Weekend Update!
Man, all my internet friends have been scarce lately. I blame the Illuminati*.
Anyway, things have been picking up here. Applied for a job at the local Check Advance place** a couple days ago. Haven't heard anything back, since the only woman I know there hasn't called me back and never seems to be available to talk to me. I'm not holding out much hope at this stage, but the important thing is they have my application on file, I guess. After I get some kind of confirmation from the Check place I'll start putting in applications at some other places like Walmart. They always need stock people and at this stage I'm getting a little desperate.
Started watching Lyrical Nanoha, and it's a blast. Basically: Elementary student finds magical ferret, makes friends through beamspamming them. One of the fan nicknames for the series is Ma-hou Shoujo Nanoha which roughly translates to Demonic Cannon Girl Nanoha***, so that should give you an idea of what to expect.
Still trying to figure out just what I want to do RE: moving to Chicago. Too many choices and consequences for one addled geek to process effectively, I guess. I know that Kevin and Tessa and everyone would love to have me up there, but aside from them it would be a 100% reboot on my life, and I don't know if I could handle that. Being an adult is hard, yo.
As of right now, the tentative plan I have is, in order of importance:
1.) Don't Die - I feel this one is pretty self explanatory, but doesn't show up enough on lists like this.
2.) Find employment
3.) Look into careers. I've given more thought to sleep studies and it looks like something I could be good at. Lots of computer work in a growing field, and it doesn't take terribly long to get certified.
4.) Figure out what to do RE: moving.
*I realize they're probably just busy, but ever since a 16-hour history channel binge I blame everything on the Illuminati.
It's snowing? Illuminati.
Skyrim isn't releasing until 11-11-11? Illuminati.
Banged my shin on the coffee table? Illuminati.
Can't find my iPod? That's actually probably my fault, but I'm sure the Illuminati hope I don't find it.
**On the one hand, I know some of these places are unscrupulous and probably not terribly nice employers, but on the other I need money.
***I never knew I wanted a show to actually be named that until I read it.
