Sup? Haven't written in forever (ok over exaggeration there).
So many things have happened since the last time I wrote. I feel pretty proud of myself so far with what I am accomplishing and what I shall accomplish. Thanks to help from my brother to push me in the right direction, I am now on the road to a healthier lifestyle (as my lack of being online indicates). Cutting down on the sugary foods and whatnot and so far I lost 15 pounds =^.^=. I'm below the weight I was for years woo! it's been a little hard with temptation lol but I'm working on it. Luckily I have my trusty Dance Dance Revolution game to keep me working out. Love that game so freakin' much.
Another thing I am proud of is my decision to not work so much and instead go to school. I don't know if maybe it was the Pursuit of Happyness' fault for inspiring me or if I was just fed up with working at Super Wal-Mart and crabby customers (stupid holiday season that lasted for over 3 months cause of Halloween, then Thanksgiving, then Christmas shopping and thankfully is now calmer and more tolerable). Pretty much if you haven't seen the Pursuit of Happyness (which you should see because it's such a beautiful movie and I don't think I've ever seen Will Smith act so well), then you might not fully understand what I mean.
Basically (lol George Lopez....sorry inside joke), I am taking classes to major in journalism and japanese, both great passion's of mine for I love languages and the written language. That's probably why I'm such a terrible speaker because I seem to express myself better with my fingers rather than my mouth. I stumble on words when I speak and can't explain what I am trying to convey most of the time lol it's pathetic. But when I write I feel this sense of freedom that only recently I have begun to gain again. I was stuck to long in a slump and finally I seemed to have gotten myself out. Maybe my diet has helped. Candy and soda's were only making it worse. Must have been some weird chemical imbalance lol. Now that I am eating healthier I am truly getting better concentration, more energy, and less depression stages (which happened more frequently despite having been "cured" during High School). Now if only I could regulate my sleep.......lol....
Anywho, in trying very hard to move forward in life, now I finally am beginning to see a future for myself, working hopefully one day for Viz Media (main company located 2 hours from where I live) and finally getting a career in working for magazines and doing it on the subject of manga and anime (because God forbid I ever take a job working for a snooty scandal magazine, fashion magazine, or gossip magazine like People and Cosmopolitan. I'd rather go back to Wal-Mart if that were the case).
Amazingly enough even my brother who I imagined would be the last to leave my mom's house is now working for the Army and in only a few months leaving to train and get educated at college thanks to them. I doubt he'll be enlisted to go to war or anything but I have faith that thanks to them he'll land a job, a good one, and get his own place even faster than my other brothers. The least likely is now the most likely lol.
So cheers to good health, hard work, determination, and getting out of a bad future. I wish you all the best (for who knows when I will be back here on LJ) and may God smile upon you all as He has smiled upon me though constant wishing and praying, with my own push to help.
Yours forever,
Jessica
P.S. I am still available on aim (InulovesKago) for those who are on my buddy list that I talk to. This entry has just been me perhaps departing from LJ (though I was never constant with it anyways like my real life journals). But perhaps we shall once again see each other in the future. And hey, look out for me in the future when my name starts appearing on Viz related materials like Shojo Beat or some random Viz licensed manga xDv. Look for the name Jessica Loera, comprenden? Till then, lots of love to you all. hopefully Palace/Balamb never dies but rather gains respect (community wise). I'll still be popping in for Inuyasha battles xDv. Take care.
