Well, it's amazing how much can change in such a short time. Last time I wrote in here I was distraught from the extremely annoying 'my car blew up in the middle of nowhere new mexico' situation. I drove the remaining miles to Arizona in a beautiful, brand new, cherry red 2012 volkswagon jetta. Of course, this was just a rental car, not my forever car. It was fun to drive though. It was fun to drive a car that I knew wasn't going to explode at any moment and also that I didn't have to mash my foot down really hard to get it to accelerate above 60mph.
I finally made it to Arizona and to my boy friend's parent's house, where we proceeded to do exactly what we did in North Carolina (and colorado for that matter), settle into a pile and watch movies and TV shows all day while drinking copious amounts of vodka and smoking many cigarettes (and a good deal of medicinal hash, as well. )
Finally, faire started and we semi-moved on site, although I still spent most time at his parent's house since his mom drove us, I had no car, and didn't want to be stuck on site with no electricity or company (he works all week.)
All the time I've been stuck there, I was looking for a new car. after several unsuccessful trips (and a few crying jags where I felt like only bad things were happening to me and nothing good, which is ridiculous because I love my job at this faire - the cappuccino inn again - and have been making good money, have a boyfriend who is also my best friend and who i want to spend all my time with...) I FINALLY found it...my dream car. Literally! One morning when I was in the middle state between sleep and waking, a voice whispered in my ear 'the car will be dark blue....' I semi-ignored it but always kept he thought in the back of my mind. When all hope seemed lost, it suddenly appeared. A 2000 subaru outback, dark blue and grey, for the right price. And now she is mine! I named her Arcadia, because I've always liked the word and it means a kind of Utopia. And there's a book about a commune called Arcadia and one of the characters is named Astrid, and the car before my last one was named Astrid.) I love it because I've wanted this kind of car for years and years, and whenever I step outside now and see it parked anywhere, my first thought is: GIVE ME YOUR CAR! and then my second thought is,IT IS MY CAR!!! so that's exciting.
I also foud a job for Colorado, a job that I think I will like, because it involves selling real fossils and I love fossils. If it works out and I do like it and fit in there, I'll have all jobs that I really like and make good money at, at every faire that I do. Last year Arizona and Colorado were both bad shows where I hated my job. Now this year I LOVE my job in AZ, and hopefully will in Colorado, too. Any job that requires me to do research about fossils and stuff is good for me, honestly.
So things are going really, really well in my life right now. I'm kind of nervous about it, because I keep waiting for things to be really bad. But then I remember that things WERE very bad for a while, so this is things getting back to good, which I absolutely deserve. It is nice to write in here about good things happening instead of complaining about shitty stuff. It feels weird to be kind of puking rainbows everywhere though, so I will say that the general public is still annoying and dumb. So...there's that!
