Another life update
Eh, I haven't updated live journal in a long time, and it's in the middle of the night, so I thought I'd update the people who actually read this with some of the things that have been going on with my life over the past while.
Over the last few months I've been visiting http://www.furaffinity.net/user/widontknow and http://www.furaffinity.net/user/jiktar as many people who talk to me regularly know, my visits started to become frequent enough that my mother (you know, the one who hates my guts) got tired of it and just told me to figure out a situation out here this trip out our she was going to make life at home 10 times more worse then it already was.
So, I've made quite a few major changes with my life over the past few weeks. I've gone from sitting in my bedroom on my computer chair doing nothing with myself over the course of a year and a half, to suddenly living with two friends in the city. (though for now, I'm still stuck sitting on my ass :v )
To go into a little more detail, as soon as she told me that, I got right on the ball, and went immediately to the only thing I knew would be able to help me in such short notice (given my original plan was to just visit for a week, so I only had the week to get things going). It's honestly near impossible to find a job within a short span of a week, and my parents weren't interested in helping out at all, so I turned to the next best thing I could think of.
Anyway, I called for that about two weeks ago, and got in there last week. Considering my situation, they were more then happy to help out, as long as I went to a bunch of work shops and programs, and talked to people. The only one I am actually interested in is the resume workshop, since my resume sucks ass, I'd rather not have to go to the other ones if I can help it, hopefully I can find a job before any of the other work shops after the resume one, and not have to go to any of them.
So, now I actually live here, in Ottawa with two rather cool guys, though I swear I bug them a lot when I'm not in a good mental state (such as not feeling well and low on sleep), though Wi is far worse when he's even a little drunk.
In any case, my rent and food is taken care of along with other basic needs (and some small things for myself if I'm careful enough with what they give me) until I can actually find a job. Going to be trying overnight first since I suffer from Insomnia and just plain being rather nocturnal.
While I am waiting for being able to actually go out and hunt, I've been playing a lot of PS3, I did in the past on Wi and Ral's profile, but since I started actually living here, I've made a profile for myself so I can play through games and add my own friends and all that, and get my own trophies (though I'm pretty lazy about getting most of them). I have no plans to ever catch up to Wi and Ral's profile, but at least it is something to do. (PSN ID is Hikehyena for anyone who's interested)
As of about last december, I picked up playing guitar, Ral is actually the one who gave me his really old one that he never used anymore, as an early christmas gift, which I still really appreciate. I'm still learning and all that but I'm sure with practice I'll get better eventually, slowly working myself into more complicated stuff really.
In the art department, I've really been trying to get a lot more Hike out there, especially him as his default skinny self, many people think he's a big ol' fatty, but they're completely wrong. I'm doing my best to outnumber the big Hike picture with the normal sized ones so that I can post on my Hikehyena account on FA without people thinking he's, you know, fat. :v
Otherwise, considering I'm far from the financial situation to even pull most of that off, I'm just working with what I can until one point where I am in a better situation.
Well hey, it's my hobby, so it's not something I want to give up on, even when I'm in a poor financial situation, it hasn't stopped me in the past, not that I had anything to do with people just throwing art at me, though that has come to a complete stop and has for the past few months, thank god I say, makes me feel bad when just give me a gift or a picture out of the blue. ;c
Anyway, I'm starting to ramble on at this point, so I'll leave this post as is for now, I'll update on my situation whenever I remember to actually use live journal again.
For anyone who actually reads my entries, thanks.
