Things have been all over the place lately. Remember when I went on about my night job that I loved Oh So Much? Yeah, turns out we all got laid off because we completed all the work way quicker than originally expected. Yeah, huge bummer, but I still have my coffee shop job.
Speaking of which, I was given the opportunity to become a supervisor. I have to take a few online management classes before my raise goes into effect, but once I find the time to do so, things should be looking up. I am still playing catch up with all my bills, and constantly wondering where the hell my day went to, but it's a lot better than sitting around, phoneless, wondering when I would catch a break.
Speaking of which, I got a new phone! I have crossed over from the Droid, and I am now a proud owner of an Apple iPhone. Without going into the ole Droid vs. Apple debate (which will happen when I have more time on my hands) lets just say I am happy, and lets also say all of you should be following me on Instagram (@rebelmel)
I've been taking pictures, and planning on topics to share with you guys, I just haven't found the time to sit down and do it. Maybe this weekend? No promises, though. I am only finding the time to schmooze over here right now because I am waiting for my roommate, Hana, to get home. She is my Wifey4Lifey, and we are going to have a delicious steak dinner accompanied by some wine. She's on her way home from work now, and I am waiting for the steak to marinade.
Wish me luck on the marinade, it's a simple, yet weird concoction, that I think will be ridiculously delicious.
With that being said, I hope all of you have a wonderful Thanksgiving, and I will be back soon enough to rub in your faces the deliciousness I make/eat tomorrow. Along with a few other updates, a few recipes, and a few projects I have been working on.
Highs and Lows.
I always say that whenever I have like, shit tons of good luck, that something absolutely catastrophic is about to happen. And it is completely true. I mean, I have dug deep down and thought about the meaning of happiness and all that jazz, and it makes sense that it isn't a real or lasting emotion, but that isn't what I am getting at.
What I am getting at is the fact that I will have a ridiculous string of good luck, I will be completely content and satisfied with everything going on, and then I will get this overwhelming anxiety feeling, because I know shit is about to hit the fan.
And it always does.
Last week was no exception. I was riding the highs up until mid-week. So many fun things had happened. I was satisfied with the way things were going with the boy I liked, in fact we had decided to go on our "first date" Friday night, even though we have been sleeping next to each other for a couple weeks already. Work was going alright. Actually, both of my jobs were going fantastic - even though I was constantly tired for my morning job, and frequently late, my boss understood that I was pushing myself really hard, and actually let me leave early a few times in order to catch up on sleep. I had also started getting some of my debts taken care of by setting up payment plans, I got a new phone number and iPhone in order rid myself of my crazy exes. I had also made a few new friends, felt like I had a "plan" for once, and even found a cigarette on the ground walking home when I was REALLY craving one and didn't have any.
That night when I got home from work, I wrote on facebook that I have had so many wins in the past 48 hours, and then followed it up by saying that something catastrophic was about to happen.
And guess what? I was right. The next night at work we were all laid off, and super bummed out. A job that I actually liked, with co-workers that I had actually gotten along with, and hours that were not awful. And then, laid off. I still have my day job, but a lot of things that I was planning on doing, like yknow, buying food, will have to wait a few weeks. Eff.

Friend Crushes.
I swore up and down at five am that I was going to go out and grab a few things so that I could make meals for the week today, and guess what? I ended up going to The Boy I'm Crushin' On's house for late night spooning, an afternoon vespa ride and a quick breakfast. On my way home I told myself I was going to stop at the store and grab all the goods. And guess what I did? I bought a new nosering (that hurt like a bitch to insert because I hadn't had any jewelry in for almost two weeks) a bottle of cheap champagne and Cherry Limeade.
I am currently sitting on the couch, listening to Ziggy Stardust and drinking Cherry Limeade Mimosas. Am I going to make food for the week today? That's still up in the air.
But, however, I was thinking earlier about how neat Friend Crushes are. Like when you meet someone new, and you totally like them, but not in a dating or sexual kind of way. You just like the energy that person gives off, and you want to become friends with them. I think that's fucking rad. And I have totally been getting friend crushes lately, and it's totally neat.
Anyway, now it's time to destroy the kitchen, because I haven't cleaned it in a few days and it's starting to look yucky.

The five AM ramble.
Well, it's about five am, and I couldn't tell you why I think it is appropriate to still be awake. This post has close to no rhyme or reason - I just hate how much I slack with my writing and am using this as a "warm up" to ensure that I don't lose my "touch" with my colorful terminology and eccentric explanations of things.
Now that my stress levels are fading because I work 60ish hours per week, I feel the need to write more often than I did when I had nothing to talk about aside from the worthlessness that I felt. My day job is awful, it hardly pays me anything, and it is nothing close to glamorous. But, my night job, I actually really enjoy it. I like the people I work with, including my bosses. How often does that happen? I don't want to go into too many details, but lets just say I work closely with Hello Kitty and Darth Vader, while geeking out and eating snacks.
I am still trying to set up my room from my move back in September - yeah, I was pretty lazy, but I think tomorrow is the day that I will make it look like someone actually lives in the room, instead of looking like there is a squatter staying there who dislikes washing and putting away laundry. I planned on doing that earlier tonight, but I ended up chain smoking cigarettes and listening to Ziggy Stardust instead. And yes, I know, I could have cleaned and unpacked while doing that, but I just plain ole didn't feel like it.
Tomorrow (actually, today, I just say tomorrow because I haven't slept yet..) I plan on making some food for the week. I am sick of spending money on fast food, especially when I am not caught up with my bills just yet. And, like I said, I am working two jobs - instead of sleeping a full night, I now take two three hour naps in between each job, and hardly find time for laundry and cooking and cleaning, except on the weekends, which I managed to get off from both places. So, I figure, it might be a bright idea to make handful of meals for myself, instead of spending money I don't need to and/or wasting valuable napping time in between jobs.
And I have some fantastic ideas for make ahead noms. Perhaps I will post about them afterward? I wont make promises I can't keep..

It's been a while...
The past few weeks have been nothing short of hectic. I feel like this is one of the first times I have actually been able to sit down and breathe. I feel like I always have either way too much going on, or way too little, and this is one of those times I feel completely overwhelmed.
Over the past few weeks I have have a vast series of ups and downs. I had been trying and trying and trying to find myself work, while freaking out about bills, because, yknow, YOU CAN'T PAY BILLS WITHOUT MONEY, RIGHT? Well, I thought I found a personal assisting job, then the dude completely flaked out on me, without paying me, and wont respond to my email or phone calls. So it was back to the ole drawing board.
Then, I found this really neat company that makes designer flash drives. I applied, and actually got hired! And on the same day, I got hired for daytime work at a coffee shop. So, essentially, I ended up getting hired for two new jobs in the same week, then starting them both on the same day. My weekdays are now super tight, and I almost don't even have time to eat, or shower, but hey, I want to get my bills in order, and I want to buy myself some fun, neat things. Which pretty soon, I can do.
Aside from that, I ended up breaking it off with the dude I was briefly seeing - it just wasn't working. He wanted more than I did, and he wanted to move quickly, when I just wanted to chill out. We both looked at each other in different ways, and it just wasn't something I could picture in the future. Once I said I needed my own space, shit hit the fan (and that is something I will not be getting into,) and it was over even quicker than it had started.
And then, I met another boy, who I don't know well, but I know I think he is handsome, and great at spooning. And thus far, he seems to be pretty into me, as well.
So there you have it, a somewhat vague and brief update on everything that has been going on. Hopefully soon, I will have some neat stories to share.
