PICS
Well, I got fucked over for going back to school today. I was supposed to receive funding for school, (the start date was today) but I was called last week to be told that the application process would take another 3 WEEKS to go through the approval process. I spent the remainder of last week trying to figure out a way to change that, but it was out of my hands.
Needless to say, I'm pretty disappointed. Today was (supposedly) the last day that this course would be starting for a long time, so once I get funding I'll probably have to choose another course/school altogether.
This also means that I'm responsible for another month of rent (April), that I can't afford since I've been spending all of March working my ass off to get this application completed (involved extensive school and market research).
Thank you to those that have purchased books & prints from me so far. The extra bit of money will certainly help me out.
I still have 5 books remaining, as well as my older prints for sale:

So I *might* be going to school in April. I'm still going through the application process, and researching a few schools. So far I've found a Web Developer/Designer course that I'm almost sure I'm going to take, I'm just being careful and doing my homework.
I figure I may as well do something that I already have experience in, and I'm planning on taking it at a private college, so I won't be bogged down with the fluff courses that community colleges offer. My problem up until now has been the fact that every single last computer related course has required that I take math every year of the course. I am bad at math, and for the most part has nothing to do with the aspect of computers that I'm getting in to.
So as always I'm offering my prints here...:
Prints For Sale
...because I'm going to need some extra money to help cover all this.
I'm just waiting on financial assistance at the moment, so I'm crossing my fingers that it will come through. Aside from that I've already gotten a letter of acceptance from one college, so it all depends on money...when doesn't it really?

Happy Valentine's Day...I guess?
What did you do, or not do to celebrate?
Take-out for me, Chinese food is on the way

I'm taking down my Dark & Stormy Night set come the 15th (the 3 month mark). So this would be the time to save all those images you want from it! 
Hopefully I can re-vamp it, or get another set shot in the next month or so. I am sorely overdue for a front page set.
My birthday was o.k. this year....I went out for dinner with a bunch of friends, which was great. The evening just seemed to die down really quickly before I was done with my partying....oh, and no one put me to bed when I fell asleep on the couch. Sunday was a facking horrible day (and no, I didn't puke!).
BinaryBitch and I will be attending the Pre-Gala thingy tomorrow night, so I'll get to see all you shiny people that I miss so terribly, and meet some you new members too!

Six more weeks of winter....yay?
All 3 of my kitties are sick, it started with Squeek, and now the other 2 are sniffling and sneezing. Hopefully they get over it on their own, going to the vet over this would be rather costly.
I'm starting the count-down to my birthday of late-twenties doom *shiver* ...

1 more week until my birthday....26...eep. I'm entering into my late 20's...it seemed to come to quickly. I guess that's what we all say though. One day you wake up and you're 50 and you realize that you missed out on a lot in your younger years...I sort of feel like that right now.
I just got back yesterday from a nice ski/snowboard trip up at Blue Mountain with BinaryBitch. We had a good time, broken bodies and all We only went for a day due to the crazy rental/lift ticket cost, but I'm sure that was all my body could handle anyway. I do not know how to snowboard, so I fell many times. I can say one thing though, if it wasn't for Wii Fit, I would have fallen a lot more! I really improved my balance with that silly thing.
Still job searching. I've gotten 2 calls so far, and 1 interview. It was only for a 10 hour a week Saturday Sunday job. Ick. Hopefully I get a call back about this other job. It will have me working in Toronto...contract work, but it will get me by for a little while.
So overall, I'm trying to stay positive, but it has been difficult.

This past week I got my cunning Jayne hat in the mail. It is very shiny.
(Photo taken by: BinaryBitch)
I got it from THIS lovely little website. A lot of care was put into the making of this hat, I am impressed. It also came with a "Letter from my mom" (you have to see the episode to know what I'm talking about), in a nice little box filled with hay (again, like in the show).
(Squeek wanted to eat pretty much everything that came out of that box)
I'm still hunting for a job, at least I got the car insurance handled. I'm pretty pissed off about the fact that I was paying way more than I should have been last year, but at least I changed it now. It's a good rate, but it still leaves me in the position of having to find a job that brings in a BARE MINIMUM of $1100 per month, and that would leave me with barely enough money for gas and food. This economy thing is complete bullshit.
So, I'm still offering prints, I'll be on E-Bay selling more stuff soon (links are at the top of my page here). Every little bit counts, so PM me if you're interested in prints, and have a looky at my E-Bay auctions in the coming week.

Well, I haven't really let this community in on the terrible-ness of 2008...so I'm coming out with it.
A reflection on 2008:
January I reported that I had gotten a decent job, got a car again, happy happy joy joy.
Well, I lost that job in July, my fancy well paying foot-in-the-door job. I was sad, I was embarrassed. I felt worthless for a long time. I suppose this explains my absence from SG for pretty much the entire summer despite the few posts.
Not only had I lost my job, but due to the fact that said job had me sitting on my ass all day, I had put on weight, and pretty much hated myself at that point for a number of reasons.
I've been on Employment Insurance since. At the start, I had no desire to do anything. I hadn't hit rock bottom, but I certainly had no motivation to do anything but wait for that EI. At least I had some good friends around me to keep me distracted, but for a good long while, I mourned that job.
September I changed my hair, signed up for a couple of school courses, and thought that I was getting on track again. After a while I realized that I didn't get half the content in these said courses, and I soon lost my motivation.
I worked on my web server and web site, and I'm happy to say that it was probably my biggest accomplishment of 2008, if we aren't including those that failed miserably eventually (at least this one can't). Oh, and I lost 15lbs.
2008 ended with a rather enjoyable X-mas with the family, as well as an awesome New Year's Party.
Now, 2009, all I can think right now is "What the fucking shit am I going to do?"
The EI is running out in a week (I didn't realize it was so close), I've been scrambling to find a new job (unsuccessful so far). I need to re-new my license plate stickers ($), and my insurance ($$), and still manage to take care of the usual bills ($$$).
Of course, this is no surprise to me, but it is stressful as fuck. I have no idea how I'm going to do it without selling my car, which is going to limit my options for work quite a fair bit.
I read back to my old journal entries, and realized that I've been going in an utterly terrible "rut" (if I can call it that) for at least 5 years now. I'm saddened that things just haven't gotten better yet, or when they have been good it hasn't lasted for very long.
I don't know what I'm doing wrong, and I'm so tired.
