......... *shiver*.....
So. Things have a tendancy to fall into my lap... Small amounts of cash, girls(though they don't stay long), expencive knives(ouch).... Opportunities!
Ok lets start with the party... Party was fun. Yay another young girl who's obsessed with my hair. Lovely... That's fine. I'm not interested in her. She's Sarita's friend and after I got a little smashy smashy and grabby grabby with Sarita, she's droping little reminders about her boyfriend like 'So how's Arron?' That got a little anoying but meh.. Zar and I were cuddly! Stupidly cuddly. But all in all, fun was had. There were some cranberry drink spills on light colored carpet. Everybody applauded my ability to remove the stains.
Mom came around 12:30 to pick us up. I was quite subdued by alcahol. We drove Sarita home. Somewhere along the way mom mentioned a goldsmith looking for help. I was pretty out of it so 'm like 'Uh huh'...
The next morning she's printed out this sheet from a job search website. I seem to be quilified save for the expirience with gold specificaly.
So I call, the woman it said to contact wasn't in until 4:00 today.
Our good friends Randy and Jenn came over for dinner. Jenn's mom is a jeweler from Florida whom I've been corrisponding with. She wanted to see my shop. We chatted all night, she says gold is easyer to work than silver.. Silversmiths have an easy transition to gold but goldsmiths have trouble going to silver..
I had LOTS to drink. Good dinner. THey brought their dog, Rafter over... Nice black lab and we think part pitbull.. He's got the head. but he's really friendly.
So I call the jeweler today, she says I want to talk to her daughter who's in at 5:00 (whom I think is the woman who answered the phone yesterday,) Approaching my third time calling I'm starting to lose my cool confidence. I'm anxious and nervous. I call. She wants to see my resume and some of my work. We drive out at 5:30. Make a quick stop at Mark's Work Warehouse so I can get a new belt. The last time I bought a dress belt the woman there said "Oh they're all smaller than they say. get one a size bigger..." Too Big... So this time I made sure. Also got some nice pants that were on clearance. Some anti stain, no fade dress pants, and these spiffy, heavy twill kinda olive drab cargoes. They've got buckles and sippers all over. Really cool.
I'm all dressed up. We zip out to the mall and I go in.
Nice little shop. I've wondered about it before.
She seemed very impressed with my work. She even knows the guy who taught me. She likes my work expirience. But the lack of gold expirience is making her wary... So she said she'd fax my resume to someone running a gold course at the college. She said they'd 'sponser' me... ?! Cool. So I at the least have a store saying to the school they want me in that class. I don't think she means pay for my tuition.
Then they might have an apprenticeship for me. I could do sales. Maybe not the job they were advertizing. But it seems she wants to help me get somewhere... This is awesomely freaky.. I'll welcome the change to my life. But I'm nervouse. This is the first real change I've had for a while... So it's exciting and scary at the same time...
I was kind of in a daze after. Palms sweaty as hell.
We stopped on the way home for swiss chalet and to get mice and crickets for Bernie and Snake-Snake.
I have lots of mice for Kaieda. It's only really profitable to raise them to hoppers. It takes too long for them to grow large enough for Snake-Snake and they eat alot of food. I have a litter of ten babies now. The mothers haven't eaten any so taking the canibal out really helped. She's in a seperate cage with the male for now.
They have a beautiful Fire Skink at the petshop.. A bit smaller than bernie, but black with red and yellow... Almost flames up it's sides. I want it so bad. But no not if I'm going to school. But we will see about that too.
So now I sit... At my cmoputer... In my underpants... Nightwish blasting from the speakers... Soon to be Enomine.
Gonna clean, see if I can gather the strength to work out in this heat. Work out some finances. We'll see what happens. I wish I had bothered to save up a bit more money. I wanna get my creditcard paid off completely incase my financial situation becomes a little less stable. We'll see... Uh.. Ok gotta go think now...

Sometimes though, the woman doesn't want to be pursued and nothing can change her mind. I am that woman right now. Austin's a good guy but there's nothing there on my end. I really don't know what to tell him.
