Jul. 21st, 2007 12:10 amWell, I've been nudged by 
Karlita. I'm actually quite honored by this, although I haven't much of substance to say, and the only thing of substance I might say would end up being in my "secret" journal.
So, I'll just give the basic update and go from there.
I'm kindasorta still in the middle of the Harry Potter obsession. I say kindasortsa 'cause I finished the first 6 books a few days ago, so there hasn't been much to obsess about. In the meantime, I got behind on LJ again, and I'm inclined not to try to catch up now, 'cause I hear there are already spoilers on my friendslist, so I'll just wait.
I had actually been planning on going to the Harry Potter party at the Edgewood Barnes and Noble. I had the perfect opportunity, as my boss is out of town for the weekend, so I have nights off for a change, but my sleep dep caught up with me, and I found myself unable to stay awake, so I crawled into bed and just woke up recently. At this point, going there would be a misery-loves-company kinda thing. Luckily, I've got the bestest husband in the whole world, and
BlckwngdOrcl has agreed to go with me when he's done with his CoX mission. This is just as well, 'cause it gives me time to write this, as well as hopefully gets us there after the midnight rush. I figure I'll spend all day tomorrow reading it. Ah, a life of slack. (I wish.)
I'm still tired/groggy. I feel like I've gotten less sleep than usual lately, which is saying something for me. It could also be that the current obsession is making me slack off on other things, so I'm feeling not-so-accomplished in my life, and it's draining me.
I'm still debating on the job thing. I saw on the news that Gwinnett County Schools are desperate for teachers, especially special education teachers - so much so that they're waiving certain criteria. I'm pretty sure you only need a bachelor's degree of some sort to be able to get a certificate, and I have so much experience in developmental disabilities, I think I could totally pull it off. I'm a little put off by what seems to be a pain-in-the-ass process, though. I'm also worried about being given the days off I need for my own classes, which are very important to me. The pay is really good, though...
Not much else going on, really. I'm having the strange experience of flirting with someone from Classmates.com. I haven't seen him since fifth grade, but he contacted me via the service, and we started chatting. I suppose the most surreal part of it was when we started the flirting thing, and he sent me a picture of himself in drag, performing fellatio. No big deal, right? Except that, in that profile shot, I could quite clearly see in him the same face I remembered from fifth grade, and that was a bit disconcerting. I wonder if I look anything like my old pictures. I don't have a scanner, so I can't ask the opinion of all you fine readers, but it would be interesting.
We're still planning on moving to Illinois in two years, after I finish my Core classes. It's starting to be a bit intimidating to think about it. For one thing, I definitely want to be doing the animal communication full-time by then. (I haven't forgotten those of you who sent pics, by the way.) That still entails some work on my part. We definitely have plans to live off-the-grid, but we'll likely have to do an apartment first, 'cause we'll need a downpayment and such. I'd say more, and go into more detail, but the Beastie is ready to go.
Ciao!
