Well.

I was going to copy over a post I made to another online entity, but the formatting died on me and I can't be assed fiddling with it.

It really is high time I put an update here, though.

Today is my last day in the shithole that has been my job since June, and I cannot tell you how grateful I am. Contrary to all my moaning online, I really have tried to keep a positive attitude to working here, but some things just hurt my brain too much. The fact that, on my last day, a fired employee calls while jacked up on drugs to confirm that he really was fired some months back... that just kind of shows you what I've been dealing with, here.

I've been accepted into the course I wanted at BSU, and I start in January. In two weeks, I'm going back to New Zealand to see my family, meet my Niece and Goddaughter (I have a niece and I'm going to be her Godmother. What.), introduce Boyfriend to the Gauntlet, and sort out my student visa, before returning after Christmas.

I am a third degree brown belt in Kung Fu. I plan to be a black belt by the end of next year.

Life is... surprisingly good. Well, not surprising, really. I guess I'm just amazed at how some things have developed of late. It's not going to be easy - money may be a problem, and there are conditions to my studies that must be met, but I'm confident I'll get through.

I do apologise, though, my darlings. I have really neglected this blog for a while. I have no excuse, save for the complete and utter exhaustion that some of my other pursuits have left me with. We'll see how things develop, though. The writing continues, most certainly. And who knows, maybe one day I'll even find an agent.

All that's for Future!Me, however. Right now, I'm just enjoying the calm before the next bout of crazy. No doubt, it's just around the corner.
