[Meme Silliness]
Day One: Ten things you want to do some day.
Day Two: Nine things about yourself.
Day Three: Eight qualities you think are awesome in other people.
Day Four: Seven (semi)interesting things you've pondered or thought about recently.
Day Five: Six things you are glad you did.
Day Six: Five books/movies/tv series/etc that you'd recommend.
Day Seven: Four silly quirks.
Day Eight: Three pet peeves.
Day Nine: Two things for which you're proud of yourself.
Day Ten: One secret plan.
In a desperate attempt to be done with this before 2014, I'll roll the last two questions into one post! MADNESS I KNOW.
1) My pride in this may be misguided, as it has a LOT to do with luck-of-the-draw, other people, and life circumstances beyond my control, but: I'm pretty damn proud of myself for having my shit together (for the most part). I'm overall pretty healthy, have a full-time job, a working car, and a wee teeny condo in a decent area. I have a lovely life full of awesometastic peoples, and an interesting and healthy (if time-intensive!) hobby. I can afford food and my bills, have enough left over for pets and to help support a housemate in going to school full-time, and regularly force myself to get out of the house and do something social through my little "Big Blue Box" outings. Yeah, shit happens sometimes, and I'm a whiny little bitch when it does, but I really do like the little life I have. :)
2) tashewolf has nominated my second Proud Thing to be my multi-year self-improvement project. I don't talk about it much here (as this is the Gaming LJ), but for the last few years I have been actively trying to work on Owning My Shit(tm), Dealing With My Shit(tm), and otherwise trying to make continual teeny improvements in all appropriate aspects of my life - I've got a hell of a way to go, mind, but the fact that I'm doing it at all, and have been for years, and am seeing results in wee encouraging ways = a win. *shakes fist*
If one identifies "secret" in terms of "something not widely known" rather than told to no one...
1) I have a new job. This is good! What is kinda seekrit is that this new job is specifically meant to challenge and re-engage me, and remind my brain how to think quickly and absorb new information, so I can become smart enough again to go back to school!
It's my hope to go back to school full-time in about two years or so, to get a Master's Degree in Social Work, with a "track focus" on client counseling, so I can someday NOT work in customer service, and instead make people and their woeful brain-meats feel better.
THAT'S THE PLAN
RULE THE WORLD HAPPIER BRAIN-MEATS FOR ALL
WOO
