I have a new screen name on AIM and a new email address. It only makes sense to have my LJ match. Besides.... this journal has alot of things I'd rather forget on it. That, and I've started getting emails about some of the entries that I haven't marked "friends only" because I forgot to click. Part of me says, "Okay, so mark everything friend only." But I think that's pretty stupid. If people are going to email me and berate me for entries made into a journal, they need to get a life.  And in the meantime, I'm going on with mine.

I won't officially start using the new name until the first of the year. Until then, you can still email me at yumijimeru@gmail.com or contact me on AIM, screen name yumijimeru. If I know and like you ;) I'll give you the new name. Mina and Holly might already have an idea what it is, but shhh.

My mother is trying to send my father to jail because of back child support. 

I'm going to see Dir en Grey again!!!!

I figured out my finances, and I have just enough to go, AND my mom is giving me my birthday money early so I can buy the CD so I can meet the band again! *excitement galore*

It's a good thing she's giving me the money, too. I was going to pay Nate back for the concert money I already owe him, but I'm only going to be able to pay him half as it is.

The ticket was $27.50, but by the time all the service fees, building fees, and taxes got added in, my ticket was almost $45. So, I have less money than I thought, but I'm still going!!! *cheer for me*

I'd like to say I've been so busy that I couldn't update. But that's not true. I've just been damn lazy.

I suppose part of it was busy-ness, what with the holidays and all. The rest of it was just me refusing to use my dial-up connection. God, I can't wait until I get a better connection speed.

Speaking of, I've finally "figured" out that I have to move out. I've always wanted to, and I need to or I'll kill someone. But I HAVE to because if I don't, Mandy will never leave. Apparently, her boyfriend has decided that they will not move in together for another year. Which means, she'll be living here for another year.

Mandy doesn't think this is a problem, because I'm still here. As stupid as that sounds, it kind of makes sense. Why SHOULD she leave if I'm allowed to live here still? I haven't paid room and board for a while. I mean, I have bought groceries, but to Mandy, that's not enough. She'll live here forever, or until her boyfriend decides that she's worth more than a booty-call, if I don't force her out.

*chuckles* I'm more than happy to force her out. ;) Just a little scared of having to get something of my own. Which means I REALLY have to get my resumé out there.

I wish something fun was going on in my life, but... *le sigh* Not so.

Tonight is going to suck.

It doesn't really seem busy, but the air is massively dry. It hurts to breathe. *pout*

lol That seems like such a stupid thing to put in a journal entry. And I suppose it is. ;)

I'm so damned tired, too. I didn't drop Nana off until about noon. By the time I got home and fed the rabbit (because unless I do, the poor thing goes hungry), I was STARVING. So, I ate a ramen and tried to sleep. This was at about 2 this afternoon.

My mom got home at 4:30, and told me I needed to get out of bed because I shouldn't sleep all day. I "had to go to work soon". Okay, I've been working here for almost 5 years total. And I have worked midnights before. Every SINGLE time I have to work, she asks me what time I have to go in, or tells me 6 hours before the shift that I should start getting ready. "I don't know when you work!" she says.

It's not a HUGE deal, but it's so damn frustrating to say it everytime!!! Besides, I'd only had about two hours sleep all day when she woke me up. So I told her, "I get ready at 9, leave here at 9:30, and work at ten. I have plenty of time, and I've only had two hours sleep. I didn't drop Nana off until noon."

"So, you've really had 4 hours sleep."

Okay, since when is four hours sleep a HUGE amount of time (unless it's really just a nap or something)? I'd been up since 10:30 AM the day before! *grumbles*

I think I'm complaining because I'm tired. *g* I should get to work. I'll update more if I can. Hopefully, if I do, it'll be more pleasant things. lol

Riiiiiiight.

Tonight... er today. Whatever... is the first day of my week o' midnights.

Why is it that people ask me to do things in the morning on days I work midnights, and not any other mornings?

I get out of here at 6:30 AM (I'm at work now), and I have to take my Nana to a doctor's appointment at 10:30. I don't think I'm going to try sleeping.

And later this week, I have to work Barnes & Noble at 11 AM after getting off at 6:30 too. (Okay, that one is my own fault 'coz I told them they could.)

It's not that I mind having lots to do... plus I'll be making a lot of cash this week, it's just... When I don't have to work all week, and I'm bored out of my mind, there is never ANYTHING going on. Ever. Not even my Nana needing me to take her to the grocery store or something stupid.

*g* I'm not complaining really. Just questioning because it's odd, and I'm tired to the point of being slap-happy. I need a smoke break.

( This is fuckin' freaky... )

I had the same result as she did on her second one... and I didn't really like that test for some reason. It made me feel like I thought I was Buddha or that I was Satan incarnate. Very depressing...

Now I'm curious too...

( Lot o' Quizzles... )

I'm so bored that I've decided to make dinner. And I mean, actually MAKE dinner. I've decided on broccoli and cheese soup. I finally found my recipe, and it sounds soooo good: broccoli, cauliflower, and cheese soup.

Although finding it was a little difficult... ( Somehow this made me laugh hysterically for a while! )

I'm off to go shopping for my ingredients!!! Wish me luck!
