// Life is a fucking trip. 🐋 💙 💦
First of all, I can't even believe any of this is still here. The last time ANYONE posted was 2010. PEOPLE, THAT'S ALMOST TEN YEARS AGO. Way to persist, Livejournal!
I can't wait to post a bunch of shit NO ONE WILL EVER READ!!
Going through my old stuff was absolutely terrible. I've deleted most of it, and I'll probably edit even more. Seriously? The Tragic Kingdom? Seriously? No wonder no one wanted to fucking date me. I was a giant gaping asshole.
Let's catch up.
❄ [ Now it's time to get busy. Since being fired was completely irrational almost any way you look at it, the government is granting me unemployment benefits. I'll be getting a part-time serving job for a little extra cash, and I'll be taking more classes, therefore finishing school and getting my Associates in Veterinary Technology much sooner than originally planned. With all this free time I'll be able to get back to art--drawing, writing, everything I love and never had the time for while working 40 hours and going to school half-time. My dream of livin' in a beach house on Key West & driving my Vespa to work while my numerous animals chill at the crib isn't as far away as I thought it was. ]
I never got my degree. I didn't get a fucking serving job, either. I worked at a Grooming Salon called Club Mutts for three years. I did every Vet Tech course except Surgery / Anesthesia, Comp Review, and Lab / Exotic Animals. I reached my aggregate limit and the Government would no longer lend me college money, so in order to continue, I would have had to take out loans to ... pay for loans ... ? Big fuck that. By this time I had lost all motivation, and straight up quit. Don't regret it, either. Argosy closed maybe two weeks ago in the middle of a semester and they can't transfer anyone's credits, since they're assholes. Cool, since I still owe the Government 90+ K in loans. Real cool. Cool cool cool cool cool cool cool cool cool.
Then I got fired again! Lol! Got unemployment that time, too. The owner was crazy, did something crazy, and fired me because I called her out. Woops! Sucks for her! Then I worked at a kennel for a hot minute and it was an ABSOLUTE SHIT SHOW, HATED IT SO MUCH, WANTED TO DIE EVERY DAY,
THEN I GOT HIRED BY WESTGATE PET CLINIC.
For five years, it's been my dream job. I've been a receptionist there and more recently in the last two years a Veterinary Assistant. The last few months have been terrible, thanks to management hiring four brand new fucking idiots all at fucking once, and I don't want to get into it. I'm looking for another Veterinary job and clinics are actually seeking me out, since I have such great experience. Have an interview this Monday, April 1st.
But my dream of livin' on a beach house on Key West & driving my Vespa to work while my numerous animals chill at the crib is much farther off than I seemed to think it was in 2010. Nearly impossible, actually. I don't think I knew how much beach houses on Key West actually cost back in 2010? FYI, it's millions. Millions of dollars. Lol! Cool! Cool cool cool cool cool cool cool cool cool.
Plus AJ (whom, I've realized since raising this journal from the land of the dead, has stayed with me since my last journal entry almost ten years ago, that poor, sad old man) hates Florida? So, how am I gonna get him to move there with me?
I'm not.
kevinaswell is still a really good friend of mine. (I told him I found his old Livejournal and he promptly deleted it. Hahahahahaha) We are even making a game together.
https://tpetrichor.itch.io/cantstaycantgo abandoned me for Jesus. Lol. Cool. Cool cool cool cool cool cool cool cool cool cool. We wrote a book together before that happened though, I guess.
Which brings me to the FUCKING TRAGIC KINGDOM L O L O LO LONLLNKJHASKLSJALHDKJ
I will never be calling it that again. In fact, it doesn't have a name, because that is fucking stupid.
- I'm writing an entirely new Kingdom Hearts fanfiction. It is called Dream State. (Did you know? Kingdom Hearts III came out this fucking year in January. That is like, 13 years of waiting. And I haven't even beat it yet!)
- I'm writing the same old Draco fanfiction, it has hardly changed. It is called Divide & Devour.
- Fret is over. Done. I finished it in October of 2017. I gave it to Dani for her birthday, I fucking printed it out, all ... I don't even know how many pages, over 70, and FUCKING PASTED THEM INTO A HARDCOVER BLANK BOOK FOR HER, OKAY, I MADE FRET INTO A FUCKING BOOK FOR HER, and I gave her Outlander Season One, because I am an AWESOME FUCKING FRIEND. I guess Jesus is cooler!!!!!!!!!!!
Even though it's done and all, I doubt I'll post it here. There are old posts with me freaking out about banners and having all the chapters in one post but lol, no. It's a pretty good fic. I'm still not going to post it on Livejournal.
- I'm writing two other full length for shits & giggles (NSFW) novels. One is about Atlanteans, an island near the Keys, and dolphins, and Atlantis obviously. It doesn't really have a name. I call it XOXO. The other is about a virtual world that is half dream, half video game, and getting trapped inside of it. So original. That's CERTAINLY never been done before. It doesn't have a name, either. I call it Oh Deer.
- Last, but not least, and of course more important than any of them, I am writing another novel on my own. It is called So Bitter Lemon. It is about time travel, multiple gods, and the least desirable future.
My persona is no longer mushookie. I call myself T. Petrichor now.But you can't really change that shit on Livejournal, can you?
Cool. Cool cool cool cool cool cool cool cool cool cool cool cool cool cool cool cool cool.
