Everything at once
Oh lordy, I've been wanting to write another post for a few weeks, a proper post that had some substance, but stuff just kept getting in the way! Eeesh. I was going to talk about how my 8-year-old cousin visited and LOVED MY POKEMONS. Particularly talky Snivy. Also something about commissions and the new Poketime, but now, GRAAAH.
You see, my Dad came home last Friday rather early, an announced that he no longer had a job. They'd only told him lunchtime that day. Well, shit. So I'm unemployed and he's unemployed, and just crap. We're not exactly going to become destitute straight away - redudancy package and all - but still. Uncertainty is not fun.
So I've applied to Centerlink for unemployment benefits, get the call next Monday to find out if/how much I am eligble for. Will amuse me if I get a job within this next week. Even moreso if it pays less than the benefits would.
So you know how I bitch about not having money? I'M GUNNA WHINGE EVEN MORE NOW.
I guess that PokeTime is up in the air for the moment. I don't think my father is going to be unemployed for that long, but I don't know if I'll be in a position to waste spend lots of money on pokemans by then. Whatever. You know what I really wanted to do? Save some money, and go overseas for a week or so. Maybe Japan? (During cherry blossom festival!) It would be nice. I've never been overseas, and I'm not really doing much here (I hate my local area quite a bit). I certainly don't have many people here to keep me, except my family and singular friend - who is due to have a baby any day now, BTW. Been considering joining the SES, too. BE USEFUL, DAMMIT.
Also, commissions were fail. I really only got a few :/
So, what else. My brother gave me Portal 2 as a belated birthday pressie. DAMN AWESOME. Not quite as awesome as the original, but still manages to hold it's own, thankfully. I had lotsa fun ^-^ just a pity I have no-one to do co-op with ( and IDK if my internet connection o fried card could keep up, anyway).
Furthermore, October is the month OF HAPPENING THINGS. Here is a list:
* Batman: Arkham City comes out. I preordered this just Wednesday, and kinda wish I hadn't now. Bleh. I just I'll squirrel away some money here and there to pay it off, I suppose.
* Graduation Ceremony. Already paid for this, so no panic there. Just have to pick up the fancy robes and turn up on the day.
* Zoroark for download at TRU. IDK why I mentioning this other than it saves me paying for a wi-fi for the DS.
* Talky Emolga comes out. Did kinda want.
* Will have to pay for MPC?
* POKEMON TIME OF COURSE. I may just treat myself to a few bits and pieces. Swablu <3
* Other stuff that I've probably forgotten. Yea, I'm certain there were other things.
