Still Alive
9 years ago
Just letting the two or three people who still care know that I'm still here. 2016 was a tough year, but nowhere near as tough as it was for most of you, so now I'm worried that apparently breaking my "bad shit happens in years ending in 6" curse is to blame for 2016 being, well, 2016. Yeah, I know...if it wasn't so disrespectful to so many people, I'd probably find a way to blame myself for the Holocaust, too.
Most recent updates: I've been diagnosed with high blood pressure and hypertension in addition to my ongoing clinical depression, but, despite my medical insurance being cut off on Jan 1st, I still managed to leverage it into getting a "companion animal" added to my lease. I adopted a cat a couple days before Christmas, a little troublemaking amber-eyed tortoise-shell named Aesling, or Ashe for short (named for a character from the YouTube series "Thrilling Intent"). I'm...still adjusting to permanently sharing my living space with something for the first time in over a decade, but so far, so good.
No real updates on the school or job front, other than me getting my first F in, of all classes, web design, the thing I used to do professionally back in the 90s...since I need to schedule an appointment with a guidance counselor (or whatever they're called these days) due to many of the classes I need for my IT certificate no longer being offered, I'm going to see what can be done about that since it was a horrible class that the teacher didn't actually teach, having us sign up for a Lynda.com account and grade each others' final assignments.
I've also been trying to teach myself how to actually build and paint the Frame Arms Girls kits that I've been hoarding by getting back into Transformers customizing. I might have my first efforts, a Combiner team based on one of the most reviled pieces of TF lore ever inflicted on the franchise (even more hated than Bay), within the month...a disappointment to those who only like me for kaiju girl porn, but fuck you.
Beyond that, I'm just living my life, safety pin on my work shirt and cat grass and kitty litter in my carpet, trying to survive what is looking to be a rough period for all of us.
Stay safe, people.
