Sep. 22nd, 2009 03:16 amI've been too too quiet. I should at least give you an update of what's going on:
THE SITUATION:
I'm currently still in Seattle, living in a basement room at Erin's house (a place I've somehow come to call "Casa Lindsey" over the years). The landlord prolly knows I'm living here, but hasn't said anything about it as of yet. I owe a lot of money to a collection agency, and they've started calling. Erin just got a job, and Lissa and Morgan make enough to keep me here. I pay what I can when I can.
The job search has been pretty fruitless. I got a nibble from a company which has a pretty bad reputation among my Globex coworkers, but they never called me back for the open position. I'm hoping to make enough gas money before the end of October so I can head back to Texas. If I find a job before then, that pays enough, I'll stay. But the more I send in resumes, the less I feel like it'll happen.
Life here isn't bad at all. Erin and I have an office upstairs where we do our comics (and plan out our prospective Project Primer and non CS/VE stuff). I spend a lot of time here, mainly because it's got good Feng Shui - the creative juices flow there. My room is small, but livable. I've often said I could live in a hobbit hole, and I am now, and it's cozy. If I could put away a few more boxes, it'd be great.
SO all in all, things are not bad at all. I'm hoping I can hit the jackpot of either a good job, or money for Texas. While I like living in Casa Lindsey with everyone, I'm not happy staying in Seattle. But if I stay, at least I could save up some cash.
We'll see what happens.
My mood, however, is mostly numb. Thinking about staying in Seattle depresses me. Thinking about leaving Emily behind depresses me. Thinking about my lost independence depresses me. Thinking of all the missed opportunities this summer (visiting the mountains), depresses me. I do what I can not to think about any of this, but this results in me just feeling numb. I don't think there will be a DORWC this year - I simply don't have the oomph for it (Closetspace is running on the fumes of my creative mood as it is).
So that's where I am in a nutshell. Holding patterns.
