Who would of thought a new job at a little cafe in town and the quitting of one of my existing jobs was all I needed to feel better again?
I actually feel like a person again. Like I do have a purpose. All because I make coffee for people.

I really despise one of my jobs. Didn't think I could feel so crappy about a stupid job. My boss has lost his passion for his business, and that, in turn, has made for a stale and unpleasant environment at work. It doesn't help we are particularly dead in terms of business, and I spend too much time doing nothing. That is not the sort of worker I am.
And I really dislike my current living arrangements. I feel bad because I feel like I don't clean enough. And I don't even have anything to say/talk about with one of the other people I live with. That kind of bums me out.
I have a fucking roof over my head; for free too. We are not in poverty; we aren't starving - we can buy food when its needed.
I have two jobs. Which is more then some people can say in this current economic climate.
But I feel fucking miserable.
I know it isn't forever, but I just can't snap out of it.

[Oct. 30th, 2009|01:53 am] |
So there's this pretty decent job in the local paper, and all I can think about is, if I apply, will I still get time off to see Them Crooked Vultures?
Think I am failing at this so called 'adulthood' thing. I have this silly little motivation to work at an awesome cafe and make awesome coffee all day. Not exactly a well paid job around here. I would also really love to design logos and ultimately sites for people. But my lack of confidence, experience and skills don't really help. I would love to travel. Go to Poland. All my priorities muddle each other up.
So what's the next step?
Get my license to help me really pursue something I might enjoy?
Or get a decent paid job now?
Hang in there a bit longer till I can finally plan things out myself and do what I actually desire to do?
My mind is just all over the place about making these next life choices. And whilst I realise I ultimately have the power to do whatever I can put my mind to, I am confused as to whether I am expecting too much to start doing what I want to do.
Damn indecisiveness and overthinking.
Something noteworthy : nice to see so many people still using LJ :)

Neglecting this little space of mine on the Internets has likely to have cause more stress during this year. It's like when I had a sitdiary.net account back in the days of highschool - venting somewhere just helped let it out.
( So here is when I start to speak.... )

...do I keep going backwards. Sure, I'll have completed a degree this year. But everything else feels like its flatlined. |

OH HAI.
Hope everyone is well. LJ seems a little quieter these days (understandable when there are so many social networks wanting your attention)
This year is looking pretty awesome. In fact, a lot of people seemed to bring the new year in with a lot of hope and feeling that this was going to be the year.
As I mentioned in the last blog, last year was a bit rough. So I guess any year can be better then ones like that.
We've finally moved into![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif?v=88.8) moistywipe's Dad's house, rent free. Mind you, it was quite entertaining trying to fit a small townhouse worth of crap into 2 rooms. We've yet to unpack (even after more then a month), since more room needs to be made, but I am pretty happy here :) Hopefully, we can save a nice amount of money for future endeavours.
This final year of uni is turning out to be fantastic. Maybe its because I know I am finishing, and because I actually choice units without any guidance this time, but I feel more motivated then before. Shame I couldn't have this awesome work ethic the whole time during my degree, heh. Now it's just a matter of having a bit of planning for next year. I am so used to just doing things I worked out years ago. This time 'round, I am still not sure what sort of possible career path I could take (I mean, ideally I would just love to travel, but I have to make money first). So, at the moment I am scouting some postgrads in either media studies or computer security.
But we shall see what the year brings, eh? Anything could happen!

| Hello, Two Zero Zero Nine. |
[Jan. 1st, 2009|08:26 pm] |
2008 was a pretty rough year for many people close to me. So I am pretty glad the new year has begun, to start fresh, as they say.
It's the last year of our degree for moistywipe and I at ECU. Had I not failed 4 units during the time of this degree, I would have finished. But eh, you get that. We'll also be moving out before March, back to moistywipe's Dad's house, who has kindly allowed us to not pay rent. And whilst I am a bit bummed we'll be moving out the little cave, we'll be saving a lot more money to either move somewhere else, travel etc. Huzzah!
While I am not a big fan of resolutions, having goals is always nice. I have a few aspirations for 2009. Going to FINALLY get my license. I've actually been driving more frequently, so I reckon I can try and get it before uni gets back. I just need to get over my paranoia and fix my confidence. I have big hopes in kicking ass at uni again this semester and next. I managed to get 2 HD's for project, as well as a D and CR. I am also participating in the 365 project on Flickr. Lots of fellow Twitter folk are also joining, and I thought it would be good to improve my camera skillz. You can follow it here on my Flickr.
Well, best of luck to everyone in the New Year! :D Big hugs!

| Smashing Pumpkins in the Cinema! |
[Oct. 17th, 2008|02:49 pm] |
Greetings music lovers & fellow Pumpkins!
  If you are a big music/music doco fan, or enjoy the sounds of the Smashing Pumpkins, this news is sure to interest ^_^ One of my most favourite bands, The Smashing Pumpkins are releasing a DVD documentary entitled "If All Goes Wrong" on November 11th 2008. It is based on their 19-show residency in Asheville & San Francisco. It has been recently announced that there will be screenings of this DVD in selected world cinemas. The fantastic thing about this is the some cities in Australia have been selected to play it on November 07, for one time only - AND PERTH IS ONE OF THEM! It will be at Innaloo's Greater Union Megaplex, and you can buy tickets online here. So even if you're not familar with the band, this sure to be a great documentary about real musicians mastering their craft and creativity to really bring shows fans want and love. Bring a friend or two!
Oh, and if you are a fellow Pumpkin and would love to talk to other fans, be sure to head to Ozphoria. It's a great site for Australian Smashing Pumpkins fans, and has a fantastic and friendly community as well ^_^ /smashing pumpkin rant

It was 5 years for Oliver and I on Tuesday.
Whilst I am not usually one to get sappy, its a pretty big landmark in terms of my life so far.
In this time, we've grown up together - both as people and in terms of the teenager to adulthood transition.
We've gotten through high school, through the wonders of being a band as well as school band camps, made our first move out of home together, are tackling a degree together, make awesome food for ourselves - its amazing to have someone with you through everything. It's pretty much how we've done it since we first met each other.
And whilst I've seen relationships like ours fade over time, I am not too worried anymore. We are best friends. We are so close to each other. Sure, we'll have our arguments, but we always resolve them as soon as we can.
I am so happy to have Oliver with me. Loves j00 Oliver.
