I had to distract a happy purring matrix off of my arms with dinner before I could type this out. Typing small comments with one hand is easy, but I'm not skilled enough for entire posts. :)

I made my own pizza tonight. A small with TONS of mushrooms, some onion, and some bacon. And I poured garlic sauce all over it when it was done. It was one of the most delicious things I have ever eaten. Yummm.

I delivered to a garage where some boys were putting together a project for an engineering class. They stood and talked to me for a minute, about my cool beanie hat and how much money I make and such. One of them was inspecting my car and I asked him what was up, and he asked how the car topper stayed on. I told him it was magnets, and they said, "Man, we need magnets for our project, could we have one?"... and I said, "Sure, I don't care!" They were really astonished I had said yes. We pulled the topper off and unscrewed one of the magnets (there are 6 keeping it on, I didn't need all of 'em) and they got to keep it. They offered me pizza and beer in return, but it was early in the night so I declined and went on my merry way. :)

Today was a pretty good day. Saxon was too busy for my liking, but it wasn't horrible. I had yummy thai for lunch. Goldbug and I took Pixel to the vet - instead of using the cat carrier, Pixel rode in goldbug's lap in the car. Since she (Pixel) was still very uncertain about this car business, she made a lot of meowing noise and shed a WHOLE LOT on goldbug's lap. Goldbug told her it was okay, and petted her a lot. The vet gave her a rabies shot and a leukemia shot, and weighed her - she has gained 10 ounces since November! She weighs 6 pounds 14.5 ounces. Almost 7 pounds! What a big kitty! (heehee)

Then we got back in the car, and she was much more relaxed. I guess she knew that now it was time to go home. But it wasn't - I took her to the physics building and into the lab. I figured she would have a exciting trip to tell Matrix about. She met Dr. Shafer-Ray and Dr. Johnson, and saw Brendan. Then she finally got to come home.

I took a nap. I missed aerobics. Blah. I need to get back to paying attention to that.

No mysterious devil markings in pizza delivery tonight....

ACK

Um... umm....
I made $32 in tips tonight.
I worked for 4.80 hours, according to my time slip.
How many $/hr does that make, kids?

That's right, $6.66(repeating).

I'm going to freak out here soon.

I Am A: Neutral Good Half-Elf Bard Druid


Alignment:
Neutral Good characters believe in the power of good above all else. They will work to make the world a better place, and will do whatever is necessary to bring that about, whether it goes for or against whatever is considered 'normal'.


Race:
Half-Elves are a cross between a human and an elf. They are smaller, like their elven ancestors, but have a much shorter lifespan. They are sometimes looked down upon as half-breeds, but this is rare. They have both the curious drive of humans and the patience of elves.


Primary Class:
Bards are the entertainers. They sing, dance, and play instruments to make other people happy, and, frequently, make money. They also tend to dabble in magic a bit.


Secondary Class:
Druids are a special variety of Cleric who serves the Earth, and can call upon the power in the earth to accomplish their goals. They tend to be somewhat fanatical about defending natural settings.

hmm

I found a cool site, Roommate Access. I listed myself as looking for a room over the summer in the South Boston area. I won't pay the $80 fee to be able to contact people until it gets too close to summer, though. Plus there's very little chance that someone will be looking now for a roommate in May, heh. I just thought it was a cool idea.

I won't be able to seriously live with Jason because he has to live in the dorms and have a roommate, and we don't know who that will be. It might be a friend that is cool with me staying, and it might be someone random and horrible. Oh well.

I'm at the lab for a few hours. Dorkdorkdork...

I post a lot.

I'm sorry if I'm spamming your journals and you don't appreciate it. I need to put stuff somewhere :)

Ideas for finding a place to stay in Boston over the summer:
roommateaccess.com
3k friends - Jim, Jen, Phil, Joe, James - their friends?
asking Jason's parents to help
posting on the WIT message boards
fliering WIT, NEU, and MassArt (3 colleges close together)
staying in the common room of Jason's dorm
searching livejournal users ;)

What I need to find is someone who wants their apartment house-sat for 3 months during the summer. =P

Any other ideas, from people who move around more often than I do?

great news!!! and a weird event

In reference to the subject heading, I'll mention the weird event first, so it doesn't get lost in the great news.

I was leaving Pad Thai today, and Num followed me out the door and said, "Julia? Do you do anything on Sunday?" I said, "Well, I work Sunday night..." and he said, "No, Sunday during the day." I told him no, and he said, "Good," and then grinned and went back into the store. Hmm.

Now for the good news!!! Great news!!

As you all can tell, I started to get crackin' today about accomodations in Boston. Part of what I did was contact my internet Three Kingdoms friends who lived in Boston. One of them told me the name of another mudder who lived there that I knew (I didn't know she lived there though!). I sent a mass mudmail to them saying "I'm looking to move there, watch for open apartments for me, or if you have space let me know..." and a little while later this girl sends me a message asking if I wanted a temporary summer job while I lived in Boston.

To make a long story short, Adriana has cerebral palsey and has no use of her arms and legs. She has a roommate and a friend who comes over to help her out while her roommate is at work, but her friend is going to Spain for the summer. She will at least need someone to be with her for a few hours during the day and assist her with eating, using the bathroom, etc. Maybe even going to work with her. Her job (?) would pay me to be her assistant, and she would pay me some as well. We have agreed to work out a deal where instead of paying me, I get to live there and maybe not have to pay TOO much rent (full rent of her apartment is $2,000/mo, wow! I'm too used to Oklahoma $400/mo).

However - and this is the really cool part - if she somehow loses her roommate before summer, and I can commit to being a full-time assistant, she'll let me stay there for the whole summer for FREE - no rent or bills. Just pay for my own food and such. Isn't that a great deal? I need to find some way to run her roommate off. *grin*

She gave me her address, and I mapped it on Mapquest with driving directions to Jason's school, and they're a full 4 miles apart. How perfect is that?

She also said that she doesn't have her roommate, Jason is invited to stay over as much as she wants. And I am allowed to bring cats, but they cost $35/mo each - I might still just leave them in Norman for simplicity's sake.

Oh, and she has DSL.

How great can it get? And just earlier today Jason and I were worried about making this work out. Yay!!
