You keep coming back disassembled...

Today is Friday.  Woo hoo!

I am kinda sleepy.  But tomorrow is Saturday, which means I can sleep in.  So that is good.

I am making a nifty advertisement.  It has lots of fun animated things.  Well, I think they are fun because I just learned how to do most of them.  They are cool to me.  Soon I will know how to animate lots of things and it'll be really cool.

Tonight: Wedding rehearsal!  Yay!  I am super excited for Matt and Sara's wedding.  I am playing guitar for part of it.

Tomorrow: Wedding!  Yay!

Sunday: Last youth group EVER.  W00t!

Right now: My skin disease on my nose is back again.  Sooooo ugly and gross.  Not fun.

So.  Let's see.  I don't really have much to talk about.  I am boring.

Well.  I guess this blog post will just be lame.

We will come out when it's safe for us...

I am going to learn how to crochet this week. FOR REAL. It is going to be rockin'. I bought some supplies and everything and a book to teach me and I looked up some cute patterns, and soon I will get yarn, and then I will be all set. Woo hoo!

I got some eyeshadow on Etsy today. It was very nearly free. I basically paid $2 for shipping. I needed eyeshadow, too, so that is a good thing. I need an eyeshadow brush, and then my makeup collection will be set for awhile.

Soon I am going to budget out all of the money I am making. Here is the rough draft:

20% - save/not to be spent
40% - save for guitar
10% - give to Jesus
10% - gas
20% - checking account/to be spent if needed

If I save 40% for my guitar, then I should have around $560 in a month towards that. That means that I could conceivably have the money for a very nice guitar by the fall. I like that idea a lot. I am thinking that 40% is pretty high though, so I might end up doing more like 30% and then adding that other 10% to the not-to-be-spent fund. 30% is still a lot, and it wouldn't really take me that much longer to get my guitar that way, and since I am not even totally sure what kind of guitar I want yet that is not really a big deal at all. So maybe I will do that. I don't really know how to budget so this is totally just me pondering. Hahaha. I hope I don't sound like a fool.

I miss Bass.

Today I downloaded a music editing program called Acid Express. I am excited to see if it is cool or not. I haven't ever used one of these fun looping program things, so it should be a fun time.

There's really no way to reach me, because I'm already gone...

Maybe in five or ten yours and mine will meet again
Straighten this whole thing out
Maybe then honesty need not be feared as a friend or an enemy
But this is the distance
And this is my gameface

Another redec.  This is a lot less obnoxious.  It's sort of pretty, I think.  We'll see how I feel about it after I look at it for a while.  Sooner or later I will just make my own and then I don't have to keep disliking the ones offered to me.

So.  Right now I am at work.  Why am I not working, you ask?  Because there is not really anything to work on.  And I'm hungry.  The hungry thing doesn't really have anything to do with anything, except that it is annoying.  I think I will eat something.

Tonight I am going to a baseball game.  Go Bridge!

I have a headache.  A dull, nasty one.  Not cool.  I think maybe I just need a little nap.  I am sleep deprived.

I am getting tired of working at Panera.  It keeps sucking up my evenings and being unpredictable.  I don't like that.  I want to have time with my friends and my family and just to do stuff.  Like read books and watch movies and make stuff and go out with my awesome boyfriend and hang out with my friends and watch movies with my family and things like that.

I am making some nifty icons.  I am finally feeling somewhat inspired about these things.  Is graphic design this hit-or-miss for everybody?

Alright.  There isn't anything else to blog about today.  Adios!

I'm just trying to find my way back to the five, got a lot on my mind, gonna figure it out...

Yay! Blog redecorate! Not sure how I feel about this one yet, but I was getting a little bored with the green leaves. This might be a lot too girly for me.

So, I'm feeling pretty bored right now. Not really much to do at work today. I did get someone to work for me on Saturday at Panera, which is good. Right now I am at Info2Go though. I need something to do that is productive before I explode.

I want these. I think I will get them. www.shopknuckleheads.com is the website, I believe.
