My life is pretty much a huge waiting game right now. I can't accomplish any of the things I need to until mid-June probably and it's driving me a bit crazy. It helps that I know I will have more money coming in, but that doesn't change how restless I feel now.

I'm rewatching Ronin Warriors *grins*. I just realized the other day it had been far too long.

So I have 'net in my room at the moment. I'm not sure how long it will last, or how dependable it will be, but at least I can reached for the next little bit if I'm needed.

I'm working on some fics and things so I'll have some things to post as soon as I get the wireless situation under control.

I got the job at McDonald's. Yay! I should have orientation this week and I'll be putting in my two weeks notice at Hastings today when I go in. I have to get my food handler's card which is more annoying than a real problem, or at least I hope that is the case.

Also, as you can tell, I still have 'net. My roommates don't so I suppose it's just because I left the computer on and so the connection hasn't reset, which means really it could go at any time. There's supposed to be a city wide free wireless connection, but I can't get it in my room and I've only seen it twice in all the many times I've checked wireless networks so I'm not sure what is going on with that.

So I've done some searching for wireless service in preparation for the 'net getting shut off. So far it looks like my best option lies at Wal-Mart, either through Cricket or Netgear (which means having the choice of going through a couple of businesses for the actual service). I've already told my roommates that if I do go through with my plan for the USB modem that I will not consider it a regular bill. Essentially I'll pay it all myself and take it wherever, and whenever, I want or need. Some part of me is feeling a bit guilty about this, but the truth is that while I probably won't need to take it with me often it will be good to have the option. I still need to do a bit more research to make sure, but if all goes well I will have the wireless thing done before the end of the month, most likely around the 20th (all depending on the job situation).

I should hear from McDonald's this week. I think as long as everything goes well I should be set, but I am also not going to get my hopes up and get too ahead of myself.

I do have places to go while the 'net is down so I at least have options, and that feels pretty good, but I also feel sort of stuck in waiting mode, which I hate. I mean so much depends on how the job situation shapes up that it's pretty scary, but I've dealt before so I'll just have to do it again.

Still have that nervous energy going on, but I suppose that is better that feeling horrible. This reminds me that I need to get to the doctor before the end of the month and get my prescription filled for my migraine issues. They got really bad last week and IF I'll be getting more hours I can't really afford to deal with that again.

I'm not yet ready to get back into LJ RPing the biggest reason for this being the fact it is very likely that I will lose my 'net on Tuesday morning and probably won't get it back until the end of May. This doesn't mean that those voices have completely gone away though.

I played Yoji from Weiss Kreuz and I guess I shouldn't be surprised that he came back, well I guess he never left to be honest, but my iPod and iTunes have been very fond of Weiss songs lately just reminding me of my love for him. I still can't afford to get his paid account back (his vanity really won't let me get away with 15 *grins*), but I did a bit of cleaning on icons to get a bit more to show up. There are at least two I will be adding back in when I can. I have no idea where he will end up, or if I will still continue with this when the time comes, but yeah... *grins* Oh Yoji.

So I'm embarking on a very ambitious project. I think I've been hyper, scared shitless, and discouraged all in the span of an hour, but it seems I've decided to proceed for the moment. And yes the icon is related.

1. Reply to this post, and I will pick six of your icons.
2. Make a post (including the meme info) and talk about the icons I chose.
3. Other people can then comment to you and make their own posts.
4. This will create a never-ending cycle of icon squee.

There isn't too much to say about my life lately. I'm still looking for a job where I'll get as close to 40 hours as possible, or just work out a way to get more hours at current job. Even though I love it I don't think I'll be there much longer. I'm also continuing to try and get a job at the college, but that's not going the greatest so far.

As soon as I can start getting more hours I'll probably slowly work my way back into RPing. I think I'll use dear_mun first to practice some voices and go from there maybe.

I've finally figured out something about the current version of V. See, I couldn't tell my roommate I thought it was better than the original, but I couldn't really figure out why. I had just finished watching it the other night when it came to me. I don't think it's being as unique as the original. It's sort of hard to explain, but there was a feel to the original that I haven't seen in any other show of this type...maybe Alien Nation a bit, but just the ages of the characters, the WWII influence and background for the writing just was such a different view point, as well as science itself being a primary focus almost from the first hour (Diana's experiments as well as the scientists disappearing). I am still enjoying the current one a lot don't get me wrong, but it always feels like there is something missing with it when I compare the two.

I also still haven't figured out if I like Diana or Anna better. Anna is more creepy in her way, but Diana was very fun and dangerous in a very different way. Actually, Anna is one of the character's I'm considering RPing. I really don't know how she would work many places so she's kind of on the way back burner for now until I can really spend the time and energy to figure some things out.

I feel like I've been such a recluse lately, especially from LJ. I haven't meant to, really, but I'm sort of a private very inward person anyway and with all the apartment stuff, which appears to be over YAY, and looking for a new job it's been maybe worse. So, to combat this, and since I still don't have the motivation for my Sims post commentary, I come to you with this:

Ask me any question..it can be about my favorite whatever, basic stuff about where I grew up, roleplaying on or off the 'net or whatever. I don't think anything will be too personal, but if that comes up I will answer as best I can.

I've made a lot of changes in my Sims 2 game lately. It's been really weird to see the how they actually effected the game. I'm really enjoying it though so I think it was the right thing.

Speaking of my game: I've had the triplets and quad hack for a while, but I've always chosen original because my game loves twins anyway. Well, I got a set of quads today. I was in shock, in a somewhat good way. I cheated like crazy and did a lot of having my sims dash around, but it worked out. It's been interesting having so many kids around so close in age. They had an older sister who was still a child herself by the time they became children.

Not been doing too much lately. Just a little over a week and things should be back to normal. I still have one big thing to deal with and then things should settle down pretty quickly. I will just be glad when it is all over.


EDIT: Btw I actually have lots of Sims 2 pictures to share. I've renamed them and now just have to upload them and then prepare the post.

I'm sorry I've been so horrible at updating, not that I am great at any other time. Dealing with the apartment has taken pretty much all my energy. Well that and work. The biggest change is that I finally got a Blu-Ray player.

It'll still be about a month, give or take a week, for everything to get back to normal. At least this is a good excuse for me to do some major rearranging and try to set up things better in my room.

I have been considering going back to school. There's still a lot I have to do if I decide to do it. I'll be making some calls tomorrow. Other than that I have been looking for a better job, especially at EKU if I can manage it. Also, I might be moving before the end of the year so there is a lot still up in the air.

Once things get settled I also plan to work on my writing. I don't know what will come of it other than getting things set up. It will take a lot of time at that point to find out who to start sending it too. I can check with some of the professors at school and see what they say. It will be on me, obviously I knew this from the beginning, at least a little. A friend told my roommate that the way he got published was to basically see himself then he got an agent only after the company had his manuscript, or possibly even after it was already published. It will take patience, but if I work at the school it shouldn't be too hard for me to some asking around. Also, if I work at the school I might be able to start taking the classes I need. I'll be calling tomorrow so I'll know whether or not the school thing will happen this year at least.

I want to just thank goodness for the Sims. Seriously, playing and reading legacies has kept me sane and helped me feel a little less a stranger in my own place.

So my Sims game continues to have its issue. Now it seems to be random, possibly connected to a piece of clothing or a hairstyle though I don't think I have it set up for townies to have access to downloaded stuff *shrugs* Anyway, it's randomish at this point and I can work around it so I'm just going to do the best I can. I deleted the cache again and deleted a few other things I downloaded recently so I hope that it is. I have some things from pixel_trade that I really don't want to get rid of...we shall see I guess *crosses fingers* If it stays like this I suppose I can just save OFTEN and work through it since it doesn't seem bad.

I hope to get another Sims post up soon, but I haven't been in the mood to take pictures and sometimes college annoys me, but I will work through it and then get an heir post up.

Okay, first things first: I know I haven't said how much I love the Uglies series (Uglies, Pretties, Specials and Extras) by Scott Westerfeld. I'm not sure why it's taken me this long to comment on them (or at least to comment on them at length). They are well written, thought provoking and all of the characters are interesting, developed and they take you on their journey. It has a lot of concepts in it that are likely to provoke controversy and discussion, in a good way, and nothing is ever simple or cut and dry. The world is complex which makes reading it over again worth it as you notice little things you hadn't before.

Secondly, I have finally gotten to see Kuroshitsuji (Black Butler). I am still processing the ending. I am so glad I found it, even if it did take me way too long to decide to track down. I plan on checking out the manga as soon as possible. Probably tomorrow if things go well. And "London Bridge is Falling Down" will never be the same again.

Other than that work is going decently. I am thankful that I'm not getting a lot of hours at the moment because I'm still trying to take care of a few things, but I will be glad when things pick up so after I get everything taken care of so I'll be ready for more hours, at least I'm hoping I'll get more as it gets closer to Christmas.

Any of you on my friends list watch X-Men: Evolution? If so do you happen to know the episode where Rogue and Nightcrawler walk away from Mystique? it is season 2 or 3 and she's reaching towards them from what sort of looks like a castle, but I could have been mistaken.

If you need something visual there's a music video that shows it just let me know and I'll get the link.

Not being able to figure out where this scene is from is driving me slightly crazy. Thanks.

I'm going to have to check and see the date it comes out. I probably, unless something changes really soon, won't get to see it until it either hits the cheap theatre or comes out on DVD.

First: Semi good news on the job front. I talked today to apparently the new hiring manager at Hastings and I left my number with her after telling her I have open availability, and that some time ago I worked in a similar set up (the bookstore at Berea College). She said she's going to track down my application so I'm cautiously optimistic that we might get to an interview.

There are two other places in the same shopping plaza that are taking applications/hiring that I will be checking on tomorrow probably. Wednesday at the latest.

Now, I know that my friends list is somewhat divided on Twilight. I've accepted this and am not really bothered either way and have fun with the ones who enjoy it. However, last night I managed to finally finish Breaking Dawn so I thought I would give my thoughts on the series:

Cutting for those who don't care. I am warning for spoilers though I'm pretty sure that it won't be a big deal at this point.

Enter the Savage Garden. )

I know I was going to say more, but I couldn't get to the computer in time to get it all out. I welcome any sort of respectful discussion and disagreement with my numbers since it's kind of me just looking back on things.

Not much to report other than I finally got around to updating my icons again. There will probably be another minor redo when I get more in November. Really some of these (Star Wars and Star Trek) were so far overdue it's not even funny.

I should get a new layout too, but I'm so picky about them that it's hard for me to decide on new ones once I get one that has all I want.

I think tomorrow I'm just going to get out of the house for a bit, but I don't know what I'm going to do.

On the rping front: I'm sorry tags are taking so long, but my brain has been so distracted lately that none of my plans are exactly progressing as I would like. I do want to get a State of the Pups up though, but it probably won't happen until the end of the week.
