... have been great. :)
Yesterday, me and Mom finally got into that middle room and tore up the carpet. All of the dog smell is gone. 100% gone. I'm so happy. Now we just have to treat the wood floor underneath and then we'll be ready to put down the linoleum. It's so exciting to finally have a good portion of the work all done! The dogs aren't happy because it means they have to stay in their pens for the night, but it's their own fault that we had to replace the carpet in the first place. So hmph.
Today, I made and exceeded the quota I set for myself at work. This new job is fucking awesome. I don't like throwing dollar figures around because it sounds crass, but I made $70 by working for six hours today. Five hours early this afternoon and one hour tonight. If I keep going like this, I'll be making some really good money, and it's so liberating to finally have my own source of income. I'm still going to be relying on my mom for a lot of things, but it'll be nice to contribute a little. Buying groceries, paying down my credit card, etc.
I've been working toward this for what feels like forever. Stuck in a rut. No way out. (Cut to Gene Wilder: "No way out... No way out... NO WAY OUT!") The day before I was referred to this job, I was completely and totally depressed, convinced that I wouldn't ever get out of this mess. And now... I'm out of it. :) I feel fan-fucking-tastic and as of this moment, life could not possibly be any better.
Oh, wait. It does get better!
All hail the Queen, bitches, because Raja Gemini has officially been crowned! :D I knew she would. From the first day I saw that she was on season three, I knew she'd win. Really, was there any doubt? Any real competition? Yara, perhaps, but she folded. Manila, maybe, but she lacks that genuine fierceness we've come to expect from Raja. After three seasons, Ru finally picked a worthy winner.
Raja embodies everything that I've always aspired to be and it goes so far beyond charisma, uniqueness, nerve, and talent. She's rock and roll, she's high fashion, she's editorial, and she's a chameleon. She can adapt to anything and work it like no one's business. But she's also very inspirational. The speech she gave the other week was truly inspiring... and I'm not ashamed to admit that I teared up a little. So without getting too mushy, congratulations, Raja. No one deserved it more than you. :)
God. I hate typing right now. I did so much of it today that I'm done.
She's so wild, so animal. She's gonna work that sexy body; so sexual. She's like a female phenomenon - she's a Glamazon.
