... that I've been too lazy to update on when they actually occured. But, no worries, I'll give you a run down here today.

Still working at Super-K, unfortunately, with no luck on finding a "good" job possibly in my field. The living situation is becoming a tad bit more worrisome. We may/may not have a place to live come the middle of the month. Friend of my father owns an apartment complex and has an open room and one that may become open by the middle of the month. The one open room he's already promised to this asian couple, who haven't gotten back in touch with him for awhile and he can't get in touch with. That would usually procure the room for us, but aparently there was this elderly woman ahead of us in the standings too and he was about to give the room to her, but then she became seriously ill and needed to be hospitalized and canceled on moving in there. So we have a really good shot... I hope *knocks on wood*. Even if we don't get THAT room, he's promised us this woman in another room is moving out to own a house, and she's suppose to be out by the middle of the month, BUT she hasn't given him an exactly time-line and she's still lingering around. It's not quite the middle of the month yet, I know, but with the lease on this place letting up on the 31st of this month... I can't help but worry.

Also... on Friday (7/7/06), I did something I NEVER thought I would ever do. Believe me, it's something I never WANTED to do, and I'm still a little depressed about. I went to a salon and got my hair cut. She took off all 14 inches of my pony tail and cut my hair even smaller. I wanted her to go somewhere between collar to shoulder length, and I feel she cut it too short. Nothing against the girl who cut my hair... as far as short hair goes, it looks okay (I guess, seeing as everyone's been telling me that). I just miss my long hair. No more pony tail, no more braiding, no more brushing out the snarls. *sighs* "If you hate it so much, Uma, why'd you do it?" Well, my few interviews I did get, they all asked me if I was willing to cut my hair. Aparently, potential employers don't like to consider a man with long hair for employment. They see me as some weird "hippy" or "rebel" or some shit like that. Eh... u_u Stupid ignorant people and their shallow social norms.
I'll have to post some pictures sometime.

Last thing I wanna chat about is something that happened on the fourth of July. Cindy, her brother Craig, and I went down to her parents house to visit and go to the place they hold the Carrol county fair to see fireworks. Most the day was spent with Craig and I totally geeking out over Animal Crossing for the DS (as we both had a copy and linked up via Wi-Fi). Poor Cindy was getting a headache cause we geeked out, well, rather loudly in the car. At the fireworks, I got to cuddle up to Cindy on a blanket on the ground and watch fireworks all close and happy like... trying pathetically to make it up to her for giving her a headache. It was a nice fireworks show (as we were VERY close to where they shot off the fireworks and they looked so close). On the way home, though, I kept feeling my crotch region vibrating once every minute or two. I ignored it for awhile till it started bothering me. Checking my pocket, I remember "OH yeah! I have a cellphone now." and it was vibrating to tell me I had a missed call and a voice mail. Not going to tell you who it was from, cause I know he doesn't like to be put on the spot, but it was from someone that I was REALLY happy to hear from. Calling to wish Cindy and I a happy fourth and to make sure we were okay and things were hopefully a little better for us after what I wrote in my last journal entry about our lives. That sent such wonderful warm fuzzies all through me! ^-^ That there was someone out there that cared about us. That was thoughtful enough to even pick up the phone and try and check in on us and how we were doing. One couldn't ask for a better friend *BIG happy hugs of happiness and warm fuzziness* xP Kinda upset with myself as I've never called him back... Gonna have to do that soon, if not e-mail (as my phone is one of those "Pay per minute" types).
