*Shifty Eyes*

So he's finally gone, and I'm a little poorer, and hopefully a little wiser, than I was before. Though my temporary lapses in sanity seem to be getting, if not worse, then more serious. Though, I'm still not convinced that it might not have worked out with someone other than him. *shrugs* Point being, I've learned a new genre of the male gender to avoid... younger, and unemployed (yes, I know that's one of the obvious ones... >_> I learn slow, okay?). Altogether it was helpful, though. Seeing the things in him that I didn't want helped to clarify what I do want in a significant other. Also, next time I live with someone, I want my own bloody room.

Relationships, or mockeries thereof, aside... I'm still unemployed. The longer I wait, the more scared I am of trying to find a job. I need to get my ass in gear. The last two months weren't good for my savings. It will work out alright though. If times get bad enough, I can reapply at the place I quit earlier this summer. I think they'd rehire me, they need workers badly enough. But that's if I get desperate.

One of my friends just got back from a trip she took to Arkansas... and got engaged to someone she met online. I can't say I don't have my misgivings... not necessarily because of how they met, but because the guy is a bit of a patriachial, pompous ass. He talks like he can control what she does now, and it pisses me off royally. I think my friend will be able to handle him, and they might work out beautifully in the end, but I swear to every female goddess worshiped by mankind, if he ever abuses her I will take it on myself to immasculate him. ^_^

Holes

So, everyone digs themselves into holes occasionally, but mine are phenominal. Simply phenominal. Three-quarters of the people I know in the world still think I'm engaged, and if that weren't a big enough hole... I dug myself another one. I'm not sure if this one is worse or not, but I haven't been able to extridite myself yet. *sigh* You'd think I'd learn to avoid getting myself into scrapes after all this time.

School has started for most of my friends now. I'm really missing it... I really like being in school. That and since I quit the tech job I'm unemployed again. I'm not in trouble yet... but loans are looming until I can get them deferred. At least the cost of living is pretty low where I am now.

Oh yes, and I went and watched the movie Serenity. It was a very beautiful and wonderful thing. Seriously, it kept all the character and humor of the series, added to the story, and brought a little bit of resolution to the story without being too complete. I loved it. Even if I was cuddled up in my theater seat hiding from the scaries and crying at the sad parts.
