(no subject)
Okay, so i haven't posted in a while, mostly because i couldn't bring myself to. It's not that i haven't done anything, but school ended and it's bloody impossible to get a job around here so i'm kindof depressed about it. There's nothing to do. It really doesn't help that my brother got offered a job by a family friend, and that he's constantly, 'oh, I've got a job, why don't you?' He doesn't know how hard it is to get one over summer... he really got lucky. There are just so many students around here, that all want work. The alternative is to go on the dole, but i don't want to. Mum's pestering me to do it, and it is about six hundred dollars for the four weeks i'd be eligible for it... but i just don't want to.
Mum had this big blow up about it just before Christmas. She said i should go in and get the application done. One of the conditions of getting the money is that you have to be able to start work immediately. She left for work in a huff, and when she got home, i told her that. She shut up, because we were going on holiday, and i wouldn't fit the criteria, and i'd lose it.
McD's don't want to employ me, the job shortage is that bad....
okay, so a few interesting things have happened to me over the last few weeks. it was the first three weeks of december that sucked. It's also be the last three weeks of january. First week of february i might be learning how to paraglide (my dad is) and on the 11th of february i'm leaving for University, due to arrive (we're road tripping) on the 16th/17th. Formal lectures start the week after...
Anyway, interesting stuff.
I got to go up in an iroquois helicopter. My dad's a pilot in the airforce, flying choppers, and every year they have an open day where they'd take up the kids and spouses. Flying at 500ft, with nothing but a seatbelt between you and the ground - hell. If that's what Max and Co feel like, everyone (including JP) are so writing it wrong.
Went on holiday down to a nice little town called picton. We flew down in brother's bosses plane (the boss is loaded. really.) We stayed there with the aunt and uncle, who were renting a place for christmas/new years. My grandparents were there too, and my cousin and his girlfriend Jacinta, who's quite nice. My uncle goes up to picton every year to go diving in the Sounds. For Scallops, and because i've got my dive ticket, I went down twice, both times with my cousin, and picked up scollops. It's kinda boring, really. There's nothing in the 11-18m region but silty mud and the occasional scallop. The highlight was seeing a ray. And there was that fish... either way, there are now scallops in the freezer.
I got a laptop for christmas. The sad thing is, it's more powerful than the PC i'm typing on now. Also got a cellphone, a decent one. With colour screen. My old one didn't have that, it was so craptacular.
I'm working on fic...
There's a new one, an Eraser fic featuring Ursula. It's all set out in my head, i just have to write it... six pages so far, and maybe a quarter through it. And it's supposed to be a three-shot. Yeah, right.
Old stuff: misunderstood is looking slightly wilted from lack of attention. It's not that i don't like the story, it's just that i haven't got back into Iggy's head yet.
Aquarius II resembles roadkill.
EID (WIAA3) is still sorta here, but the Ari in my head is the suethorfic!Ari. Because you can't read a story without him turning up, despite the MR3 nice!Ari canonicity. (the rest of MR3 sucked). Decent Ari will be back soon!!
That's all folks.
