| Writers Needed! |
[Jul. 22nd, 2007|03:26 pm] |
So, my roleplay forums are in need of some new blood (blooooooooood! mmm!) and I was wondering if anyone in LJ land was of vaguely of a writey persuasion and wanted to come play with us?
Premise;
Welcome to Superior City, Wi. A place of beauty and interest sitting on the banks of the great Lake Superior. To your average tourist Superior is a friendly all-American city, and some come back year after year to take in the surroundings. Little do these tourists know not all is well and 'normal' within Superior.
The locals have their secrets. Dark secrets. They hide their ghostly urban legends and mysterious deaths, but most importantly they hide parts of themselves. The people of Superior are all touched by something otherworldly and it affects them all differently. In some there is little affect, only an increased awareness for the supernatural, but in others it's far worse..
Unnaturals. People with bewildering powers that defy nature itself.
You are a citizen of Superior. Be you natural or unnatural you have a decision to make - will you fight to keep your city's secrets safe or will you shout them to the heavens?

So, I lied, I didn't get to posting here more often, bad Kay, naughty Kay, no bikkit!
So it comes time for me to post an update, and now I'm sat here staring at my screen I can't think of much to say - haha! I suck!
Health wise I'm still on an emotional rollercoaster but finally have some meds that seem to be working even if the dosage makes me think I may genuinely be an utter fruitloop! Still I have a lovely occupational therepist who's helping me too; I'm slowly learning the world won't swallow me whole if I step outside my front door on my own.
Paul and I have been married over a year now (wow how time flies!) We spent a lovely long weekend in Dublin to celebrate and got to see a lot of pretty sights and drink Guiness and Irish Mist so yay to that!
I'm drawing a lot on my computer, mostly pixel by pixel in MSPaint despite my owning both Photoshop and Paintshop, sometimes the draw of nostalgia is just too strong! I actually have people willing to pay me money for the silly things I draw and one lovely lady even commissioned me to do some custom bits for her! I guess the interweb is filled with crazies with too much money! Heh!
Other than that a lot of my time is going into my RP forums, writing plots to stomp upon my lovely playerbase and desperately searching for good writers to nag into joing to increase said wonderful playerbase ~ I think I need to break out the virtual cookies to lure people in with, that or making clear the fact we have a lot of good writers already and it really helps to hone ones writing finesse when co-operatively writing a scene with someone as good or better than you!
I'm still doing the tabletop roleplay thing but haven't done LARP it quite a while now, I'm actually vaguely missing it. Hopefully soon i'll be well enough that the idea of rubber-swording once more doesn't make me twitch at the idea of crowded battlefields!
So, todays update was brought to you by the letter B! B for Babble kiddies! |

| Holy Hell! Another Update! |

Fear meh! I still remember I have one of these *happy dance*
So, not a lot to tell really. Had a birthday, am even more oldified! There was a christmas and a new year, they slid by happily without a big fuss.
My mood is still all over the place but I'm plodding along as best as I can, not doing too badly i don't think.
Oh yeah, my current distraction and pride and joy that people should go join:
Because I had my forum with people with powers Paul decided that he wanted to run a Serenity/Firefly board! Of course he wanted to run it but not set it up so, after many hours I know have it mostly set up and we're open for business :) |

Well I guess it's time I got back to updating this little hunk of junk! I've missed you guys!
Unfortunately I've beenm signed off of working for quite some time with anxiety and depression and didn't want to flood LJ land with upset over that. The last thing you want is posts from little old me declaring 'Oh lords! I've lost my mind!' So be glad, I saved you!
I have now been married over half a year and couldn't be happier! Paul is a wonderful husband and I'm still all mushy with happiness! The wedding and honeymoon were amazing and photo type things can be seen here.
Other than that I've been trying to keep myself busy while I relearn that the outside isn't as scary as my brain keeps telling me it is so I've been doing a lot of things;
*I ressurected my love of cartoon dolls - My Site (it has sexy pirates!)
*I started to listen to a lot of J-Rock (all my new friend Yumeko's fault - I swear!)
*I've been roleplaying a lot.
*I've also been running some roleplay - I'm now running a D&D group through the Age of Worms which is nifty. I also set up an RP forum with an online friend that you should all join - it has people with powers, what more do you want? Clink the link:
So yah! Long story short - I live. Any questions? |

Well I'm due to start my job on Monday and go into Randstad today to sign my contract. Whether or not I get to sign said contract may be a little in the air now *sigh*
We had people over for silly card games and roleplay related things last night and Lynn mentioned that she had a worried member of staff from Randstad in the shop. Apparently Randstad had asked T-Shirt Print for a reference and Lynn had filled out most of it but had sent it off to Charlotte to fill in the rest and apparently this member of Randstad was worried because under the 'reason for leaving' part of the reference form Charlotte wrote 'dismissed', and nothing more. How bad does that sound? Lynn says she sorted it out and explained why (or at least why she thought) I had been fired. This fills me with further dread as she was telling me about this and she was largely sounded as though she bimbled at him and gave him no real reason. So yes I was a little mopey last night as Lynn afterwards defended Charlotte's use of the word dismissed and then 5 minutes later was slating everything about the company and head office, so if they're giving me headaches you'll defend them but if it's you they're messing with it's horrendous?
Lynn, I know you occasionally(/rarely) read livejournal, so if you stumble across this I apologise for the rant. I still love you dearly, you're one of my best friends, it's just an awful situation. Losing my job was bad enough without the 'good reference' I was promised being this.. |

Well the waiting for my new job to start (roll on Monday!) has finally driven me over the edge. I appear to be in an utterly random mood..
The icon I'm using for this post should be evidence for this, I was digging through old cam photos and found this photo from the Southern Regional 2003. It made me giggle so much I had to do something with the image. Ah, the joys of turkey baster coversations melting braincells.. |

First off many thankyous to those of you who wished me luck, you're all super spiffy! *hugs*
I am now employed ^.^ I start on the 7th, doesn't look like it'll be a fantastic job but work is work and it is well paid which is a nice bonus.
It appears that the interview was largely the company making sure Ranstad hadn't sent idiots or psychopaths (whee! I flew under the radar! *happy dance*)
To celebrate I bought myself some liquorice twists and a toffee apple, these are good victory foods in Kayland, and soon there will be the coffee and whee!dom..
In other news my flat smells like tarmac, this does not amuse me. I'm still yet to work out why they decided to completely resurface the road outside but ho hum, headaches ahoy from tarmac smell and pneumatic drill sounds.
In geekery news I feel the need to announce I'm really officially geeky. I have a character on an online RPG that has reached level 40 o.O OK it has taken months and it's not like it's level 50 (yet..) But yes my little scrapper on City of Heroes has reached level of epicness (fear meh!)
But yes i think that's it for news for now.. |

I'm about to leave for an interview, I feel quite ill. Interviews and people who have just gotten over colds do not mix well. To put the icing on the cake it's a group interview so there will be several other people there to watch my spectacular flailing within the interview. I just hope there's at least one person worse than me in the group then I can feel a bit better about myself (I know that is an awful thing to hope but I blame it on the nerves!
OK, so it's not for a fantastic job but it looks like they're going to be hiring a lot of staff as it's for a call centre (taking inbound calls - no icky double glazing selling for me) I'm still amazingly nervous though.
What also makes me nervous is the fact I only have limitied idea where this place is and Ranstad (who organised the interview) have already said that the one thing the company are really fussy over is punctuality. Now I'm going to attempt to get there early but I know what I'm like when I try to get somewhere early I get there way too early and end up just getting in the way.
I know most of you don't want this on your friends page first thing on a Tuesday morning but I'm feeling twitchy and writing it all down is helping me focus myself a bit better. |

Guess it's time I updated again. I had a fun spoddy weekend in London and then got ill.. *sigh*
I'm just about over the icky cold thing and am about to head into town to smile sweetly at recruitment agencies. I have applied for 2 jobs thus far and considering I've been lurgyfied I think that's pretty good going.
So yes, my life has hit a dull stretch but I'm using this as a time to reevaluate what I'm doing with my life. I'm now applying for officey junior type positions as shop work has driven me up the wall over the past few years. Hopefully I'll then be able to save up a bit and one day perhaps get to university which would be spiffy.
But that's the lot for now as I need to actually get going otherwise I'll never get to the agencies today :P |

Oh yeah, now my head is a bit clearer I remember the ever charming line from Charlotte:
"We were hoping the situation would resolve itself and you'd find yourself another job"
So, head office was sat there waiting for me to jump? *sigh* No wonder I never felt appreciated in that job. Oh, also..
"If Lynn were to leave i wouldn't be happy leaving you in charge of the shop"
So, you can see that Lynn is thinking of leaving and wouldn't want me as a manager in your company thus I need removing from the part time position so someone you'd like to see managing that shop can be put there? OK on that one i may be boredering on a little irrational but I've hit the point of shock where you keep recalling what happened, bits of which are crystal clear.
Oh, also thankyou to everyone who's responded to my last post you're all stars *hugs* |

| |  crushed, rejected, useless | ] |
Today I got fired from my job. This is the first time in my life I have been fired from a job, I feel distinctly unwell.
So, I walk to work to find Charlotte the General Manageresque person in, I felt a little deflated but she was due to come in to check the shop and things.. But then she took me upstairs for a quiet word and gave me a weeks notice, I don't have to work it as I have a lot of holiday due and I then had to hand my key in, turn around and head home again.
Apparently they've been thinking about doing this for a while (nice of them to give me some kind of official warning - and she's somehow suprised that shock hit me and I burst into tears on her), I'm not enthusiastic enough about the job apparently (fair dues I'm not but I tried) and this is reflected in my sales (if people don't walk through the door I can't sell to them can I?!?) Oh yes, and the reason I was told today is that they've put an advert for my job in the paper, TODAY'S paper, I'm so glad I didn't do what I was planning on doing today which was heading into town early to pick up a copy of the paper before work.
I feel sick.
That's about all I can say right now, I'm still in shock. There may be more later. |

| More firefly geekery.. |
[Oct. 10th, 2005|05:17 pm] |
A couple of tutorials later I have another firefly icon (it's my day off and boredom sunk in) It's still far from as good as I think I can do but I've been working on it for a little while and it's the best i could do with what I had and still manage to keep it below 40k (working with lots of colours and animation can be a pain in the butt) But anyways, here's the icon, I think it's OK, there may or may not be an actual proper update from me at some point soon..

A group of us went to see Serenity last night, if you are one of the people who did not see it before release or pounced it yesterday, go see it! No, really!
Loved the film but the experienced was marred a little by a couple of factors, which I will hide behind an LJ cut as I'm only half awake and while I'll try not to spoil anything I may phrase something wrong and people may get spoilerage from reading between the lines. So if you haven't seen it either don't read on or just try not to read too much into what I'm about to say.

It's been a while hasn't it? Time has been odd lately, it appears to have both dragged and flown by. I'm not awake enough to post a proper update right now but I thought it best to at least let people know I'm still alive and my life is plodding along.
Oh, also I finally started watching Firefly, and am now studeously avoiding any Firefly/Serenity related posts as I'm only a DVD and a half in and I'm likely to maim anyone who tells me anything that happens from this point onwards.. also:
*Giggle* I may have gotten a little bored, by no means my best icon ever but I got bored and that was a quickly thrown together one. |

It's almost sorted Matt has set up a payment scheme but I am going to be sent forms to fill out for liability purposes, if he does not keep up with payments then I can be held liable. If he doesn't keep up with payments he's in for a really rough time from myself and Paul.
But I also had some fantastic news this morning, Paul's mum has agreed to pay for our wedding reception and his dad is paying for our honeymoon as our wedding present - whee! That has helped me calm down a fair bit. |

I know, I know, long time no update but I've been busy with things and now I'm on my own and as I have nobody to talk to I feel the need to get things out somehow.
Wow, I know I've been screwed by people I thought were my friends before but I was hoping that was all behind me.
After my parents came to visit I've been really stressed over money things, I haven't had a chance to relax properly since then and a few days ago I got a summons from the council, apparently I owe over £500 in back council tax for my previous home. I paid Matt and Mia who I shared with this money and the council tax was meant to come out of their account. Of course as it wasn't paid the council are perfectly within their rights to demand it from me but still I feel physically sick that it didn't get paid and if it doesn't get sorted (Paul has gone with matt to go sort it right now which is why I'm on my own) I could end up in court. I was starting to think that I can't afford to get married next year without all of this.
It all just leads me to strengthen my notion that I just shouldn't trust most people, I'm sick of people I think are my friends saying mean things about me and doing things that make my life hell.
Now I'mn crying too much to type, hope you're all having nice days, my rant is over, move along now.. |

| The update has landed.. |
[Jun. 3rd, 2005|05:44 pm] |
Whee! update time, I've had my City of Heroes fix and have largely collected my thoughts just about enough to get them all written down.
Right, stuff. Well Paul and I have been living together for over a month now, we have a fantastic quite large flat right near the seafront, we've even started getting bills in both our names, how scary and grown up is that? Speaking of scary and grown up Paul and I celebrated our first anniversary on May 1st and he proposed! We're getting married at the end of April next year. I suppose I really should go into details on this one as it's all so terribly major.
For our anniversary Paul and I largely receated the weekend we first started going out. We had lunch at The Goose, the pub we ate lunch at with Jeb and Evil on the May day weekend the year before, only this time it was just the two of us and there was much silly conversation. We went to the same bank holiday fair as last year and I now have an abundance of shoddily made cuddly toys to add to the pink bear Paul won for me last year (it's part of how he whooed me you see, in pre-historic times the cavemen would show off their hunting skills to impress women, now instead of actual hunting and carcasses there are silly shooting and fishing games that win you deformed teddies - yay!) We spent some time in the arcades again, whee bouncy dance machine joy! We had dinner in the same restaurant we did the year before and then we went to the cinema. I'm sorry if this is a little disjointed as it was just such a fantastic filled day I'm not entirely sure what happened when it's all a big happy blur really. Then (now this bit I remember) we walked along the seafront and Paul led me down onto the beach, he hugged me tightly and told me what I meant to him, he then took the small box out of his pocket, showed me the ring, which is a thin white gold band with ten diamonds set into it with a white gold x over the middle of the line of diamonds (which looked fantastic in the small amount of light there was around - streetlights reflecting off of the water and things) and asked me to marry him. I think my response was something along the lines of a tearful "Of course I will!" So yes, much excitement over that one!!
On to less serious and slightly less exciting matters. I had a fantastic time at Oblivion two weeks ago, an end of the world scenario and I lived!! This was largely due to my hopping through a portal to somewhere away from the huge battle as quickly as possible! My god told me to so I shouldn't feel guilty over that one *nods* but whee! my character is a high priestess! Crappest high priest ever!! I had to stay out of some of the fights later in the weekend unfortunately as on the saturday I was fighting when a dwarf (stupid plot making PvP stuff happen) I got hit once and he called 'death' on me, so rather confused by the call i just fell to the ground, I knew I could always find a ref later to ask what was going on with it. Unfortunately this fight was during one of the periods it was absolutely tipping it down with rain, I then had to lie on the floor in the rain for the next 10/15minutes as people tried to a ref to find out what had happened to me and as several different types of healers threw all manner of healy junk at me. My character lived which is fab but the cold from being in the wet too long sunk into my muscles and I couldn't run around as much after that due to the aching. Overall abysmal weather but quite a fun game :)
Paul, Chris, Hannah and I went to see Star Wars last weekend. Mmmm.. much special effects joy! The film benefitted greatly from George Lucas having a checklist of things he needed to get done, no randomly wandering off with the plot here. I need an R2-D2 though! Much flamey death!!!
That'll do for now, overall I'm alive and things are quite good.. |
