Personal: Long Overdue Post

Greetings!

I'm sorry to have not been very active as a blogger lately, October has been a busy month! However, during this time I made choc chip cookies and hot cocoa recipes, so Mordor's Kitchen will soon be updated.

And since Halloween is rolling around I'll probably get around to posting the 'Potion bottle tutorial'...Hopefully.

I'm not sure how much further Mordor's kitchen will go right now, as though nice warm drinks and things are wonderful for all of you bloggers entering (Autumn, is it?) we Australians are nearly in summer, and I fear it will be hot.

Okay, well I'll stop rambling and get on with the updates.

For Bat Fit I've been kind of slack. *Shifts* I haven't given much heed to recent assignments as of late, and although I'm been trying to get to the gym and exercise, I could probably do a lot better.

But I have been going on the computer less, replacing it for some nice reading outside. I let my rabbits run around and keep an eye on them while sitting with my parasol. :)

One thing I am annoyed about though, is I'm having trouble sleeping at night, because even though I ate an enormous dinner, a few hours later I'm extremely hungry. This is forcing me to eat bread at night, which previously made me gain a lot of weight...I tried fruit and I just got nausea. :(

Do you have any suggestions, fellow Bat Fitters, on how to beat the 'crazy midnight snack' cravings?

The other main thing that's been keeping me busy is that I GOT A JOB!

Before I had a heavy mindset that 'I wouldn't work until I'd finished school' but last month I finally decided to start looking for work.

Only a week later, my sister came over and mom told her about my plans, she said that the restaurant where she works is looking for people, that she'd check in for me.

A week after that she confirmed that I'd got the job!

They called me in on a Saturday, I was so nervous about it that I almost didn't make it out the door, but once I got there, a lovely Italian restaurant downtown, I got shown around the place and started to like it more.

The manager then taught me my job: Polishing silverware. Basically what I have to do is recieve a load of cutlery from the dishwashers, and take a dishcloth and dip the cutlery in steaming vinegar water, rub the cutlery with the cloth, then put it into a container.

After that I deliver it to the wait staff, who add it to the plates they're bringing to tables.

It's really easy, and I've only got 3 shifts a week - Fri, Sat, Sun nights for 3 hours.

And to my eternal delight, I don't have to wear a uniform, JUST ALL BLACK. :)

Another thing I'm fond of about this restaurant is that even though there's a dress code for the wait staff, several of them have visible tattoos and piercings/dyed hair - Looking quite alternative - and everyone's totally fine with it.

So it was nice for me, as though I dress very plainly at work, and I don't have any tattoos/dyed hair/piercings, it's nice to know I can be Goth and not have to worry about 'not scaring people' or whatever.

Speaking of which, as for 'outfit posts' I haven't really done well these last few months. I still want to be Goth, it's just I don't have the energy to pick out nice outfits these days. (I have succumbed to the dreaded tracksuit like appearance :( )

And since summer is nearly upon us I think I'll have to wait before I can wear any 'finery' again. I'll try to make an outfit before Halloween, but I think this blog will be void of much outfit stuff at least for a bit longer, sorry.

Once I get work money, I'm planning on buying more band shirts and gothtastic practical clothing, so I can get away with wearing tee shirt and jeans, just that they're nice and spooky. :)

Okay, that's about all for now.

I hope to see you all soon,

Farewell!
