576th entry ~ We've been invaded by Asian Beetles.
4:45pm
I do apologize once again for the lack of updating lately. I haven’t been busy just haven’t felt the urge to write. Until last night. I must start by stating it is really hot in this apartment right now. It is 81 out in the living room. Ah, gotta love having a West facing apartment! I’m thinking we won’t have an issue with heat this winter. Also note, it is 67 outside. Yup, gotta love it.
We have been invaded by Asian Beetles today. It’s been buggy the past week or so, but today we have been bombarded. Not fun. I have been sucking up these little pests the majority of the afternoon. The vacuum cleaner is nearly full with them, along with other shit that randomly lays around the apartment. I have never vacuumed up so much dust in my life until I moved to this place!!! Really makes me wonder if the management even does anything to maintain them. Good thing I’ve already gotten them in trouble with the city as well as a nasty review online. Ah yes, I can be a bitch sometimes. I would also like to state for the record that we live on the second floor and I have never had so many bug issues in a house as I have here. Second floor. First floor must really suck.
Still no luck on the job front issue. Haven’t actually heard from the lady I’ve been working with at the temp agency in over a week. I emailed her today but she usually never replies. I suppose I’ll have to call Monday. I’m pretty sure temp agencies are supposed to work for you, not me having to bother them all the time to make sure they are doing their job.
Continuing on with the guys I mentioned last time, they are no more. Well they are but they aren’t. Turns out one of them really annoys me because he’s still hung up over another girl yet doesn’t tell me about it. Note: When you give me your first and last name, I will find you on Facebook or Myspace. The second one just found out that his on again off again ex girlfriend is pregnant with his baby, which he thought he couldn’t have kids AND he just put a deposit down on an apartment. So nothing will be happening with either of these guys. I have not shared this with the boyfriend however. He doesn’t seem bothered by this idea much anymore, so I won’t share unless he asks. Man, I thought I had a drama filled life!
Random thought: I can’t believe I once used to like Avril Lavinge.
I have now taken to coloring. You remember when you were a kid parents used to sit you down and make you color for hours on end for easy entertainment? Or when your in kindergarten you used to color on things other than the homework you were assigned to? And by third grade you are quite sick of coloring all together? Okay, well I did. I hated it for years. Then they invented colored pencils! Anyway, I have taken to coloring again, with crayons! My friend got me a coloring book last year for Christmas and I haven’t used it much because I don’t have anything to color with except highlighter or busted up crayons from The Ground Round. So I went to Target and bought some Twistable crayons! Very fun. I even got the boyfriend into it one day. It’s very relaxing to me. I still try reading, but I think coloring is more fun and more relaxing. I’m currently reading Nicholas Sparks latest book The Choice but his books are so predictable I get bored with them sometimes. He is my favorite author, but he gets boring because they are always in the same format. It is good though.
***Dancing in my head to Cascada***
I see a beetle on the ceiling. Shudder.
I have decided I am going home next weekend. I make it sound like I’m still in college where it’s a trip to go home. I live an hour and a half away from home, so it is a chore in a way. I need a weekend away from him and I haven’t been home in over a month now, so it’ll be good for me. I’m thinking I’m going to go home to help my friend and her mom out with a Pampered Chef event in Madison, though I’m dreading getting up before the sun rises. Ugh. Haven’t done that in probably over a year. I’ll probably spend the night at my friends on Friday night and then spend the night with my mom on Saturday. I’m debating whether I want to tell my father I’ll be in town. I usually enjoy ignoring him. It’s like a game and I kick ass at it.
I turn the legal drinking age of 21 on Wednesday. Am I excited about this? No. Why? I have no friends to spend my birthday with. I will be bored shitless in this apartment the majority of the day and during the evening, who cares. So, I will celebrate a milestone by myself. Yeah!
Ooh, good news! I’ve been actually sleeping decent the past two nights! Yeah! No pills! I do think it helps that I don’t go to bed until 1 am and don’t wake up until darn close to 11 am. When I get a job, I’m going to be completely lost. Yes, I do know this.
Time to end this entry and get the laundry finished and dinner made. I’d like to with my friend Sam a Happy 23rd Birthday. Sorry I forgot your birthday until you mentioned it!
