Just because it's been April since I wrote anything. Let's see, what do we got here...
-Got a job, became a banker, got a raise, still there, on my way to another raise.
-Started my own business www.drawnandplastered.com with Holly Halftone, and it's very fun and very successful. This is my all-consuming passion right now. Being creative in many different ways, and bringing people together to inspire them and create beautiful new works of art is an amazing feeling.
-Still modeling, but it's not everything to me. I don't seek out photo shoots, but when a great photographer wants to work with me and I know their work kicks ass, I'm *so* there.
-I've met a lot of new friends through Drawn and Plastered who blow my mind with their awesomeness.
-Got my first couches that weren't handmedowns, which is quite the milestone. They are gorgeous.
-Read 30 books. The original goal was 12. Next year, 36!
-Got a new cat. Her name is Mouse. She's weird, but cute. She and Voltaire are starting to become friends.
-I feel closer than ever to making my childfree status absolutely official. We're trying again next spring, and if the doctor says yes, no-baby shower!
-I've become very close with my teenage cousin. Actually she's the daughter of my mom's cousin. But she's insanely awesome and I love her. If she didn't live out of province we'd be best friends.
-Me and my mom are close for the first time since I was like...5. She likes all my "weird" and even semi-nude pictures, supports the crap out of Drawn, and likes metal. She is now cool.
-Mike became a bus driver. It took a year and a half, but now he likes his job and compared to this time last year we are positively rolling in it.
-I'm happy to have been broke. That shit builds character.
-My back hurts and I'm sick of the bar scene, so tonight I want to sit at home with my friends, eat chocolate, and drink wine.

I'm a Banker!
Exciting, eh? No really, it's actually pretty cool. I graduated training today with flying colors, and I'm actually coming out of it feeling a lot more significant than I thought I would. I'm doing what my company prides itself on, providing great financial advice, thereby saving them money and giving them peace of mind ("peace of mind" actually comes up so often it's actually become somewhat of an inside joke among the trainees). It's more than just processing transactions.
Because I was so incredibly broke all winter, it helps me relate to and feel for a lot of my clients who are going through the same thing. It motivates me to help them s
It Has Begun!
As of Monday, I now work in finance for one of the largest companies in the world. It's a hell of a big difference from the years spent in customer service McJobs where hardly anybody is over the age of 22. The training is so intense that on Monday I was so tired I almost puked. Though nerves not letting me get any sleep the night before surely contributed. I've said it before, being new sucks balls. Good thing nobody is new forever. This looks like it's going to be a great place once I settle in. Everybody there is really nice, and I mean genuinely so, which is refreshing as hell.
I also have benefits now, which means I no longer have an e
Yay New Job!
So... the mental hospital (as is the simplest way to describe it) is a GOOD job. Maybe just not the best job for me. Of course I always knew that, but at the time, I really needed it. It has served me well.
I do want to make it clear however that I have no intention of quitting. I love my residents, I care for them and love seeing their smiles and little improvements, even if they do take place in what I consider to be a very depressing place. I feel bad for them, and I don't want to abandon them. I'm not so arrogant as to think many of them would care if I left, but I think a couple of them would, and it would make me feel better personally
I still have mixed feelings
Certain parts of my job (basically the part that lasts for a total of 4 hours on the night shift, and which I fear would betray confidentiality to go into in more detail) are grating on my last nerve the the point where when my shift ends, I barely have a single drop of sanity left. And no, it's not JUST what you think it is, but a combination of various frustrating things combined that alone would hardly phase me at all anymore. Even worse is the expectation that I should absolutely be capable of keeping my sanity in these conditions at all times, despite having done this about three times EVER. The last thing I want to hear when I'm doing s
