Life

3 min read
It's hectic, irrational, and mostly unpredictable.

Really, I wish I could say 'hey guys, all's well, I'll be more active soon' but it's not, but it's not horribly bad either.

Going back to about a week before my birthday, I was involved in a hit and run collision (would say accident, but looking back, that poor excuse of a human being wasn't sorry at all for hitting me), which ended up with me getting a new car, under my name and all. So I have more bills, yay adulthood! :dummy: The previous car was owned by my father, and the only car I had until this year, so reason why I'm just starting to pay car bills. Super excited for my car though, it's not flashy or new, just an average 2000 Ford Taurus. Love that thing so far.

Second life update, I did it! Did what you say, well got my resume all fleshed out and finished. I've been dragging my feet doing it because 1: I hate selling myself, 2: I forgot pretty much my whole career history, 3: I really do hate selling myself. But when work has a lot of turmoil going on, I mean bosses yelling at each other turmoil, I think it's a prefect time to hit the road. In fact when I finished my resume, I was extremely happy, giddy almost. Started applying to other jobs today and will be continuing all this week, which this part is making me giddy.

Another thing why I'm looking for another job is in America, outsourced inventory season is coming to an halt soon; holiday season is among us. I will really have no work, which to me is 'meh', I've been running around these last 9 months feeling like I've been used and then tossed aside many times, having some time off to actually enjoy my life with family and friends is kind of nice. But really, going back to my car payment, on top of loans and a credit card, I can't afford down time. So time for another job.

I really did make my job life sound like a living hell, but it could have been worse, a whole lot worse. I mean if the car that hit me was just an inch (a few centimeters) to the right, I could have seriously hurt to the point I couldn't type this. I could have lost my job months ago, heck I could have become the new area manager for all I care, which at that point I would have totally quit. I guess it's just easy to explain the worse, because once I wrote it all down, I felt better, speaking about it makes one feel better. The good I got out of these past months, friends that I wouldn't give up the world for from both my past and from work; a new car that is 99% mine (until I get that loan paid off); many coworkers who tell me that if it wasn't for me and taking my time to actually make them feel welcome and teach them how the company works, would have given up months ago.

I've learned a lot, and sadly me becoming more active is still a bit off. Really, I don't know when I'll be able to do a lot of stuff now. Life is just funny that way.

I wanted to say shot, but the strike tag doesn't work in the title box. >:1
Anywho, was tagged by Art-Zealot and this looks like fun.

The Rules


1. Post these rules.
2. Post 5 unknown facts about your SH character.
3. Tag 3 other characters.
4. Post their names along with their creators' avatars.

Adelaide

1. Adelaide speaks with a deaf accent, because she's Hard of Hearing (HoH) since entering Sybal Heim. She has a hard time understanding if/when someone speaks too fast, whispers, or sometimes when a person isn't talking directly to her. At night, her accent changes since she can clearly hear herself now, and can understand if someone speaks fast or talking away from her; but she usually can't pick up on whispers around her. whispers are also the best way to question why she's copying since most likely she won't hear that

2. This is kind of related to the first one, Adelaide is easily spooked. Since her hearing is compromised, she relies more on her sight and touch senses. If someone came up behind her without getting her attention first (pretty much yelling/speaking very loudly), will make her jump. Walking around a corner, instant spook. The random spider like thing crawling on her chair/couch, burn the thing.

3. Chickens are her least favorite farm animal because they get into anything and everything. She does make some delicious chicken dishes btw.

4. Winter is her favorite season, because of snow. She does tend to her land a bit, but when what little work she does is done, she's usually instigating snowball fights with friends who come to visit. Of course she won't just randomly throw snow at those who hate it, she's not that rude.

5. Despite corn and anything made of corn being her favorite food, her least favorite corn product is corn bread. Unless it's baked into something else (stuffing, bread pudding), or soaked in butter/butter and jam, she really won't eat it. It's a texture thing really.

I have no clue whose been tagged or not, since this apparently spread like wildfire. Um...... I don't know, I really don't know who to tag. :'1  Those who haven't done it I guess. Yeah, that sounds good to me.

I Have a Joke

2 min read
I'm alive. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

Good one I know.

But yeah, I'm still alive; work is finally coming to a slow trickle, which is good and bad (mostly bad), and yes I am moving. I'm not moving east though, more north, to Pullman Washington area, maybe Troy Idaho, I don't know. Aaaand I might have a job, well I do have a job up there, but I might have a better one if all works out.

Really, my life hasn't slowed down what so ever, work is being replaced with cleaning and packing, and cleaning and packing will be replaced with moving, as early as one month. So I can't really take time out of my life to just sit down and relax that much anymore.

Actual good news though, I HAVE A NEW TABLET. It's a Monoprice, and got it for about 40% off, which was a good deal. Haven't played with it much, but this last few days kind have been a break, so decided to get some art projects and work on them. I haven't drawn with a tablet in a long time, and it all kind of feels weird to draw on something that isn't paper with something that isn't a pen/pencil. Give it time, I'll get used to it again.

Really, I feel kind of like I'm my internet days/life died, and really I have no control over it. Sorry guys, I'll try better (not making promises), and all in all, I actually do miss you guys (like I haven't said that a million times over). Hopefully with all this job/moving/life stuff actually truly comes to a simmer, I'll be back. Until then, I have to roll with the punches.

The year is coming to a close, work is starting to get hectic, and so far next year looks a bit scary.

Recap, 2015 was an okay year; one dog, five deaths, two births, two graduations, a few marriages, and I got an official job. All in all, it was a very meh year indeed. 2016 now, that's a bit frightening. Not that I'm terrified of the unknown, but of a possible future which looms over my head.

A few months ago my father lost his job, about half of the household income. Long story short, a company in Kansas has interest in him, and is currently doing interviews (he's on his 3rd). If it turns out he gets the job, we're moving. I would love to stay behind, but barely have any money for rent alone, so any money for pretty much food/mission/emergencies would be gone. Clear choice is to follow my parents and see where my life goes from there.

Really, 2016 is going to be a busy year.

Autumn Updates

3 min read
It's coming to the end of the year, and I feel like I should inform you all what is going on in my life so far.

So my job so far is both joyful and stressful. Sadly we're coming up on the holiday season which is the slowest season for my job. Stores really don't want people in to do inventory and during this time of year, they want people in that will shop. Although come January I will have no days off because all stores will want their inventory done for the beginning of the year and taxes.

Other updates, I have no more cats. Our old cat Boo finally kicked the bucket; we knew she was going to go anytime soon, she was suffering from hyperthyroid for about a year before she died. Emma and Henry though, our two outdoor cats, kind of died unexpectedly most likely to accidental poisoning. On top of this, Raspberry died also; she had an abscess that the vet and I thought was getting better, but after two months it came back with vengeance and couldn't be cured. Sorry for the sad news, and I just needed to get that off of my chest.

Onto happy news, I am losing weight which is a good thing, and saving up for a mission is still a go. I also talked to close friends and family and decided that I should pursue a different major. So instead of being a Math major, I am going into Biophysics with a minor in Microbiology. If I still decide to become a teacher I can teach both science and math with this degree. At the same time if I decide I want to work elsewhere, I can work for both the engineering and medical field. It  kind of makes me happy, coming from the kid who used to dissect dead animals for fun... morbid aren't I.

Really, I'm doing well. I could wish that it would be a little bit less depressing, but that's life. You have to take both the good and the bad, even if the bad sometimes that outweighs the good. I wouldn't give it up for a second chance though, so much good happened around me with my friends and family. IrisHime graduated college, Meemzer had a beautiful baby girl, I have a new neice, my family got a dog and I still have Pixel. And still excited to see Evios in person when his bae brings him home to Idaho.

The future is still bright!
