I almost never login to lj anymore (I'm unsure what even prompted me to tonight haha). But wow, it's been a pretty fantastic 5 months or so since I last posted. It's kinda funny how my life pretty much did a complete 180 in one year's time. This time last year, I'd just been laid off yet again, this time by Oracle, and was struggling financially ( Read more... )

Lets see. Things are going well at work. I completed my training last month & am now considered a full fledged employee. We're having a huge holiday party with open bar & food on Friday. I'm pretty excited. My mom gets into the city around 9:30 that evening and we're spending the weekend shopping and doing other fun things around the city ( Read more... )

I almost never check lj anymore and I'm sorry about that guys. I don't know if anyone even still reads this, though ( Read more... )

I know I hardly ever update anymore, but I just wanted to share pictures of my newish kittens with you guys. I adopted them about three weeks ago when they were 10 weeks. I think these pics vary between 10 and 12 weeks. Apologies, they were taken with my phone so they aren't the best quality.

This is Evie (named after Evie from V for Vendetta):

Bday 2.0 party at my apartment tonight! Anyone around Chicago that would like to come, get ahold of me.

I cannot believe that MSTRKRFT is doing a free show at some hole in the wall DIY venue on the south side tonight! Craziness.

I am beyond excited!

Wow so I had a freakin blast this weekend celebrating St Patty's day. Chicago goes all out which I'd experienced before but it's sorta different when you actually live here ( Read more... )

Even though it's Valentine's day and I don't have a boyfriend, I am just really happy.

I love you, my friends.

I'm happy to report I finally got a job. I will be working for Oracle downtown doing admin/marketing asst work. It's the most well-paying job I've ever landed. I'm pretty excited. The only thing that sucks is I have to wear a suit every day and I only have three right now, so I'll have to go buy some new clothes ( Read more... )

Life has been full of ups and downs recently.. Right before I left for England, I was laid off from my job. I worked a short temporary position last week but now I'm back on the unemployment until after the 1st of the year most likely. Very sad ( Read more... )
