:heart:

Dear GODS I've never been so happy to be in PAIN

*Curls up in ball writhing in agony*

3 weeks....3 weeks....'bout bloody freakin' time Body


Oh how I loathe thee sometimes.....

I suppose I should be a good girl and post more often. Its just been hard for me, never knowing what to say, never knowing who actually reads this bloody thing. But I realize its okay. If you don't want to read it, don't. If you have more important things than reading this, by all means. Honestly, I don't mind anymore. I've gotten over some things and came to some realizations.

I didn't mean for my last post to come across as bitter, though I know it did. And I apologize. I've come to terms with the fact that some of you have other friends and have a little less time for those who are farther away. I just don't want to lose any of you....aaand I'm going to stop with the whining and sappy *laughs*

In other news! Interview seemed to have gone well. His last words to me were "Welcome aboard" and I filled out the application form. I had to write a stupid essay too. Was only supposed to 250 words saying why they should accept me, but Mike was all like "I'm gonna be generous, I'll let you have 500 words!" *twitchtwitch* I think it went over alright, though. I haven't heard back from him yet with a for sure yay or nay. But we'll see. I'll keep ya'll posted on that.

I had opted for the July semester over September, just to give myself more of a headstart. I'd prolly even go over even earlier just to settle in and get to know Vancouver/Burnaby. Ya know, scout out all the cheap eats and nearest convenience stores that sell Mr.Noodles. XD If I'm gonna be a college student, I gotta do things right, eh? Now....just need to figure out exactly WHAT I should have in my portfolio..... o.O and apparently need to feed stomach.....*scampers off to find food*

Well, geez...where to start huh? There have been several reasons why I haven't really felt inclined to post in the last few months. Ya know, being busy, not really sure what to say...not really sure anymore how many of you actually care. I know I havne't been around all that much, some of you have shiney new friends thus dropping the old ones, and frankly, I just started to give up. But I would like to clarify one thing. Just because *I* don't post, doesn't mean that I'm not interested in what *YOU* have to say. I do read all your journals on a regular basis, but as of late, I'm finding any time I post a reply, I get no response back. From anyone. Good way to make me feel like I'm still wanted. Thanks guys. [/sarcasm]

Anyway, on to real world news. New job. Several of you know by now that I was FIRED from Movie Gallery, so I won't get into that unless you ask. Anyway, I know work in the Leisure department of Superstore (kinda like Canada's equivalent to Wal*Mart) which isn't so bad. Stocking shelves and not having to deal with so many people is a good thing for my sanity, what little there is left. I've only been there for five months, but I'm now third down the chain. There's only one person between me and the supervisor. Meaning that I get a shitload of hours, albeit at 8 in the morning which is kinda new to me. I like it though. So its all good.

Erm....typing hurts like a bitch in my right wrist now. All that painting I've done for costumes in the past (Wedding!Seishirou, multiple incarnations of Sakura, Setsuka, Kilik, Seung Mina, Dragon Jackets, etc) have finally caught up with me in the form of Tendonitis or Carpal Tunnel, one of the two. Either way, it requires me to wear a brace which greatly impedes my ability to do ANYTHING, including work, type, draw. So of course, I barely wear the damn thing. >.> I prolly should be good, but I just can't DO anything when I wear it. Really though, my wrist isn't all THAT bad........I hope. I've yet to see a doctor for offical diagnosis. I kinda don't really WANT to see one.

In other happier news. The time seems to have finally come for me. Final results will be known this Tuesday, but there is a good chance I'll finally be going back to school. In Vancouver. O.o Scary scary vancouver. Well, Burnaby, but still. Art Institute of Vancouver called me back after I was literally pushed towards their booth at Anime Evolution, and I have a two hour interview over the phone with them on Tuesday. I'm nervous as all hell, but excited at the same time. I can't decide if I want to go into the traditional animation side, or the game design aspect. I love just designing characters, but I really really want to see my work come to life. Most likely I'll go with animation, and afterwards if I feel inclined, I'll also take the design. The course is only a year and a half, so its' not too bad, and they'd help with job placement afterwards. From what Mike (my interviewer) told me, sometimes companies just come in even if you're only three months into the program and hand select about 5 people. He seemed really positive that I can get in, but I'm still just a little worried. I can't help it. School. Me. It's been, what...7 years since I've been. And having to move off my little island to Burnaby, away from everyone, friends, family....its a huge step. I know I could do it if I had to, but I don't like the idea of having NOONE around. Sure my Brother lives in Burnaby, and Cocoa is there, but I don't know how close we'd be to each other, or for how long. I mean, it wont' be until NEXT September that I'd be going......its just nerve wracking. I know I shouldn't think about it all that much, especially when I don't know for sure whether or not I'm in. *Crosses fingers* wish me luck on Tuesday.

More or less.....just a brief update for ya'll if anyone's interested in whether or not I still exist.

Lesse...where to start....Movie Gallery dropped me from 32 to 12-19 hours a week. Felt like I was gonna throw up when I saw that.
Accquired second job relatively quickly. I start on Monday at 8am EIGHT AM!! Dear god I'm going to hate Monday. I go from 8am-1pm at one job, then 3pm-10pm at the other job. Ironically, the only two days I work next week, I work at both jobs. Someone please tell me WHY IN GODS NAME they decided to do that to me....they're all conspiring against me I know they are! *checks out window suspiciously*

Uhm....god...what else? Too early to think.....other than work and people driving me insane, life's been more or less normal. If you can call any geek's life NORMAL. o.O

Ya know..I had more to say when I went to start this thing, but now I just don't feel like saying any of it. Just don't care to bore ya'll so I guess that be the end of my update.

Wow....my life is so exciting.............................

Oh yeah, one more thing. I miss you guys. ;________;

The only necklace I ever wore broke today....I was so sad.

;______________;

I suppose that's what you get for never taking it off? I loved that thing. I'm sorry Heather, the necklace you got for me in Hawaii broke.

Well...Tobi died today. Well...about 15 minutes ago....he'd been slow and not eating very much for the last week or so. Today he was barely moving and hardly reacted when I picked him up to try and warm him up. He was young too which is weird...just over a year old. *shakes head* Ah well. It was a good year though. He was a happy rat. And now as of tomorrow, he will rest with his big brothers Yuki and Aki under the Magic Maple at my parents house.

Okay, looks like it's going to be the 12:00 showing, as in noon. Vast majority of people seem to be able to make that one alittle easier than the others (that and I have to work at 5:30....)

Dear gods, I'm updating. Sorta. Kinda. I guess? Well, I'm alive, and I guess that's what's important. *shrugs* Lesse, what's going on in my life? Hmm...not much really. I work. I come home and sleep. I work.....yeah, that's about it really. Crossing my fingers that I can actually get the days off I want for Yaoicon. I am going dammit! I am!!! For once I can AFFORD to go, its all a matter of if I can get the TIME OFF this time what with only 4 emplyoees so far *nudgenudgemorepeopleneedinginterviewingDebbie* >.> Yes. So far I've only got about two things planned, though not entirely sure if I need one of them. RAN!! VAGA!!! You guys still plan on going to Ycon at all? If you're not, Gareth's gonna be a lone wolf!
o.O Most of my costumes this time around can easily be found at ValueVillage. Heh. Yeah cheap shit! Contacts are what's gonna get me though. I can't wear my blue ones anymore some how they ended up with a tear in them. *growls* Bah. Must get new blue contacts. Must locate $45 for new contacts....

Hmm...in life in general, my dad's gonna be back soon, hopefully for good this time. I really really want him to learn from this experience this time. *hopes* We'll see when he gets back. Last time he was alright for awhile, but he fell back into it. He says this time he's going to stop hanging around with those people........*shrugs* well see. My grandmother's in the hospital, she went in for an open heart surgery on Tuesday. She should be out by next week or so. My mom's down in Victoria with her. So far so good with that. Much love goes to her.
Oh yeah, and I came home Sunday? I guess it was? Came home from work to find Aki had died. Was fully expecting it though. He was having problems breathing when I left for work, didn't really want to go, but had to. He passed away sometime while I was working. So he's now joined Yuki at my parent's property and poor Tobi is all confused and lonely looking. Kari and I were contemplating putting him and Kit together and see how that goes.

Hmmm....guess that isn't all that much of an update. *shrugs* Ah well. I live. That's all this was really meant for. *nods*

( And a vampire quiz! )
