So tomorrow I believe I'll head over to Chicago Inksters and feel the place out and see how much they want to charge me for some pieces
Right now, I has a headache. Its bed time.
Dear Lord how did I ever stay away...

So in the midst of me moving to Florida I let my IAM expire.
Once I got down here I spent about 4 months trying to find a job (to no avail) so I had no money to renew it.
Now I do... so I did.
Hmm...
I've been down here for 7 months... and I absolutely HATE it here.
There's no work to be found. I'm lucky I got a job at all. I get 2 shifts a week at Cracker Barrel... which totals about $150 in earnings a week. That's just a bit less than the $700 a week I was earning in NJ.
Things with school got really fucked. They wouldn't accept me as an in state student... so they wanted to charge me $250 per credit... at a community college... needless to say I can't afford that.
Chris's job cut his hours practically in half... so he can barely afford his mortgage now, and he can't afford any of his credit cards. So he's going to be moving back in with his parents and renting the house out to make up the difference...
SO!
I'm moving back to NJ.
And eventually Chris is going to follow suit, since he can make double what he's paid here doing the same job.
I'm enrolled in classes at Bergen County for the fall, and if all goes as planned I'll still be able to have my RN license by 2011. I just have to put my ass in gear and barrel through it.
All in all I'm glad I came down here. It was a life experience... but I'm happier to be going home. Jersey girls just don't belong in Florida. Or, at least, THIS Jersey girl doesn't.
There are very few people down here to understand my humor. Even less people who can appreciate body mods. It's very... vanilla... here.
Although I did find a tattoo/piercing shop that looks legit and clean. They do microdermals... so I'm considering getting a token to remember Florida by.
Chris also wants to get tattoos together.
Not matching... because we both don't really like the idea of that... but rather he'll get what he wants and I'll get what I want and we'll just go together to get them, as like, a bonding thing.
It'll be his first piece of ink... so I'm excited.
I mean, obviously I love him without the ink... but I'm hoping to bring him to the dark side a little. ;)
I've also got suspensions on the brain again.
Maybe something I'd like to do without Chris there, because I'm not sure he'd really be able to handle seeing it. Who knows. I'll run it by him. Maybe he would like to see it.
Anyway, I'm babbling.
I'm gonna go unwind on the couch for a while.
Chris and I were talking about it and we know we could make the long distance thing work... but if we don't have to... why torture ourselves?
That being said this isn't solely based on my boyfriend being down there... although it is a nice perk.
It's much more thought through and planned out then "Hey I'm gonna move 1000 miles from home to live with my boyfriend wooooo!"
There's a school about 5 minutes from Chris's house that offers two and four year degrees. They have a nursing program that I'm very interested in. I already applied. I'm planning on going for the RN program, which should take me about two years to complete... and I'll work part time at night and live with Chris til I get my degree.
After that obviously I'll get a job as an RN... hopefully at a local trauma center because I think I'd be bored in a doctor's office... plus the trauma stuff is what interests me really.
After that I'm going to look into schools that have a Physician's Assistant program. I'll work full time and go to school part time til I complete my PA degree...
After that... it's home sweet home.
Or hell maybe I'll look for schools with a PA program up here and come back right after I get my RN.
I don't plan on staying in Florida, that's for sure... and Chris, being from NJ, really wants to move home anyway. He's just not in a position right now where he can with the economy the way it is and him owning a house and all.
So, since I need to get out of here for a while and get my life back on track... this works out really well.
By the time I'm done with school and on my feet, he'll hopefully be in a better position to sell the house, I'll be able to get a job that more than supports me, and we'll both be able to move back home and live comfortably.
At least that's the plan.
Right now I've done all the paperwork and such that I need to for school, so it's a matter of waiting on their reply. I've also more than started the job search, although that's going to be easier once I'm down there. I've told friends and family (possibly the hardest part of this all). I've set up my budget for the holidays so that I know how much money I will have saved up by the end of January. So, as long as I stick to the budget and plan accordingly I should have enough money saved and all my ducks in a row by the end of January... which means early February I'm out of here.
Oh, also, if I can squeeze it into the budget as "Christmas Gift to Myself" I'm either getting more ink OR some microdermals.
I'd like to get some more ink... probably something Jersey related and all cas I'm queer like that.
I'll figure it out.
Right now I'm just excited. Life is coming together. I actually look forward to getting up every day.
I think I have a boyfriend... kinda...
Well, I have a boy, who makes me incredibly happy, who I love spending time with... but he kinda sorta lives in Florida... but we kinda sorta seem to be planning on visiting each other once a month until the living situation changes... so I guess I have a long distance boyfriend?
Meh.
He's pretty much me... with a penis... minus the mods
He's not really crazy about mods... but he doesn't have any issues with mine... so it's kosher.
I'm crazy about him... which is kinda a strange turn of events for me...
Not quite sure what's gonna happen yet, but I think the change in the living situation is going to be me moving to FL for a little while until we can both afford to move back up to NJ together... but we'll see. It's not gonna happen over night. I'd need to find work down there first.
Other than that... my job is driving me crazy, my family is driving me crazy, my friends are still awesome... and life's not too bad.
Oh, also... dyed my hair burgandy again...
It looks fucking hot.
AND! I joined a gym... so I can get my fat ass back in shape.
