I'm late in joining the support because I've been busy sorting issues here but I really want to throw a lot of luck in your direction.  It's good to see that you're being creative at the same time too.  I like that headband.

Thanks on both counts, Drear. Smiley Creativity is who I am - it's always there no matter what else is going on.

While I was getting ready for this afternoon's interview, a different company called to schedule another in an earlier time slot. Two interviews in one afternoon? No problem.
    Unfortunately, I don't think either opportunity is going to pan out. Undecided That's the way the thunder rumbles. I sent out another slew of résumés this morning and I have another UI check on the way. Moving on.

Hair wise, I did a CWC using Suave waterfall mist as a light conditioner. It's actually richer than I remember and conditions rather well on its own. Regular conditioner blend and diluted TRESemmé shampoo are nearly gone.

The flipped rope braid lasted through the interviews but started falling apart afterwards. Especially after spending time at the coast.

Decided to try out an indie café by the water...and ended up with the worst iced white mocha and berry cheesecake I've ever had in my life. Tongue Binning the former, I went about looking for something better to wash it all down with. The line at Starbucks was horrendous. Häagen-Dazs was a different story Wink so I got a dulce de leche shake there, which was good but made me ill after awhile. Tongue My diet has been crap lately anyway. Embarrassed

Alas, that's where I am now. Disappointed, ill, and after waking up way too early, combined with the day's events, dead tired.
    But tomorrow is another day. Peace.

Okay, even if the interviews don't result in a job offer this week, something could come from them later.  Plus, every interview you do gives you experience and will result in better interviews later.  Someone as positive as you are is bound to end up with a really fab position.

I love all the little tests you have been posting.  What a hoot!!  I keep playing with my responses to see what changes the answer.

Melusine: Grin Sometimes I do the same thing just to see what kind of results someone else might get. Other times, I have my sister take the same quiz to see what she ends up with since her personality is quite different from mine.

And thanx for the encouragement. I've been called a lot of things but never "positive." Grin

Curlgirl: Thanx. Yeah, it's a bummer. I've a pretty strong foreboding that neither place will pick me...but that's just going to have to be ok. It's out of my hands. Better to shrug off the things I can't control and focus on what I can - like getting as many résumés out as possible every day and staying on top of whichever new positions become available so I can be the first to pounce on them. Wink
    You may call that positivity, but it's probably something closer to desperation. ...

Hair: CW routine. Blended conditioner, diluted TRESemmé shampoo. It bloody amazes me how certain inexpensive products can render my hair so soft. Shocked I honestly haven't had a problem giving up Pantene. That may be the strangest thing I've ever said in these forums.

Anyway, leave-ins today were Kenra Daily Provision and ELOO. Style was a casual bun which has since come down as I plan to load my hair with oil overnight.

Etc.: Power walked the 30 minute route twice today and exercised in my room for an additional 30 minutes out of pure boredom. Diet has been pretty healthy today as well and I'm finding motivation in unexpected places...like my sister's bf. His unhealthy habits inspire me to keep making good decisions for myself. Like this afternoon when he threw some mayo & cheese-laden sarnie on the stove with butter on both ends while I cracked open a can of soup. Roll Eyes

In many ways, I sense that familiar old roommate competitiveness returning. The same sort of thing I had going with my last set of roommates - looking down on their habits and doing the opposite. Eating well while they eat crap, keeping my room tidy while theirs is a pig sty, exercising while they're lazy, etc. Maybe that's common behaviour among roommates. Undecided

Anyroad, it's still a bit early but I'm dead knackered and need to sleep. Right after oiling my hair. G'night, loves.

Trisha: Right?? Wink

Hair: Washed last night's oil out with Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition shampoo and conditioned twice. First with Pantene Moisture Renewal, last with Triple Nutrition conditioner. Leave-ins were Kenra Daily Provision and ELOO. The Dove slime seems to have cleared out completely and my hair has been returned its natural texture so I can pretty much use whatever I want on it. Thank goodness.

At the moment it's air drying and I've not yet decided what sort of style I'll do. Maybe just a headband. Smiley

Etc.: No new job leads as yet. Really hoping for my next UI check to arrive soon.

Need to switch meds again. The current supply isn't doing anything good for me. I'll be off of them for good once I can afford to see my dermatologist again.

Hopefully by fall, everything will turn out for the best. I'll have a new job, be able to afford decent meds, fit in my clothes again and all of the new Halloween merch will be hitting stores. God willing.

The band is getting together tonight. Here we go again. Roll Eyes


You Are an Archangel

...

You're so good, people have trouble believing it's not an act. You're practically a saint.
You take ethics and morals very seriously. You can be depended on to do the right thing, even when it's difficult.

You may or may not be religious, but you are definitely deeply spiritual. You want to do right in this world.
You would never betray the trust of your friends and family. And in turn, you are highly respected by everyone.

Hair: CWC with Suave waterfall mist (ahhh) light conditioner, diluted TRESemmé anti-breakage shampoo and another conditioner blend. Leave-ins were Kenra Daily Provision and ELOO as usual and the style was/is a single braid.

Emptied the huge TRESemmé bottle and tossed it in the recycle bin. Woo! One down...
    Now I'm playing mad scientist in the bathroom, mixing potions to cut down on clutter. It rather amazes me just how much product is stashed about in my room. I feel almost like a hoarder. Shocked This whole hair thing can become quite the obsession, can't it?

Music: The jam actually went well last night even though it was freezing cold. The only real disagreement was how often we should get together. Dad & I could really push it back to once a month but Grateful Ed wants to move it up to twice a week. Twice a week...for a purely social band going nowhere fast. Insert any number of "he's on dope" comments here. Literally - he grows the stuff legally for "medical" purposes. Roll Eyes Ah, brother Ed, you make yourself too easy a target.

My father is buying a song from a local composer that suits his voice and style really well. He played it for the lot of us last night and had us join in. The song is going on a forthcoming CD from my dad's other band (the decent one) and he wants me to learn harmonies and record it with him. I'm not sure yet whether it's to be a single, EP or full on album, but it will all be done locally and independently and should be kinda fun. Smiley

Etc.: Anywho, I'm home alone (except for the dog) so now would be the perfect time to get a few things done which would otherwise be hampered by the presence of...well, others. My agenda, my way. Cool

Hair: Kinda weird today. I'm not sure if it's due to the wash method, the products used or the good thrashing I put it through while working out both this morning and afternoon. Undecided

Started off in a ponytail while I worked out for an hour, then I did my best to comb it before giving it a CW in the shower with a blended (mostly Pantene) conditioner and slightly diluted Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition shampoo. It became clear that the latter was just too greasy and wouldn't make a good daily shampoo, so I dumped it. Man, have I had it with heavy, slimy shampoos lately. Tongue Thankfully, I clarify tomorrow.

Anyway, leave-ins were the usual Kenra Daily Provision and ELOO. Left my hair down as usual while it air dried, during which time I worked in another half hour of exercise. The detangling that followed was something of a struggle. My hair's always a bit weird after it's been badly tangled and then detangled. Think I'll give it a little more ELOO and either braid it or put it in a bun or something.

So far, I've more or less been adapting to a new weekly wash regimen:

Sunday - clarify
Monday - CWC
Tuesday - CW + heavy ELOO overnight
Wednesday - WCC
Thursday - CWC
Friday - CW
Saturday - CWC or WC + heavy ELOO overnight

So the length only gets washed twice a week. Not sure whether that's enough just yet. Looking forward to measure day next week. Smiley

Etc.: Chillin' to some great goth music this afty. And I don't mean anything remotely close to Nine Inch Nails, Marilyn Manson, Evanescence, Prodigy or whatever else the ignorant masses think is "goth." I mean real goth music: Bauhaus, Siouxse & the Banshees, The Cure, Bella Morte, The Crüxshadows, VNV Nation, The Sisters Of Mercy...mostly bands that the ignorant masses have never heard of...and thank goodness. Roll Eyes

Still no news in the job search and nothing from EDD, and time is running out. Of course I realize the futility of hoping for anything different on either end. ... Guess the powers that be just won't be satisfied until I can't pay my bills, lose everything I own and am living in a shelter somewhere.


I am letting go
my grip loosens by the day
In my solitude
my eyes open for the fall
I won't mourn this life
just those that I've left behind
I won't mourn this life
as I cross the final line

Hair: Clarified this morning without doing an overnight ELOO treatment last night, and I guess I should have. Even after conditioning with Pantene Deep Fortifying treatment, most of my hair was dry and prone to serious tangles. One was so bad that it had to be cut out. Sad After braiding it, I poured ELOO over the ends and worked it through. Let's hope that does something.

Etc.: Anyone tried the new Hershey's Pieces? I got the York ones tonight and they're epic! Cheesy Can't wait to try the Almond Joy ones if I ever have the chance.

Watched Singin' In The Rain with my family a little while ago. Or at least I tried what with them blathering on the minute they walked through the door, the dog jumping all over the place and my sister's idiot boyfriend standing in front of the TV for a minute. Angry Erg. Trying to watch movies in this family is impossible, thus I always try to do it alone.

They're all watching Avatar now and I'm going for a walk. Ta-ra!

You will never end up living in a shelter; I would not let that happen.

Trisha: If you could somehow prevent that from 5 states away, then you have far more power than I do. Wink

Hair: Bunned for this morning's exercises, then detangled with my seamless acrylic comb, and a CWC took care of yesterday's oil-saturated ends. Currently using Suave waterfall mist as a light conditioner until the bottle is empty. Washed the top half of my hair with Suave Kids 2-in-1 and all of its citrusy goodness. Conditioned with the usual blend.
 
Today's only leave-in was Kenra Daily Provision and the style is a bun held in place with bobby pins. I like how wisps of hair naturally come out of this style and keep it from looking too marmy.

Spotted the new version of my hair's former partner, Pantene, while I was out today. Not digging the new graphics and they are now using harsher detergents in the shampoos and cheaper plastics for the bottles. Tongue It's kind of like watching someone you once dated go completely downhill and thinking, boy, I got out of that one just in time!
So long, Pantene. We had a good ride.

Etc.: Definitely going to stop taking my current meds as they are causing too many unpleasant side effects, including weight gain. It's freaking me out because I've always been naturally thin, but I've been here before and know how to deal. I'll likely take a few months off of meds altogether before trying something else.

Nails are now black with a subtle glitter topcoat. They're actually a bit more glittery than intended, but whatever. It's extremely fine glitter and only visible in direct light, and it's only going to be there for a week anyway. I figured that so long as I wasn't getting called for any interviews, my nails may as well be fun.
    Of course, I did stop short of getting a bottle of purple glitter polish yesterday. Grin If I was 16, it wouldn't even be a question. I'd buy it and slick it over black polish in a heartbeat. But I'm a big girl now and there are classier ways to rock the sparkle. Wink

Finally got my last UI check in the mail today and put it in the bank. It's not much but I can now at least afford to register my car for another year. Yays. Roll Eyes
    My mother's first unemployment extension was approved and they've started sending her money again, which is great for her and encouraging for me. Fingers crossed.

Blaaah. Up insanely early yet again. Tongue My sister's bf gets up at 4:45 AM to get ready for work, which always wakes me up. Being unable to go back to sleep, I took advantage of the early hour and went for a short walk. Only the 20 minute route since the sun was coming out and my legs were already sore enough.

Came back in and exercised for 20 more minutes, and I'll probably walk the 20 minute route again tonight. I try to get at least 60 minutes a day.

In hair news, I bought Kenra moisturizing S&C a few days ago and used them yesterday. Both are insanely thick and leave a slick, heavy residue but it doesn't seem to matter once my hair is dry. There's also a pretty strong coconut fragrance.
    The usual Kenra Daily Provision and ELOO as leave-ins don't seem to be enough lately. More and more, I'm becoming convinced that my hair is just growing too long for its texture as the ends only seem to get drier and more eager to tangle. As I've said before, I'll reach waist length purely out of principle, then cut back to BSL. I guess the longest that my hair type should ever grow is just past mid-back. Sad

As for today, the routine will be a CWC. I've more or less given up on the CW approach as it didn't seem to condition my hair enough. I have another new shampoo that I'm dying to break in - Suave Kids 2-in-1 in the cherry jams scent - because it smells like grenadine! Cheesy Yeah, I use kids products. What about it?

Good news: the state has extended my UI claim. *HUGE sigh of relief* More good news: band brother Moon Pie will be joining the rest of us for a jam tonight. Perhaps he & I will tinker around with the old B3 organ that Lizard bought recently. Roll Eyes

Now for just a touch of totally unrelated self mockery...
