It feels like finally things are going to start getting better. For a while I've been under a lot of stress and emotionally I've been a scattered mess. There is good news, I got a job as a seasonal cashier at Wal-Mart. It's not the greatest job sure, but it's the best I can get. No one is hiring these days because as we all know the economy is still in the crapper. If someone who is CPR and AED certified can't get a job even after filling out well over fifty applications it means that there is something wrong with the economy. I know that my job at the moment is seasonal, but if I do well there is a possibility that they'll keep me as a part time worker which would be great. I hate my job at the Bowling alley and have wanted to quit for quite a while. If I get decent hours at Wal-Mart and move from seasonal to part time I can finally quit and clean my hands of that awful place.

School is still going well, but I need to work harder and study more. I've been preoccupied and distressed which has probably affected my grades a bit. I'm going to try really hard to make up for it. I think that now that a chunk of my stress is off my back I can do better again (the job thing was really getting to me).

Things are also still going quite well with Catdrake. We still see each other a lot and have fun together. I met his parents the other night which went well. They were nice people. Last night we watched REPO the Genetic Opera, Bowling for Columbine, and the Rifftrax that my buddy Saki-senpai lent us/him. It's been about a month and one week since we started dating. It feels a little weird still but not in a bad way. I've just been alone and thought of as "one of the guys" until now so it's a definite change in my life, but a good change. I think we might be in that medium stage where we can be apart and still function, but we still love being together with a little fluff on the side.

Things feel like they are finally changing which is great. For a while I've been distressed and felt stuck in place, but now I have reason to be optimistic. I really think that things are going to start changing for the better which I'm so glad for because the stress was really taking a toll on me. I think the only reasons that I managed to keep sane were that I've been through worse, and I have a lot of people that care for me and tried to cheer me up. Thank you guys for being here for me
Change is coming, and I look forward to seeing what's going to happen.
