Well, since everyone's sharing their New Year's Eve stories, I'll give it a go. I headed to Penny's bar and got drunk and during the course of the night:
let someone do a shot out of my cleavage
told some old guy who kept hitting on me, "its ok, you're actually younger than my parents!"
talked with someone from high school I thought I'd never see again
and of course, ended the night after the bar had closed by crying in front of all the regulars (no I don't know why)
Go Kelly!
current mood:  embarrassed

Well, I might be semi-relocating again. Penny's moving into her own place, which is very nice and big and I want to live there. Which I might be a little bit in the short time I have left. Work continues on as usual. My feet hurt a lot. I don't sell as much as they tell me I should. I know sales goals are supposed to be motivating, but I find it really discouraging to find out that not one person feels like I had been helping over the course of an hour. And I know I was.
I also think I'm starting to age in reverse, as yesterday I was told by one person I looked 17-18, and another thought I looked way younger than 21. And this year is the first time I've starting getting that!
And I'm kind of sick-every time I cough my head hurts real bad.
current mood:  sick

4:19 pm - Merry Christmas!
|
Last time I used a dial up, a hurricane has destroyed New Orleans and I was in Memphis. Right now I'm at my gradparents' house in New Mexico, wanting to wish everybody a Merry Christmas. I have a seasonal retail job, and am living at my friend's house (though maybe not for long) I am going to be headed back to New Orleans in a short time, with a little bit of anticipation and a little bit of reluctance.
current mood:  calm

So I have again relocated back to Penny's house for the holidays. Quite the gypsy lifestyle I have these days. In a couple days I leave for my family's in New Mexico for 4 days, which will be nice as I haven't seen them in 2 years. I also got a seasonal job at the mall. I work at Rampage, which is this nice women's clothing stores. I have to look really put together and trendy everyday, and after these past 2 days of working my feet have hurt like burning cause of the nice shoes I need to be wearing. But its OK! I'm making money right?
current mood:  cheerful

So the journal describing the visit to the jail, an incredibly interesting and unique experience, gets no entries, while the one describing my inebriation (which, these days, tends to happen a lot) gets 2? fascinating...

Last night I got a private tour of the LA county jail-both men's and women's sides. We got walk around in where the prisoners live. We saw the general random population, the important people who have to be separated, the child molesters, the baby killers (both of these have to be separated from the general population so they're not killed), the violent sex offenders, and the violent, mentally unstable men that they wouldn't normally show on tours. A lot of them were banging on the door and yelling. Most of them had signs on the door that said things like "violent", "unpredictable", "spitter", and "suicidal". Very interesting, and I'm really glad I went.
In other news I fell asleep last night at 10, woke up at 3, and have been up since. I guess that's good because I have a final due tomorrow that I've been lagging on.
current mood: awake

Oh, Jeez, guys. Just so you all know, the entries I made last time were done in an extremely hungover state. This is one of the craziest weeks ever, I don't even know were to start. I'm just suprised that I'm somehow able to live like this. I will try to post pictures from the ball eventually.
I've been drunk every night this week- two nights in another state.
I might see Harry Potter 4 tomorrow!
current mood:  contemplative

Last night, I was skipping around Penny's bar after closing time, and I woke up this morning wearing everything I wore last night (including earrings). Classy!

Who just ate a Klondike bar for breakfast? That would be me!!
I also went for a walk this morning, so its not that terribly bad.
In other news, I got a C- on a paper, which I would be a lot more upset about if this quarter's grades transfered. Thing is, I don't think I've ever gotten below a B on a paper. I think the TA is just a really tough grader. So I'm pretty busy on this paper until tomorrow. But I feel like going out sometime soon.
current mood: mellow

So remember when I wrote a month ago about the longest week ever? Ha. In the past couple weeks I have almost been working full time, at a costume shop, during their busiest time of the year. The owner is a bitter alcoholic, and the other lady who works there year round is just a bitch. Fortunately I have so many friends who work there, and its a small business, so we get away with a lot we wouldn't otherwise. We dress up for work, and I've figured out I kind of have a thing for wigs (who knew?). Well anyways, so I've worked about 37 hours a week for the past couple weeks, in addition to doing what UCI considers a full course load. This past week was midterm time by the way. I also happened to get sick, so working for 6 hours, then going to school for another five, all while feeling sleep deprived and sick had become the norm. I'll be pretty curious to know what my grades will be like since I'm doing the school thing so half-assedly. But anyway, The costume shop job is over with, as Halloween is over too. I wish I could say I was raking in the dough working so much, but it's only about 7$ an hour. Thing is, so I have to get another job, and job hunting is one of my least favorite things ever.
Did I mention I'm supposed to be working on a take home midterm that's due tomorrow right now? It's just not happening.
I had a pretty good halloween season. I dressed up as this dark fairy, and i wore this short black wig. On saturday I went party hopping. The first one was kind of sad as I felt really old- it was kind of a high school party. The second one was better, but we were the first ones there and had to start the party ourselves. The third one was at a really good friend's house in Laguna Beach (that's right, like the MTV show). It was really crowded, but really fun.
On Halloween itself, the night started off handing out candy (I'm still living at Penny's house, by the way). The evening soon went in very interesting ways. To summarize: Penny's house--->walk to a friend's house for a party, no one there---->walk to bar Penny works at (Big helyn's)---->picked up by a friend, go to original party---->do downtown---->take a shot at every bar--->meet up with friends----->go back to Big Helyn's----->sleep at friends' house-----walk of shame in costume at 12:03 next day. It was a random, but really fun time.
Highlights: Handing out candy to little kids
Seeing a guy dressed as a comic book character- I was the only one to recognize him
Pancakes in the morning!
lowlights: like, 12 tequilas shots ----> ridiculously hung over
the last boy I kissed not recognizing me (I was dressed up and wearing a wig)
not kissing anyone (we bought breath mints and chapstick, too)
So here I am, at like 1 in the morning working on my midterm. More later.

So I'm at someone else's house posting this. I'm not really going to be at home anymore- I'm pretty much living the gypsy lifestyle, living out of my car. It's pretty crazy because between school and work I don't have a lot of free time. I just couldn't be at home anymore. The last couple weeks have kind of been a game to make it so I just wasn't home home while Milda was there. It work pretty well, until she decided to go off at me the night before I left for Las Vegas. She did it again on Friday night, before I was going out. So the next day when I was home with my dad, I told him that I couldn't live how I was, always nervous that Milda was about to start yelling at me. He had told me to just brush it off, but it gets really hard when someone who has no authority over you starts trying to tell you what to do. So anyways he's like, so you've talked to Penny about staying at her house, and I said yes. So he's like, I want you to come home some nights, and you can always be here during the day. Neither of us want Milda to get a victory out of this. So here I am, doing something I would never have thought I would be. I don't want anyone to be worried about me, because I'm fine. But this is probably going to be the strangest half year of my life.

So things at the old Payne household are going really badly. As in, I just don't go home. If Milda says one more thing to me, I'm leaving
actually scratch that-I just talked with my dad
I am definitely leaving. He thinks its the right thing to do too
by the way, he wants to divorce her, but he's too nice to do it before she gets her green card

That longest week ever post? I think that's going to be my life from now on. Minus the Las Vegas, unfortunately. So my new email address is kpayne@uci.edu. I'll update more later (hopefully).
