Basically, after going to school to discover that there was no reason in the gods' wide universe for me to be there, other than checking my finals schedule, and seeing Darkside, which I was ten minutes too late to do, I came home. I stopped in at Grass Roots to say hello and give the lady there a bottle of my Nurturing Woman blend of perfume oil.
She proposed to me that if I were to bottle these and label them, I could sell them to her, and she could sell them.
I looked up the Arizona business requirements, and it's basically doing sales tax type paperwork, and optionally registering one's business name, at least for this variety of business. I can do what I adore doing, basically, for sale... and still do school and get the programming job, eventually.
Told Votania about the idea. She cheered.
If this goes anywhere at all, FatherSir will be so proud of me.

I called Darkside and we chatted for a bit. Came up with an interesting graduation card for Shrimpy. Told him about the prospect of selling the perfume oils.
"Study for your finals," he said.
"Was that an order?" I asked.
"What did it sound like? Study for your finals!"
"What's the magic word?"
"I order you to study for your finals!"
"Yes, sweetie."
"And don't call me sweetie!"
"Yes, honey."
"Well, at least you didn't put a 'Cutey' in front of that."
This devolved into an anime conversation. When we recovered, I told him that seriously, he was someone I accepted orders from. He decided to explore the boundaries of this newfound power of his.
"And if I ordered you to bark like a dog?"
"Arf?"
"I said, if. And if I ordered you to give Shrimpy a wedgie?"
I laughed evilly.
"Ah, so there are limits!" he said triumphantly.
"Depending on opportunity," I said, still with the evil Shrimpy + wedgie equation in my mind.
He told me to go and study, and we made our farewells. He's sometimes so sweet... it's not always just the choice of words; it's usually the tone of voice. Tonight was one of those nights. I went. I studied. ( TMI ) I now am pretty damn sure I know the whole test.
