Sorry For Being Gone!

Hello, dears!
     Should you be wondering why I vanished for a very, very extended period of time, my computer's charging port crapped out. Ordered a new DC/IN port, and a new power cord (since it was probably the gradual cause of the damage done to my port). Then came the eight thousand steps it takes to crack open a mac, disconnecting the old DC/IN from the motherboard, installing the new one, and putting everything back together. I kind of feel like a champ, actually.

     So, updates. Diamond has been through some crazy workplace shenanigans, and after some trying times, has landed at my Travelodge. She works the same shift I do, on my weekends, and some housekeeping shifts. Which means that we end up on opposite schedules, which is lame. But hey, thus is the life of a financially independent young adult.

     Also, Diamond and I will be moving to Denver in the upcoming year. I was initially hesitant, but the more I think about it, the more I want to go. There's more things to do and see, and more people there. Colorado Springs isn't much of a college town, and I think it shows. A lot of people are either in High School, or in the void left afterwards. I want to meet people who have interesting things to talk about, and don't sit in a basement smoking pot all day (I'm looking at you, an apparent three-fourths of our young adult population). And who knows, maybe I can go do things without having to be the one to foot the bill for a change :p

I've gotten WAY TOO INTO Tumblr, as was bound to happen really. It's a hub of humour and nerdism, and I just can't resist such things. Fandoms are my happy places. I've also started to watch K-Dramas, which are heart-rending. If you haven't watched any yet, dearest readers, don't. You will be crying on your floor. Or just really frustrated at the characters.

Except for Woo Bin, who will have none of anyone's bullcrap. 

I also joined a Sorority. Does that surprise you? Well, it's online. And it's a Pottermore Sorority. Silly you! We all just kind of post our lives at each other, and it's great XD My twin Ren added me to it, and it's been a good time. I've made some friends as weird as I am. I also need to plan a trip to New York. Partially so I can do a dance. It's gonna be sweet.

I look normal now, as well. I had my head split into halves, with black and purple hair for a while, But now I've dyed it dark brown for a spell, and that's okay as well ^^

I'm always an adventure, if nothing else.
This pretty much catches up the important things I've been up to, so I'll say farewell for now.

What an interesting day today has turned out to be.

Ah, my dear internets. What an eventful day today has been.
 It started with a trip the dentist. Well, oral surgeon, technically. In any case, the man who made hurty holes in my mouth where my wisdom teeth used to be. Today was my checkup, to which I'm glad to report I am doing dandy. All is healing up as planned and such. And then I went home.

 Now, dearies, my current living situations have always been temporary. I'm living with my best friend of six years, Diamond. Diamond is still living with her mother, who is, in her words "The kind of person who makes you think 'Okaaaayyyy........?"". She's prone to screaming at Diamond for hours for no particular reason, playing one scene of her movie on loop, while simultaneously playing her stereo as loud as it can go, and obsessively cleaning the house (whether the room has been dirtied in the slightest or not). She is definitely some kind of strange.
 Today she decided she needed to "talk to" Diamond, which escalated into her screaming about how selfish and manipulative Diamond is and how anyone who says otherwise is a liar, which escalated into how Diamond and I have to get out of her *profanity profanity profanity* house. So Diamond and I spent the day looking for apartments we could viably move into.

 Now, we've been staying in the same room for a while now, and two-bedroom apartments aren't much more expensive than one-bedrooms. So, if we were to find a third roommate, rent would be down to an affordable level (around 250 per person per month, since I don't have a job yet and can't contribute to rent). Luckily, we found someone almost immediately who had a full-time job and wanted to move out. It was a friend of ours, and during the course of the day, we solidified our plans and started talking about the things we'd need in the new apartment. This evening, he went home to tell his mom about his choice to move out. Two minutes later, he completely backed out, and was pretty rude about it, too. And then he got offended when our facebook search for someone else made him sound unreliable. He got a piece of my mind about that, too.

 We've found someone else now, and it's looking like she'll be more reliable (and she's making her own decisions for herself), so we should be moved out by next week.
 And tomorrow morning I'm picking Colin to help me get the couch into my vehicle, that Diamond and I are purchasing off of Ye Olde Craigslist!
 Also, on Friday, Diamond, Colin, and I are having a Lord of the Rings marathon ;p Extended editions.

 So this was MY day! A bit crazy. And I apologize for all my posts being about my life. BUT! I will have some posts about crafties or snacks when I'm a bit more settled in. Promise!

   Talk to you all later!
