Well I know it's been a while... but I just really havent felt like writing in a bit. It's funny... cuz when things happen, I always think about how I'll want to write about it, but then when I sit down, I never feel like writing. I've actually been thinking a lot more about starting to write a book. I want a write a book about all of my bad dates... kinda like short story/chelsea handler style. I wanna ask others to also add their stories too, if they think they have a date in their past that is worth writing about... because it was soooo bad! (I have oodles of them. It's ridiculous!) But anyway... I think it would be fun to really share my stories. Some of them (well one in particular) is kinda graphic.. and I wanna put the story in there cuz it is hilarious, but I'm not sure that I should. S has said that she'll help me edit the book... so maybe I'll see what she thinks.
Anyway... the big update: I'm moving to Richmond this weekend! I've been packing up my stuff... and I'm just about ready to go. I got offered a job, and found some really great roommates all in one weekend about 3 weeks ago. Since then, I'm still really excited about the roommates, who are a lesbian couple, plus one other lesbian; but ive been having second thoughts about the salon. Luckily I had another salon call me so I had a phone interview today with the owner, and I think this might be a better fit for me. I'm meetin with her in person on Friday, and I'll make my decision after that. But wow... moving to Richmond in 3 days! It, for serious, just still doesnt seem real. I'm looking foward to getting there, and then fastfowarding like a week, so then I can feel more settled... and hopefully it'll start to feel like home. I'm totally stoked... I'm so excited that I made this decision and that I'm following through with it. This is the perfect ending to this year! I found a path that I wanted to take, and I'm taking it. I found love, and she's wonderful and adorable. I'm so happy for this fresh start to my life... and I can't wait until it all feels real. :)

Bitch-face. New job.
So I finally quit the dreadful coffee shop. I'm not even sure if I've talked much about how ridiculous that place was on here very much... but here's a quickie catch up.
The owner is filipino. She has lived here for most of her life, yet I still can't understand most of what comes out of her mouth. Now I'm all for different cultures finding a home here, but when you're trying to boss me around, it'd be best if I can understand you. And when you're yelling at me in front of customers because I'm doing something wrong because you didn't teach me how in the first place, please use proper english. Great, thanks.
And then... all of my paychecks were under, except for one. That's one, out of 5, and they were under by at least $50. All of the other girls that worked there had the same issue, which just led me to think... why in the hell are you still working here you idiots?? When we tried to talk to the dragon-lady-boss, she told us that we must not be clocking in and out correctly, and that it's our fault. Next, she had hired me to work during the day, since I do my hair clients at night. I had a great schedule for the first week, and then after that she started giving me all night shifts. Like seriously, every single one. I'd get an opening shift like once a week. So I'd have to dispute my schedule with her on a weekly basis. Oh and our schedule was from Sunday through Saturday, and she wouldn't make the schedule for the following week until Saturday night. That works out really well when I have to make appts for my clients, and she keeps messing up my schedule. After all of the disputing, her 'fix it' was then only scheduling me for 9 hours a week. Ok, now... what is the fucking point?
So this past week, I had asked her the week before to let me know what my schedule would be as soon as she could because I had to get back to like 4 different clients about scheduling their appts. I texted her that on friday, and she didn't get back to me until the following Monday (of last week). Well by then, I was over it and my clients were blowin up my phone, so I had to just go ahead and schedule them. I mean they are more important anyway. So when she finally gets back to me, it's too late. I text her a couple days later that I'm gonna have to leave the coffee shop, and she then goes off on me and tries to give me like 8 guilt trips. Says that I'm totally screwing her over. And her texts were all in completely broken english, which just irritated me more. I jsut had to shake my head, I never did respond.
So I'm done there. Well, the same day that this all went down, I got a call from my girl at the temp agency where I had applied a bit before I started at the coffee shop, asking me if I was interested in working on an assignment for them. I said... UMMMM YEAH! Perfect timing :). So she set me up with a short term job, it's only 2 weeks, but it's paying $10 an hour, so it'll be a nice little chunk of monayyy. I'm working for the American Heart Association (have been now for 2 days starting last week on Thursday) helping them raise money for a fundraiser walk that they have coming up. I'm basically just making warm calls all day to people that have already signed up to help, and asking them if they'd be willing to ask their contacts for help or donations through an email that I jsut fwd to them. Easiest job, and everyone there is sooooo nice. And I feel like I'm working for a good cause, so that makes me feel great :). So anyway, on my second day there, my boss Julie came up behind me and gave me a hug and told me that I'm doing such a great job and that she wishes she could keep me! Unfortunately they don't have an opening for a fulltimer there, but that they do have an office in Richmond (where I'm moving in a couple months) that always has openings and she'd love to refer me there. She's actually from there so we'd been talking about my move. So I'm thinking that might actually be a good idea. That way I could do the same thing I've been doing here. I'd have to work on building a clientel, so making money in a salon right from the start would be slow. So if I had a steady reasonable income to start with in an office, I could work on getting a clientel at home at night, and then maybe I'd go into a salon later with a clientel. I think this sounds like a great idea, and I really like the idea of working for a non profit organization too. I'm really good at marketing and fundraising, and getting people involved in things, so this could be great. We'll see what happens, but I'm getting more excited about moving with this idea. I've been scared that i'd be struggling financially for a long time after I move there, but this could be my way around that. yay!

Well hi there.
So I took a little trip to the city where I'm thinkin about movin (and this is where my Squirty B lives, and she graciously let me crash on her couch) and I had a good trip there. It was my first trip there that was for the purposes of lookin around to see salons where i could work. I went into quite a few, and there is one that is really standing out to me. She and I had been emailing back and forth for the past week, and I got to see her, but she was busy with a client so I didn't get to sit and talk with her. But the place is really cute, it's an old house that's been converted into a business.. and just being in there.. I felt so stylish and cute and confident... like it was a place that I would want to promote and tell people that i worked there. Plus the owner had told me through emails that she sends her stylists to New York for training classes in hair... I would literally be on cloud 9. :)
I am literally just saving up every last penny that I can at the point, so that i can move in a few months, and have a nice cushion to fall back on. I want to make a few more trips, and take a look at a few more salons that I just found out about. Oh and now I have another friend that says she would move there with me.. she's actually way out in AZ but she wants to move here, and we were talking about living together in the city I am in now. Well I told her that i wanted to move, and she said that she'd actually already been looking at schools there, she wants to go to hair schools too (aww!). I had cut her hair a few months ago when she was out here visiting, and she said that me cutting her hair, and all of the passion that I put into it, inspired her to follow her heart and go to hair school, like she's always wanted to. :) What a compliment!
Oh and I met a new girl, and she is sweet and cute as hell, and she gives me butterflies (and I give her the same butterfliesss!!!), and I met her for the first time while I was in the new city visiting. :) It is of course very new, and I don't want to get my hopes up about her, and subconciously make this move somewhat about the idea of finding love there... I really want to make this decision about myself, and about making myself happy and maybe even finding 'home' even if I don't end up staying there. Whatever is meant to happen, will happen. I just need a change, and I know that I need to just go ahead and do it for myself, rather than waiting for life to happen around me. I'm excited to see how this all plays out for me, and excited for some long needed and awaited CHANGE. :)

So much to say!
Ok so I have a new plan that I'm considering working towards. So maybe it's more of a new idea, but I'm definitely looking into it.
As many of you might know... I have been living in the same city since I was born. And you may also know... that I want... OUT! I have been longing for a change of scenery ever since I can remember. It's weird to feel like you don't belong where you've always been. About the only thing I think I'll miss here is the beach... but I could do without that for a chance to see and experience new things, new people, new surroundings... a new life. I'm just ready to get out of here.
I was talking to an old coworker on the phone the other day. She and I worked together everyday for 4 years, and we of course became very close. I have since quit the salon (about 8 months ago) and she has since moved 4 states away after getting married and he got stationed down there. So our 'catch up' phone calls end up including about every detail of our lives that we've missed since being apart haha. Well... after 3 minutes of talking... she stopped talking about her latest story and said 'kelly... what's wrong?' to which I replied... huh? What are you talking about? Well... she could hear it in my voice, like only she would be able to. But she just knows when I'm not at my usual 100%. And, without me having to even say it.. (or even realize what my underlying tones really mean at the time) she tells me that she thinks I should move already. She has a cousin who is moving to Richmond (which is about 2 hours away) and that she thinks I should go with her, and be roommates. Ok so 2 hours away doesn't sound like a big move... but the difference in culture and surroundings would be great. The gay scene is bigger there (as it is in any bigger city I guess), the art scene is definitely bigger there... just so many more possibilities.
I brushed it off when she first said it... but I've really been thinking about it. On top of moving, I think I want to get back into a salon. I have loved doing my own thing (and most importantly, making my own hours and MONEY), but I miss being a part of a salon family. My life has become lonely. I go to my clients' homes, do their hair, and then leave by myself. I have made some new friends and acquaintances by doing this, but nothing like what I had when I was working in the salon. But I don't want to work in a different salon in this area. I think I just have a mental block against this place at this point. I don't want to get into anything that would tie me down here. I've had 2 clients here offer to even open salons for me... and I've turned them down. I have my reasons... I don't want to be a part of anything that keeps me here. So I've been doing some online research about salons there, and been in touch with a couple of them. I've sent my resume off, and gotten invited to visit a few there.
I've talked to the cousin that is moving there... but not sure that I'd want to live with her. I've had a lot of bad roommate situations, and I wouldn't ever want to have a reason to not be ok with her family. Plus I have no idea how 'okay' she'd be with the gay thing. I think on the outside she'd be fine with it... but if I start dating someone it could be a different story. She just seems a little more sheltered... but who knows. We're gonna have lunch and talk about everything and then I'll have a better idea of if we'd be good roommates. So I might just look for another roommate there... but not sure about that yet.
Also, I'm thinking that because this city is still somewhat close to home, I could definitely keep some of my clients, just come home a couple times a month to keep up with them, so I could keep that portion of my income until I start making more money there.
This all might sound like a small change, small move to some of you... but this is huge for me. I love that city, love the atmosphere there... but I'm still scared. My reason for being scared is money. I'm just scared that I won't be able to do it all on my own. But I think if I have a real goal to work towards, and the idea of being somewhere where I feel more like myself, and around people that i might even have more in common with... I would work harder to be able to sustain the new lifestyle. I think my issue is just that I've kinda always had a helping hand from my parents in one way or another, which in turn has left me feeling like I might not be able to do it on my own. But I can. I have the passion and the talent to make something of myself. I know I can do this... and I'm getting really excited about it. It'll be a few months before I move if everythign works out, I want to save up more money before moving away so I have a cushion.
Sound like a good idea?

Pictures as promised.
So these are a little late, but here's some pics from last weekend seeing Grace Potter and the Nocturnals with SquirtyB and her friends.
The view as we're walking to the festival.
Blurry Grace Potter, the woman who stole my heart!
Grace rockin out. Be still my heart. She was so sexy.
And her voice is just amazing.
hahahha sorry Squirty, I just couldn't help but to put this up! This is SquirtyB on the left, with her gf.
Here's a better one hehhehe.
And here's me with SquirtyB. The stage is behind us! We had such a good time, even though we were all sweating so bad that my makeup literally melted right off my face. See the shine??? Good times.
I am also super excited because I got a new computer. My old one was broken and it turned out that the repairs were gonna be more expensive than the thing was even worth, so I got a really nice used laptop for only $150!!! It's way newer than the one I had and works great and I love it. It even has windows 7 on it.
Again more excitedness because my friend S has a friend who just put her condo up for rent and H and I are gonna go look at it this week. It's a 2 bedroom 2 full bath, in a great part of town, and she's bringing the price down to only $900 a month for us since I know her best friend. I'm so excited, I'm ready! She's revamping the whole place, so it'll be ready for us to look at by wednesday. Whooooop!

And the search begins.
So I've been living back at my mom's house now for a little over 3 months, and I'm pretty much at my breaking point. My friend H has had to recently move back in with her mom, and she's ready to lose it too. I met up with her last night for her cousin's birthday celebration, and we had some drinks and formulated a plan. The plan is to find a place together. The plan is to begin this week. The plan is now. The plan is genius.
I'm really excited about this, I really think that she and I will be the refreshment that the other needs, and it's definitely something to look foward to. I'm happy that I was able to save up some money while being at home, but it's definitely time to go!
I bought Chelsea Handler's book "Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang" and just started reading it. I've only just read the first chapter, and already I was laughing so hard that there were tears streaming down my face and my jaw about fell to the floor like 3 times. She is hilarious! And raunchy as hell, but I love it. I can't wait to see what else this crazy broad has to say. I love her show, so when I saw her book, I knew I had to get it. I think she has a couple others out too, so I'll probably be getting those soon too.

Oh I hate moving.
So on very short notice, I've been looking for a new place to live. Like I said in a previous post, I feel like I've been doing nothing but moving for the past few years. It's just so hard to find a good roommate. My current roommate and I have gotten along really well since I moved in, which was in January. He and his fiance had married in January before she was leaving for deployment to Afghanistan. Less than a month after she's gone, he finds out that she's already dating someone else who is in her command. Yeah... way to go.
He and I become good friends fast, with me having to console him through all the trauma. And even after all the drama calmed, he seemed to be doing a lot better, we still did most activities together. Great friends. Until. She's coming home for 2 weeks leave from her year long deployment. He's still in love with her, and after seeing her for all of 5 minutes, he's telling me that he is wanting to do whatever he can to make it work. So, the little princess is running the show again. She's 20 years old (he's 32), and thinks that she's God's gift to the world, and even more so, she knows that she's got him in the palm of her hand, and she's eating it up. She tells him that she wants to stay legally married but that when she gets back at the end of her deployment, she wants to move to Richmond (which is 2 hours away from here) and spend some time on her own for a couple years, but that they can see each other on some weekends. He, being the lovestruck dumbass that he is, agrees. On top of all that, she's apparently not ok with the fact that he's made friends here without her being around (me and the neighbors that we've become close with), so she is telling him that he has to move into a different place. The lease is up here in a month, and we had planned to renew it and stay. But now, he's going to be moving, and when I asked if I was going to be moving with him (since I know we both can't afford to live on our own), he said "well, that's up to you I guess, but the place I'm moving to is going to be A LOT more expensive..." basically a very sheepish way of telling me HEY GUESS WHAT! You need to find something else. So here I am.
He's completely changed since she's been home. She's leaving in a few days to go back to her deployment, thank god. She makes it awkward as hell here. They have two dogs, who of course have become attached to me since I've been living here. When they run up to me when I get home from somewhere, she yanks them back as if she doesn't want them to touch me. I just stand there like... wtf is wrong with this girl. It was her idea for me to move in in the first place, and now she acts as if she hates me for no reason. It's just so weird. I haven't done anything but be a friend to this guy since she broke his heart.
So! I've been looking for roommates on craigslist. I went to meet with this guy after work today, and he turned out to be so creepy that I didn't even get out of my car, I just kept driving when I saw him. And the house was in a cute neighborhood, but it was the sore thumb on the street. He had two broken down cars parked in the front yard and and a trailer with some kind of contraption in it, and with grass growing up tall all around it. Oh... dear god. One potential roommate crossed off the list, and a few more to go. Keep your fingers crossed for me. I'm trying to find a good place soon, so that I can just go ahead and make the big move. No reason to stick around here and deal with weirdness if I can help it.
He and I become good friends fast, with me having to console him through all the trauma. And even after all the drama calmed, he seemed to be doing a lot better, we still did most activities together. Great friends. Until. She's coming home for 2 weeks leave from her year long deployment. He's still in love with her, and after seeing her for all of 5 minutes, he's telling me that he is wanting to do whatever he can to make it work. So, the little princess is running the show again. She's 20 years old (he's 32), and thinks that she's God's gift to the world, and even more so, she knows that she's got him in the palm of her hand, and she's eating it up. She tells him that she wants to stay legally married but that when she gets back at the end of her deployment, she wants to move to Richmond (which is 2 hours away from here) and spend some time on her own for a couple years, but that they can see each other on some weekends. He, being the lovestruck dumbass that he is, agrees. On top of all that, she's apparently not ok with the fact that he's made friends here without her being around (me and the neighbors that we've become close with), so she is telling him that he has to move into a different place. The lease is up here in a month, and we had planned to renew it and stay. But now, he's going to be moving, and when I asked if I was going to be moving with him (since I know we both can't afford to live on our own), he said "well, that's up to you I guess, but the place I'm moving to is going to be A LOT more expensive..." basically a very sheepish way of telling me HEY GUESS WHAT! You need to find something else. So here I am.
He's completely changed since she's been home. She's leaving in a few days to go back to her deployment, thank god. She makes it awkward as hell here. They have two dogs, who of course have become attached to me since I've been living here. When they run up to me when I get home from somewhere, she yanks them back as if she doesn't want them to touch me. I just stand there like... wtf is wrong with this girl. It was her idea for me to move in in the first place, and now she acts as if she hates me for no reason. It's just so weird. I haven't done anything but be a friend to this guy since she broke his heart.
