mid-summer checkup

I'm a cheap bastard. I am currently sitting in my car outside a closed restaurant in my neighborhood because I can pick up on free wi-fi. Drinking in the restaurant sounded great, but I would rather be a cheap bastard for the time being and do this ghetto style. Don't act like you haven't done this at any given point in your life!!!!
Again, life has been full of tricks and trapdoors for me to fall through as of late. I work swing shift in customer service hell so by the time I get off of work, everyone I know is already falling asleep for the day and I'm left to my own devices like a shit-house mouse in an attic somewhere scratching around. I've been getting weekends off but with all the OT I've worked for the last few months, I feel like I live at my job and have been cut off from my friends. I finally got to hang out with Eran on sunday and it didn't end well. We laid in a park for about 5 hours drinking a half rack of beer and shunning all forms of sunscreen and water to maintain hydration. By the end of the night, I had "dirt burn" from falling on my ass while wearing a skirt, picked an argument that I'm not sure was entirely valid and sunburned my back and butt. The headache the next day was stellar ---drinking is not equal to socializing....repeat after me....

My computer also took a dump on me and all my neighbors that I used to steal internet from moved away and were replaced by upstanding citizens who know how to set up a closed network. (please, keep your networks open! It helps us cheap bastards that live around you stay calm and complacent rather than drinking until 4am and ranting in the middle of the street and waking up all the neighbors....like 3 weeks ago....I mean--hypothetically speaking...) *ahem* so the computer had a partial crap-out and my Microsoft and Adobe products ate shit, but they can suck it because I just upgraded to better, more complete versions of the programs. Suck it CS3!!! You heard me. Now I can continue to makes design and make more clothes, take pictures and upload with impunity. It will also keep me busy enough that I will pass out and not keep my poor neighbors up with the deranged rantings and late night "home improvements" of a 27 year old who is only posing as an adult.

In other super-fucking-cool news, my model Amelia got married this last month and the Ojala Etsy store has just officially hit its 50-sales mark. All these things are small victories and I will take each and everyone one of them.

Back to enjoying the rest of july. ---CHEERS!!!
