Seriously. All my fucking serious updates come in pairs, and it's been this way for months. What the fuck.
Anyway.
I had a job interview recently. It went well, except I've been out of work long enough to give a hiring manager pause. So when the second interview for the credit union on Kinnear comes up, I've got THAT preceding me if I even get picked for an interview. Oh well. Lets here it for cute HR lady being on your side. Corporate personnel can be very helpful if you woo them and keep 'em buttered, believe me. I saw that shit all the time at the BBY. Everybody had a pet Corporate contact, sometimes they would duel for these line-level people in stores. Good times, good times.
What else? Oh right. Still bored off my ass. BUT! But, but, the ever-unholy but, I finally kicked my Warcraft phase. I still play, but it's with RL duders and we tear shit up. No raiding, no PVP grinding, just dicking around with buddies. We'll just make this the gaming paragraph and say I'm also playing a lot of FFXII when I can pull myself away from the computer (heh), and it's fucking amazing. I'm so 110% stoked they knocked another Final Fantasy game out of the park. There are some that would argue they haven't done it since the SNES, so, hey. Chill out, it's great. I'm going very slowly in it, though, because I'm powering up my dudes instead of just progressing the story. You can take the guy out of WoW, but can you ever take the WoW out of the guy? lol
So. See below for girl stuff, but know that for the first time in a long time I'm not contemplating throwing in the towel and going gay. Not that I ever would, but you can only take so much before you just kneel, beg for mercy and start putting on the gimp suit.
Oh wait. What? Nevermind. Moving on.
I haven't gotten the trust dispersement yet. I did some basic mental math and came back with an estimated figure of $1,000-$3,000 for the half of the trust fund I'll be getting. It's buying a 360 and getting me as far out of debt as I can manage. While we're talking about money, Ben had an unexpected windfall for Christmas in the form of a check for the first part of his inheritance. I'll leave it to him to say more if he wants, but he's buying a Wii and Mikey said he's (eventually) getting a PS3. So. Once again, hanging out with me is an experience in conversation-destroying technology. Surprise surprise. Heh.
That's not actually true. I'm getting back with some people I haven't hung out with in awhile, trying to shake off the social dust of months of Warcrafting. It's refreshing, but I've still got a long way to go and not having a job to have spending cash, I can't do much more than hang out, which puts a damper on things. Not having a car also puts a damper on things. Really, I'm just a furnace trying to burn through my own wet blankets, heh. Which is pretty cool, when you think about it. Or it is when I think about it. Fuck off, whatever.
I've been hanging out with the Metal Neighbors every day though. Those guys fucking rule. Laser is one of the duders I play WoW with now, basically him and Ben and a couple others (JAIMEE, YOU LAZY WENCH, I'M LOOKING AT YOU), but they also come over and smoke up and watch hilarious shit. Jessica thinks Laser is especially hilarious. So thumbs up right there.
OH RITE
It was recently Christmas. You may have noticed. I went home and had a meh Christmas with the family. I took an ass-ton of flak about not having a job from literally everyone there EXCEPT my 13-year old sister. I got some movies, some pretty comfy shirts, and some gag stuff. I didn't get the shoes I asked for, which is tragic because I actually need new shoes. Godammit. Whatever.
So, we're at dinner and my sister has her Jewish friend there, and my mom suddenly asks if she enjoyed all twelve (12) days of Hannukah. I'll let that one soak in before moving on.
Done laughing? Good. My mom also sent a picture of my sister and her friend Emily, and my mother captioned it, "Christina and her significant other". Way to go, mom. Way to out straight members of the family who aren't even gay to Uncle Bill. Brav-o. It's amazing what alcohol and religion can do to your ability to reason.
Uhh, other than that it was a decent Christmas. Came back and hung out with the neighbors, got lots of leftovers, all in all a decent holiday.
John's Holiday Timeline
Thanksgiving - Sucked. It was my brother and I eating because my sister had talked shit about me and left and my mom had left the table when my sister talked shit before I showed up. Amazing.
Dad's Birthday - Ignored
Jessica's Birthday - What's this, a new addition to the list?
Gina's Birthday - Ignored (Yes, hon, you have every right to hate me, but you won't because you're the bigger person)
Mom's Birthday - Ha, I couldn't call her because the phone was on the fritz. I'm sure she was thrilled. Apparently she had a mini-breakdown. NO WAI
My Birthday - Called Mom, she almost forgot it was my birthday. Awesome start. Fun gifts, amazing time out with Jessica, fun time after with Metal Neighbors. w00tsauce. I'm 24. Slightly less w00tsauce, heh.
Powder's Birthday - Ha, I only put this on the list so I can point out that he hangs out with Shane and doesn't talk to me anymore. Blah.
CHRISTMAS DAY - Full of meh, but that's better than full of suck.
NEW YEARS - Heh, here's hoping I'm boozed up and surrounded by decent people. (I would settle for one exceptional person, heh)
Ha, I just checked my calendar. Let's just say I missed a couple birthdays in December that make me chuckle to myself knowingly. Man oh man.
Alright, well, fuck it. I'm declaring this trainwreck-in-motion officially at rest. Move along, nothing else to see here. |
