Well, first of all, I let Adam (Jordan's friend) know that Mikey is not welcome. Later on, I let Jordan and Marcus know. Later on, I let Mikey know. He had to be told what he had done that was so rude; couldn't figure out that not paying me, sneaking in without anyone's permission (Jordan didn't even know that the guy had come in), sneaking his girlfriend in, then being dismissive with me was all rude.
I also mentioned, as I left, to go to Roberta's, that if Adam shows up, tell him my new policy is that if someone wants to spend the night, they need to have $10 in their hand. Asked Jordan and Marcus to do 3 (Jordan says 4 things). Out of the 4, 2 got done; out of the 3, 1 got done. The easiest bits, of course. But, at least it was something.
Adam showed up, about midway through the "Jordan says" bit of the sentence above, too. He says he has $10 for me, but, he has to break it.
And, now, I think I shall .. hmm .. maybe go to bed; maybe, dream a while.

(sigh)
I came home last night to find Adam (Jordan's friend) laying on the floor in the back room. I told him he could go sleep in Erica's bed, but, he said he was fine there. Later on, I heard some coughing that sounded suspiciously like it was coming from the back bedroom.
This morning I heard the coughing some more and some of it was distinctly girly coughing. After a while, I heard the door open and I saw Mikey, one of Jordan's friends in the hallway. That is, I had heard him go into the hallway bathroom and I saw him when he came out. I told him "Come here." and he looked directly aft me, then he sort of waved his hand in a dismissive fashion as he walked away from me.
Now, the other night, I told him he could spend the night, with the understanding that he would pay me $10 the next day (which would have been yesterday)). We never discussed him spending the night again.
I don't like Mikey. For one thing, straight from the start, he was being less than honest and seeking advantages. To whit, he had his girlfriend hidden and did not mention her until after I agreed to let him spend the night.
I agreed to $10 for that one night, but, it's supposed to be $10 per night, per person, so he now owes me $30. If he had come to talk to me, I would have told him how it is going to be, if he is going to be here, but, since he did not come talk to me, but dismiissed me, ignored me, then snuck out, that's no longer an option.
I've told Adam that if he sees Mikey, tell him not to even come back here, and I explained a bit as to why. He said he'll tell him.
Right now, I could cheerfully chew Jordan's arm off for putting me in this position!
Last night, I rented the movie Ondine from Redbox, hoping hat it would have subtitles and it did - in Spanish; so, not entirely helpful. We could have just watched it on Netflix, then, and saved $1.09 for another time. Nevertheless, it was a good movie and I found Colin Farrell enormously attractive.
Yes, I realize to some of you, this is not news, for many people find Colin Farrell attractive. I, in general, am not one of them; but, then, he is often playing someone creepy. This time, he was playing a hard working man who loves his daughter and is kind to strangers. He was gorgeous!
Yesterday afternoon, I threw out most of my pill bottles, but, not the pills in them. I put them in plastic zip loc bags and stuck them in the freezer. Is it a good idea? I don't know. It is certainly a space saving idea.
Then, last night, I took the L-Arginine 500 mg/ L-Orthinine 250 mg capsules, two of them, before going to bed. I'm going to try to remember to keep doing that.
Jehovah has been helping me.
Anyway, I talked to Jordan's friends, yesterday, Marcus and Adam, who I keep wanting to call Paul for some reason, and they do both want to move in. Decided the best plan is to leave the Captain's bed in the living room, then put the couch in here, as well, with some chest-o-drawers. And, by living room, I meant dining room, but, now that I think about it, maybe they should be in the living room. Either that or I shall have to train everyone to come around to the side door. Hmmmm ....
This morning, after Mikey and everyone else left, I pulled Erica's bed out of the back bedroom. Need to hurry up and get stuff in there, and occupy it, me.

Life goes on ...
... and, so do we .. just how we do it is no mystery ...
Yesterday, I managed to find some designing shows on television (don't remember where, though), and, life was strange, in that I had a lot of viral problems and I wrote to my boss about it, but, she never replied to me and still hasn't. She got the work I did, and sent new work to me through the complete folder, but, no emails.
Hahhaha. I just wrote them this, and am going to stick it in the Complete folder. I hope this does not end in tears.

Story Bosses missing 9-28-2011
Under a set of mysterious circumstances, amidst clouds of suspicion, dining on speculation, our crack reporter, Arletta Sloan, discovered that the Editors and otherwise boss-like figures of the San Manuel Miner, if not the entire organization known as Central Pinal Publishing, have disappeared.
Having sent out numerous emails, which were not responded to, she retired for the night; but, working on a lead, which is the clue that the files have disappeared from the Complete folder, she began to consider the theory that news loving aliens from outer space had abducted them and were secretly stealing the files as she submitted them.
“Ahah!” she cried, for no apparent reason, before embarking on the task of writing really silly things in hopes of eliciting a response. “Zounds!” she continued. “You sneaky aliens give them back,” she finished with, “or I'll send Will Smith after you.”
On the off-chance that the aliens are allowing her boss or bosses to receive communication, Ms. Sloan submits this story through the (im)proper channels, and, asks that they be informed “My timesheet is for 7 hours and 50 minutes, total, for the last two weeks.”

Okay, life - I did some artwork today, but, have not read the Bible yet. There are two boys moving in, this week. I'm not sure if the fourth one thinks he is moving in or not.
I was going to write more interesting things, but, now I am not. xx

Red Bubble weirdness
Responding to this Red Bubble post, I commented:
Gaaa .. all my pipe dreams are far more simple. To have a job that could at least pay my bills, to meet a man who doesn’t want to kill me or use me for a sexy toy but actually likes me as a human being, to have people be polite enough not to smoke things right at me when it makes me ill and gain weight, to have someone to talk to and do things with, besides my sister – like a friend, to sell a modest amount of artwork or have modest publishing success. How do I do it? At this rate, I think it is by becoming someone else, altogether.
Alaska is beautiful. However, keep in mind some very important facts. Anchorage is not Alaska, and, now either is Fairbanks or Palmer. Too many Americans who were kicked out of America for being icky, so lots of thieves and brats.
Don’t hear “the people are friendly” and think it applies across the board. They will rob you blind, many of them, and some of them would just love to rape and shoot you. Too many tourists lose their luggage or bicycles or whatnot because they are disarmed by the small town atmosphere of the biggest city around.
Bears are not safe and either are moose – don’t squeal, don’t run, don’t bother spraying a grizzly with pepper spray or it will be pissed off and think you just spiced yourself.
And, whatever you do, do not ask any Natives if they are King Islanders, no matter how many people tell you they like to talk about it. I
That being said, the people are friendly. No, honest, they are. Most of them, outside of the cities, so long as you don’t walk into their yard uninvited.
Now, I fully expected to be lightly trounced for being a downer; but, what I did not expect was this:
Hi Arletta,
Thanks for taking an interest in my recent journal “Alaska here I come”. You certainly made some very valid points, however I have removed your comment as parts of it fell outside our Community Guidelines.
Kind regards
Rhana
RedBubble Community Manager
I asked her which part that is, but, she has yet to make a reply. In the meantime, I read everything on this page and found nothing that had anything to do with my comment.
- Really? Which part was that?
- You know what? Don’t even bother answering. You’d love to hear about the Alaskan experience of some stranger, but, a real Alaskan you insult and block, for allegedly breaking some rule they didn’t even break. I read them all and there was NOTHING about my comment, so it must have just been me.Goodbye
- Hi Arletta,Specifically the part where you said “They will rob you blind, many of them, and some of them would just love to rape and shoot you.” This falls outside our guidelines on personal attack.“A personal attack is where a member writes hurtful or insulting things about another member or makes personal remarks with the intention of hurting or upsetting them. Personal attacks can also include comments made about a group of members and names don’t have to be mentioned in order for behavior to be considered a personal attack.”RedBubble is a respectful, supportive and encouraging community of people, many of which are from America and Alaska.Kind regards

- I AM FROM ALASKA
- I was not personally attacking any specific group. I didn’t say “All Americans” and I definitely did not say “Alaskans” or a racial group I was talking about people who were kicked out of America and it was not a personal attack on them. If you knew anything about them, you’d know that most of them are quite proud of it. And, they will rob you, kill you or rape you. It’s a statistical fact of life, not an attack, to mention it. But, whatever. I’m not reading any more of your messages and I surely won’t be commenting on anything you have to say.Hope you have the good sense, while you are condemning me falsely, to at least keep the warning in your head, because it’s a dangerous place for people who are too politically correct to even mention the truth in public.Alaskans would not be in the least offended. I know.Goodbye.

Tired
I am tired of having pretty much nothing good in my life, tired of always there being something holding me back. If I find something I need, that I could get for free, then I can't get there to get it or with the right type of vehicle to pick it up.
So, I started posting on Craig's List, items wanted, asking for free items that people don't want any more, but, if they could deliver them. And, what I got was one nice person telling me to let them know more information and one creepy individual who cussed me out for asking for other people's discards.

Aftermath of babysitting
The day before yesterday (two yesterdays ago?), my nephew's girlfriend called to see if I could watch her son, tomorrow (now yesterday) while they (she and my nephew) went to a party I said yes.
Yesterday, she called to see if it would be alright for her son to spend the night, in the roundabout way of asking "If he falls asleep while he is over there, could we just pick him up in the morning." which everyone knows almost always means "We will be drinking and come home both drunk and tired, so watch the kid overnight, for his safety and the betterment of mankind." I said yes to that, as well.
Last night, they dropped the boy off, along with a movie, the X-Men First Class thing. Which is good, because, at first they were worried about having to pay an extra $1 if they turned it in late, but, they rethought what they were doing, presumably, and realized it is extremely chintzy to begrudge a free babysitter $1's worth of entertainment.
As soon as the boy was dropped off, I told him we were going to go get some candy. At first it was a joke, but, my daughter heard and was onboard with it. The thing is, the boy is never allowed candy or soda pop, because his mother says it makes him overactive. Well, as I found out last night, she was right. However, it was okay, as no one was particularly grumpy about it or expecting him to sit still. So, we watched the movie, while he cavorted. Sometimes he watched it on one chair, sometimes another, sometimes he climbed up to sit between my son and his friend, sometimes he put his arms in my hands so I could grab hold of him and he could struggle and pretend to break free.
There was a little defiance during his visit, a little punishment needed for threats to "kick my head off", and, oh yes, snatching my son's tobacco tray out of his hands and scattering things to the four winds. Nothing too bad, though, for an overactive boy in a house fairly strange to him.
They picked him up this morning, eventually, and I sent a box of Reese's Puff cereal with him. I had boughten several boxes, when I saw it on sale, under the mistaken belief that my son still likes it. He doesn't. My daughter does, but, she is leaving in about a week. I like it, okay, but, it is more like in place of candy than as food. So, I definitely need to do something with it.
On to my son's friend. He was a surprise. I had been hoping to talk to my son about him, yesterday, after I had been asked about the possibility of the guy spending the night, sometimes, the night before. Instead, my son disappeared all day, then, came home late, with his friend in tow.
Well, his friend spent the night, he didn't kill us in our sleep, and was, in fact, fairly polite. So, the deal as I understand it, which is that he would pay $10 per day to spend the night, whenever he comes to spend the night, is acceptable to me. That would pay for his food and water usage, while he is here. It's a good way to help him out, and, also to help us out. Plus, maybe a little bit of pleasant company.
Maybe I could even use the money as a down payment on those couches, if they are still around. Did I tell you about the couches?
When me and my son walked to cash my check, I discovered a great restaurant with cheap hamburgers and a beautiful set of couches, plus a coffee table that is lovely but which I could do without, in a nearby thrift store. I want them, but, they are $350 and even with their 90-day layaway policy, I couldn't afford them on my wages.
I don't know what I'd do, though. I mean, as far as my decorating ideas, I don't know what I'd do, because, the things I have will not go with the couches, so I will need different everything else, eventually, too, if I get those. lol
I am now watching "Hoarders", having finished with the one season, each, of "Dress My Nest" and "Clean House" that are on instant watch on Netflix. They are inspirational shows for me, giving me good ideas and also helping me feel more ready for action. It's the seeing how hard it is for the people who want to hold on to things because they want to use them someday, but, the some day never comes. That's me! I do that, so bad. I plan for the future, and I live in those dreams, too much; rather than living in the present and dealing with it, while looking toward the future.
I want to live in the present, but, I spent all my life waiting. "For this too shall pass." could be my motto. Some things, though, you don't just wait out. You can't. You have to make things happen and see where your life revolves too, once the ball is rolling.

My life, as of today ...
.. is, well, chaotic, as usual, but, doing okayish.
My sister turned me on to watching 'Dress My Nest' and then 'Clean House', one of which inspired day dreams and the starting of a blog about same; the other of which inspired me to start going through my big piles of magazines and getting rid of what I don't need.
I've put a Jules Verne book up for sale on Craig's List, because, it is rather large, unwieldly and I've already read it. I hope someone buys it. The cost is $20, firm, so they probably won't, but, as I said and/or implied in the ad, the book is in excellent shape and I am not going to be sad to keep it, either.
Another blog has been started, too, which reflects my desire to change my body and ways of eating, to something healthier. And, I have started a blog more specifically geared toward talk of Jehovah. So, many blogs have I, now, to work on every day (or close to).
Erica is going back to Alaska very soon. I am going to be sad she is gone, but, glad when her girlfriend no longer has any reason to call.
What else? Oh, I have met someone. Yes, he is tall and British, thank you; and, yes, it is only online, so far. However, he is someone I, so far, really like as a person as well as find attractive, and, he seems to feel the same way about me. Mind you, I do have a mild paranoia about that, because, things often go tits up, and, because of the particular weirdness, stalking, etc. that occurred during my time with Stuart. Still, all one can do is try, muddle through, and, be honest oneself, trusting in God to protect you from more pain than can be endured. I would love this to be true, this thing brewing between me and he, and if it is true, oh, how many prayers it has the potential to answer. But, if it is wrong .. well, then, it is wrong. . I persevere, I survive, either way.
My sister turned me on to watching 'Dress My Nest' and then 'Clean House', one of which inspired day dreams and the starting of a blog about same; the other of which inspired me to start going through my big piles of magazines and getting rid of what I don't need.
I've put a Jules Verne book up for sale on Craig's List, because, it is rather large, unwieldly and I've already read it. I hope someone buys it. The cost is $20, firm, so they probably won't, but, as I said and/or implied in the ad, the book is in excellent shape and I am not going to be sad to keep it, either.
Another blog has been started, too, which reflects my desire to change my body and ways of eating, to something healthier. And, I have started a blog more specifically geared toward talk of Jehovah. So, many blogs have I, now, to work on every day (or close to).
Erica is going back to Alaska very soon. I am going to be sad she is gone, but, glad when her girlfriend no longer has any reason to call.
