9th March?

Wow.

Long time.

Who's still here? I've pretty much been able to be caught up with on the usual channels but I am tempted to find out.

May even have to update!

*waves meekly*

Hai there. Who remembers me?

Seriously though, owe you all an update soon but for now lists.

worried about: parents, money, moving, work, my body (on multiple levels)
excited for: moving, Avengers.

So much in my head at the moment I'm expecting it just to explode leaving bits everywhere but hey, thats not new is it.

But yes. Say hi :) Miss a lot of ya ;)

Thinking of an lj cull.

Just in case i bother, comment even just the word 'comment' if you have any interest in being able to keep in touch. Then I'll know who to kick out of here.

/peek

So it turns out I still have one of these things, who knew?

Sorry for the lack of updates, I really do suck in that regard so hope you're all doing well - although many of you have me added elsewhere. Nothing really has changed to keep you up to date with - job, parents etc.

Doing some blogging and reviewing to build that up.

I'm going to attempt to think of random things to post here about, but yes. Mostly? I'm alive. how are YOU? Each and every one of you.

hugs all around.

I've had enough.

I'm spending all my time applying for jobs, i think last count between sessions at the job centre was 20+ - thats a two week period.

Noone gets back to me. The JC continues to 'try to help' while also being a soul sapping place. I then get my parents on my back about when am I going to get a job. Only its not always when am I going to get one, its when am I going to look for one as well apparently. I'm ridiculously fucked off right now.

-I'm too experienced for normal retail, shelf stacking and secretarial - or so I'm told.
-In management I don't have the titles despite doing the job for the last company i worked for for what seemed like an eternity. No I did the higher job, for the lesser wage, no promotion, what a waste of time that was. I LITERALLY single handedly kept that department of that store in the black. For nothing.
-I'm a GOOD writer but dont have an agent or the ability to sell myself properly for novel writing.
-Also in writing and photography I don't have the experience necessary so I don't even get a response in journalism.

I've applied for photography jobs, retail jobs, admin, clerical. I just don't know what to do anymore and i don't know how to fix it.

It's been a year now. Almost to the day.

oh, ps. The Job Centre hasn't paid me this month.

I should stop this before I get any more worried comments.

The previous was about something that cannot be fixed. Ever.
I just get really torn up at this time of year. Thank you for worrying about me.

I'm okay. This isn't something I need to talk out.

Again, love you all, don't worry :)

You'd think I could deal better with this by now.

Guess I never will

Off to see LostProphets tonight with Karen.

At some point I should write a list of every gig/performance I've been to as I had only seen one live performance (by Kane) before I started seeing her. Needless to say, if you know her, you'll know that number has shot up over the past 5 years.

Looking forward to it.

Invite has also turned up to the wedding of 2010. That of the Pellwoods on 13th June. *makes note on calendar and in phone*

So as my Ames said, I haven't been updating properly again.

So whats been going on.

Have spent the weekend with Karen, as is always nice and i feel sad when i dont get to. Since the weather has decided to go snowy on us again I'm glad we managed to get her here on Friday as she needed to leave early today.

Been a nice weekend which included a horribly failed raid on WoW, my first viewing of Scream - yes ever - and my getting to see The Circus performance by Take That on Karen's DVD.

As far as work goes, I appear to have been utterly ignored in my job application for Apple. This saddens me for a number of reasons and I guess thats just another step on my working career or lack thereof. As Karen and I discussed recently, any job that requires retail experience recently seems to be overlooking me despite the fact that I'm FAR more qualified and able than - in most cases - their entire staff. We decided this is because students/younger people can be manipulated, used and paid less. Me? Its looking like I need a management position if I am to go back to retail. In the meantime, web design jobs, admin, photography and writing jobs dont seem to show any interest due to no official experience. This I understand more, and is unfortunate.

Needless to say, this is somewhat depressing for me and I don't know where I'd be without my better half keeping me sane :) She truly is my rock.

I've set up various blogs to try and get me writing again. Even if its gibberish, which is why this place has been so quiet, as I feel only this type of update should be here. Many wont care what I'm doing with WoW or Final Fantasy, others wont want to see my icons or writing, so i figure if I write anything of note I can just attach the links.

And don't worry, when asked about leadership experience, I am not telling them about experiences as a guild leader ;)

ttfn, hope you're all well.
