Vortexia's Secret

found something very interesting today. apparently people who can't get enough of the stock market trade shares for blog popularity or something. i definitely don't understand the majority of it, but i understood enough to see that i had a pretty pricey little blog. i must be doing something right! anyway, i just found that interesting.

plans will start to gel for this weekend pretty soon. just to warn you guys, i don't think i'll be doing anything involving a costume this year. sorry. i know there were some big plans in the works for that. the apartment complex is having a halloween thing, but i'm always hesitant with those things because you know it's mostly geared toward the kids. all i'll get are some interested looks from the husbands and pure hatred from the wives and mothers for dressing sexy/slutty/provocatively. not to mention that i always question those kinds of events. i don't have a burning desire for everyone in my complex to get to know me. plus it leaves a hundred apartments open and unattended for quick smash 'n' grab jobs. and if you live near any creeps it would be mega easy to follow you back to see where you live. no gracias. not to mention that i was already suckered into babysitting once this week, and at work nonetheless, so i'm not in the mood to have 20 different parents come at me with this "you seem like a responsible young adult who is just dying to care for my obnoxious slobbering 4 year old who will need medication and anger control classes within a matter of a couple years because i'm not supervising them or other [fill in the blank here] parenting issues." of course there are many great parents and plenty of lovely children, but let's face it... halloween brings out the worst in kids who are hyped on pounds of sugar and their parents who absolutely don't want to be in closed quarters with that kid at the end of the night when they're ready for bed. and since i'm not at a stage where i feel like acting as a positive role model for young children in my days off, i'll just keep those days to myself and spend them as i see fit, role modeling or not.

ok, that was another long random tangent. seems like it's been happening a lot lately. anyway, time to shut down the computer and get into my comfy big bed. buenas noches!
