Look kiddies! An update!

Wow, it's been quite some time since I last updated, hasn't it? I keep plotting out these wonderfully detailed posts in my mind, and then not having the time/attention span/energy to sit down and actually type them out.
So, let's see, what's new and exciting in the Life of Me? Faire got off to a relatively slow start this season. I didn't hit one hundred roses until the third Sunday, which also happened to coincide with everyone AND THEIR MOM showing up.
thecoddesslives,
defectivesoul,
thunderemerald, and
taidhe, just to name a few. I also thought I saw
evilfrogurt's girlfriend, but I did not spot the Billyum. Odd, that.
Things have been going amazingly well since then. I think you guys are my good luck charm, or something. You should come more often...:) Oh! And
euph0ra purchasing the rose business hasn't hurt one bit. The new boss is a real hard-ass, though. I don't think I can deal. :) (Those last two sentences, for those of you who do not have internet inflection interpretation software, were meant in jest. Har har har!)
We have bunches of new Fae Guild members. I don't know if any of them have LJ's, come to think of it. I should find that out. Anyway, Black Monday will be the First Annual Fae Guild Pranksgiving Day! ::trumpets:: Fun and pranks for one and all! The only rules are: no mean, malicious, or hurtful pranks. Absolutely no glitter unless you are three hundred percent sure that the person you are glittering will not mind. I'm not opening up that can of worms again...
In non-faire related news, I purchased a new bed. It's a loft, and it's significantly larger than my twin day-bed. Speaking of which, anybody need a twin day-bed? The bigger size means easier snuggling for myself and Rich, and the loft-i-ness means that my computer desk can be placed beneath the bed, thus allowing me more floor space. I love it! It is, however, ever so slightly to tall. Being a small person, I don't have a problem. It's a little tight for Rich, and none of my other family members can fit up there. I was planning on having Dad cut a few inches off the legs to make it a little easier, but I've decided to delay that project for now.
Why's that? I hear you ask. Well, Rich and I are planning on moving out of our respective parental domiciles, hopefully by the end of this year, and into a place of our own. If the ceilings in this potential residence are higher than the ceiling in my room, (which they are quite likely to be) lowering the bed would be silly. So we're holding off until we find a definite apartment.
Previously, I was unable to afford rent along with my other bills. However, I've been offered a promotion at work! ::more trumpets:: The week after faire ends, I begin training to be a Night and Weekend Supervisor! This not only means a pay raise, but also (most likely) more hours. Considering that there was a period during June when I was seriously considering leaving the store if they didn't promote me or give me considerably more hours, this is a very good thing. I like working there, and I get along well with all of my co-workers, so I didn't really want to leave. Now I don't have to!
Speaking of work, I had an interesting encounter a while back. A woman actually said to me, and this is a direct quote, "I don't want to have to pay for it, so you should give it to me for free." She was buying a gift bag, and wanted some tissue paper. She was spending less than ten dollars, and not buying anything breakable. I told her that we sell tissue paper in the gift wrap section. She said that she did not want to buy an entire package because she had some at home, but she wasn't going home before she had to wrap her gift. Now, keep in mind that this is my condensed version, and this woman was not being very, shall we say, polite. I kept trying to explain to her that since we sell it, it would be silly for me to just give some away, and she kept saying "I understand that, but..." However, obviously she didn't. I offered to let her pay fifty cents for some of our bulk tissue, which is when the above quote occurred. She then said "It's not coming out of your paycheck." I refrained from saying, "It will be if they fire me!" I finished ringing her up, and told her to have a nice day, except I meant, "Don't ever come back in here and talk to me like that again, bitch." Can you believe people?
Some of you may be wondering what happened to that acting thing I was planning on doing. You know, the thing I went to school for and all. Well, right now, I'm just enjoying not being in school. I'd like to be slightly more financially stable, i.e. have a little bit of a cushion in my savings account, before I go looking to start a career that may or may not go anywhere. I also need to look into getting my teeth fixed, because they make me look about eight years old on film. You all know that I look younger than I am in person, but it's much worse on film. I'm too tall, and... well...developed, shall we say, to play an eight year old. So, off to the dentist we go! Soon.
So that's it in a nutshell right now. I'm sure as soon as I click "post" I'll think of something else that I forgot to mention. Rich is up, so I shall now make him breakfast. TTFN!
