Wow. It has been one year.
The subject says it all. I read what I had written a year ago, and it seems like a lifetime ago.
An update of sorts:
I finished school. It was very anticlimactic. I am not really in a big hurry to secure a job in my "field" as well. I recently started working at Kinko's and am working on little projects on the side. One of the said projects is actually art for one of my former instructor's game. I have also been tinkering with a little animated short..something a bit introspective and low key. More details to come.
I moved to Roselle, and while I love the area and love my apartment, there are things that aren't ideal. One of them being my roommates. I mean, they aren't bad people or anything(I actually am friends with them). It is just well....they are VERY addicted to Lineage 2. Yes, the game that I myself was addicted to for close to three years, however, I didn't come even close to the addiction they have. They stay up all night and sleep all day...hell, I don't even know if they are working right now.
While I do love the area I am living in, something still doesn't feel right. Perhaps its the IL weather? Perhaps its because I feel like there is something more out there for me and I am missing out on it?
I am considering my options for once the lease is up(January 2009). I am considering trying to find a job out west in that time...or perhaps going back to school for my master's in education.
So, at any rate, I am still alive. I have all but cut myself off from gaming entirely. I have been watching a bit of anime...mostly old stuff that people have posted dvd rips of(like Xabungle, Might Gaine, Exkaiser, etc.). I finally got around to watching Turn A Gundam, and I was very fucking impressed.
At any rate, I am hoping in the near future to get in touch with some of my old friends that I have neglected during my self imposed exile of school/depression/work.
