    Should hopefully have some work in the next few weeks but til then I've a few things planned to keep me occupied. Funnily enough I'm looking forward to the aloneness for a bit, I've really been craving my space for a while and have sort of gone out of my way to try and get it. (I started by telling people to fup off then quit my job. Think I had a mini breakdown.)

    Got a start on the hallway yesterday, stripping wallpaper and sanding architrave. managed to take half the plaster off the walls in the process so it's already ended up costing me more money than I have to do it by myself which is typical. Kitchen and living room next and if that's not enough going to start c25k with my sister next week when her kids go back to school. Nicey.

    So was quiting the job the stupid thing?

    Done that about 5times myself!

    Trying to rain in the desire to do so again!

    At this moment in time, quiting my job would seem like utter lunacy, given the length of time it took to get my hands on this one in the first place. I have cosidered my own business as I love my own personal me time, but motivation would be a factor.

    honestly, no. Well, maybe a little stupid but think it was just time to go. I loved my job but I was getting comfortable and I was lucky enough that something else unexpectedly opened up the day after I quit so I'm kind of looking forward to new challenge. I feel like I've needed to get out of myself and the situation I've been in for a while, just had to get angry enough to want to change first.

    Oh anger is a great motivator and has certainly got me to this point. If only I had the energy to keep it going.

    Well I'm of the opinion that anger is a good thing when used correctly. Burn out is an absolute crime and I've experienced it more often then I would have liked too. The feelings of exhaustion and apathy can become alittle too much.

    I think that I've spent the last few years since I came out trying to keep a healthy balance between friendships and keeping a lot of other people happy and I had fitted into a role that was comfortable for other people, whether it was my job or with folk that I meet generally and I am so tired.
    Last month I changed my hair colour and my best mate made it clear that he preferred the "old" me. I work with him too but it was the straw that broke the camels back. I'm done with pleasing other people. The ones who don't like the changes can fup off.
    New job and new people and me being comfortable with who I am is what I'm looking forward to. (coincidentally my family approve much much more)

    It's my birthday on Sunday- I'll be the ripe old age of 24! D:
    I've yet to make plansd though as no-one will tell me if they're throwing a party or not. I don't like surprises.

    The weather's too unpredictable for a picnic, Fluff.
    I'd ideally like to go to the George for some kareoke but aside from the fact that I might cough up a lung in the middle of Like A Virgin, I've still got no idea if my folks already have something planned in advance.
    Will let y'all know if I can make it out. :/

    I'm really out of it today. Goddamn it brain snap to it for God's sake.

    Anyway I came in to say that I want to look like Andrej Pejic. Like as in this is my idealisation of what I could look like. And it's not fair. I look like this in my HEAD. Well. I'm not that hot in my head. But you know what I mean.

    Sigh.

    The afternoon before I lost my job in January I had a chat with a friend about how lucky we were to have jobs and how screwed up the country was.

    HA!

    Not one to wallow in self pity, I had quite a productive day. Ringing prospective employers and a walk around Galway in between. Had 2 phone interviews with guareented call backs.

    I'm all fit to scream blue murder. ****ing smokers have taken over the living room, forcing me to stay in my room all night. Then they complain that they never ****ing see me. ARGH! Why can't smoking be made illegal? I want it banned forever. Urgh.
    I need to move out. I don't know how much longer my lungs can put up with the passive smoke. *cries*

    Please the government is working on making us (smokers) illegal. But they still want our tax money! They know when they are onto a winner!

    Why don't you suggest a compromise Smoke outside or (at a push) the utility? I live with smokers we all smoke outside or in the utility with the door open.

    The poor neighbours when we get back from the pub!
