Since Thursday I've managed to gain a metal hoop in my lip, a $300 watch, and freedom from a roomie.
I tell people often that I'm probably the most boring person I know. For most people, a lip ring is an impulse buy, but I've been mulling over this decision for around four years now. Thursday night, I decided it was time to do it, so I went out with my friends Virginia and Chris and got it done.
If you're in the Tampa area, I'd recommend Michael Wells. He's a hottie, and he was willing to put up with my friends.
Between Friday and Saturday, my roomie of the past four months finally moved out. I'm deep cleaning my apartment, and I feel like a weight's been lifted off my shoulders. In the next few months, I'm going to be painting and giving the space a giant overhaul, so it looks like either a classy Latin-inspired joint or a horrific circus tent gone wrong. I'm not sure how it's going to turn out, yet.
Since Saturday night, I've been opening my French doors and letting my cats out into the back yard. They haven't gone much farther than that, and if I spray Off (the bug spray) on my curtains, the flies and mosquitoes stay out. It's quite like paradise.
Last night, my mother gave me a $300 watch for my birthday. I keep getting grown up gifts, and I have to say, I'm surprised I enjoy them. The watch is some sort of luxury diving watch with a bunch of dials and a stingray skin strap. My mom's a total regifter; the watch was a Christmas present from her husband, but she decided she didn't like it.
It's ironic that I can barely afford my bills, but I keep getting super expensive gifts from people. At least if I become desperate, I can always hit up a pawn shop.
