Update on real life shit...
I got an email and a FB notice about someone inviting me to join Queerbook, the hell? It's a sister site to Facebook, for gay pride apparently. Err, I never even filled out the 'interested in:' part of my profile on Facebook, and the only gay groups I'm a fan of are activism/human rights ones, so I don't know how that happened.
Just a little FYI for people I'm friends with on FB, my family still doesn't know, and I'd like to keep it that way. ^^; All the posts you guys can see about anything having to do with my sexuality or even anything with curse words or would be offensive to extremely conservative evangelical Christians is custom locked so my family can't see it, so no invites to Pride on my wall ne? XD Not that anyone even knows when Pride is going to be here this year yet, although Kings Island's Pride Night has already been announced for this September. LOL, rainbow sno-cones and funnel cake!
Not much going on with me, I've just been having more health issues. I got yet another antibiotic Wednesday though, which seems to be helping, although it's making me nauseous since it has to be taken on an empty stomach, blech. It's going to make me better though, must stay positive!
I've been working on hoodie commissions too, albeit slowly because I've been so sick. I've also been pounding the pavement looking for a real job since I haven't heard anything from either the kennel (which seemed like a shitty place anyways, hello unhealthy noise levels!), or Kings Island (although they said it could be a few weeks because their season doesn't start until April).
I applied for a library job. I probably have zero chance of getting it, but boy would it be nice if I could. It's basically a reference/counter assistant position and pays anywhere from $13-19 an hour, and has benefits even for part timers, do want! I do have experience working in a library setting (work study in college and high school library), but they're looking more for customer service skills anyways. I know I could wow them in an interview, I can be charming and charismatic as all get out, but these days just getting an interview is hard since the whole application process is so impersonal. I used to get all my jobs by randomly walking into places and chatting with the management, but since everyone does online apps now? Yeah, I'm boned, or so it seems. Gotta keep trying though, lord knows I don't want to open commissions again or I'll start to hate sewing so much that I'll never cosplay again.
My weight loss continues and I'm down to about 145 now, which leaves 20 pounds left to go...probably. It's hard to tell because I am gaining muscle as well from the weight lifting/push-ups/pull-ups. Size wise, I'm between a size 8 and 10 in women's clothing depending on brand and style, and about a size 30 in mens, only because of my stupid hips, my waist is only about 27". I had to quit doing P90X because of my health issues, but hopefully once this infection clears up I can start it again. It's easy to get discouraged because I wanted to have all the weight off by now, but considering I was 100 pounds heavier at this time last year? I'm not beating myself up too badly, I've just gotta keep on keepin' on. XD
I've seen some entries and posts on Facebook inquiring about A&G Ohio plans. I doubt I'll be going, even though it is local and I could probably get away without buying a badge. With the way my health has been, it'd be stupid to put myself in an environment where I'll almost certainly contract some sort of communicable illness. Even people without immune impairments seems to get 'con crud' at those things, and I'm still recovering from Ohayocon, so no thanks. I'll see everyone at Dragon*Con or maybe Colossalcon since it's the weekend before my birthday. You will not recognize me, I will be thin and ripped by then, haha.
Alrighty, treadmill time!
