Pinkie Larue

I haven’t heard back from the employers yet! The guy who interviewed me told me he’d get back to me BY Friday (yesterday) about my second interview OR to let me know that he wasn’t interested. I HAVE HEARD NOTHING! :( I’m trying to think positive-”maybe he was busy!” “maybe he will call on Monday”. It’s kind of frustrating. Don’t promise that you’ll contact me by a certain time if you aren’t sure you can do it! *sigh* I did get another job offer. It’s in retail-something I swore I would never do again, but HEY! I need money, so I will gladly take it. And in the meanwhile I’ll keep applying for other jobs. Just this morning I applied for a position as an advertising sales rep for a newspaper, something I did for a few years in college and LOVED. Hoping for the best in all of these situations.

I guess this means I can enjoy Funemployment a little while longer (the hallmark job doesn’t offer very many hours). Reading comics, watching netflix, playing video games, and NOT GOING SHOPPING! Which is probably the thing that annoys me the most. I love shopping and it’s killing me that I can’t go. Especially now that they’re putting all of the new spring clothing out *dies*. I should also take this time to spend more time at the gym or running. It’ll be summer in no time and I have to be in a bathing suit (going to a beach wedding!) . The thought of me in one right now makes me want to barf!

So, with the inspiration of a blog post from Ms. Ebony and the Couch to 5k program, I will be starting a (new?) workout plan! I run/jog occasionally, but it’s very sporadic. With the help of the couch to 5k program which includes podcasts and apps, I’m hoping to be a little less sporadic and follow the program down to a tee! I’ll update you on my first week on Sunday and I’ll start tomorrow.

Hi! My name is Soph and I’m a Con virgin.
(Hi, Soph)

I have never been to a convention (con) of any kind. I’ve always wanted to, but never had anyone that was interested in going with me or I lived too far away from any of the ones I wanted to attend (looking at you Blizz-con and Comic-Con)! Well, I’m happy to say I have found a Con near me! Steel City Con in Pittsburgh will be held next week and I can’t wait!

It’s a 3 day event, but I think I’ll just attend one day. I’m excited!!! Any tips for a Con virgin? Are there some official no-no’s? you know like the equivalent of NOT wearing a Radiohead shirt to a Radiohead concert? Let me know!

The interview went really well and I have a second interview with the owner of the company sometime this week. I’m excited and I’m pretty sure I have it, but I don’t want to jinx myself!

(p.s. I have a job interview today. Wish me luck and send good vibes my way!)

I had a great Valentine’s Day with my sweetie. He got me tons of chocolate…seriously, TONS. It will take me about 3 weeks to eat all of this chocolate and I am a chocolate fiend! We didn’t do anything out of the ordinary. We cleaned the entire apartment, played some video games, popped open a yummy bottle of wine he bought for me from Germany last fall, and finished Season 1 of Dexter. WOAH! That season was WAY intense. I loved it and am so glad i finally decided to watch it after years of saying, “naaaaah, I won’t like it”. But Dexter will always be gay David Fisher to me!

We’re starting season 2 tomorrow (no spoilers please!). Tomorrow is also 6 months for us! He planned on us celebrating with a fancy schmancy Italian dinner, but I am delaying it. Tomorrow I start the process of braiding my hair and I definitely won’t be finished by tomorrow evening. Perhaps by Wednesday or Thursday. I’ll post pics of my progress.

Oh and ch-ch-changes! If you’re a somewhat longtime reader, you know I dabble in things that some may refer to as geeky, but I refer to as FUCKING AWESOME. World of warcraft, comics, graphic novels, video games-that kind of stuff. Well, I don’t want to turn this into a niche blog, but I’m going to start posting about some of those things a lot more. Hope you don’t mind and if you do, I DON’T CARE!

So, what did you do for Valentine’s Day? Did anyone eat more chocolate than I did? Probably not :P

Super cute, right? You can find more of his work here.

Happy Valentine’s Day!
I hope everyone of you, whether you’re single or taken, has a happy Valentine’s Day!

I’ve been blogging for a total of 8 years (omg!), but on this blog for just 2. I want to thank all of my readers and blogger friends that I’ve met through this blog. You guys and the blogging community in general are one of my many reasons for blogging. I’ve made and met so many wonderful, smart, hilarious, and inspirational people from a silly blog called PinkieLarue. Here’s to 2 years!

oh and I have been awarded with some blog awards from the lovely ladies Ebony Jewel and Michelle!

And if anyone lurks this blog, you should come out and say hello!

I have a few links to share with you.

Our Little Family- is a blog by one of my dearest friends, Amanda. It documents her new life as a mommy of a precious boy named Caiden as well as other things she’s dealing with in life-decorating, gardening, and of course the perfect haircut!

Mana Pot Addict-is a new blog by my friend Kiki! She describes it as “Pictures, links to things I find interesting, adorable kittens, Anything! By default I am a geeky person, I sit at my computer all day and play video games, so expect most of what is posted here to be sort of amazing.” It is definitely a super cute blog and I’m already drooling over one of the items she posted! These super cute headphones from UrbanEars! They come in purple! Squee!

Yooshername Whatshername is a new blog by my friend Devynn!. This is the third time I’ve updated her link, hehe. Make sure you check it out. She blogs about her every day life, funny situations, astrological stuff, and if this blog is like her old blog, which I have a feeling it will be, it will have the coolest “I want” posts that will have you adding some new clothes/items to your collection. Check out this cute zipper bracelet! I want one in silver.

add them to your blog roll!

I just realized my 2 year blog-aversary is coming up too!

Aaaaaaaand I know I’m late to the club, but I finally got a Google Friend Connect badge in my right sidebar. Log in and follow my blog! If you have one, I’ll follow you too. (I think I follow most of my readers/blogger friends, but if I don’t leave me a note and I will!)

Also this!
