wow...long time no write
I have not written in this journal in about two years...wow. That is a LONG time. A REALLY long time.
So many things have happened since then. Okay well, not SO many things, but it certainly feels like it. I've graduated from university with a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature, I've continued being a youth group leader at my church, I've gone on a trip to Thailand and Cambodia with my brother (though I met him over there, since he'd been in Taiwan), I've made new friends, lost old ones, and kept the few who have been there and I think will be there, for the rest of my life.
My friend Carrie is still an AWESOME friend. She listens to me. We both make the effort to hang out at least once in every two week period. We talk more often than that, either by text, on MSN or on the phone. Most often (and easiest) on the phone. It's hard that she's working and I'm not, but at least we have the weekends.
Speaking of me not working, it's true. I have currently been unemployed for about...ohhh...2 or 3 months. It seems like MUCH longer. Especially when I have my dad going on and on and on and on and on and on and...well, you get the picture. He's certainly dedicated to me finding a job, but of course, thinks he knows best. I am getting SO SICK of him. Somebody...take me away!! Please.
I'm on the unemployment benefit though. My dad insisted, so I could pay him board, since I'm not studying anymore. So I pay $75 a week. And right now, since I kinda wanted to get some real exercise and The Warehouse (good ol' Warehouse, where I worked for almost three years...) had bikes on special. So I got my dad to buy one, and I'm slowly paying him back. $20 a week, on top of my board. *sigh* Life certainly seems as if it's all about money right now, especially since I also have new lenses for my glasses to be paying for any day soon, World Vision sponsership and health insurance going out of my account every month... Dentist bills, having to pay to sit my full driver's licence test... You get the picture. Plus the things I actually WANT. Which I can't always give into... *sigh*
Anywho, I'm still writing. Sort of. There was a long time during uni that I wasn't. Writer's block, I suppose. I still don't write all the time, but my novel is coming along, slowly. Next time I might even post a little in here, so anyone interested can read it. If there IS anyone interested...
I should go. Breakfast (well, my stomach) calls. I shall not wait so long to post again, though. Much love to everyone.
