He's Just... Patrick.

It's been awhile... thought I'd check-in, say hi, let some steam out...

I still haven't found a job.
I haven't gone on a date in longer than I want to remember.
Ditto for getting laid.
I work for a little above minimum wage at a bookstore, but at least I'm getting out of the house.
I'm starting to like going to the gym.
I haven't found a new job which means I haven't had good food, a new DVD, new clothes, fast food, or anything else that constitutes an "unnecessary expense" for over 2 months.
I'm starting to think all those things are very necessary for one's mental health. ;)
The above also means that I still don't have a car that's mine.
The one I'm driving (my grandfather's tiny 90s pickup) probably isn't helping with the second and third statement on this list.
I'm slightly crushing on a completely inappropriate man, but it's nice to feel the blush and tingle and stomach clenches of a crush again.
I love my friends and my family, they've been more than fantastic.
Sometimes I hate my life very much and want someone to unhesitatingly be on my side-for once-so that I don't have to fight every freaking battle on my own, then I hate that I'm being all emo and lame and I watch something with gratuitous amounts of violence and feel better.
I'm starting to hate my for-right-now job and have to look for a second one to get me through this lean time...irony really is a kick in the stomach.

and the reason I really decided to post, and the reason you can feel free to blame for the useless waste of your friends page that you see above, is that I've gotten a new email addy and wanted to share it with you. If we're RL friends, or internet buddies that email sometimes, or you like having something to do when you're all caught up with your LJ friend's page and are waiting for the next post, please email me here: emmyhildy@gmail.com, so that I can add you to my new address book. (Do you see what I did there with my new email name?) ;)

That is all for now.
Good night, and sleep well.

Emmy out.
