holly_evolvingI've been spending a lot of time with Craig (not to be confused with Krag, i.e. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
chainsawbutcher). He is very cool. I am very happy.
Life's been work, home to do housework, D&D, Craig's house for the past few weeks, with interruptions. Such as visiting with Zach (not Zachariah), visiting the lair ofdragonchylde and loki2814, and going camping with either Markland or the SCA.
My brother-in-law's little brother, Joey, is getting married to his longterm girlfriend, Kim, this Saturday. I am more excited than I can say. But I have NO IDEA what to get them!
I found out what Joey's been doing for a living since Y107 became a salsa station. He's a programmer for Sirius Radio! He does all their bluegrass and some of their 80's metal, and occasionally gets on the air as Joe Black. I will need to get Sirius Radio when I have the cash freed up.
The job. Is ok for now, but I don't think I'll be there longer than I need to be. Sure, it's good pay and benefits and I need those. Or I wouldn't bother at all. It's still in an office (yuck). And I have to talk about how great U.S. Box's products are, when honestly I don't give the least bit of a shit about them. Craig pointed me to a well-established leatherworker I know, plus I can smile pretty and askwolf_nd_shadows for crafting advice. It would be cool to be a professional leatherworker. I'd never have soft hands again. Oh wait, I don't care. I prefer workers' hands. They're a sign that the people who have them EARN their living.
I know, I know, plenty of people work hard for their money without being craftspeople. I was just raised to believe blue collar workers were superior, and it's a hard mentality to shake off. And one I usually don't want to. Still, doctors are pretty necessary people and they work damn hard. Same goes for teachers.
Mom's officially insane. Her moods are literally binary by the day. She likes me one day, then dislikes me the next. This is a pattern repeated as soon as it finishes. She's crazy.
Dad's moving to Vernon, into Uncle Doug's old house. I get to have a room there. I get to have a room in my father's house. That hasn't happened since I was 12! I'm so.... completely unsure of how I feel about that. On the one hand, space of my own, away from my mom and with my dad. On the other, where the fuck was he for 6 years, and why does he think he was entitled to be back for the last 6?
I don't know. They're nuts, and I'm nuts because they're nuts.
