moving right along.
it's getting colder, and i dream of driving to the tropics to leave this wasteland behind. but that's probably a no go. despite the fact that i keep looking up hotels in random places, i think i'm stuck here through the holidays, despite my wanderlust. i think i want to drive somewhere isolated and spend xmas by myself. but my mom would probably kill me. though really, i could just tell her it's the trade off for my thanksgiving presence this year. still wouldnt fly though. i'll bet.
so, i stay put.
on the job front, not much is new. i got the shpiel again this morning about how boss is getting more and different demands on her, and hence, she will place more and different demands on me. *sigh* yup. still looking around for other possibilities. still not getting any bites. though, i am pretty sure that at this point, there wont be much in the way of available jobs until after the holidays anyway. just the way it tends to go.
on the home front, it looks like i'll end up living with my dad for a lot longer than originally planned. my student loan payments jacked up this year (they seem to think i make a hecuva lot of money now...har har) thus preventing me from being able to afford rent for sure on my salary. in fact, post xmas, i doubt i will be able to do much of anything. i have a few events already planned (arisia, wicked faire, blacksun, april wisco wedding) and thats about all i'll have time or money for. teh suxxors. i suppose anything can change though. should a miracle occur and i get promoted or hired elsewhere.
luckily, my dad is a good roommate. he doesnt pry and neither do i.
on the social life/dating front....i'm almost tapped out here. i'm at the point where i'll need to spend more time making myself and my living situation better. not to say i'll be completely unsocial, but that i'm going to try to do less. i dont have enough energy right now. we shall see. i still think things like the movies, and group outings will be in the works. just not as often. i'm not getting enough sleep and its affecting me. it's also holiday party season. and that always takes its toll too. so, please forgive me if i miss one or two. (:3
on the nanowrimo front, god i suck. i was feeling all accomplished with my 2,000 words (cause generally, i cant carry a plot with a pack mule). except really, at this point, i should have 30,000. ha! tonight, i shall be doing laundry and writing. thats it. i may not even answer my phone. so there. not that i'm gonna whip 28,000 words out of my ass in 3 hours...but cant blame a girl for trying.
my brother and his wife are back in denmark. i miss him already. my big brother rules.
i am not looking forward to dealing with the maul traffic from now on due to xmas shoppers. feh.
i guess that is it for now.
