shade184I need to start properly looking for work again. They still haven't reopened the jobseeking place since the floods, but I should still be looking online and all that. I wouldn't mind an office job, to be honest. It doesn't need to be exciting, it just needs to pay the bills.
I think my video game phase is starting to die down. I haven't played anything on my 360 for a while, and this is good. Means I have less distractions. Also it means I can focus on other things, like jobs. In theory, at least... most of the time I'm just bumming around.
I've decided that once I've got work down, I want to get a gym membership and start doing training sessions a few times a week. God knows I need the exercise. I was thinking about buying weights and stuff, but I realised that if I'm paying for membership, that means that I'll be more motivated to actually go out and get my money's worth, rather than getting something that I'll probably just leave lying around the house anyway. That also applies to walking - I can go for walks, but I think forking out a little for a year's membership will be worth it if I'm more motivated. We'll see what happens. Once I'm fit enough, I might take up Zen Do Kai again. Zeni lessons were some of the most fun I've ever had, and I think I would benefit from them greatly.
I've thought about gettig a pet once I move out.. Not so much for the sake of the company, as for the discipline. I'm talking about goldfish or something here, not a cat or guinea pig. I'm terrible when it comes to remembering things, so either I'll have to force myself into a routine, or I'll come home one day to dead goldfish and a guilty conscience (which, as you may know, is not something I am very good at dealing with). I would love a ferret or two, but they're illegal to keep in QLD, and on top of that my life would have to allow time for me to look after them properly.
And don't even get me started on wanting to take up a musical intrument.
As you can probably tell, I've been doing a whole lotta pondering on what I want to do in the future. And know it won't be as easy as I'm imagining it, which is saying something. But I really want a life of my own. Now I just have to get off my arse and make one for myself. Great. -_-
Welp, let's get this party started.
