There is a serious lack of updates going on at the moment, but that's because there's a lack of anything interesting going on in my life. It's starting to get quite depressing really. But saying that, I had an emotional roller coaster ride last week and I'm still not entirely sure what the hell is going on. I'm all over the place and don't know what to do with myself, and I know that the only person I can blame for it, is myself. But hey, the only good thing about it is that I didn't eat for 4 days and ended up losing more weight....which is progress, right? But I'm in such a state of limbo, that I have no idea what "tomorrow" will bring. And now, I've turned this LJ all EMO, which I said I wouldn't do. But nothing is ever set in stone and things can change all of a sudden without a moments notice.

Apologies for the lack of updates, but there hasn't really been much going on. Been working, which is a good thing as it means money at the end of the month. But other than that, it's been pretty quiet. Oh yeah....I got a promotion at work. I am now Supervisor, as it seems that the current supervisor can't cope on his own. I was wondering if it would be worth it, but as it's slightly more money, it would be stupid of me not to take it.
And so that's it....nothing really interesting to report. Hopefully May will bring some more excitement.

I've been playing the latest installment in the Resident Evil series, and even though I have yet to complete it (I'm so close to the end, I can taste it...Mmm...BRAINS)...I think it's brilliant. Even though, in my opinion, nothing will ever come close to the original on the PSone (or even the remake on the GameCube), which used to scare the hell out of me. I thought for a while that maybe, it was because I had become accustomed to the whole thing, but I played a bit of F.E.A.R.2 over the weekend.....and I ended up having to turn the game off at some points because I couldn't play it in the dark. And even in the daylight, it managed to make me jump a couple of times and I ended up swearing at the TV, pausing the game and having a break from it for a while. Okay, so I am and always have been a bit of a wuss when it comes to games like that. The worst instance being Silent Hill: The Room....I didn't manage to get past the first cut scene before turning it off. Unfortunately, Resi 5 hasn't has that effect on me, but it's nice to see familiar characters that I spent so much time with in the past, and with the addition of multi-player campaign, it makes this game a winner. I will be playing it for a while.....
And now, thinking of games that made an impact on my life takes me onto yet another game on the PSone...The Clocktower. It wasn't the best game that I have owned, but it has been the base of a long standing joke for years. And even though this will be totally lost on all but one person, I'm still going to say it...... SIDEGATE MAN!!!

Michael has gone to Virginia today for a week. It's going to be the longest we have had no communication for a year, and it's already feeling weird as I now have nothing to do, as we usually talk until from 10pm-ish until the early hours of the morning. But it does mean that I can finally get a decent amount of sleep. Unfortunately, it also means that I lose my sleep pattern that I have perfected over the 11 months.
Luckily, I have work to keep my mind off things, which wouldn't have happened a month and a half ago. I would have ended up sitting at home for hours, sulking and getting upset. So, now I have the days filled, it's the nights that I have to deal with. But, I have suddenly become stupidly addicted to C.S.I. which is on nearly every night. Plus, I decided to dig out the old chipped Xbox, with the stupid amount of games and emulators saved on the hard drive...so if that doesn't keep me amused, then I don't know what will.

Work isn't too bad, especially now that the store has actually opened and the franchise manager has gone (I wasn't the only one who thought he was an ignorant tosser). We have been open for 2 days and I already feel quite comfortable with certain aspects of the job. Today I was informed that all the staff will be getting trained in testing, which is good news as I feel that could possibly open up a few doors for me later down the line.
So what with things changing here, there's a lot going on Stateside too. Michael will be starting a new job and moving to his new apartment in 2 weeks. He's already feeling a bit stressed about it all, and saying that he feels as if his whole life is changing. I'm just wondering if it's for the better? Unfortunately, before all of this starts, he's going down to Virginia for a week or so to help his younger brother move, who is going through a divorce. It's quite worrying as all 3 of them have been divorced....just hoping that's it and that there are no more in the future!! Also, with all this going on, it makes it hard to sort out a date for my pending visit. It would be nice to know soon, as I really need to let work know, otherwise I might not get the time off. Dunno what I'll do if they say no..... could end up losing my job!!
Enough now....apart from this, which made me smile...

But after saying all of that, 2 months isn't really that long. It's only 8 Saturdays/Sundays...16 days in total. And considering this year is flying by... I'm sure that 2 months will be gone before I even know it.
And on a completely different note..... I have become strangely addicted to jam sandwiches.

I GOT THE JOB!!
It's not the position that I originally went for, but they have offered me a chance to train up and hopefully get there eventually. But to be honest, I don't care....it's a job at the end of the day and that's all that I care about, especially with so many people out of work or getting laid off, I'm counting myself lucky. But it's been a long time coming. I was getting sick of sending C.Vs and covering letters, bored of filling in application forms.
They want me to do some training before I start officially, which is okay with me. But it could be as soon as tomorrow. Just waiting for a phone call to confirm. And then I officially start on Monday in the store that I will be based at.
The only thing I am worried about is that they want 2 references. One being from an employer. Now, the most recent one is Forbidden Planet and considering the way I "left", I'm not too sure if I will get one. But, from what I can recall, they have given me a reference before for an interview that I went to months ago. I have emailed the HR department and I'm hoping to get a reply from them soon. I'm hoping that my luck hasn't run out!!

I don't want to jinx anything but things have really picked up over the past week or so. Infact this year has been a whole load of new starts. More for him than me though. But in the end, it'll be my turn for the "new beginning"...if things all go in the right direction.
And if this job interview goes my way on Friday...I'll be the happiest person in Beckenham...nah, scrap that....Kent!! I feel like dancing in the streets right now...but like I said, I don't want to jinx it. My luck will run out at some point.

So, this has put me in a good mood for the evening. And it seems that my chances of getting the "2009 hat trick" are getting better and better. I'm trying not to get my hopes up too much, but I can't help it.
Also, things with Michael seem to be at a high at the moment. In the week leading up to his divorce getting finalized, we were arguing a lot. But since Thursday, things seem to be all very calm and loving. And as he's said, it's time to put Phase 2 of "The Plan" into action. I'm not entirely sure how long this will take, but at least it's a step in the right direction.
I don't think anything could crush my mood at the moment.

There's still nothing interesting going on. Michael gets his divorce today...which is brilliant and it feels like I have been waiting for this for ages. I'm a bit confused as to how he feels about the whole thing, as some days he'll say things like, "2 days to go and I'm free to marry you", but then he can be a bit pissed off about the whole thing. I can kind of understand, as I'm sure that when you get married, divorce doesn't even cross your mind. I just let him have his say, as it's probably his way of coping with things.
Have been getting slightly addicted to Twitter, but not too bad. Even though I have installed Tweet Deck to my laptop so I don't miss anyone's Twitterings, I can actually go days without even looking at it. For a while, I felt as though I was ignoring Live Journal and picking Twitter over it, but with the amount of "non-updates" and the fact that nothing interesting is going on for me to update about, micro blogging is the way to go...for now. But...never fear....when things finally do start picking up again...Live Journal will be the first to know about it.
Also, sometimes I feel like a bit of a stalker on Twitter, as I seem to be following more and more celebrities (Stephen Fry, Jonathon Ross and Philip Schofield being my favorites). But surely, if they didn't want us to know about what they are going to be eating for lunch or when they are going to bed, they wouldn't be on there. I suppose, it's like the question, "what's the point of blogging, if you are going to make all the posts private?" Personal preferences and whether or not you want peoples knowing the ins and outs of your life. Even I have been known to have the odd locked post.....
And Nemi has once again been keeping me amused with her gaming obsession.....

- 11:54 I wonder what today will bring me? Internet mooching, coffee and Twitter....how exciting!!
And not just for the obvious reason. I have ALWAYS wanted to go since I was very young. I have never really been interested in going anywhere else. People always say about visiting Australia, South America, Thailand etc...but it's never really appealed to me. Now, if someone were to offer me a trip to those places for free, then I wouldn't say no. Maybe it was my upbringing and growing up listening to Rock N Roll, that got into my head and made me think that the U.S. is the greatest place in the world. Who knows? But as my musical preferences grew and most of my favorite bands come from America, it became a place where all the "cool" people come from.
Obviously, at the moment, New York is THE place that I have to visit first, what with having a boyfriend that lives there. But one day, and I know that

kittyvondanzig will agree with me on this, I will have to make a pilgrimage to a certain cemetery in Arlington, Texas, to pay my respects to a certain hero of mine who was taken from us too early. Also places like Seattle, New Jersey, California, Florida.... I may as well just list all the states as I want to see it all. An even better plan.....ROAD TRIP!!!!

But, to be honest, if someone were to give me a nice bunch of red roses, I certainly wouldn't complain. Maybe, I don't like it because I've never been with who really cares for it or wasn't overly romantic. Even though I did have a great Valentines evening a few years back...but I won't go into details.
This year, even though I'm in relationship, it still doesn't mean too much to me, probably because of the fact that he's over 3000 miles away. But I did have a creative moment the other day and decided that I would make him a card, which in my opinion, is better than anything that's shop bought.
