Okay, lets try this again. Haven't touched this in forever mostly due to laziness and partly because so much has happened how do you catch it all up? That and time goes by so fast it's tough to get a handle on everything which leaves me kind of..confused.
And i'm not as open as I used to be, but that could be the new understatement of the year. To some degree i've become kind of antisocial, lost contact with quite a few people and have only recently begun to try and fix that. Well no, i'd like to fix that, but haven't made much of an effort to. At least I can admit it though, i'm some ways i've been lonely. I don't have any good girl friends anymore really, and i'm starting to miss that. I just find a lot of girls hard to tolerate lately.
One good thing was that we finally moved out of Macedon, that area is just awful. We're in ER now right on one of the main streets and i'm pretty content with it. The house is big, there's a lot going on, and our neighbors are pretty cool. Added an Akita puppy to the house a few months ago which is working out well, both dogs get along and for the most part are very well behaved, so it's nice.
Been playing a lot of WoW..
Still pretty pleased with my job, though i've been trudging through the schoolwork for my vet tech course. Been seriously reconsidering the program and may move on to behavior instead. I think I may enjoy it more and it's less demanding as far as studying goes. I just don't know if you can make a full time job out of that. Who knows.
Other than that I don't know what else to write, everything else is pretty..off limits for now?
But hey, at ;east it's an update.

Your result for Howard Gardner's Eight Types of Intelligence Test...
Spatial22% Logical, 55% Spatial, 31% Linguistic, 31% Intrapersonal, 4% Interpersonal, 39% Musical, 6% Bodily-Kinesthetic and 51% Naturalistic! 
"This area has to do with vision and spatial judgment. People with strong visual-spatial intelligence are typically very good at visualizing and mentally manipulating objects. They have a strong visual memory and are often artistically inclined. Those with visual-spatial intelligence also generally have a very good sense of direction and may also have very good hand-eye coordination, although this is normally seen as a characteristic of the bodily-kinesthetic intelligence.
Careers which suit those with this intelligence include artists, engineers, and architects." (Wikipedia)

Not to be an ass but nothing annoys me more than when an American company outsources their technical support to India. I spent a good portion of my night (drunk)and on the phone with Linksys trying to get my new router to work. It would have gone SO much faster if we could have understood each other for christ sakes.

The past few days have been crazy, so i'm just going to sum them up quick.
- Psycho bitch showed up on wednesday and started harassing us again, wanting money and threatening with immigration and everything again. so we packed everything up and by wednesday night we had moved out and are now staying temporarily with my aunt.
- Thursday I turned 20. yay.
And I guess that's about it.

Well, the past few days have certainly been interesting. The landlord has made it very clear that she's a psycho.
She showed up on the 30th and knocked on the door around 9:15am. Demanded money and when I told her I deducted her electric bill that I paid for her from the rent she flipped out and then said I owed her a $100 deposit for the electric. Um, what? So she threw a hissyfit and said if we weren't out by the 31st at midnight she'd have my wages garnished (wtf?) and she'd call immigration on us. Nevermind that he's here legally.
So I called an attorney. He basically just repeated what everyone had told us, so I knew we were good to go.
Afterward I tried to give her the rent and she refused it with the thought that we could still get kicked out. Wrong! Continued to threaten us with customs and I called the lawyer back and told him, he said what she was doing was extortion and not only is it illegal but you can sue if there are damages. Sweet.
She went over to our mutual friend's house (the 95 year old woman) and told her how she wanted to move her father and son back into the house - so that explains the bogus eviction. Cool. She flaunted the fact that she has a lawyer and when Mrs. Vanbortle told her I had one too again she threw a fit. She's very mature like that.
So yesterday evening she was in and out of the basement and we kept hearing a series of noises that sounded like hammering. Maybe she's building an ark? Who knows. After she left again we peeked through the crack of the basement door in the kitchen and found she had sloppily boarded up the doorway. Again, wtf?
Didn't sleep well last night because I was anxious for what might happen at midnight, or anytime the next morning since it's the first of the month. We keep an air conditioner going all night and at around 4:40 this morning it stopped. She turned off the fucking electricity! Then she hopped in her car and took off, and we haven't seen or heard from her since.
The funny part is we immediately called the police and they came over, went down into the basement (which was FILTHY) and turned the power back on, after saying a few choice words about the landlord and her lack of cleaning skills. So she really hung herself now.
Score a billion for us. It's funny because we don't even wanna be here, we're looking to move and she's just making an ass of herself.

Been a long, long time since I last bothered with this journal. Quite a bit has happened and the majority of it I guess is not so good.
For starters we ended up getting a second dog and while a puppy wasn't something we wanted we ended up with a 5 month old Blue Heeler. She's the ultimate test in patience but she's damn cute, and as much as I don't want to admit it at times i'm pretty attached to the little shit.
( Exhibit A. )
And in less adorable news it looks like we'll have to find another place to live because the "landlord" is a complete and utter lunatic. To make a long and ridiculous story short after waiting over two weeks for her to contact me so I can pay the rent she called and said instead of the $400 for the month that I had to pay $800, half of which went to this guy for mowing the lawn. The fucking lawn. Mind you from day one I told her I wasn't paying some guy to mow it for that much and that i'd figure something out, so when I reminded her of that her first response was "well your boyfriend said to keep the guy", and when that didn't work she then accused my mother of giving her the go ahead. Bullshit. So what turned into a screaming match via telephone between my mom and this..lady ultimately ended in us being given until August first to get the hell out. After the initial freakout i've found it it's pretty difficult to evict someone so it's nice to know we have more than two weeks to find a dog friendly place.
Stressed because now we have to find a place to live that will not only allow one dog, but two. Because I need more stress in life, god knows I didn't have enough before this. I'm ready to pull out my hair and scream in frustration. We just fucking moved in and how we gotta pack it all up again. What a disgusting pig of a human being. I've never been more repulsed. It's to the point now where I just expect everything to go horribly wrong, i'm usually right then.
So hey, i'm open to any suggestions on affordable dog friendly apartments. And maybe a good psychiatrist, at this rate I may just need one.

Moved in and everything last friday and the house is really nice and all but fuck..wasn't in the cleanest condition. We still have a few things that need to be cleaned up and she said she'd try to come up this weekend to clean up the rest of the shit she left, but I don't have much faith in that, and i'd rather her not be here, either. We've got more space (and bedrooms) than we know what to do with but it's nice to have an actual house as compared to a cramped one bedroom apartment. A big improvement.
On a mostly unrelated note I must say that i'm ecstatic to hear that Paris Hilton's skanky ass is going back to jail. She got to go home because she was depressed? Who the hell isn't when they go to jail? I sure as hell would be.
Anyway. Things are alright except for the whole working two jobs deal. Martins is the bane of my existance and i'm looking forward to the day when I can tell them all to fuck off. Shouldn't be much longer now. It's just beyond me how people can get so worked up over lunch meat. So your turkey weighs .51 instead of .50, it's a fraction of a cent difference and it won't make you any fatter than you already are now. I'm finding it increasingly difficult to bite my tongue with some of the winners we get there. If the thickness of the cheese going on your sandwich is your only major worry of the day then I really, truly envy you. Just eat it and shut the hell up.
I find myself feeling much more calm and collected being in a new house, with few worries and much less stress than i've been used to lately. At least anything that could or should bother me is being surpressed for now..it's about time things got better.
As usual i'm pretty incapable of updating this thing. And I think the dog farted. Lovely.

Another quick update of sorts.
Looks like we'll be moving into the house by the 1st, which is super exciting. The people are coming this weekend to clean it up and stuff and we could have the key as soon as the middle of next week. Annnd now that i'm working two jobs we'll have the money by the time we need to move in and everything, so that's set and i'm happy 'bout that.
I love my new job, very glad to be back into stuff like that.
The family got a new puppy, she's on a "trial basis" but i'm pretty sure she's staying. She's a yorkiepoo which doesn't sound too appealing but she's actually super adorable (big fluffy yorkie ears!) and pretty well behaved, so I won't feel too bad about taking teh harz to the new house. I'll have to take pictures sometime.
So things are still going pretty good, excited for the move, it'll be nice to have our own place again.

Figure it's about time I update this thing and while I was quite discouraged and fed up with life's current events things seem to have taken a turn for the better, today in particular.
It looks as if our apartment issue may be over. We'll (hopefully) be renting a 4 bedroom house in fairport. Much more room than we've ever dreamed or expected, but for $400 a month you really can't go wrong at all. Got the phone call about it today, went and checked it out and after sitting down with the lady that owns the house and discussing our situation we agreed on a $100 deposit (!!!). I'm very excited about that, that's sooo much space and it's got a big yard and everything, doesn't seem right for someone our age to be moving into something like that, but no complaints here. That won't be until June I think, but at least the going's good until then.
Then shortly after receiving that lovely news I got a phone call from Storybook, who after 3 weeks of interviews decided to go and hire someone else. Well. They wanted to know if I wanted to work there, starting whenever. Awesome, since i'm really starting to detest my current job..especially since they're cutting hours since OMG they opened a wal-mart a million miles away and some people may wanna shop there instead. So i'm done there and can go back to veterinary stuff, yay.
So there's a pretty simple recap of what's new I guess. I have to get up early for work and I don't see that happening just yet.

I haven't bothered with an actual entry in ages, haven't really had the time or will to..but I suppose i'm due. I'll recap a tiny bit, maybe.
We're both in NY, i've got a temporary job until I can find something more steady and..exciting I guess. May actually be getting back into the hospital stuff, which i'd be very, very grateful for. Looking into apartments and having a hard time finding ones that are both reasonable and in a nice part of town/city/whatever. Have a few options for that whole immigration thing so that's not completely hopeless. So we're pretty much working on starting over here, and it's proving to be a lot of work for the most part, though not impossible.
But anyway, was kinda helped along to update because I felt the need to vent. Some people really, really need to grow up. I'm so sick of the arrogant and ignorant attitudes that some people have had lately. Apparently the phrase 'live and let live' doesn't hold enough weight or meaning with some people and they feel the need to remind everyone how much better they are and how unfortunate everyone else is for not treading in the same tracks. To add insult to injury when faced with a bit of opposition (and not entirely hostile, either) they feel the need to cover one side while keeping theirs out in the open for everyone to see. Not only does it look weird and lopsided but it's an insecure way of making someone else look bad. I'm not saying i'm without faults and everything but i'm not flaunting the fact that everyone is worse off than me, either. I guess i'm just having one of those 'people in glass houses' moments. Apparently i'm also big on phrases today.
On another note..it's pretty bad when I see the fahrenheit temperatures now and have to convert them to celsius to determine how cold it is. It shouldn't be cold here anyway, damnit.
