Update chika chika.

I got let go from my shitty job about 3 months ago. They wanted to hire a new accountant but didn't want to pay for an accountant and a receptionist. So. It's been a little rough, mainly cause I tend to lose my mind very easily when I have nothing to do, which in turn means I'm rarely sober. But it's fine.

I got to see Conor Oberst, Green Day and Badly Drawn Boy during the year. They were all fucking amazing.

I've rekindled my obsession with Noel Fielding and everyone I know is sick to the teeth of hearing about it. It's hilarious.

Literally nothing else has been going on, just thought I might as well update.

Hope any of you that are still around are well.

Journal title is from here:

How's it going?

Thought I might as well update this, seeing as I haven't in close to a year. Again.

 I'm still working in the previously mentioned job. Coming up on a year here. I have a general grasp on what I'm doing. I still transfer calls in a weird way but it seems to work.

 I'm drawing pretty often. I'm just not submitting much because I don't really bother with this site anymore. It's more a place to put it all so that when I eventually physically wreck my sketchpad, stuff is relatively safe somewhere.

 I'm trying to get used to being on my own, rather than relying on other people to make me happy. David and I are all good. But I don't trust anyone not to let me down anymore, and building friendships just seems pretty pointless these days. Everyone eventually drifts away. It's easier to be a tourist in my own life. Such is life in your mid 20s, I suppose.

I've been on this site for nearly 10 years. Good lord.

I'm going to see Conor Oberst perform for the first time in February and I am going to cry the whole way through it.

If any of you are still around/ casually checking this site every now and then; I hope you are well and life is treating you right.

Hi to anyone still out there.

New job is going well. I've settled in pretty well and I'm fairly on top of how to run the place smoothly by now.

niswaen and her husband recently moved to Ireland and they lived with me and David for a few weeks. It was awesome! Even though they moved out, we still live super close to each other. It's so nice having her here.
We went on a 'Girl's Night Out' on Saturday (which consisted mainly of us deciding last-minute to go searching for my tiny trainee hairdresser friend, exploring various pubs in the area and fucking about on swings at 11:30pm).
We never actually found the tiny hairdresser. It was still good.

My social life has gone into a realm of insanity because everyone involved is completely and legitimately insane. The 'main' member of our group checked out of real life for a few weeks and I haven't seen him since the start of April and don't know if I ever will again.
I'm very messed up right now, to be completely honest. I feel like I'm living half a life. I miss my friends, the life I was living, and how I felt just two months ago. I almost wish I'd never experienced it because the comedown is the worst thing in the world.
But I suppose life has to go on, even when it feels like this.

I've submitted some stuff recently and I've been hanging around the forums on and off. Nothing major, this site has really moved on since the old days. But I'm still around.

I hope you are all doing well.

I GOT A FUCKING JOB!

It's been a waiting game for the last 4 years; working for nothing/ working for half of minimum wage/ working on getting my diploma/ working for a third of minimum wage. But finally!

I'm gonna be working 3 days a week as a receptionist/ personal assistant in a lovely accountants office and I am so delighted!

I also currently have the tightest group of friends I've had in my whole life and I could not be fucking happier.

They inspire me to draw. They inspire me to live. They are so beautiful. I never believed I could be so fortunate.

Plus niswaen and her ~husband~ are moving over here in less than a month!

I'm happy. I'm so fucking happy. Finally.

Hi.

Just letting you know I'm still here, if any of you still are.

                           

Mini update:

 I've returned once again to the fun life of the unemployed. /sarcasm 
It sucks, but at least since my last journal, I've gotten a lot more experience in a few different sectors and I'm a qualified Medical Secretary now. So there's that.

 Me and David are still going strong, and have been talking about marriage and getting a mortgage (once I'm employed and able to save towards it). We went to Sweden last August and still intend to see all of Scandinavia within the next few years. I no longer fear being an adult.

My mental health has been awful due to the afore mentioned unemployment, but I'm clawing my way out of the void one day at a time and it's working. It's not a bad life.

                          

If any of you are the kind of people who can afford to spend money on awesome art that will receive on a monthly basis, then have a look at this:

It's not me, it's Katey. If you follow me for a long time, you know who Katey is. 

                          

Title inspired by 'Space Oddity' by the late and great David Bowie. RIP you pioneer.
