Wow, where to start. Well, I got the job for the AMC Theaters HOWEVER...I ended up turning it down. The pay for this job was actually really poor. It may seem like a lot for some of you but when you live in NYC, that pay was way too low and then I considered my travel. When I have to close, I wouldn't be getting out till around 2am or later and I'm not easily scared but riding the subways around that time of night by yourself makes me very edgy.
I still had the interview lined up for Barnes and Noble and I called them just asking what my pay would be and it was significantly higher plus, this store is so much closer(as in it would cut my travel distance time by over an hour a day).
So, I called and apologized to AMC and told them I wouldn't be able to work for them so now I have to keep my fingers crossed that Barnes and Noble will hire me. BAH!

Anyway, onto the fun stuff. I went out yesterday and found the 2 final pieces I needed for my Tifa costume which were the black leather gloves and the boots. I can't believe I found them both in one store! They actually look JUST like them too except with the boots, I have to spray paint the tips of them white. I tried on the costume to its fullest last night with the gloves and boots and it looks so good! I can't wait to go to the convention this weekend! I'll be sure and snap lots of pictures so you can see me in all my Tifa-splendor^_^

And as promised, I need to tell you guys the story I mentioned in my last post. This goes into my vault of I-Can't-Believe-What-An-Idiot-Humans-Can-Be.
Anyway, so a couple hours before the party on Saturday, my roomate and I kept hearing something clanking against the skylight of our hallway(we're on the top floor) and when we looked up, it was clouded over but we could see something banging against it and taking an object and dinging it against the window. My roomate is freaking out because when she looked up she saw a person looking in at us! So naturally, I started to worry too but I figured, our guests would be coming over soon so I'm sure the person will go away. Well, the guests all arrive and the person on the roof keeps going at it and getting louder and more repetitive! My friend John starts yelling up to him to stop and the dinging does stop but then starts up again. My roomie's boyfriend tells us we better call the police because it could be a psycho up there with a weapon trying to screw with our heads. So we call the police and they arrive and they try to see what's going on. They hear the tapping but they don't have a way to go on the roof to check so they tell us if it gets any worse, then call 911. So we're all there freaking out and then I say to everyone, "Screw this! I'm going to see what it is!" So, a couple of my friends follow me outside and we go as far across the street as we can to try and see on the roof. Well, we could and we found out who our "intruder" was...it was a tarp!!!!!! YES! A freakin' tarp!! There's a new condo being built next to our building and the construction workder hadn't tied down one of their tarps and it was flapping in the wind and banging against our roof and skylight! Hahaha! I was dying in laughter then I couldn't believe what an idiot I was. Everyone else at the party started rolling with laughter when I told them what it was. We called the freakin' police for crying out loud and it was a tarp the whole time! *smack forehead* Oh man, I feel intelligent.
