So things that have happened recently:

1)  I finally let Jeremy rearrange the living room how he wanted to.  I admit:  I am a freak.  I hate it when people rearrange things, at least my things.  But hell, once Jeremy was rearranging things in his closet and I got all weird on him.  I just don't like it.  Anyway the re-arrange is ok, the window is no longer blocked by the TV, which is a big plus.  I'm a little worried about the animals (bunnies are animals of routine and I'm worried he'll do his business where his litter box/cage USED to be, also it re-draws territory that Kirk thought was his, so he keeps chasing the bunny away from his cage & litter etc).  But otherwise, other than my hatred of change itself, it is alright.

2)  Dad had me come to his house and mark things I want to keep.  He's getting rid of things so he can move in with his new wife.  Again, I went into this knowing I would hate it.  However I didn't realize he had done the worst possible thing:  get rid of my stuffed animals.  Seriously... I'd be upset if he got rid of my books or something, but my stuffed animals?  I have this (completely illogical, I admit it) attachment.  I saw velveteen rabbit when I was little & Toy Story too many times after I was older.  They feel like people to me.  So it was bad enough when he said he gave them to goodwill.  It was 100 times worse when he said the ones that looked too worn (AKA the ones I loved most) he threw away.  I don't know how he thought I would be OK with this (he said we talked about it but I remember no such conversation) considering I've saved these animals thus far and am a 30 year old woman.  Why would I save them so long and then be like "yeah it's ok to throw them away."  I'm not mad at him, I'm a freak to be this upset, but I cried and cried.  I still feel horrible... it's like finding out one of your childhood pets was killed and thrown into a dumpster.  By someone you know and love, no less.

3)  Redesigned the website, working more on writing another little quiz/story.  It's fun, now that I have the coding down.  Of course I still have a lot to learn, I only really have the basics right now.

4)  Have an interview for a job at ISU on Thurs.  I kind of didn't want to get another job, and just work on the website, but I changed my mind.  You don't really earn much doing that and I still have bills.  Technically I could live off my savings for quite awhile, but it would be nice not to have to.  Hopefully even if I get a job I can still work on the website and stuff.  It would be cool if I could eventually get the readership I need to make a living without an employer but I think those people are a very lucky few.

5)  Saw Pauly Shore in Peoria!  It was really cool.  I didn't know if he would be good or not, I've only really seen his movies and that doesn't necessarily translate into good stand-up, but he was great.  I also liked the people who opened for him, Sandy Denton (he was actually even slightly funnier than Pauly, in my opinion) and a local guy who I unfortunately didn't catch his name, but was hilarious as well.  I also have a very blurry picture of Pauly, Sandy, my friend Chasity, and me (ch-ch-check out facebook if you want to see it).  The club owner didn't turn on the lights when people were getting pictures of themselves with him, how douchey is that?  But all in all, I had a good time with the weaaaaasel, bud-dy!   It was also nice hanging out with Chasity again, she was a work friend I hadn't really seen since I got fired.

6)  Been playing a lot of Cards Against Humanity, which is really fun.  Ben got it (I had been thinking of getting it when he turned up having it, so bonus:  I didn't even have to buy it or clutter up my house with even more games!)  it's sort of similar to Apples to Apples but it is specifically MEANT for humor, particularly darker or more raunchy humor... cards include things like "two midgets shitting in a bucket," or "Mecha-Hitler."

...and that's all I can remember.
