A bit of a story behind it to!

This Friday I decided to take Alexandra to an Open Preschool we hadn't been to so much but that she loved just to make sure she had some activity to go to. It's good for her and makes sure she sleeps good at night. A goal that, considering the troubles we have at bedtime here...

Anyway!
Off we went, taking two buses, and when we arrived we found out it was closed on Fridays... CRAP! What to do? Back on the bus we went to go downtown, and then we went to the optician to get my glasses fixed and on whim went to the Big Citylibrary.

Alexandra loves it there to, and they have a singalong for kids all ages every Friday, so why the hell not?

I was sitting there and the librarian responsible for the kid-section came over to me and wanted to talk with me after the singalong, since she said she might have good news for me. So sure, after the singalong (which Alexandra loved! she loves being at libraries), I went to find her again.

And sure enough. She told me that the one of the biggest schools in town lacked a school-librarian. And had lacked for three years (!). Apparently their hired one was long-term sicklisted, and they never knew if she could work, when she'd come back and... yeah. And they had this extra hand that helps anywhere at the school where it's needed that just makes sure the kids get to enter the library and borrow a book.

Let's just say a librarian does a shitload more than that.

Anyway, I called the school talked to the woman responsible (apparently) and she asked me right away if I could get there right away? At that point I was home alone with Alexandra who was getting grumpy for food. I had to decline and say that my hubby was getting home any min, could I come then? Which I could (thank heavens!), so as soon as peting73 came home, I ran out the door and went to the school for an impromptu interview.

Which was very impromptu. o.O I got to talk to responsible lady and one of the three headmasters (!). Both were very nice. They asked me a bit of leading questions about what I'd like tod do IF I got to run the library and how to get kids to read more and how to incorporate the internet in classes... etc, etc, etc...

They also gave me a bit of a tour of the school... And then when I was alone with the responsible lady, she suddenly said, well... You need to be here for a meeting at 3pm on Monday, so if you could work until 3:30pm that would be great.

.....

Wait, what? Apparently they gave me the job on the spot. o.O I don't know what I said or what I did, but they must have liked it. So now I'm hired to work 4 hours a day, until the last of March. There MIGHT be an extension on that, but they can only extend it for one monthy at a time, what with the troublesome librarian they used to have.

So tomorrow I'll be presenting myself as the new librarian at that school. Where they have 700 kids or so.

Holy fuck. o.O

I don't know if I should be happy or terrified.

Life is going to be interesting from now on for sure!

I know I haven't been around in a while, and I do apologize for that. Or maybe I shouldn't. If you've stuck around, I suppose that is a good thing. Am a bit down tonight, but I'll try to make a sorta update anyway.

So much has happened since last, I think I'll make it into a bullet-list instead, because otherwise this post will be a fucking novel, and I wouldn't wanna do that to my dear friends on my f-list.

• LARP is still good and a lot of fun. I was a bit behind on things like plots and stuff, but apparently my partner in crime there, whose character I play a servant to, was a bit behind on things as well, so together we got caught up and now we are ready to make mischief again. Fun, fun!



• My brother, who as I've mentioned before, had a divorce, is doing SOOOO much better! He misses his kids terribly those weeks they are with their mother, but drowns himself in work then, so he can spend more time with his kids when they are with him. He really is doing his best, and is a great father, I swear! And a hardworking farmhand to, definitly.



• Been visiting my brother, since he had his birthday not to long ago, and damn... That was A LOT of fun! Now when he is doing a lot better after said divorce, he is pretty much back to what he was like when we grew up. At least the bickering between us, according to our mother. X-D Hilarious!



• My mom is doing good to, she is as crazy as ever. You heard about the operetta The Merry Widow? Dude, she got that one beat. *LOL* She is out dancing and hanging with her sister and her friends, and she is knitting like crazy for her three grandkids and... How the hell she has time to work, I have no idea. But she is happy, healthy and... slightly nuts, so who am I to complain? :-) Oh, and she's 60 years old. If it hadn't been for her white hair, you wouldn't have been able to tell.



• On that note, I found one white hair in my forehead. Only one. I am apparently getting old. I give it 20 more years, tops, and I'll have as paper white hair as my mom.



• Fandom wise I have slacked off a bit with going through the members list of tokiohotelslash. Which I feel bad about. I have kept up posting on gs_daily pretty well, which I feel good about. And I think the pimp-posts I do at tokiohotelslash are appreciated. I haven't gotten much feedback, but I do hope so. There has been a bit more posts in that community since I took over and started them pimp-posts, so I see that as a positive thing. When I have the energy and talked to mods of other big communities, I have another plan for said community I want to kick off... Will have to finish going through all them members first though. :-P



• I've started up another RP with my darling friend from New Zealand. Damn that woman and her brain. Who knew a crossover between Pirates of the Caribbean and Supernatural would work out so fine? And that Dean Winchester and Captain Will Turner of the Flying Dutchman would make such a great, if doomed, pairing? :-) The RP I do with snowstormskies is still going very strong as well. Torg-strong. *LOL* I love it to bits, and she being a fic-writer from start, she sure keeps me on my toes, taking a whole other take on this RP-thing! I have a ton of fun with it. :-D Much love on you two girls for giving me such a gift as being able to play with you. Honored. Really. :-)



• Alexandra is doing really good. Goes to the daycare center Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday ever week. 8am to 1pm. Gives me some time to myself looking for work and being a bit housewifey. If I get hired by the hour though, the hours she's there changes or days changes if needed. The staff is really great there, even if I it does take a bit to walk there, something I am not to fond off.



• Talking off... I did work this week. Wednesday and Thursday. For the first time since I had Alexandra. At a school-library at a school with a lot of troubled kids. Helped a bunch of kids. Had to throw out a bunch of loud rude kids. Got questions about my piercings and tattoos. Got called a racist. I felt right at home. :-) I really hope I get to work there again or at another school-library. I love working with kids, any age. Seriously. So awesome!



• When not working I am trying to make sense of the websites for the unemployment fund AND the employment office, since I have to report on to both continuously . Their rules have changed since I was unemployed last. Both for the better and for the worse... I think I have figured it out now though. :-) If I do one thing wrong, I'll be cut off from my unemployment benefits. Fair, but damn... that is a lot of stuff to keep in mind to make sure of that. o.O *has a list*



• My best friend, spicehobbit and I are still working our way through Supernatural. We have the last two episodes of season 5 to watch before we can start up on season 6. Our current amusement is to guess how much more angsty it can get... The show still keep surprising us with upping the angst even more. *LOL* We truly enjoy it though, I gotta say. A show that I thought was worse than it was. Keeps proving me wrong. Well done, Supernatural!



• I also preordered Sons of Anarchy Season 5 and since it arrived I keep working my way through that one again. I did watch it without subtext at one point, but there's one character with a pretty thick accent... *cough*Chibs*cough* ... that I just can't follow or understand without subtext, so now I actually understand the plot of the season much MUCH better! Can't wait to see season 6, seriously... That show keeps throwing me curve balls...

And so it ended up a novel anyway. Points to you if you managed to read through all that. Now I am going to bed since we'll be home both me and Alexandra tomorrow. She has a bit of a cold right now, so nothing to exiting for us.

Laters!

I swear!

I've just been busy, I'd say.

Kid / Alexandra / mini_viking (I've gotten back to update her LJ, btw!)

Especially these last two weeks. Because Alexandra has started daycare at one of the day care centers around here. Oh yes. Even if I am partly unemployed and just hired by the hour, she is still allowed 15 hours each week according to Swedish rules.

But she had to get used to the place and the teachers working there and all them other kids. But since I've been smart enough to always bring her with me everywhere and going to sing-a-longs and baby swimming class and Open Preschool and all that... Alexandra is used to people and other kids. She likes to hang around with others. She is a social kid already. So I wasn't that worried.

First days we were just there a little, progressively longer days. I was with her the whole time! Although, she didn't care much about mom, crawling off to play with all them kids. The other kids are from age 1 - 5 or 6. (You start school at age 6 here in Sweden.) So it can get a bit loud sometimes. Alexandra don't care though, she was happy crawling around. And all the other kids fussed over her, since she is the smallest one in the group. It was really cute! :-)

Second week, I started leaving her alone there, a little at a time. First time just 30 mins, and then longer and longer... Friday she was there from 8:30am until 1pm.

And she has done GREAT the whole time! The teachers that work with the kids in that group keeps telling me what a cute, brave, independent, secure in herself kid she is. I really don't know what to answer to that. Because... somehow I must have done something right along the way.

Although, I have no idea what. o.O

The day care center is AWESOME though! :-D And the teachers/staff that works there are brilliant. It wasn't our first choice, so it's a bit to walk there. Takes me 20-25 mins to get there in the morning. NOT fun. :-/ Our first choice is like... 5 mins walk from here. A bit of a difference. We are still in line for that one though, and hopefully there'll be room for Alexandra there within 6months.

So that's been keeping me VERY busy.

Alexandra will be there 8am - 1pm Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday every week from now on.

What will I do in the meantime? LOOK FOR A JOB!!! GAWD! I need to get out of here and hang out with other adults.

Family

Yesterday we visited my little brother who had his 32nd birthday. I've been, admittedly, very worried about him what with the divorce and his ex-wife being so... different than who she used to be it is crazy. And of course worried about my niece and nephew, Alexandra's cousins. Them kids live one week with my brother and one week with his ex-wife. So far it seems to be going really well since they live close to each other thanx to work and such...

Apparently she got another guy already though. My brother had his suspicions, but she wouldn't come clean for quite a while, but now she has. I thought that would make my brother even more upset and such... But instead he is relieved. Because now there's nothing hidden between them anymore, and he can move on. So he is way happier again, and in turn that makes the kids feel better to! Apparently they are more happier when they stay with my brother than with their mom. It's a bit crazy with his ex-wife, really...

They've been together since they both were 16. And I guess you change a lot during 16 more years...

Anyway. I am DAMN proud of how far my brother has gotten after all this. Already, I might add! It hasn't been that long since they filed for divorce. But on the other hand, the marriage hasn't been that good for long, so... *shrug*

Had a brilliant time with him and mom and my relatives yesterday though! Alexandra was exhausted when we left and slept in the car on our way home. I think she had fun to playing with cousins, grandma and such!

Fandom

I inherited a community, tokiohotelslash! YAY! With over 900 members! YAY! Or... wait, what?!? Because there's some seriously suspicious journals I've seen when I've checked the members list randomly... (Not updated since 2007? Not updated AT ALL? No birthdate? No info what so ever? Yes. Suspicious...)

Also, the tags is a bit of a mess. I am sure there was a plan there at some point, but it has since been lost when the community has kept changing hands.

And I want to do something with the place. Currently I do pimp-posts, once a week. Pimping fic with a specific pairing. I am also considering running some sort of fic-challenge, but how to make it different? The FQF's that are run by the BRILLIANT mods at th_fanfic twice a year is all the rage, not to mention Secret Santas, so I am not sure if I should...? And if I do... how to make them different? Drabbles? *shrug*

One thing at a time, I suppose. I'll have tackle the tags and members problem first.

I will admit it is a bit exciting though! And I hope I'll do a good job with it. :-D

Still keeping up my Project of Doom, as I lovingly have named it as well. :-) I keep checking TokihotelFiction.Com every day (or every other day) to see what fic has been updated, and what pairing... collecting data to see what pairing is the most popular and HOW much popular it is compared to others. It's very interesting! I've kept it up for this entire year, and it'll be fun to see the final results in December!

I feel quite proud over the fact I've managed to keep it up for 9 months! :-D I wasn't sure I'd be able to when I started, to be honest. Now I think I'll make it to the end of the year! *determined*


Anyway, that's me right now. :-) All over the place, like always. *grins* :-D I hope everyone is doing good though, or as good as can be!

This week... THIS WEEK people! MY GAWD! *head-desk*

Let me break it down to you...

• Sunday evening (when I wrote that drabble-prompt-call, whatever you wanna call it) I had nearly no work planned for this week at all, only a few hours Thursday. But thing is, being hired by the hour... You never really now...



• Monday morning. I get up at around 7:30am. Around 7:45am, they call from the small school-library where I've worked plenty of times, in slight panic. All the librarians are sick. Can I come work from 8:45am to 12:15pm? That is, in an hour. PANIC! Shower, breakfast and getting a ride from peting73 and I was there.



• While working, I called and scheduled time with my hairdresser and called booked a meeting with the boss of the big main library in town. Working went well, and I went home and started to do a big cleaning of the apartment while also writing prompts...



• Tuesday I go down town to the main library to meet their boss. While waiting my phone calls. And another library in the neighbouring city/community called. Could I come work Friday morning at the school library there between 8am to 12:15pm? Now this is a library I have NEVER been to. I hardly know my way to said city/community. I have no key there. And I have never been there. But hell, I never say no to a challenge, so I said yes. Might also add that on Friday I have planned to meet up with chigrima in the afternoon in Gothenburg. It would be stressful, but I figured I would be able to make it.



• Then I had the meeting with the boss of the main library which went REALLY FUCKING WELL, THANK YOU!!!! :-D WOOT! She is quite new on the post and was really nice and interesting to talk to. We discussed fantasy books, scifi books and their place in a library... Not to mention comics and graphic novels in a library (the subject off my masters thesis, thank you very much...). They are planning to expand their collections in all those genres. Colour me happy! :-D And she told me that I was free to come with suggestions off books and graphic novels! WOOT! :-D



• Done there, I left and went home. On my way home I was called again. This time from the small school-library AGAIN! They asked me to work Wednesday from 8:45am-12:15pm. Which would collide with my scheduled time with my hairdresser, but work comes first so I said yes.



• Once home I called and re-scheduled my meeting with the hairdresser. Fell asleep on the couch. Got to cleaning late. Wasn't done until 8:30pm. *face-palm* My own fault that.



• Today, Wednesday, I worked on the little school-library between 8:45am and 12:15pm as agreed. Worked fine.



• Then I went home, had some lunch and started the first two loads of laundry and then went down to my appointment at the hairdresser. Sat down and waited a bit. Until she asked me what I was doing there. Apparently I had misheard. The appointment was not for today, but for tomorrow. During which time I am working. *face-palm* After some talking and here and there we managed to move it ahead an hour, so I can cut my hair tomorrow anyway.



• Then I went home, changed loads of laundry. While in the laundry room my phone called. From the main library. They asked me if I could work some evenings next week, but since I didn't have my calender with me, he emailed me the hours so I could see if I was scheduled for another library or not.



• Finished cleaning the last in the apartment (it fucking shines now...). While doing THAT, they called from the library in the neighbouring city/community discussing back and forth how to work Friday out when I was to work at that school-library, and coming to the conclusion that it wouldn't work at all since I've never been there and didn't have a key or anything... So that was not to be. A HUGE weight lifted off my shoulders, thank you. :-P I hope I can work there at another time though.



• Once done cleaning, I checked my email, an yes. I can work those hours at the main city library. 3pm-8pm Monday and Tuesday and then 4pm-8pm on Friday. Works fine. :-)

To say my mind has been ALL OVER these last days would be an understatement, geezes christ! o.O I am very happy that I got along so well with the boss of the main city library though! I hope that will be useful in the future. :-) But I can not WAIT for the weekend to arrive now... :-P

Plan for the rest of the week and the weekend is:

• Thursday, tomorrow, work between 9am to 2:30pm. And get a haircut at 3pm.



• Friday, sleep in. And then go to Gothenburg whenever I feel like it. Meet up with chigrima in the afternoon/evening. spicehobbit might join in.



• Saturday, help peting73 to prepare for his little beer and whisky feast here in our apartment that he'll have together with his workmates. Spend the evening with spicehobbit on a ladydate at her apartment where we'll cook dinner together and then get drunk and then go out dancing making fools of ourselves. :-D



• Spend the night in spicehobbits sofa bed.



• Sunday: MY GAWD! RELAX! SLEEP IN! NOT DO A FUCKING THING!

So, Thursday mom and my aunt was here. :-) It was A LOT of fun! They are both old fans of the band Smokie, so when they heard that they were giving a free concert here in the city, plans were quickly made for both of them to get here and watch Smokie play. :-)

First they went shopping a bit in the city. Mom has lost so much weight now, she had to buy some new clothes so she'd have something that doesn't fall off of her. X-D Amazing. She looks fantastic! Of course, she still loses weight rapidly, but the woman needs clothes that doesn't fall off, right? ;-) And they had fun shopping together them sisters, so I'd say it was all good. Then they came here and peting73 had cooked a delicious dinner: chicken breast wrapped in bacon strips, fried and then boiled in a gravy made of cream and cream cheese seasoned with garlic and various herbs... then served with vegetables, both cooked and fresh. HOLY SHIT, it was delicious!

After that we took the bus downtown. Which was hilarious in itself. Neither my mom or aunt go by bus often. My mom very rarely and my aunt not at all. So they were very nervous about it. *lol* But it turned out fine, and we went downtown, took a drink with peting73s mom and then we went to see to get good standing places to see the concert.

Now, Smokie ain't my kind of music, but I must admit. Them old men knew how to entertain their audience. :-) They rocked! Old classic rock. It was really cool. But the best thing was to watch mom and my aunt singing along and acting like fangirls, just like I did when I watched Tokio Hotel live. *lol* It was awesome! (And if someone could tell me what the hell it is with me and drummers, because seriously... Smokies drummer might be old, but hell... He was awesome, and I would do him in a heart-beat! Even if I'd have to fight my aunt to get to him...)

Yesterday though, we didn't do much at all. Just vegged around the apartment playing World of Warcraft and being nerdy as hell. Well, I did go out and visited some libraries, but alas none of the regulars were there so I couldn't talk anyone into giving me any work. :-P Better luck next week!

Today has been spent much the same. Being nerdy together. :-) We are good at that peting73 and I.

I am having surprisingly fun on the new World of Warcraft server I play on, Moonglade EU. I am playing a bloodelf I named Thylarian, a paladin. He is fighting his addiction to magic, going out to travel to learn new things... discovers he is good at healing people and in doing so he uses his magic which helps him fight his addiction... He meets the tall voodoo using trolls... and crushes on them male trolls something fierce! And is now working for the Horde as a pocket healer (preferring to heal trolls...). X-D So if anyone plays on Moonglade EU, say HI to the bloodelf Thylarian!

And now for something totally different... Some memes!

s national book week. The rules are: grab the book closest to you. Go to page 56. Copy the 5th sentence. Don't mention the book.

Inte förränn man fick stora problem med kokainmissbrunk i armén under första världskriget förbjöds 1916 all hantering av kokain utom den som bedrevs av legitimerade apotekare, läkare och tandläkare.

Translation: Not until there was huge problems with cocaine abuse in the army during the first world war, all dealings with cocaine was forbidden in 1916 except if it was made by legitimized pharmacists, doctors or dentists.

And the next...

( Me sorted with the Sorting hat... See what Hogwarts house I got into! )

No Sketchavember photos today. I honestly don't know what to take photos of anymore. Any tips? :-P And I still need a beta for that lil drabble. *sigh*

Been a really good day at the library today! Have worked quite a bit this week, feels great. :-) AND! The job I talked about yesterday. Yeah. It seems like it is mine. So, for two months I do have a job. :-D All of January and all of February. FUCK YEAH! That makes me partly responsible for the little library with all them mini gangstas... Ehm... Wait, what did I just throw myself headfirst into? Hmm... Interesting times starting next year, for sure!

Fandomvice I have found two nice articles about that Buffy-movie. I still don't get it why the fandom is so negative about it? Sure, sure. It won't be the same as the TV-show. I, for one, don't expect it to be. I hope it will be a whole new take on the Buffy-story. And I look forward to that. *shrug* I just don't get the negativity, I suppose. Either that or I am not a real fan.... *rolls eyes*
Anyway, the awesome articles are here:
Joss Whedon written out of Buffy film
Buffy the Vampire Slayer without Joss Whedon? Thats been going on for years
Oh, Buffy! I don't know whether to weep or cheer

Talking about vampires, btw. THIS T-shirt made me LOL so hard! X-D

Changing subject completely, but damn... I have been fangirling Slash like there is no tomorrow lately. X-D I don't know why. But watching interviews with the man, he seems so cool, laidback and relaxed (and sober, these days... *laugh*). The album he released working with a ton of different artists is really, really good I must say. :-D
Here he talks about work on the album (and how Fergie from Black Eyed Peas and his wife ganged up on him...)
Part 1, Part 2

The song he did with Fergie from Black Eyed Peas is REALLY cool! And what a video! :-D I'll just leave it here and sneak off. ;-)

( Beautiful Dangerous by Slash featuring Fergie )

A small update on my latest post. This friday I went to talk to another guy at the employment office, and apparently a lot of people are not up to date with there rules. Either that, or he was lying to me. :-P Since you don't have to go to a trainee job to get more support. It is enough that you actually look activly for work. That I have been doing constantly since I got sacked, you know... So that is good news, I suppose. I'll go on an information meeting about this shit some more, and then make my decision. As he said, if you say yes, and then feel your forced into something you don't like, you can always decline. Very true that, so yeah. I'll take my chances with there rules and see where it is going. As long as nothing effects the hours I do work or my ability to accept more hours, I have no problem. To be conintued, in other words.

I am a bit behind on my Sketchavember, but that will have to wait a bit. I am slightly hungover today, and one of my eyes are acting up a bit, so no photos for today.

Was at a dinner/drinking party at one of peting73s workmates last night. It was awesomely fun, and they are both really nice people. As is most of peting73s workmates, actually. Lots of drinking was done and lots of yummy food was eaten. It was great. And yes, I got drunk, quite a bit. :-P But not to much so. I left before peting73 at 2:30am. Apparenlty he didn't leave until around 4am. X-D He also drank some more then me, so yeah... He is slightly hungover today. I'll just leave him in the sofa. ;-) He don't even wanna play WoW... He is pretty hungover then. ;-) *pats him carefully*

But it is a very special day today still... Because today spicehobbit has her birthday! WOHOO!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SIS!

She is seriously my best friend in the world! I wouldn't know what to do without her. No words, people. No words for how awesome she is. :-D She is currently on a trip to our capital Stockholm to watch a play in a theater, and I do hope she has a brilliant time. :-) She loves theatrical plays and musicals, so I am sure she does have a great time. As I am sure I'll get a full report when she gets home. *grin* I have a brilliant gift waiting for her, and I think I'll try to get her to watch The Deathly Hollows Part I with me next week. We have seen all the others together, so I think that would be a suitable way to celebrate, yeah? :-D

Awesome plans for next week, in other words!

Been off looking for work today to. Didn't go... quite as well as it has done these other days, I am afraid. But I think that has to do with the guy being the boss of the library I was at the today... wasn't a librarian himself... o.O Hmm... Anyway, he was nice and all and put all my contact information down, that I know the computer-system they use (I do, very well) and have a masters in library and information science. So all well so far. But I didn't get the same good feeling as I have gotten at the other three libraries where I am currently trying to worm myself in, you know? And I don't think he meant anything by it, really. When I was hospitalized they had apparently needed me and called, but hey... I was kinda sick then, so couldn't work. :-P Anyway. We'll see if anything comes off it. :-) I am staying positive.

I also called the hospital and got a new appointment with the gynecologist. Apparently not all people who miss there appointment call back. Stupid, I say. So the nurse I talked to wasn't the least bit upset, but was quite nice to talk to actually. :-)

And now for something complitly different. ;-) croaky shared this on her Twitter some time ago, and I just thought it was awesome. James Marsters and Nicholas Brendon just rocks! They must really love there fans! X-D I would be thrilled to have a photo like this with any of them! So much made of win! Check it out!
Once again, 'Buffy' does it better... - Cast of 'Buffy' gets into the spirit of Dragon Con...

Also, the It Gets Better project is still going strong. Now the elderly LGBT people wants a word to. :-) And do they ever! Such awesome, awesome voices! I can't help but smile when I hear them.
( Wisdom from our gay elders... )

But then I found this. And I actually agree with this guy. There is one big problem with the It Gets Better Project... All the vids posted more or less say, just live through the bullies since you can't do anything about them, it will get better when you get away from them. They do not tell the teens to stand up and speak up for themselves. I don't know... I was bullied like hell in school, not physical, but mentally. You know what it did to me, not standing up to myself? Because I didn't. And I lost all my self confidence. It took my YEARS to get it back, and I still lose it now and then (like yesterday...). So yeah. Even though it is an awesome thing to encourage all them gay teens, please tell them it is OK to stand up for themselves to. They need to too keep there self confidence.
( Wake up call: It (doesn't) get better )

Right on that sober note, I'll end it for today. :-) Take care all, and encourage someone to stand up for themselves!

And this day started so nicely to... Well, that soon passed. I got a text from the employment office yesterday that I had an appointment today, but it said no time or anything. Weird, but I figured I'd go down anyway. Just when I was about to, my contact there called saying we had decided that I should report in this week. Well, darn. I had missed making a note of that. Anyway, we talked and yeah... I have nearly no days left to get money for through the unemployment fund. Meaning, I have to live on whatever I can make from those few hours I work at the libraries around here, with no hope of any other financial help at all. Sure, I could just kick the bucket and give up my dream of actually having a position as a librarian. My fucking profession, you know... And just take a shitty job again... Because that went sooo well the last time... Or not. Anyway, I could get 8 more days from the unemployment fund if I turned down work... Yeah. You read that right. Bureaucracy rules when your unemployed are so much fun. I had to call back and forth between my contact (who is quite an awesome man, but have to follow the rules) and the unemployment fund all morning.

Yeah. That just stressed me up a whole lot and put a huge damper on my mood. :-/ It feels like... Just when things are starting to go my way, something is there to kick me down, reminding me that your really not worth shit. Thank gawd for peting73 or I would have just crawled into a corner and cried. He calmed me down though. Saying, at least you'll have a small income, and we'll be fine living on his. I seriously wouldn't know what to do without him. It'll be tough times, for sure. No trips to see friends in other cities (sorry, girls!), or anything extravagant (apart from what we've already planned and payed for), but yeah... We'll make it work. *sigh*

Day 20- Favorite of Bill’s hairstyles

Well, he was cute as a lil kid, what with trying to look tough with eyeliner and hair standing all over the place... The emo-fringe wasn't bad either from what I have seen... He looked like a lil hedgehog with a bad hair-day. The lionsmane, had no problem with that one either. It was cool. The dreads, odd, but cool. Although he looked a bit to much like a girl with those, according to me. Still cool though. The mohawk, made me go WTH! when I first saw it, but it grew on me. The Elvis-do he has now is also one of those WTH! reactions, but you know what? I actually like that one to. But... in the end, I have to say...

The Elvis-do. You know why? Because he actually looks like a young man in that... Like his age. Sure, with makeup and the whole thing, but still. :-) So yeah. The Elvis-do it is. ;-)

I have done sorta good today to. Been at three more libraries talking about job. At one of them it sounded sorta positive, so it was a good day as such. And... thats pretty much all I have been doing today. I don't know why, but when I came home I collapsed on the sofa for two hours... WTH? o.O Weird.

Anyway, been doing RPGs on Livejournal all afternoon evening. Can't be to late tonight though, since I'll actually be working tomorrow. Only two hours, but still. At least it is something, yeah? :-)

I have such an exciting life... Not. :-P

Day 10- Favorite picture of Georg

Oh wohoo... The rocker boy and the oldest... And one of my favorites. :-) I actually have two. None of them new, but they are just damn awesome. And he is sporting a classical rocker-pose in both. X-D The older he gets, the more muscles he gets to. I approve. :-) Also, I must know what conditioner the man uses! I mean, seriously!
