Lol, I completely forgot I had a livejournal for a while there.
Lots of change! About three weeks ago, I moved into a new house, started a new job, and basically now have a completely new lifestyle. So far, it's going pretty good.
Living with a new guy, Harry. We are simultaneously a good and a bad influence on each other. We bounce off each other and get some really cool things accomplished (like parties, clothing, bringing people together, doing the house up, hanging out), but it's wonderfully dangerous too, as we both spur each other on (alcohol, music, drugs, dancing, FUN).
Basically I'm spending the same amount on rent, ($150/wk) but now I have a room with my own ensuite, a sorta study room (which isn't rly useful atm, see below) a nice kitchen, a garage that's in the stages of being converted to a kick ass recreation space, central heating, it's a self-contained unit instead of an apartment, and CATS. It's so good not living with Dave anymore, as I just got sick of how he was fucking around with people in my life, and how I had no choice but to have it all happen around me and to deal with it, coz I lived there. Relief!
The new job is pretty cool. I'm one of the marketing officers at a university, and I have my own office, and I send out advertisements, organise events, do a bit of PR, student recruitment, edit publications, and sort of act as a contact for internal and external communication. I still have a lot to learn and get better at (in terms of processes and protocols, branding, writing style... basic levels of lazyness and procrastination), but the people I work with are really nice, friendly and helpful (and cute in a few cases).
Just gotta buckle down now and then to make sure I get the work done! Sometimes I get sleepy at my desk; I'm not sure if it's because of my eating habits, or just from starting at a screen for a long time, or if I haven't gotten into a proper sleeping pattern yet. Working 9:30-6 is pretty tiring dammit; specially when I'll get home round 7, organise dinner, and before you know it, it's 9pm. By that time I can't be fucked doing anything more, and just bum around, watch some TV or chat with ppl if I went out for dinner, and go to sleep to do it all again the next day. Because of this I'm behind on some things, but I'm sure I could change that if I could find a way to motivate myself in the evenings more.
Oh, yeah, my PC has stopped working at home. I turn it on, and it loads up Windows (Vista). I can do stuff normally, but then after a few minutes (like 1-5min generally), the PC shuts itself off. No 'shutting down Windows' screen, just completely off, as if you'd turned it off at the powerpoint. Only the power's still on, and the screen's still on (albeit on standby now), but the PC light is off. I don't really know what it could be, but I'm thinking it must be something like 1) a virus? 2) power supply problem? 3) corrupt HD or RAM?
I've never had to get a PC fixed before, normally a friend has been able to figure it out and sort it. So I'm not entirely sure where to take it, and what I can expect from repair people. I've been living off my laptop at home, but it's not the world's greatest machine; I'd really like my PC back and operational, considering I spent like $1400 on it like only back in Feb.
So there we go. Thought I'd pop my head in and let ppl know what's been up and why I haven't been checking or writing LJ in ages. I'll prob disappear for another little while again, but THE MORE YOU KNOW.
Peace out, homebrews~
