Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Joyous Kwanza, Warmest Belated Yule/Solstice all! (Also: since it was pointed out, I had a grand oversight and forgot Chanuka. So enjoy the festival of lights smile )

This holiday season has been really great for me the last while. I got my money back from the place that shall remain known only to me as that former employer, I spent some...

I want to thank everyone who has sent me positive messages over the last while. you've all be wonderfully supportive and it's been incredibly helpful.

Today is the first day of the rest of my life.

I quit my job today. I've tried to quit before in the past and always got talked down, but this time I was able to stay resolute.

I was put on Effexor for a while. They also gave me a prescription for Ambian since sleeplessness is a common side effect

So I couldn't make it to the tattoo con because I was a-workin'. No happy-birthday present for me. Ah...looks like I just have to make another trip down to Edmonton.

Thank you everyone for the birthday wishes. All were very kind and sweet.

Speaking of which, I look like a friendless folk on Myspace, so go be my friend.

I know how distant I...

Ah too bad about work. It sucks but you gotta make a living some how whatever
Been a while since I've been here as well but I was rather pleased to see that you had a new set up. Stunning as ever. And looks like I'm back just in time for another one as well. Lucky me biggrin
boogalooshrimp:
Haven't heard from you in a while. Been playing anything good lately? It's been Bully and Disgaea 2 (still) for me lately.

Apparently birthdays are a big deal.

I don't get them, generally. I find that they're generally quite funny - congrats for living this long/being born.

I really ought to buy my mother flowers. It was her hellish day, really. I think I'll do that.

PS - I really, really, really need to find the time to shoot a new set gorramit!

Yes, I'm actually still alive.

I worked some 240 hours last month, and I freaking LOVE my job.

My nipple piercing had to come out. Again. After I got then pierced. Again. Why? I got a strange lump in my boob from it. Again. *le sigh*

Lavonne is fucking fun to hang out with. She always knows great places to eat.

Anyways, I'm off....

I think I'm starting to learn how to read the Universe.

Seriously.

Before I made the decision to move back to Calgary, the Universe made it exceedingly uncomfortable for me in Edmonton. In the rundown,


  • my cat died

  • my car broke down

  • my car cost $450 to fix

  • my car got stolen 2 days after the fix

  • my recovered car was trashed and needed some...

I am so glad you enjoyed the new Alexsandria Shoot. Check out my journal for behind the scenes.
jako:
Sorry to hear all of that :-S My dog dieed a week ago, I hope you'll manage getting over your cat! Last x-mas one of my cats dieed as well. As for the car... damn that's pretty fucked up. But now you do have a good reason to sell it and get one of those nice racing bikes (I'd prefer a Honda FireBlade 1000 RR) ;D It would suit you though!

Hope you'll manage kiss

So I got the job.

Yay me!

I'm a little busy. This job was wonderfully immediate. Small startups...well, they demand a lot of attention. 2.5 days of work and I've logged some 25 hours. And -I- haven't been comparatively busy.

Anyways, it's a great concept, I love it, I believe in it and I think, really think, ya'll should join. Also: If you see an...

Congrats! smile
captainsteve:
Wow congratulations! That place seems pretty damn cool and it would be cool to be a part of it before it explodes. I was telling a few people I know about it after you mentioned it. We may get together some weekend and throw something together to put up there.

So Cambrian House launched today. It's damn cool - hell, the office tour is lead by the Queen. Yes, the queen.

Ya'll should join. That way, when the site does launch, we can create our own SG comrade group.

They still haven't hired me, but they called me in for a 2nd interview.

Audience participation time!

I just got a shitload of new IKEA furniture and I think that buying it may be my new favourite past time as well...

This morning I had an interview at a new startup by the name of Cambrian House. I'd seriously love working in such an environment, and I think the conecpt is absolutely brilliant.

I hope I get the job.

Yes, I've been absent. I will be for a little while more. I'm moving into my new place. I'm getting the shakes from not having internet. It's...

good luck with the job! I spend all of my spare time (unless I am drinking out) online, so I completely understand. When my mailbox lights up, my heart pounds! It's usually just spam. Then I get really sad and listen to depressing music until something good shows up smile
ugh, I need a dental plan BADLY! blackeyed

I'm in for some Settlers. smile

Come to my BBQ on Canada Day.

It's low-key, fewer people, and it would be cool to meet people who didn't come last year...
masquerade:
Good for you! I bailed on my U of A convocation. I went to the U of C one, but the second one lacked the...attraction...of the first.

News...hmm...went to a bridal shower thrown by my mother-in-law exclusively for her friends. My mom and sister were there but that's it. Older ladies I didn't really know (some of whom I'd never even met before) bought me material goods I didn't really need or want. Fun? whatever
