Cleaning!

music: Watching: SuperSize Me
mood: Motivated

I really really times ten thousand can't wait to be rid of this apartment! Not only do I *not* need to be paying this much to live by myself [in a shitty-assed apartment, no less], but even if I had wanted to stay, I wouldn't for the next year. You see, the apartment complex management (or what have you) have upped the amount they want for payment again! This, not twenty dollars though...They want FIFTY more dollars than they did. Crazyiness! So whatever, I'm moving, all is good. Very good! I haven't started working out religously yet, but I'm really motivated to do so. I think once everything is settled, I'll start and be well on my way to loosing the appropriate amount of weight (and making my muscles more stronger in the process) so that I can join the Marines. I still want it!

Speaking of the Marines, I had been wondering all this time if they didn't want me...I mean, I stayed away from the recruiters because of Sgt. K (dickhead), and no one had called me at all asking where I was. Well to make the long story short, Gunny Sparks called me yesterday (at my mom's house) to see where I was, and if I was over my Mono yet. ??? Apparently Sgt. K told Gunny Sparks I had Mono and thats why I wasn't coming to PT...This Sgt. K is in trouble, and I'd rather not say too much about it, but his sorry Marine butt has been under house arrest per the Marines, and is currently undergoing investigations pertaining to his poolies/new Marines he had recruited. We're all so happy because no one liked this guy ^_^

I'm currently cleaning, and getting ready to throw more crap out. ;d I don't have much more stuff left, but I don't use anything that I have stored in the bigger bedroom...I'm wondering if I should just toss it all out, or what. I mean I know its stuff I want to save, and all that, but when I get home from boot camp, will I need it all? I'm doubting it. I will still have more schooling and then after that I'll come home yah, for the Reserves, but who knows...I might just say "Let me go Active Duty!" heh. I guess it remains to be seen huh.

Life...?

music: um...dunno the name of it...
mood: bbqwtf?

I realize that I haven't updated in a while. This is due to the fact that I have terrible time-magagement skillz -_-; As far as updates go, I threw out a lot more crap from my apartment, and am going to be looking soon for either some of my brother's friends, or my boyfriend's, to help me get this furniture out of my apartment. The furniture here was cast offs from my mom when she got new furniture, so there is no reason to keep it. I was thinking that I may take it to a salvation army type of place...But I have two cats and they are covered in cat hair (and who knows, perhaps a few fleas are still living in them? lols!).

I finally got a membership at the gym my boyfriend has just a few days ago, and am going to get 10 meetings with a personal trainer which is always nice. Its going to cost just about the same amount as the other place, but eh whatever. I was paying for that and not even going heh.

My mom is having lots and lots of financial problems. She quit her last nursing job because the doctor turned out to be a total dick to his employees. Of course she has been looking for another job in the nursing/medical assistant area...But then she finds out the man she is living with is moving out (this pretty much came out of the blue) and will move when he finds a job in Indy. I think its a pretty shitty time to bring this up to my mom, he should have at least had the tact to tell her after she found another job!

Now my mom does get money from my dad for child support, about $1,000 a month actually, even though me and my brother now are both out of the house. I think however my dad got divorced from my mom, he did it kinda shady. He gives her a personal check every two weeks for $512 instead of going through the courts (which I'm relatively sure is how its supposed to go). So he's never cut the amount of money down, or my mom would take him to court and call him out on that hehe ^_^

It has been a very trying time for my mom though...I didn't even know that she didn't have a job. She hid it from even ME for a few weeks. I'm her oldest kid, she doesn't need to keep anything from me. Oh well. I guess she's behind on her mortgage payments and car payments and such, bad times. I finally had her call her sister, my aunt Jeanine, to ask if she could borrow money. I knew she wanted to call, but she didn't have the nerve/courage to do so since I guess she's borrowed money from them before They will help her out, which is good. I'd do anything to help my brother or sister out.

And speaking of my sister, oh my. She's being quite the little dumbass when it comes to her schoolwork (and knowledge in a general sense). Shes in 8th grade (and also 15 years old! She's been held back twice -- maybe even three times, I'm not sure) and can't even calculate change from a store. My mom doesn't know what to do with her, especially because I guess my sister doesn't get in trouble at school when she doesn't turn in homework (bbq? I'm only 24, but back when I was in high school you got detentions and such for continually not doing what is required of you in classes, heh...).

I'm like my mom in a lot of ways -- especially in the fact that we have little to no friends. The one woman my mom was growing very close to (another Marine mom), had some sort of kid hissy-fit at my mom over something trivial (in my mind), so my mom doesn't even have her to talk to at this point in time. Unlike me, my mom is not addicted to the internet. She has gotten over hating the computer and knows how to turn it on now and check email hehe!

Cleaning

music: Moulin Rouge
mood: Sweaty

I'm currently cleaning my living room/kitchen area of my apartment...So DUSTY! And cat-hairy as well. I think also, my cats are pissed at me for vacuuming so much ^_^ They're so scared of that hehe. I've gotten about a garbage-bags worth of crap thrown out; you know, like the stuff you just leave laying about instead of chucking. Its not food garbage or anything gross, just papers and plastic bags from stores and such.

I found the flea comb and on a whim, used it on Rozz...And found a flea :\ Pisses me off! Those things are soo hard to get rid of. When I get my next check I'm going to take him to a vet and stuff, same with Maestro. Fortunetly, that was the only one I found and I brushed him really well...Didn't even find hardly any "flea dirt" on him, like before. I may go to the store to get some flea medication to stick on the backs of their neck though, just while I wait to take them to the vet.

I may need to call a few of my brother's friends, to see if they'd help get rid of this shitty assed furniture in my apartment. I wouldn't even think about trying to give them to anyone, so full of cat hair and probably fleas LOL no just kidding. I had previously bug bombed my place and sprayed flea killing stuff everywhere.

What, what happened here?

music: Watching: Battlefield Earth
mood: Tired

Hi, my name is Veriria, and this is my main site, and has always been mine. I know it looks different than what it used to. Well, I've decided that my main page wasn't being used for much, so I'd use it for my main internet blog. If you are looking for my Cartoon Dolls, please refer to the links to the upper right side of the page. That site will always remain online, while I still own veriria.com/rubberhouse.net...Even if I don't really make dolls anymore.

My hopes for this site will to detail my experience on getting fit and working out...And hopefully, when I become a United States Marine! If anyone knows of any sites which offer military type website layouts, I'd appreciate a link or two. Thanks for taking the time to read this, and any words of encouragement you can offer. Thanks and Ooh-rah!

*edited to add* If I start seeing any more "spam" messages on here, I will make it to where no one at all can post comments.

I HATE money!

music: null
mood: pissy

So the random few people I've borrowed money from, or owe money to for something, have all recently called me about my debts to them - which is utter bullshit, does anyone honestly think your average non-rich 24 year old has the money to spare right after the Christmas holidays just ended? What the f*ck is wrong with your skullbone? Honestly! I apparently owe:

O Money at work for debits (if we are short, we owe Amtrak money; if we over-remitted, we get a credit)
O My aunt Cookie, who paid for me to go to California to see my brother graduate from boot camp, has apparently been bitching up a storm at my mom, who never told me!
O My car had something go wrong with it, so I had to borrow money from my Dad just to get it fixed...So thats even more negative money.

Honestly, I can't wait to get away. Money this, money that. Money, money, money. MONEY! Americans don't worship any sort of god or God, or what have you.

They worship the all powerful MONEY. And as an afterthought, the Clock is probably some sort of semi-god as well. Hehehe!
