yes, now i’ve decided to start using my livejournal again. to make updating it easier, i’ve decided to crosspost all my posts from my wordpress blog starting today. also, due to the massive amounts of spam comments i’ve been getting on livejournal, comments can only be made on my wordpress blog so i can manage them more easily.
i don’t have much else to say today. for those who are following my posts on livejournal and wanting to know what i’ve been up to lately, you can read my main blog.
not a typo. just now i was tweeting things that were on my mind. wasn’t expecting to do a whole monologue. i felt it would be appropriate to make a blog post for it, so….here.
first: holy shit, 12 days passed since my last post already? jesus christ, where is the time going? maybe it has to do with my fucked up sleep schedule, i don’t know. i need to fix that somehow if i even want hope of getting a job.
and now, the twitmonologue.
i’m listening to a spin doctors album “turn it upside down”. for some reason, it makes me remember things from over 10 years ago. grade school. i hated those years. especially during school. in fact, i’ve mainly blocked out anything to do with school (other than shit i’ve actually learned). i remember more of the things at home, than anything else. even then, it was kinda “meh”. not saying i hated it there, too (though at the time, i probably did), it wasn’t terribly eventful.
what i do remember is playing myst, since it was one of the only good games that ran on my computer. there were also some good DOS games and Windows games. though, i couldn’t use the floppy drive. it was broken. the computer before it got infected by a virus.
another thing i remember from that time period was a dream i had in 1999. this touches somewhat on my spiritual side, which i’m not going to get into with this post. it centered around a “pink eevee”. i was in class at school doing a word search puzzle, where that was one of the words. then, we went on a field trip to go see this “pink eevee”. turned out it was a pink fox. or that’s how i remember it now, anyway. either way, it wasn’t an eevee, and it was pink and foxlike. there was also a flying creature that was a half-evolution of biyomon and birdramon – like, it was halfway through the evolution. and there was fire. that’s about all the relevant part of the dream.
now, i don’t know why this band in particular brings back memories. perhaps it was one of the few things i listened to back then – not having many CDs at my disposal or anything. other than that, i listened to Radio 104 (modern rock) or Kiss 95.7 (pop). though, i strayed from rock for a while, and i regret having done so. though, i’ll admit, Kiss 95.7 played some catchy tunes, and i probably would never had known about some of the good techno bands that i do today.
anyway, that should be all. i pretty much repeated everything i said on twitter, elaborated on it some. i need to catch myself next time.
nope. target didn’t hire me. fuckers.
this past week, i got a call from primerica financial services, inviting me to an interview. apparently they saw my resume on caljobs, and liked the fact i was a good cash register monkey or something. after research, i found that they were very bad people. so i didn’t go to the interview.
i’m continuing to submit applications to places. i should actually keep track of this shit. let’s see…hot topic, see’s candies, campus shell, safeway, rite aid, um…i forget where else. it’ll come to me. it’s the holiday season, so i need to get my name out there as much as possible. i kinda need a job, considering, i’m not getting unemployment benefits. luckily i have enough in my reserves to survive the next couple of months. assuming nothing tragic pops up.
in the meantime, i’m doing a little something to make money on the side. my sister’s blog pointed me to another blog of hers, regarding “get-paid-to” (gpt, for short) sites. all one has to do is check their e-mails, or fill out surveys, and they get a little bit of money. it’s not much, definitely not enough to live on, but it is a little extra cash to spend on lunch. i’ll find this quite useful to be able to buy food without dipping into my bank account so much. you can see a list of GPT sites i use on the right.
as for job hunting? i’m going to fill out a few online apps over the weekend ( cvs, staples, savemart… ). on monday, i’m going to go out and submit offline applications (sweet factory, gamestop, fry’s…).
i know, i haven’t posted much in the last month. who reads this thing anyways? not even spambots seem to want to come here anymore. xD
anyways, during all this time, i’ve been doing work on kitsune paradise. i changed the forum software to simple machines so that it can be using something more up to date without me having to shell out upwards of $200 for a license. i like invision and all, but it’s too expensive for me. so, yeah, kitsune paradise is using SMF, and i have ported the skins from the previous incarnations, like i have planned to do last year. munjpets and inferno will return soon.
as for kitsumuck, well, it’s comatose. i’m focusing more on a new project called “evolution MUCK“, which is intended to be a sequel to what was planned for kitsumuck, but more. kitsumuck will remain online for those seeking kitsune roleplay.
i’ve also been working on a couple of stories. one is named “kitsurian chronicles”, and basically serves as the background to kitsumuck and evolution muck. the story itself is actually based off of plots that have taken place on IRC before kitsumuck even existed (hell, before kRPG). the other story…well, that will be revealed on the sixth.
i realize i haven’t been updating this much. oops.
anyways, not much has been going on, really. well, we did get ourselves into a two bedroom apartment, so i have my own bedroom. that is awesome.
today i set up a nethack server, and i don’t remember it being as painful as it was this time. i thank this blogger for guidance. it was enough to make me go postal. damn thing kept dying and wouldn’t tell me why. but i got it all working now, so that’s good.
on another note: pepsi and mountain dew throwback = awesome.
yeah, i finally broke down and got a facebook account. i’m pretty sure i’m going to be using it as regularly as my myspace account or livejournal account. not to mention deviantart and furaffinity. did i forget any other sites i have an account on?
anyways, yeah, i’m on facebook now. name me some other social networking sites that demand my joining. i’m fucking bored.
