The Concrete Minerals Electric Eye Primer giveaway winner is...

Ki! Thanks everyone for entering, I enjoyed reading all your suggestions for my new kitty's name. If you're wondering what I ended up choosing... I decided to keep it Gloria, the name they gave her at the shelter :P It just seems to fit her, and it kind of stuck after calling her that for a few days. Here's some pictures! Sleeping in bed... Sitting on the couch... Getting ready to do her makeup... and distracting my boyfriend from doing his homework. For those of you interested, here's some updates on my personal life as of late. This is going to be looong. The last week-ish has been pretty bad, and yesterday was so unbelievably bad it's almost comical. I realized, as I had suspected all along, that the itchy bumps I've been covered in for weeks were NOT from a virus, like the dermatologist said, but bites from bedbugs. Yeah, I had fucking bedbugs. So yesterday I had to take all my pets to my boyfriend's house so the exterminator could come and poison the shit out of my apartment. While he was doing that, I went to my job interview at Macy's, the only place to show any interest in hiring me out of the 8 or so I've applied to since I moved. The interview went well, but in the end, I was told they wouldn't give me the job (which was only going to be 12 hours a week anyway, like that's enough money to live on) unless I would guarantee them that I would stay with them for a full year. As it stands right now, I am looking at moving back home after my lease is up in 8 months, so that's not a promise I'm going to make. I left the interview, obviously pretty upset, and went to my boyfriend's house since I wasn't supposed to go back into my apartment for another 4 hours. We decided to go to the store to buy me some new bedsheets and a new comforter, because I decided I was going to throw mine away. On the way there I had a tire blow out. It didn't just get a little puncture, it got ripped to shreds. So we pulled over and called a towing service to come change the tire, since we didn't want to attempt it on an un-level, extremely busy highway. We drove back to my apartment on the spare tire, and my mom called my boyfriend's cell phone to tell me that my new phone I ordered should be there on Tuesday. This sounds like it's a good thing, but it's not. I broke my cell phone, and ordered the new one WEEKS ago. The shitty company, US Cellular, repeatedly lied to my mom about shipping the phone out. Now that they finally actually did their fucking job, they spelled my street address wrong, and somehow managed to lose my apartment number, so UPS couldn't deliver my phone. I was expecting to get it yesterday, and now I have to wait even longer. It's already been 3 weeks. Then we go inside my apartment and learn everything is still wet and smelly, so I had to grab some stuff to go spend the night with my pets at my boyfriend's house, where I spent the night doing laundry and homework. Now I'm finally back home, and after I finish this post, I have to go out to the store to finally buy the new sheets and comforter. How was your weekend?
