Because Oklahoma sucks.



We've been in Oklahoma for almost a year. Going on the 10th month. eep.
In 3 weeks (3 weeks and 3 days, actually) we are moving. And Im not too entirely sure where to.



This past year has been a giant blender of depression, frustration, helplessness and uncertainty.
-we- got ourselves into this mess, if anything, I know I did. But it's so hard to find a way out..

Our situation was/is this: I boobooed. I quit my job, leaving us homeless and jobless.
His parents took us in, and that's where we've been ever since. Trying to work towards a secure job
(ZOMG I ACTUALLY WORKED AT SHITMCDONALDSEWW...for 2 hours), and eventually find somewhere else
to move. Originally we wanted to just save up a couple thousand and move to a more friendly and exciting state.



Oklahoma is a stale cracker. Seriously. Nothing here. And they don't want you here either.

Then we decided that we might want to stay here, get some security, save up some more and then move on.

Didn't work. Once we both found a well paying, -good- job at the Claremore Nursing Home, we started looking.
For 4 fucking weeks we looked, and looked, and prayed for an apartment/house/room/etc.

Nothing.

Oh, sure there are places for rent, maybe 5. Most apartment complexes are full here, or the vacant rooms have a growing list of applicants that beat us to it. Or they don't like the looks of us. Or we smell. Something...

Maybe they know we aren't true home grown Sooners.. (I think that's what they call the natives.)

I got to talk to my brother the night before last and let him know what was going on in our life.
I tell you what, I've said "I just don't know what to do.." soo many times in the past 11 months.
And I wish I did. I mean, we moved somewhere safe, got jobs, but fuck if we can't finish the deal.
So anywho..my brother -said- he is going to ship us to Washington. He wants to purchase a house in the near future in the state and we have expressed interest in living in the state of Washington.
Plus he has more money than we do, and apparently wants to help.


I'm trying very hard not to get excited, or get my hopes up.

When we were waiting for our last hope-apartment, finding out that it was unattainable by us...it was too much of a blow. Leaving us depressed and sick to our stomachs.
You may laugh, but you don't realize how desperate we are right now.
We've even talked about hopping on our bikes and just going..

But that's the last resort. If my brother doesn't pull through, Michael is sending me off to Indiana on the bus and (he said) he's walking to Indiana...from Oklahoma...hmm..no!
This will give me time to try and get a job, apartment, etc.
I am soo not happy with that idea.


Hmm.


I just want something stable. Something normal, if you will. So we can savor our smiles together. Instead of losing them an instant later. I want a place to make beautiful and call home. And no matter what, we will get it.


No matter how many times we have to reach.






Proof that Oklahoma is the shit. And not the good kind of shit, but the shit with corn and chunks of burritos.

From The Lamest States;
#4: Oklahoma.
I bet you thought since I mentioned this in the introduction, it was going to be number 1. Well, as I mentioned I have never been there, so I cannot accurately judge its status as lame. However, I can find no reason to go there, and that is lame in and of itself. Oklahoma is famous for the “Dustbowl” and the “Trail of Tears”. I would cry to if I was made to march for months, only to be stuck in Oklahoma."

And look! There's even a t-shirt from strihs.com saying so!






Now photo yumminess for happy times!




Ah yeah, if it's possible to play too much wow..I've done it. We've done it.
My Troll Mage, Talah, has hit 63. After a week gaining 5 levels in the Outlands, I dropped her and took up a little Undead Priest and am busying myself with her.<3

What do you do when someone you love is sick, slowly pushing you off the bed with his legs and has taken all the good pillows?


Absolutely nothing at all.



My sickly sickly symptoms:

Swollen feeling head/throat
Aching head/throat/every major muscle in my body


I know Michael is feeling worse, last night he was sweating with a terrible fever and shaking -_-


It was all my idea..
Actually, last week I made a comment that someone should make a WoW movie, what do they have?

Millions or billions of current MMORPG subscribers x movie ticket and merchandise = $



FOR TEH HORDZ!!!!!!!!!
Awesomely craptacular!

Michael and I are pretty bummed out today, his brother ran off with the laptop, giving us no way to play EVE.

We cry.


Seriously though, I am soo looking forward to us finding a place to move around here.
Away from the "why haven't you done any dishes?" and the rest of the nagging and junk that comes with family. heh.
So, Im going to try and get my taxes done today and then spend some time with my honey <3

I need more coffee, I know that will help.

here's a quick run down of what's happened in the past year and a half:
·girl gets managerial promotion at work
·girl revolves life around work, dropping everything else she loves doing for something she temporarily believed was worth more
·girl moves out of her parents house and on her own for the first time
·girl is having fun with this
·girl starts having less fun at work
·old friend and secret love gets back into contact with girl
·girl welcomes friend into her home, and makes him stay there
·friend and girl decide to share home and live happily..
·job becomes too much for girl and she quits, quite irresponsibly!
·friend (now referred to as boy) and girl move in with girl's sister..for two weeks
·boy and girl have no job, no where to go
·boy is sent back home to live with his family, by girls parents
·girl follows boy several weeks later
·girl takes on the adjustment, and what a hard adjustment it was, new family, new home, new way of living, no job, agh!
·girl and boy get jobs!
·girl decides she and her boy should go to south korea to teach engrish to kids
·girl ends her relationship with lj and turns to blogger
·girl changes her mind about south korea and comes back to lj, but under a new name

tonight (i say "tonight" because i'm working the night shift now, and thus morning becomes night to me), while searching for an image of a heart, which i planned on making a cute icon for valentines day, or just something cute, (must say that plan has left my head until now), i ran across the MoFA : The Museum of Food Anomalies!
It's really interesting, in a gross "i'm a oddly formed piece of fruit!" kind of way, like so:


diablo tomato!

raging pepper!


freaky. i discovered a heart shaped potato a few weeks ago, but according to the amount of heart/butt-shaped potato's already posted to MoFa, they aren't that rare.
<3

adragoon and i are totally looking forward to tomorrow, maybe me more so than he. tomorrow? it's our first

payday!

this year, celebrate!
i promise to spend close to nothing on things we don't need right away. i believe most of our money is going towards keeping us fed up until the next pay rolls around.
exciting, yes!
moreso exciting is knowing that our belongings will be here by the beginning of march. i'll feel better with it here, and i michael will as well.
our computers, clothing, toys, books, oh my.

that's all for now, need more coffees!
