Blog: This is my life now
So. Here we go.
I've decided to start blogging again, mainly because I don't have anything else to do. I don't have very many friends here on LJ, so I don't even have to worry about spamming people, haha. Maybe that will change over time? I dunno. I'm gonna post the links to these on my Facebook (and on Google+ if I EVER get one), so maybe some of my RL friends will be interested?
I don't know. I have no illusions: most people don't care about my life. Whatever, I'll live.
So, I'm twenty years old, I just flunked out of college, but I haven't yet left my apartment near campus. It's a, erm... volatile roommate situation, let's just say that. Tensions are running high, and while I do genuinely like my roommates, I think we might be getting sick of living with each other.
Not a lot of people know that I flunked out of school. That's not going to be my official story, but I'm going for honesty on this blog, so... you lucky readers, should you ever exist, will get the truth. Anyone who asks me otherwise will be told that I'm not going back to school in the fall because I didn't care for it and it wasn't really working out for me. And hey, that's not even a lie. It's just... not the full truth.
So Emma, you ask (again, I'm assuming that this will be read by at least one person at some point), what ARE you going to do with your life?
Well, I'm going to move back home, for starters. I don't quite know when that's going to happen. Before the end of August for sure, because that's when the lease is up. But I may choose to move back before that, depending on the situation in my apartment. We have six people and a hamster living there, in a two bedroom. The hamster is the only one with his own room. Add to that the fact we all tend to talk about each other behind people's backs... well, you can imagine.
Once I'm home, I'm going to seek out a job. This is much easier said than done. I have not been employed in two years. But if I'm not going to be in school, I'd damn well better have a job. Otherwise I'll feel like a COMPLETE failure.
But don't worry- I don't plan to just slave away in minimum-wage obscurity. Oh no. I also plan to, for the first time in my life, make an actual, concentrated effort to write a novel. So we'll see where that goes. I won't talk about it now because I imagine I'll be going on about it an awful lot later. (In case you hadn't realized, I also plan to blog quite a bit.)
In addition, I also plan to loose weight. Like... at least twenty pounds before next August. Why am I giving myself that long, you ask? Well, direct your attention to my icon. Do you see that sexy bald woman? That is Asajj Ventress, and I would like very much to cosplay her at next summer's Star Wars convention. I've attended the last two US Celebrations (which is what the official Star Wars cons are called), both times dressing as a sort of generic Jedi. Although my costume was a LITTLE more individual last time... I still wasn't supposed to be anyone specific. And Ventress is awesome, as I have belatedly realized. I'd very much like to put a costume together (I can't really sew very well, but that's a minor concern at the moment), but there's no WAY I'm doing it without loosing weight.
So, those are my plans and goals for the moment. Um... watch this space, I guess, and we'll see where this goes. Until then... peace.
