a different purpose than they implied it would be used, and did not even question either of us prior to the banning.
I have sent so many emails I've lost track and I've not heard back once. I'm frustrated beyond belief and nobody seems to know anything about how to get an account unbanned, or at least how to get someone to LOOK over the information again. I'm so fed up with Gaia it's not even funny.

It's nearly 2 am and I need to be at work at 7 am and I can't sleep. So here's a random thing I yanked from someone's livejournal. Yes, I actually browsed LJ. *omg*
Type your FIRST REACTION when you hear these 35 words (don't spend time thinking - just your gut reaction please):
1. I need a cigarette: It's been a while
2. Sex: God damn
3. Relationships: Pain in the ******** a**
4. Your Last Ex: Sean
5. Power: ful
6. Marijuana: yes, please
7. Crack: pull up your pants, plzkthx
8. Food: ugh, too full
9. This President: loser
10. War: and Peace
11. Cars: I wonder if that movie is worthwhile?
12. Gas Prices: rising, again. blah.
13. Halloween: no, not now.
14. Bon Jovi: SHOT THROUGH THE HEART!
15. Religion: chaos
16. MySpace: STUPID
17. Worst Fear: failure
18. Marriage: permanent
19. Fashion: david bowie
20. Brunettes: amanda
21. Redheads: red-headed sluts
22: Work: Pat
23: Pass the time: browsing online
24: Football: TOUCHDOWN!!
25: One night Stands: mmmmmm...
26: Pet Peeve: bad grammar
27: Pixie Stix: Don't they spell it pixy stix?
28: Vanilla Ice: Under Pressure

31: Pajamas: undehs and a tank top
32. Wood: morning
33. Surfers: online
34. Pictures: digital
35. First Love: ron
Har, har. So, I don't think Ron was my first love, so that's interesting. Though using 2 words or a phrase for a word association throws it off a bit, eh. I know have You Give Love A Bad Name stuck in my head, which is not going to help with my goal of sleeping. I have less than 4 hours until my alarm goes off. Damnit. I just can't sleep without Ron next to me any more! *misses him*

So, life has been... acceptable lately. Not great or anything, but not awful. I figured out which school I want to go to, but it's quite 'spensive. I'll probably go to the local community college and get some gen eds out of the way first.
January 27 marked one year with Ron. We've known each other longer (damn, almost TWO years - it seems like I met him just yesterday!) but yeah, one year dating each other without seeing other people in between. He got tickets for us to see Cirque du Soleil's Delerium and it was amazing. We've been fighting a lot lately over stupid little things, though. I guess that can't be avoided when you're around someone that much, but it's getting pretty old.
I'm pretty much feeling better now, thankfully. I just had my final follow-up today and everything's cleared up. And this time I actually do FEEL better, I have energy, my mind doesn't feel laggy (like this computer, *rawr*) and I just feel GOOD. It's such a relief. BUT, I keep trying to stay up all hours of the night, and that's not good for me. Ron's work schedule has got my sleeping habits all screwed up! *grumbles*
Gaia has just changed up homes and made it so everyone can have a home... which sadly has made me want to spend the couple thousand gold I've been saving for a rainy day on housing stuff. I never really looked at it before, and it's all so cute. Damn it. rolleyes
