Hi! VampireFairyWitch left me a comment and I miss her so I'm going to update this on life. I GRADUATED! WOOHOO! No more college for me! I took extra classes so I could graduate a semester early, so now I'm chilling at home. College was overall unsatisfying, punctuated by a few fun friends. I dunno. It was weird. I didn't like being so far from home and my friends back here. My college was a small Christian one, and let's just say that while some teachers were more open-minded than others, it was a little bizarre to hear some opinions that I thought were a little cult-y. It was something like 60-70% girls, so I didn't date much. Literally every guy I had romantic feelings/flirtations with either had girlfriends, fiances, or wives (most of which were concealed). At one point I was a bit too much of a teacher's pet for this young guy. My brain must've been fried or something. He gave me this whole speech about how he'd separate from his wife and implied it would be so I would date him. It was bizarre. I actually really liked him but contented myself with the fantasy of us going out because it would never work in real life. Probably TMI but still. By the end of college I was distancing myself from some of my friends because we all lived off-campus for the most part and didn't see as much of each other. I was on the school paper. I LOVED IT. I got to see my besties pretty much every day because of classes and we were basically giggly little schoolgirls. I was in a couple of shows, mostly student-directed ones. That was vaguely valuable because I met some really awesome people, even if the shows themselves weren't awesome.
I really got into fanvidding, and joined two collab studios! They're really supportive so I made a few online friends that way (one of them is from France! Who would've guessed?). Because of this vidding, I am now obsessively into some new fandoms. Vampire Diaries probably has me the hardest even though I end up yelling at the TV most of the time ("KISS HER YOU FOOL!"). It's somewhat embarrassing, but I have a high tolerance for dramatic shows like that. What else am I watching? Um, "The Challenge: Exes," "Once Upon a Time," "Jersey Shore," and "Modern Family." I've been on a mystery kick recently and have been reading a lot of Agatha Christie. This one book keeps evading me at the library! I'll get it one day... Game-wise, I played Skyrim for approximately a billion hours and am now testing my hand at Uncharted 3. I am terrible at being sneaky. No espionage for me.
The job search is exhausting. I just want to give up most of the time. It's so draining to answer questions about my nonexistent criminal record, desired salary, etc. I've literally lost count as to how many I've applied for. I made it to the top 5 applicants for this one awesome job right by my house but then I didn't get it :'( Lame. I hate waiting for responses. Most of the calls/emails I get are for sketchy-sounding insurance sales. I'm crossing my fingers that something awesome will happen, but in the meantime it's just an endless chain of uploading my resume.
Two of my friends are getting married and asked me to stand up. I'm excited and terrified at the same time. These particular friends are known for being a little crazy. Oh and one of them just found out she's pregnant so she's going to wait until the baby is born to get married. It's one big facepalm to me, especially the bridesmaid dresses. I don't know how to be a good bridesmaid. I guess I'll learn, but most of the time I just want to be a guest. Le sigh. Okay that's all for now. Mucho love.
