House

H2G2 Best Bang Since the Big Baang!
Well it seems that I am still in apartment-mode; I still seem to mess up my house (same thing with Zero!) because I try to do everything in one particular area, while other spaces remain entirely unused. I think that I'm going to move my craft stuff downstairs and actually create a crafting area. Because when I put my mind to it, I can be very creative - and a destructive force when it comes to making a mess.

I'm thinking of either finishing off the area as an actual room (since the basement is full but unfinished) or just decorating it as is. The problem is the area I want to convert has no heating/ac vent (although there are like six in the rest of the basement). I'm thinking of lining one of the walls (or two, or three...) with bookshelves and having all my books down there. Its a dry basement and we aren't in a flood zone, so I'm pretty comfortable with the idea. I'd really like to convert our second bedroom into a library of sorts, but I don't think Zero is too keen on the idea. Silly people who don't like to read! I was even thinking of decorating it Steampunk style too...

Speaking of Steampunk - I am totally gaga over the style! Me and Zero have both decided that will be the theme to our wedding, when we do get married. No white bloody wedding dress for me, no no no. I'm probably going to end up designing it and making it myself, or commissioning it through Etsy's alchemy section. I've had great luck so far with getting clothing pieces made for me through that. www.etsy.com for all those who have not seen it before. Its an awesome website!

We've also go to become more organized people in general, because I'm getting my two cats, Maestro and Rozz, back from my mom. She was going to keep them pretty much forever, but then the silly woman is getting rid of her apartment/condo thingy...To live with my dad?!? They are not together or anything - she and my sister Charlie are simply going to live in my dad's house because mom is stupid with money. I can already see this situation being a bit awkward, if not downright weird...But whatever. I can't worry about it.

So anyways yes, I get my cats! I just don't know how they are going to react to Zero's cats. Only time will tell.

Other than that the only new news is that I'm getting a different run on the trains. I'll be going to Carbondale, IL and Port Huron, MI. Not the greatest of runs, however, I'll get Sundays and Mondays off. It will be sort of like having a "regular" job, since I'll be working the same days and having the same days off. If I DON'T end up liking it, national bids come up on October so I'd only have to work it for two months or so. The reason I'm doing this is for Rocky Horror -- so I can be there every Saturday night. I'll come home from the last trip on Saturday around 1pm or so, so I can take a nap after getting home from work if I'm uber-tired and BAM! Rocky! Yay!

I'm still playing Frank at Rocky - and oddly enough we have FOUR Franks now! We just got a new guy (who is straight too - amazing!) who wants to be Frank. Since I can be at Rocky now every Saturday, I may start to play Magenta or Janet. I'd prefer Janet, but they need both :x And everyone keeps pushing me to be Magenta, they think I'd be great. I think its the hair, since its longer and red now XD
