So, my awesome twin sister of awesomeness did something extraspecially awesome for me today, she got me a front row ticket to see Rent at the Orange County Performing Arts Center where two of the original broadway cast members will be performing, I'm so excited!
In other news, I quit my job at the Haunt the first weekend, I was really good at it, and it was really a lot of fun, for about an hour or two. Physically, I'm just not able to do that to myself night after night 5 days a week, especially with teaching during the day. It was just really hard on my body, I was in physical pain and was miserable, and when I twisted my ankle from chasing a guest, I was just done. I had chest pains from the fake fog, sweat funneled directly into my eyes from my mask, and my body just hurt from running around on concrete for several hours. Not to mention what my great growling and screaming did to my voice the next day. It was totally worth the shot, and after having no work all summer and not being able to pay rent last month, the extra paycheck was tempting, but the pain wasn't worth it. I hated having to give up something I worked really hard and auditioned my ass off for, but I have to realize I'm not a crazy teenager with unlimited energy anymore, unfortunately.
Teaching is kicking ass though, I've been running my own classroom since the first day of school, as a long term sub for a teacher who had a baby right before school started, and she just extended her leave til Xmas break so that is a few more months of regular work for me til I go back to waiting from day to day for my next sub job, as I continue the search for that first real teaching job.
Now, to plan for my October, now that I won't be busy every freaking night every freaking weekend like I thought I would be, I have to think about stuff like costumes, parties, and hitting as many scary events as I can. This is so my favorite time of the year. |

Today, I checked the mail hoping all of my stresses over paying rent would be done, that both of the checks I was expecting would magically be there and all would be well with the world...
Yeah, not so much.
The school district that I work for LOST my time card, so no check for me for any of the days I subbed for over the summer. I went into the office to find out why my check hadn't come in since payday was the 1st and they said that they didn't have my time card. Even though they had the days in the computer that I worked, no time card apparently equals no pay check. I know I physically gave it to them last month because I did it on a day I had to talk to them about problems with my last check and a day of pay not ending up on it like it was supposed to. They refuse to admit fault at the missing time card and the most they offered to do is to tack it onto my check that I get next month if I can show them my copy of the card, which I went in to do only to have the office closed, about 20 minutes before they were supposed to be closed. Argh!
My other check was supposed to be in last week from EDD for my unemployment, since I only worked a couple of days this entire summer. I can't get through to an actual person to find out what happened to that check, just an automated system telling me when the last check was processed for me, which was on the 7th. Argh!
So my options now are barrow money from someone, hope that people I have loaned money to can magically pay me back soon, get money from a payday loan place, or hope that my brother in construction gets some work this weekend that I can help him out with.
I'm pretty screwed financially, this sucks, and I'm stressed. And it's hot, and I'm sick, and I have a list of other issues and ailments that I will refrain from venting about at the moment that are making me feel like a total near tears mess.
Today is more than just fired, today can bite my ass. |

So today I auditioned for the first time at Knott's and I fucking rocked their socks! I am going to be a street monster in the Gauntlet. I guess most newbies have to work mazes first or something but I kicked butt. The whole thing took over 12 hours of my day, I'm exhausted, want a drink, a bubble bath, and sleep so very badly. |

| Yeah, I know, I know, when's the last time we heard something good from this gal... |

...but I have been busy, and happily distracted from dwelling on anything long enough to write about. I have been having a great year, and a fabulous summer, despite still not finding a permanent job and being broke more often than not, I've had fun. The past six months have been a blur of smiles, mostly due to Mikey, but also thanks to a wonderful sister who has helped me through a lot and has helped me to just relax and enjoy life for a while instead of stressing about the small stuff, and the fun stuff, which I tend to do so often.
This Monday I shall join the masses auditioning to be monsters at Knotts, it just sounds like fun, and works around my work schedule, when I actually have work, and I'm itching to do some performing lately.
I also want to do something active, I need to get out more and do more stuff that gets me off my butt, which I fear is getting bigger and bigger. I want to lose weight, I want to get into shape, but I realize that I really have no idea how to start, what will work for me, and what to do as far as dieting. Dating a guy who gets free movie rentals leads to lots and lots of sitting around, and eating the way he eats is really not healthy, so I have got to get myself out of that routine, it's getting motivated and started that I seem to suck at.
I realize that I need to win lots and lots of money to create some fabulous costumes from the ideas forming in my brain. After going to the Labrynth Masquarade Ball and Comic Con, I am totally itching to create some steampunk fabulousness.
I really need someone to just hire me already. It's such a bad time to try to be a teacher. I will be subbing again once the school year starts unless I hear from one of the many many districts I have applied for before then.
I need to also take the time to quiet my mind and do some writing, I have a play that I have been working on, and really need to take the time to finish it. I hate being so easily distracted with fun stuff, I haven't even been reading lately and have a list of stuff I want to get through before the school year starts back up.
My sister is visiting in a couple of weeks, and that will be a whirlwind of insanity to say the least, and I am just going along for the ride. She lives in Reno with her son, plans to drive out on the 20th for the weekend, then drive back to Reno for her son's performance on that Monday, and then come back to California and hang out at the beach with me and so fun stuff til the 30th, getting her and her son back in time for him to start school on the 31st.
So there is me in a nutshell lately, thanks for reading, didn't feel like trying to fit all of that is a facebook update. I know it seems like Misty got an awesome new boyfriend and was never heard from again, but I'm still here :) |

I drive a lot, my sister and my boyfriend both live about an hour away from me, but my sister doesn't drive at all, so that cancels things out, right?
I used to buy lots of pre-packaged stuff for my lunches at work, creating lots of waste, but have been getting out of that habit because making food at home and putting it in reusable containers is just cheaper.
Fast food and on-the-go drinks create more waste for the environment, not to mention eating meat destroys the environment as well because of what it takes to feed the animals I eat.
I don't recycle like I should, if I recycled paper from when I was going to school, and even student teaching, that would have been good, but I was lazy. I seem to be lazy about a lot of things. |

| Crazy Weekend |
[Jun. 7th, 2009|11:16 pm] |
I had my boyfriends kick ass birthday party last night, we put a lot of time, effort, and money into this one and it all went amazingly well. I went to bed at 4:30 in the morning and there were still people up and partying, it was awesome.
Tonight I went to a memorial service for a friend. It was a huge shock, he was so young and his death so sudden. It was one of those things that really make me want to stop putting off calling all of my friends who I suck at keeping in touch with most of the time and call everyone I know every day just to say hi, because you never know.
And now my drunk ass should stop drunk posting, and probably go to bed. I'll probably stop by facebook and myspace first, but then, it's so sleepy time for the Misty. |

Tonight was my last dance class, I have been taking a couples social dance class over the past few months and have learned swing, tango, cha cha, rhumba, waltz and the foxtrot, it has been very fun and am sorry to see it end. I have one private lesson tomorrow and then have to figure out when and if I will take another class over the summer.
Yay summer, one would think that being a teacher I look forward to having my summer free, yeah, not so much. I get a daily countdown of how many days I have before being unemployed again, not really looking forward for that. I have been asked back for the next school year, it's just figuring out how to pay for life between now and then.
Faire is over and done with, and I am ok with that. I think I might actually take a year off next year or just do a few weekends of it, I think with everything else going on in my life lately, I really overdid it these past few months to the point of exhaustion and anxiety attacks. I'm ten times better now that things have calmed down a bit though.
Now my focus is putting together a kick ass birthday party for my boyfriend in the next couple of weeks. We are going to Disneyland on his actual birthday on June 4th and his Dark Fairytales themed birthday party is on June 6th if anyone is interested in joining us for either. I still need to figure out a costume for that, and for each night of the Labrynth Masquarade Ball, and for ComicCon, and for Pyrate Daze in September. I really need to have endless amounts of money, or to own a sewing machine so I can put together some neat stuff on my own.
I really should be sleeping, but I'm all wired up for some reason with fifty billion things going on in my head, unable to relax really. I need something to help me sleep... |

I haven't posted in a while, I guess I wasn't sure what to post about, and for a while there I have been trying not to put my personal life all over the intarwebs because it was filled with suck for a little while there. Everything is really groovy in my life right now, so I think now is the time to share a little. In a nutshell, work rocks and is keeping me super busy during the week, ren faire has me very excited and it was so nice to see everyone last weekend, and I have a wonderful new boyfriend, who treats me amazingly well and makes me very happy. It's funny how life can throw ya for a loop and nothing ends up how you expected or planned, but in an awesome kind of way.
So I will be insanely busy for the next few months with work all week and ren faire on the weekends, although I do have random days where I don't get called in, but lately those are thankfully few and far between and usually very last minute. I have some afternoons free during the week and I'm amazed how quickly those have been going away too. I love being so busy! I just wish I felt more energetic to enjoy it more, I have been more tired than I would like to be lately and don't want to go back to relying on living a completely caffeinated existence again. |

As a teacher, I think it is a bit on the detrimental side when it comes to behavior in the classroom, cell phones, ipods and PS2s are such an annoying distraction to trying to teach but for adults, I don't think it's quite as bad, as long as they aren't trying to drive while messing with their phone, it's all good. |

... that makes me so effing lazy. I only had three hours of work today so I had my entire day to do stuff around the house, clean out my car, ya know, general life repair that gets ignored when I'm busy throughout the week, but what do I do? Make some coffee with some hot cocoa powder in it and curl up in front of the TV and computer for the entire afternoon. |
