Last Update: Tuesday, June 26, 2007
I find an update roughly every month somewhat substandard. However, this is my diary and I will not make an apology. So that's that out of the way.
I'm two weeks into my notice period at HMV, and I really don't feel anything at all. I'd like to continue working there, but apparently policy's changed to the tune of no full time contracts whatsoever any more, so even if they had the money to they could not properly hire me. So in two weeks on Monday next I will be clad in some smart dress (they've not actually told me what I should wear on my first day, so I guess a suit and tie should suffice. I know it's all uniformed, so it shouldn't be too taxing a problem) and ready to tackle the hard hitting financial workings of every pensioner with a savings account in Worcester. And, let me tell you, I really couldn't be more excited.
The house situation is pretty fucking fantastic. For the summer it's just me and Daniel, one of the humans I went down to London with to participate in EPOCH, and this situation is great. We're pretty suited to housematedom, I reckon. It'll be interesting what'll change when the girls (two; Judith, another EPOCHite, has lived here for the past three years and is currently in her native Germany over the summer, and Sofi, a close friend of Daniel who is Finnish and as such is in Finland) move in.
Did I mention that the house has a trampoline? Because if I haven't then I fucking well should. We have a fucking trampoline in the back garden. I hope I needn't point out the sheer Awesome of this last italicised statement.
My usually monochrome and miserablist world is currently being somewhat lit up by someone incredibly special; I'm not going into details because it's my business, and sometimes a boy needs his privacy. Needless to say, she is incredible and she makes me happy. That is all you need to know.
Other than this, things is pretty much the same as usual. I'm still not comicking, though... I have done two panels of a three panel TraGic - as in a proper TraGic comic strip. I'm not sure I could ever really end that thing. It would just be nice if I could; a fresh start would allow me to create a cohesive comic strip that people both understand and find hilarious. I suppose I need more originality. I'm hoping that the rigid 9-5 Skipton hours will allow me to set aside some proper time for me to get things properly into perspective. I know that at some point in the recent future I'd like to restart my Russian learning (given that it's inevitable that I'll have forgotten everything I learned by now), my automotive learning (for the same reason as the Russian), the comic (or at least make a proper one)... and any other endeavour that I think of from now until then. Like I've said a million times before, we'll see.
Also, I'm dead skint like. In a I-can't-pay-my-phone-bill-this-month kinda way. This time, however, I'm not so worried. All of you readers wondering what happened to the loan I took out not so long ago should probably think about the person who took out said loan and rethink their wonder. It's not rocket science. Some people don't deserve hard cash.
I suppose that's a good a place as any.
