Hey everybody, new journal time!

And for once I finally feel relieved, and that my path in life is starting to lift.

My mom recently got a full-time job at the local dog track/casino as a restaurant hostess. Since she had quite a bit of experience working back as one back when we lived in Vegas, she was a shoe-in for the position. The place is fun to hang around at, too. Though I like it here better than in the city, I have to admit that it feels a little nostalgic walking around a high-energy and noisy casino. x3

I think there, employees can even have family members working too. A job there would be much more fun than at Taco Bell I bet; lot more working with people, lot less working with food, probably a lot less trying to my patience.

And anyway, the reason I'm happy for the moment, is that now my family no longer just has my and my stepdad's income to live on week by week. Things will be quite a bit easier for us, and I get to save quite a bit more money for myself...except perhaps contributing about $200 dollars a month every little bit to still help my family, of course (that's my mom's estimate). But still, once things get going that's only a little bit out of my way.

Now all I need is a driver's license and a car (or a motorcycle, perhaps? :3 ) And things will be perfect. Better if I get my own bank account and my own little place as well. xP I -will- go back to school too and get closer to a career I wish for...go traveling...

...Okay, one thing at a time. But it doesn't hurt to have plans. ^^

Like, perhaps by next year I'll have enough to go to AC, and meet a few of the people I hang out with on the DMFA forums. When my brother went, he said it was the most fun he ever had. I'm certainly convinced to try and make it a trip. xP

For now it's all just scheming. Heaven knows if it'll even come around, knowing my luck. I may remind everyone that I'm still open for commissions, maybe make it a little drive kinda thing.

But yeah, for the moment I don't feel like the world is after me. I don't feel like everywhere I step I'm just tripping over my own feet and not going anywhere.

And I still must again thank everyone who's been with me and listened to my ranting throughout these times, with good words to give, and whose helped me keep my sanity.

Also, in other news, we got a pretty darn good shopping card from Yahoo recently, and so we've been asked to think about our Christmas presents. I must admit I can never really think of anything...well, okay, not technically true. Although I do know what I want, I always feel like such a freakin' greedy-head if I ask. XD

But I did get word that perhaps my computer might get upgraded with a better graphics card. If so, I may finally be able to play Oblivion, or try the demo to Tomb Raider: Underworld, or some other high-end game, without lag. xP

Shhh. It's a secret from me. x3

Anyway, I guess that's all I have to say for now...nothing to think of to rant about, but if I do think of something, I'll edit this thing. xP

Until next time, all!
