I Want It, I Got It

| Now Playing: 7 Rings by Ariana Grande |

Breakfast at Tiffany's

And bottles of bubbles

Girls with tattoos

Who like getting in trouble

Lashes and diamonds

ATM machines

Buy myself all of my favorite things

Been through some bad shit

I should be a sad bitch

Who would've thought

It'd turn me to a savage?

Rather be tied up

With calls and not strings

Write my own checks

Like I write what I sing

My wrist?

Stop watching

My neck

Is flossing

Make big

Deposits

My gloss

Is popping

You like

My hair?

Gee thanks!

Just bought it

I see it, I like it

I want it, I got it.

Who ever said

Money can't solve your problems

Must not had

Enough money to solve 'em

They ask which one

I say nah I want all of 'em

Happiness is the

Same price as red bottoms

My smile

Is beaming

My skin

Is gleaming

The way

It shine

I know

You seen it

I bought

A crib

Just for

The closet

Both his

And hers

I want it, I got it

I want it, I got it

I want it, I got it

I want it, I got it

I want it, I got it

You like

My hair?

Gee thanks!

Just bought it

I see it, I like it

I want it, I got it

What a week it's been. I feel like so much has happened but also not really a lot has at the same time. Most of it has been mundane things, and work things. I guess I'll start with the biggest change. So, as of this week, I'm officially back in Toys, and I'm liking it. I probably would be loving it, but I literally came back to the department as the spring reset was happening, so all the mods and everything like that was fucked. But I'm glad to be back in Toys. It's nice to have this little sliver of familiarity back into my work life that has been so tumultuous and hazy ever since moving down to Richmond. This week, I ended up going into work early, working 5 to 2 instead of my usual 7 to 4. It was fine, and I got a lot of the mods accomplished and everything, but there's just so much going on in Toys right now, and they seem to expect me to stay after if everything's not done, and I literally don't understand that? Back at Salem, there wasn't this expectation that if you didn't stay to make sure you're stuff was done, that you might be facing a talking to. I really don't understand it, and I certainly don't like it.

On my day off, Tuesday, I got some more writing done, and officially perfected and typed up chapter 11 in Book Two, so that felt amazing. I'm just so ready to write, I know I keep saying that, but for fucking real, I can't say it enough. I did find this little event that's going on with James River Writers, a group I found on Facebook. It's supposed to be this little mixer type hang out thing where writers can come together and just hang out. So hopefully I can make some connections, or what would be really cool is if I made a friend or two from it. I love my friends back home, it just sucks not being able to readily see them when I would like to. I believe the next Writers Wednesday is February 13th, so we'll have to see if that plays out like I hope it will. Regardless of what happens, I think it'll be good for me to branch out and try and really simulate myself here in Richmond, especially in the writing avenue, so it's basically a double win that I'm hoping pays off.

The only other big that that happened was our rings came in, and I finally have mine! It feels great to have it, and I secretly love looking over at Allen and seeing it on his hand. Maybe that's weird, I don't know. I just love him so much, and even through arguments and misunderstandings, he's constantly my favorite view.

I guess that really it? I'm still shopping my book around, I FINALLY heard back from the FIRST place I sent a query letter to, which was a pass, but I'm expecting to get passes my first go at this. No one gets a yes their first time. Hell, J.K Rowling and Stephen King were told no for years. I'm just really hoping it happens at least in the near future. I want it so bad.

Finally got a place for my birthday, even had to cancel an Airbnb but we got another one, a better one. I just want Allen and I to be able to have some privacy, unlike our last Airbnb. We're still looking into getting our own place soon, just trying to figure everything out financially. Oh, and we're going back to Massanutten this May? That was super surprising, but super exciting. That'll be a fun getaway. Coming up this week, I don't think is a whole lot, really. Just trying to get this ranking Red video edited, planning out the next chapter in Book Two, and waiting until vacation, really.

And how could I not put Ariana's new bop in the NP? Although, I do prefer to call it by the title of this blog and not 7 Rings, but ya know. It's just the writer in me.

Until next time,
