Oh right, posting. Journals. HELLO.

I'm still working retail, but I've been brought on as a permanent part time employee from seasonal. This is...nice. I mean, obviously, it's better than the alternative of NOT being kept on, but it is not as good as having a job that has more regular hours, benefits, and which pays enough that, even if I can't afford to get my own place on it, at least I can save some money. Right now basically my entire check goes to The Debt, which is hard :( It feels a little like being on a hamster wheel; I'm not accomplishing anything, either at work or for myself in my own life, just...flailing. I really want to get going and it's frustrating that I kind of have to wait for someone to say "yeah, okay, you" and give me the opportunity to move forward. Job hunting (at least my experience thereof) is super soul-crushing in that you expend all this effort and the VAST majority of the time, you don't get anything back, not even a rejection. I think the analogy I used when talking to another recent grad friend was that it's like I'm in a ditch, and I keep pumping on the gas, but all I'm doing is getting mud all over myself.

...in slightly less depressing news, I've decided to take a class. I'm not sure which one yet, though right now I'm leaning towards sewing lessons. I'd just like to...do a thing and meet some people who like something that I like.

I'm also going to be attending LeakyCon this year! It's my first convention, and I'm very excited :D I'm plotting costume ideas already.

otherwise, I'm hanging out a lot on my tumblr, watching television, and baking cupcakes.
