Life of the Social Recluse
Okay so it's been a long time since the last time I posted anything. I usually just never get around to writing anything for this thing but man.. it's been awhile.
I cancelled my myspace account due to the sheer annoyance of the website. I wasn't just having strangers spamming me for "please be my friends" I was having my own friends spam me with "you're a pirate" etc stuff. I decided that it just plain wasn't worth the email spam anymore. I like Livejournal better anyway.
Brad's eye is doing much better now. It still hurts him but it's not going to force him to go blind any time soon. We cancelled our latest appointment and decided to postpone it to see if anything changes. I'm sick of going to the retina specialist ($90 a trip), taking half a day off work for sitting around a waiting room for the doctor to spend 5 minutes saying "its not getting any worse". Bah.
College is going well. I just finished my third term and probably got a B in both classes again. I could probably get As if I really tried but given that I don't really need to be concerned over a GPA I haven't put too much weight into this. It's the participation grade that's hurting me mainly... having to be active on a discussion board where everyone basically repeats the same thing is rather foolish in my humble opinion. Bellevue is an okay college, I think I learned more from ECPI and I think my instructor is lazy given that we do a ton of peer-reviews instead of having him grade anything. I get little to no feedback on my work just a grade two weeks later so meh... fortunately I'm just in it for the piece of paper.
Brad is currently looking for a job. We tried the art thing for awhile but have decided that it just isn't the right time for it. He'll continue to do comissions on the side part-time but we're just not in a financial position right now to persue it full time. I'm trying to get a debt consolidation loan on a new financial plan to narrow my debt to my student loan and mortgage. My student loans are being defferred right now so I can concentrate solely on paying down some credit cards that I had to turn to when the whole medical crap happened.
I've been so anti social for so long it feels weird randomly calling friends up. I went and saw Mamma Mia with Ria the other day though and it was awesome. It was nice getting out of the house for a change! I'm hoping if I get this loan that I can afford to go out a little more especially if gas prices keep dropping.
I'm definately seeing the increase costs in the food department. Brad and I did our "big trip" a couple weeks ago and I spent nearly $200... I haven't spent that much since we first moved in and had to buy all the staples and stuff.
Nekocon is just around the corner. I feel guilty that I've kinda been incommunicado for so long but I'm trying to get back into the swing of things. Brad probably won't staff this year, I don't even know if he's planning on attending.
Anyway I guess its time for me to ignore this site for another 6 months! :D
