Current mood:

gloomy

It's been a while since my last update of substance...here's what has happened in the interim.

Interview fell through, I didn't get the job. I've been jobless now for over a year, and my outlook is grim. The hardest part is waiting the three months for my applications to clear from systems.

My birthday was great. I got almost everything I asked for, and the day went really well until dinner. We went to a local "Mexican" restaurant, and my dinner had something crunchy in it that reminded me of crustacean. Ew.

B's husband's birthday was next. Luckily, he's easy to shop for: I just buy things I would want. Plastic cowboys and indians, silly putty, and Pez.

Beyond the disappointment in the job market, and birthdays, I've been avoiding real life by playing video games. Played a bit of Rune Factory 2 (a fantasy Harvest Moon) and a lot of DSCute (Another Wonderful Life for DS).

Looking forward to next month, and the month after. The Sib's birthday is coming up, and I'm excited for it. It'll be great. I got my tax return, so I've been able to get her some great stuff. I also replaced my windshield wiper blades, put gas in my car, and bought some toys I've been wanting for a while. Pretty sweet.

I'm trying not to think too hard about anything. If I start thinking about real-life stuff, I cry becuse I feel hopeless. So I don't think. Instead, I focus on the internet, video games or reading. And that's the short of it- why I don't update with anything other than memes, or why I sometimes just don't update.
