I have a job interview on Monday! Yay! =D

Also, holy shit Yule Con is tomorrow! Pretty excited about that, anyone that is going, look forward to seeing crimsindreamer and myself at our art table under the name Lemon & Lime

Hmm I'll likely only cosplay Phoenix Wright on Saturday, but if I take my belts I'll wear my signature Kamen Rider outfits =3 Otherwise, just random Neko outfits lol.

So yeah, just really determined to get this job and actually get a car finally! Its crazy to think that I may actually be able to afford one soon!

I've been having a good time over here at mum's. My older sister and I have been bonding over Bruce Lee movies. We both agree that he was a sexy and amazing man. Also we watched that 1993 movie based on his life, I'd never seen it before. I loved it! Jason Scott Lee is HOT! <333 Looks just like Bruce Lee, its so awesome! I had actually wound up sketching a Bruce Lee pic, my mom laid claim to it, she was a fangirl back in those days hahaha. I've just been getting in touch with my love for martial arts films. Something tells me I need to marathon the Kill Bill movies again.

I've been debating on looking for a new job once again. I'm so tired of this kind of retail, I want to do something a bit different. But since I still have no car, my choices are a bit limited. I want to try the Central Market that is just a mere 10-15 min walk away from my apartment. I hope I can get a job there. Its pretty high end so I can assume they pay pretty good.

I've been thinking about how I am going to tackle these two commissions I've got to finish soon! I may just do them in marker since my computer is so slow and unreliable. Sounds like a plan.

Hmm I will be going back home tomorrow evening... I get to work at 6am on Wednesday, yaay!! -_-;

I must apologize for being so made of fail and being slow at finishing commissions >_> Work seems to be taking more and more out of me lately, but I will finish the ones I have right now, I promise! I'm also having to deal with a horridly slow computer, so please bear with me and thank you for being patient with me!

Also, this BB&B that I work at now is way different than the other one. For one thing, it is WAY more busy. I've been worn out almost everyday... Ugh. Just one more year. One more.

In the meantime...
( have some artz )

...I wish anyway.

So Thursday was my last day at the BB&B that I've been working at for almost a year. Yeah. I'm gonna miss the people that I've worked with there. I felt a little sad leaving, but I do feel really good as well because I called the store that is closer to where I am moving. I talked to the manager, telling him that I recently put in my application there and if there was a position for me there at all. Well, he basically told me that he already knew about me (My manager put in a good word for me there) and that I can basically start on Monday =3

So yes, job GET!

However, I'm still willing to take commissions later, might give it a rest for a bit while I work on the ones I have already. Here's the journal for that info in case anyone is interested: http://pirateneko.deviantart.com/journal/26367456/

So I am looking forward to moving tomorrow! We've got most everything packed now. Just gotta pick up my key on Friday so we can go ahead and sign the lease on Saturday and move in!

( She never shuts up about Kamen Rider, get over it XD )

I hate to do this, but I really need to figure out a way to make some quick cash. I'm barely able to make rent, mostly thanks to Charli and Brandee. But I hate not being able to fend for myself, so I'm thinking I should take some quick sketch commissions.

Basically, I'll draw bust shots in black and white, $5 for one character $10 for two, etc...
Trying to keep it somewhat simple so I can actually finish these in a decent amount of time.

Any takers? I'll do up to 5 for now. Paypal is preferred, my email for that is nekokaizoku@gmail.com

So after a lot of thinking these days about what I want to do with my life.... I decided I want to be an art teacher.

( Is she crazy, or just frackin' batshit insane? )

I hate fucking bitches that shop at Bed Bath & Beyond and think they can leave their fucking mess all over my department and expect me to not clean it up when they are NOT THERE?!

This stupid woman figured it was ok to leave her three carts of drapery rods and panels, along with some stuff on the FLOOR! I periodically checked on her and her friend to make sure they were doing ok. After a while, and helping other more pleasant customers, they were nowhere to be seen, didn't even say they were returning. And they left 3 carts in the windows hardware, as well as the stuff on the floor. I looked around and when I did not see them, I assumed they had left so I put everything back.... Apparently, she was looking around in the bedding department and I ran into her and I was sorta surprised to see her, and she asked me if I had put everything away... Of course, I innocently admitted that I did. She got all pissed off and I apologized profusely, I even helped her put everything back, but she continued to throw her tantrum.

Its like, SERIOUSLY LADY! Did you really expect me to just leave your mess and have my department look like crap?! And the fact that stuff on the floor could have caused an accident and then, hello, LAWSUIT!

Fucking ungrateful cunts.

Finished my first comic for GeeksandDorks.com a few days ago =D

BOOSH!

The feedback I got for it was hilarious too!

Also, we may have found a nice new apartment to move into when our lease is up in August, yay! We're going to get our applications to lease the apartment today before I go to work.

You know, its funny when you know the truth about someone but they will continue to lie to you with a straight face.


You know what? Fuck you asshole. You only wish it were true. I think I can do much better than you, thank you. Oh WAIT. I AM.

Charli, did I ever tell you that you are an amazing girlfriend? Well you are. For so many reasons. Being understanding about certain douchebaggery that happened recently is one of them. <3 Love you, babe.

HOLY SHITBALLS GUESS WHAT CAME IN THE MAIL TODAY!!!

( Its SUPER HERO TIIME!! )

COOKING TIME!! (seriously, I need to make some lunch, lolz)

Hmmm I haven't posted in a while, I am thinking of doing some LJ spring cleaning as far as communities go, since I hardly visit any that I am in.

( Read on if you are a gamer nerd like me XD )

Dear sweet GOD.... The opening for Kamen Rider Decade is AMAZING


Just thought I would share.

( HOLY FUCK DO WANT!!! )

Also, the 13th was mine and Charli's 1 year anniversary~ =3 I got to sleep most of the day, it was nice.

Just writing down a quick list so I don't forget anything important

( GET! )

That should cover everything...

I finished redoing my henshin belt for May Lee, it looks a lot more finished now! I'm pretty happy with it, even if it is still ghetto-rigged XD Looks much better than before though.

Still need to get the blue stripes on the May Lee pants hand-stitched a bit (around my thighs... I have fat thighs, shut up.)

Charli took in my shirt as well, since I've lost weight since I last wore it XD

Also, I gotta finish helping my sister with her Tifa cosplay. Just a few odds and ends, she did most of it herself, which is awesome. She pretty much redid the whole thing since wearing it to Oni Con 2007.

I was supposed to work tonight, but I wasn't feeling good so yeah.... Though its a good thing I didn't go in, I wouldn't have finished my stuff in time!

Also, I'm going to start my second job on Monday morning, looking forward to that as well!
Inventory is alright, I'm still on that clock, as you can see XD Its sad that I am not tired yet. I feel bad for not going in since they gave me Friday off already, but oh well, it should be fine.

I'm pretty much going to be dead to the world for the next three weeks, except maybe for Ikki, but don't be surprised if I'm a zombie by then >_<

Inventory is alright, not hard, just tedious. Its just really long hours into the morning, starting around 9pm, which means I will hardly see any of my roommates at all for a while, since I will be sleeping all day. I came home at 7:45 from Lewisville this morning, which is like 35 min from where I live. 3 more weeks of this crap, but I will have a kickass paycheck from it.

I have some stuff that I owe people, just need to find the time to scan them and finish them off...

Well, after some serious thinking, and a talk with my boss yesterday.... I decided that I'm not going to quit Bed Bath & Beyond. They are willing to work with me and let me have that weekend off for Ikki, AND I get to be part of the inventory crew. Gonna be working overnights at other stores... counting merchandise and working 40 hours a week with weekends off for the next 3 weeks. Sure beats inventory prep though haha. My next two paychecks are going to be amazing.

I am still keeping that second job that I found, so I have accomplished what I wanted; having 2 jobs. One job for bills/rent/groceries and the other for fun stuff like cons XD. ALSO, I won't be working Sundays at BB&B anymore which is awesome because I hate working there on Sundays.

The main reason I feel I need to stay is because we are strapped for cash as it is, and I don't want to jeopardize anything with my roommates. That and Charli hasn't found another job yet, which worries me, so I'll do my best to encourage her to find something better. I don't think she is going to go back to BB&B.

So that's pretty much my life right now... Next week is going to be interesting.

Today, I worked from 8-3:30... God I am tired now...

Aside from that, I am really looking forward to Ikki Con next weekend!! I'm taking like 3 cosplays:
Friday - Momotaros (femme version human form) from Kamen Rider Den-O
Saturday - May Lee from King of Fighters
Sunday - CP9 Kaku from One Piece

I SO did not cry at the end of Kamen Rider Den-O....

( Kotae wa kiite ne yo! )

Ok. So, I'm now starting another Kamen Rider series, the one that came out the year before Den-O, Kamen Rider Kabuto. Pretty good so far, it has a more serious tone to it, which is interesting. Den-O was very light-hearted and fun.

That song has been stuck in my head all night, thanks Rock Band 2....

My roommate Donnie cut my hair, it looks pretty fresh =D
( BOOSH! )

Also, Tom Baker is awesome and I want his scarf XD.

Neko is bored... probably gonna clean and then play some Rival Schools. In the meantime, here are some pics from Oni Con =D

( Hissatsu... Part 1 )

MERRY CHRISTMAS, EVERYONE!!

We just got through opening gifts here at our apartment. I'm sad that I didn't get to finish my Christmas shopping for some people =( Ran outta money.... But hey! I get paid tomorrow =D

Jadie, I got your card, thank you!! Its so pretty! <3 I need to remember to send out cards, I always forget >_<;

Local-chan! We need to watch that League of Gentlemen Christmas Special! Sorry I haven't been on all week, but I hope we can watch it soon!

Anyways, hope everyone is enjoying their holidays!


P.S. 8-bit Christmas music is amazing XD
