(no subject)
Since last time (Yeah, I mentioned the frequency of LJ'ing was going to shoot up, didn't I :$):
* Pretty lonely, and sad over my current life situation. Intend to fix it. I need to take charge of this great change in circumstances (ie, singledom) and use it as an opportunity for growth. Brute force and willpower are coming in to play here.
* Still pretty amazed I haven't hidden in a hole somewhere and moped like I usually do after relationships. I don't know what's happened in the last 5 (!) years or so, hopefully I've matured and shit.
* Gotta talk to kat about how we're going to separate our possessions. I bet my fish tank ends up living in manchester with her ;_; pretty sad about that. Most of my shit is going to go in to storage, though, until I get a place of my own - which makes me pretty sad as well. Oh well. Was in storage yesterday trying to free some space and binning old shit.
* Got word from Owen a couple days ago, apparently he's going to come pay me a visit, so that'll be nice.
* Oh, my new driving license arrived yesterday. Since I don't actually drive, and only use it for ID, it's not that important (esp since I got a passport for that) but it's nice to know I can now buy alcohol again (yes, I still get carded).
* I worked out a few days ago that I'm actually 29, not 28. I spent a good 4 months thinking I was 28. :| man! (PS. GEES I AM SO DENSE)
* Expanded the fuzzer's corpus quite significantly (not sure if I lj'ed this earlier or not?). I downloaded like 5000 files, and out of those are using about 1500 or so at the moment. I bet that increases code coverage quite significantly.
* Trying to work out how to juggle all my stuff now that I'm back at mum's place. Most of it'll go in to my storage bay, but that's a pain in the ass to get to so I want to keep a lot of stuff accessible in my bedroom. Tricky to work out what, though. Also I bet I have to bin quite a lot of other stuff in order to fit it all in to storage. I might end up going to the scrapyard with a load of stripped metal again.
* Speaking of scrapyards, I've pulled a load of old copper pipe up from under the floorboards. I've been putting network (and TV) cabling in at my mum's place over the last week or so, and while I was in there I found a load of the old and unused pipes from before we had the boiler replaced, so I spent a bit extra getting them all out. I dunno, it seems 'incorrect' somehow to have these pipes doing nothing and just sat there.
* Money is becoming a big issue for me. Mum's obviously the safety net but I don't like having to ask her for money or live here for free so I'm trying to find sustainable ways of getting money in. Hopefully the business can get some in but I'm skeptical both over its chances of pulling in enough for me to move out and over how sustainable it is - there's no safety net there, if I move out and then business stops, then I'm a bit stuck for rent.
* Mum wants to get a new fish tank! I think this is partly sympathy for me since mine is likely to stay in Manchester, but I can live with that. It'll probably work out that she buys a tank, and I set it up and take care of it, then leave it here when I move out, which is good for me!
