(no subject)
I'm kinda gonna just ramble and go from whatever comes up to whatever comes up. But sadly, I lost most of this trying to paste it into livejournal in the first place >_>... I have no idea what I just lost, and that kinda angers me.
the 14th was Mom's birthday, wasn't able to go and visit, had to drive out to campus to deal with stuff ._o; Apparently one of the reasons I move to Indy in the first place didn't have enough students to hold the class >_o;...they would have held the class anyhow in Terre Haute. Small class sizes rule. Anyhow, besides a small complication with maybe not getting a work study position this semester like I wanted >_>...I thnk the rest of the campus stuff is taken care of now. Grants cover everything, I've got most of the text books I'll need, and the loan I've applied for will help keep me stable while I try and find a good enough job while I'm out here. So after dealing with campus stuff, I came out here to unload the stuff I brought with me from Terre Haute. Been a rather blargh day otherwise. Start to unpack then stop and organize stuff then stop and unpack and nothing ever seems to get finished :p.
I have an interview in Columbus, IN Wednesday at one. I've got directions, and yeah, I know it's a 45 minute drive, but the pay and experience should be more than worth the extra trouble. In the meantime, I have a rout assistant job with the local Namco group that I'll keep, as some job is always better than no job x.o; The rout shift starts Thursday, so at least I'll have something to do for a few hours on Thursday and Friday. I think Friday afternoon I'm supposed to try and help Ebdain move, I'll contact him somehow to see what the details on that are and when or where I should meet everyone. Saturday I'll be at the arcade in TH from two to close, and Sunday from open to close. Sometime Sunday evening I'll pack the car full again and make another trip up here.
Monday classes start, but for the time being, all of my classes are in the evening. That will only change if work requires it x.o; As I rather like evening classes. Maybe I'll take a part time late night shift somewhere or other. Everything just kinda depends on work, hours, and availability I guess. I already don't think I have much to worry about class and homework wise. So long as I do the work and blah blah blah. I did finally learn I got an A on that summer class, had wondered how I did, but hadn't been able to look it up I guess.
In other news, I guess I could ramble and ramble some more, but I'm not sure exactly what to ramble about :(, so most of this may sound kinda aimless and pointless. Sorry to waste your time if that happens :p.
Mako's current living situation isn't looking quite as solid as I'd thought I'd be leaving him in. He wanted to move in with a bunch of other friends, but things sorta kinda fell apart and he's going to likely be stuck in the appartment on his own again for a while...anyone looking to move to Terre Haute? :). That, or I've been wondering how and where I could move him up here if he wanted to do that. I think he'd feel guilty for leaving friends behind if he moved anywhere else, so I wonder how many strays I can find homes for...
I know I can't help everyone, I know I can't be everyone's friend, but that sure doesn't stop me from trying anyhow. It's hard to reach out and make new friends when most of the world is already set and doesn't want to get to know new people :P . Have you ever had that problem?. Everyone's all defensive and thinks that every new person out there is just out to get something. It's kinda annoying, but I guess it's to be expected these days.
I sit here realizing anytime I make a post, much less one as large and replyable as this may eventually end up being, that there may be a whole one or two of you that read through it. But I guess if I were looking for a lot of recognition I'd have emo messages in the subject line, it works for so many others. Do I not have many friends, or do I just not have many friends on Livejournal? I wonder about that sometimes too. I've got a LARGE contact list, and I read through a lot of others' journals on a weekly basis, but I wonder how much of that's really reciprocated.
Something along those lines make me wonder if I should really ever bother with things like Facebook and Myspace. Do I really want to keep up with the people I went to school with? Do I really want to try and explain who I've become and what I'm like to the faceless masses? Hard to decide what is too general and what's not specific enough I guess. I shouldn't have to set up multiple accounts all over the world to discuss the many different facets of my life :P.
blah blah blah look at me, I'm jumping to a new topic again :).
I've started to write a little again. One short unfinished story one day, some other short unfinished story another. I think I'll feel more comfortable trying to do these random things a little more often once I actually sit around to do just that. It's easy to do at work, especially since I don't have homework or other books I'd rather be reading just yet to occupy my time with. Then again I start to write something one moment, then wonder what on earth I'm doing after I've set it down and tried to walk back to it.
I was sorta hoping a couple people I can actually talk with were going to be online. My list of friends seems to be shorter than my contact list indicates. I just feel bad about severing ties...so I don't. People can see when I log in and when I log out, and if someone wants to say hi, that's really all they have to do :p. I'm kinda the quiet one, I guess even after a few years that hasn't changed very much. I can go and say hi to a few people, but for most others it takes a lot. And then I feel bad when I do try and say hi to a few others, because then they always wonder why, and what's going on x.o. Things like that kinda discourage me from wanting to say hi again, yaknow? Or I don't get a reply back because they just haven't heard from me in however long. Kinda depressing. It takes two to keep a friendship going, so maybe I really should clear out the messenger lists, since so many others really haven't offered to talk or say hello in however long. Just me being sentimental I guess.
There's a lot of the old me I'd like back. I had a lot more friends back in the day, even if maybe they were friends for the wrong reasons. they would come and talk and say hello and we'd hang out for a while, and that was great :). The ones that I miss I doubt I'll ever see again, and the ones that are still around I don't know that I talked with very much even then. I haven't heard anything from Ryan since he'd found a girlfriend in Vancouver. I don't think it'd be easy to contact him, and don't know if he'd want me to anyhow. Like I said earlier, it takes two to keep a conversation going, and I guess he'd have said hello by now if he wanted to. You know, things like that. At least it's a short list, but they were all very good people.
I'm still alive :)...but the two of you that read this already know that.
Let's see, new topic...
Holy crap, have any of you seen Appocalypto yet? I know it came out last year, but it's Awesome :D. Unless that's just the anthropologist in me, but woo!. It was a good story even if people gripe about accuracy and stuff. No, it won't make me go watch "The Passion", but if you liked watching stuff like that, you'd like this.
I've been thinking about picking up the Harry Potter series, now that there's an end and all that. (no spoiler monkies x.o; I still don't know what happens and I'm happy to keep it that way :P). I think there's a Weise and Hickman novel I need to find and read...actually there may be two. I don't know about Salvatore novels, there may be one new one I haven't found and read already. Otherwise, who knows...I did go in and pick up a few of the textbooks I needed for school the other day, I guess I should content myself with reading the first two or so chapters in those before trying to do new things...like...unpacking *looks backwards*...ugh.
One of the things I knew I'd never look forward to while moving here...the occupants of the next bedroom over :P. One is never quiet, and the other I just flat don't know. They're kinda noisy at times, maybe I'll get used to it. Hehe, something else I noticed as we were looking the place over, the AC units for the building are right next to my window :P, and it faces East. Fun fun. I'll have to find something to cover that up with one of these days. I should ask to borrow their air matress or something too before they zonk out sometime in the near future.. I'm starting to miss Scott's pattio right about now XD.
wandered afk for a round of Chrononauts and to watch FMA, so I guess I've lost the train of thought I jumped on earlier. Yay for being a mental stowaway though :P. Otherwise, I guess I'll nom on something and get to bed. I'll probably be up around 9ish an out the door at 11ish to make sure I get to the interview place in time. See ya folks when I can :)
Did just have a random thought though, maybe I should change the name of my journal from what it is now to something about sarcasm, dont'cha love it how thoughts flow out your ears like that x.o; Yet another gloopy mess to clean up after. So yeah, good night.
