Time to revive my old LJ blog
It's been a long, long time since I last visited LJ. I must admit that Facebook really took away the 'urge' to write here. So easy to share brief status updates on Facebook, something which I used to do on here, that my LiveJournal blog really became a forgotten dusty corner on the internet, filled with virtual cobwebs no doubt.
Still, part of me missed this blogging, and I've tried various blogsites, such as Blogger or WordPress, but they were... too open. And I didn't feel comfortable sharing all my thoughts and feelings on such an open blog. Unless you kept it private, but what's the use of that? Things have also... not been going great the past few months and I noticed more and more the urge to 'go back in time'. I've been listening to Weiß Kreuz, something I haven't done for years and really reflects my life when I was 16 - 18 years old. I've had the urge to rewatch various anime - again something I haven't done for many years. I'm currently rewatching Sailor Moon and thinking back of those good old days in 2006 and St. Catherine's RPG...
So in a way, I suppose it was natural to feel the urge to look up my old LJ blog, maybe dust it off and start afresh. Sort of afresh; I'm not going to delete any of the old posts I have, since every word written in this blog is a part of me. But I am going to try and visit this place more often, post again more frequently and I've revamped my Friend's list. Because most of my friends... well, I haven't been in touch with them for years or they are no longer updating their LJ. Either way, aside from sailornash, I've decided to throw everyone off my friend's list and start again. Of course, I'll add you back in a sec if you'd want that! :D Just let me know if you're interested in getting back in touch with me!
Anyway, I won't bore anyone - mostly myself... - with longwinded rants over being unemployed and facing this hopeless situation on my own. Right now, I just have one Christmas list I'd like to post...
Dear Santa,
I know Christmas is only two weeks away, but I'd like to ask a few things for Christmas, if that's possible. I don't really want any tangible gifts this year. What I'd really want, though, are...
- A job. Any job I can handle will do, even flipping burgers at MacDonalds or Burger King, as long as I can earn the absolute minimum wage with it needed to support myself.
- A backbone and/or some self confidence for the rest of my life. My current supply of self confidence seems to have dried up and I lost my backbone somewhere during university, so I'd be very pleased if at least one of those two things could be restocked again. I kinda need them when applying for jobs and such.
- And if it's possible - though this can be left out if the other two presents already cost too much - the courage and enthusiasm to start going to the gym (once I've got a job), start with dieting and lose at least 20 kilos during 2013. I really need that due to health problems. I want to keep on dancing, but currently my weight ruins my legs so... yeah... I'd love it if this one fits under the Christmas tree as well.
- And as one final request... I'm looking for an online RP. But I've survived without it for the past 3 years, I'm sure another year won't hurt me. ^^;
Thank you, Santa, especially if you can get me all of these intangible items, but really... only the top two are necessary!
