Big oof
So... Yeah, I'm kinda back, after what... *checks calender* foUR YEARS?! Yikes.
Yeah, I know. I moved to a new account for a bit for uh, train stuff. But it didn't work out, I guess. Cut off all of my friends from there because they either were only interested when they weren't chatting to someone better or they just downright took advantage of me. So that was fun. I was an idiot and did some questionable stuff too I guess, but I'm not going into that.
So... Four years and a lot has changed in my life:
- I have a career! In the railway! Which is probably why I lost interest in trains as a hobby.
- I went to university. For a month. Then dropped out. A Levels were hard on my mental health and university just wasn't for me at the time. But it worked out okay (see above).
- I'm... Still living at home, and I really really really really want to move out (especially now that my brother has moved back in he's so goddamn annoying asjfjakld). I plan to move out when apprenticeship wages don't suck.
- I adopted two cats! And now I'm a full fledged animal lover. I've got a senior tuxedo cat called Serena, and a one year old tabby called Tiff.
- Rushed into a relationship, soon recognised a lot of red flags so that person was quickly dumped. Won't be doing that again.
That's about it, to be honest. I'm finally starting to settle into the new job after lots of theory work and moving around so I thought it would be a good time to get back into some hobbies. But I'm on permanent nights which sucks, and I work Mon-Thurs and most Saturdays which gives me no time to socialise. Hint: don't get a job on the railway.
Now, I expect some of you may be thinking that because I'm on my LBT account again, there'll be more LBT stuff again.
No LBT. Sorry. I'm using this because it's the only remaining account open on this hell site.
What I am planning on doing is more photography at some point, and maybe some stuff related to the Mario and Zelda series (more fandom hopping xD) . Yes, my Switch is my only friend I see on a regular basis. I'm trying to get back into drawing but I suck, so. We'll see. I might write some more shitty fanfiction... Maybe. Expect cat photos.
Honestly I don't know if I'll stick with it and actually upload something again (I'm bad at commitment) , but I'll be hanging around here again if you want to say hi. If you do and I'm not around, you can probably catch me on my Twitter: https://twitter.com/nintentea
Soo... Results day tomorrow.
Anyway, it'll probably turn out fine and all, but that doesn't mean I'm looking forward to it any more.
And also, sorry about the delay with the pen-pal thing. I'll start writing letters next week now that I've got sufficient stationary, but I'm away on an adventure trip over the weekend and straight after that I'm going to my grandparents' house again. So... yeah. I'm as unreliable as ever.
Taking up pen-palling!
Basically, I'm looking for more penpals (I've got a few already, but the more the better, and I only speak to one on a regular basis these days). I'm signing up to LetterSets and see if anybody responds to my ad once I post it (the admins need to verify my account which I made about five minutes ago). I'm worried people will think I'm too boring since I don't really have very many similar interests to everybody else I know... although that is kinda the reason I'm doing this in the first place.
I want to learn more about people in different countries and their culture and the like. I also really need something to do with my life right now because I've finished school until September, was unable to get a summer job, and all I can think about is how everybody in my family is arguing with each other and a lot of my friends are doing stuff without me because they think I'm a kill-joy. I need a break and someone to talk to. I don't care what you're interested in, anything is good for me.
I really hope I can find someone who adheres more to my interests, even if that seems difficult (then again, this IS the internet), or even just someone who will listen to what I have to say. I used to speak to quite a few people on the internet before and I lost touch with nearly all of them, though that was really my own fault (y'know, that thing I was getting pretty upset about a few journals ago). This was also a time when I was on really good terms with my school mates and most other people in my life. Now, it just kinda feels like everything's falling apart and I'm getting more lonely. Don't get me wrong, I can cope with being alone (I am am a bit of a lone wolf, after all), but it's nice to have somebody to talk to, and somebody who doesn't know your whole life story.
Eh, anyway, I'm rambling again now. I'll see how the website goes. I'll try and respond to people who I think I'd get along with and put my own ad on there and see if anyone gets back to me. Wish me luck! Oh, and if you ever want to chat here, too, I'm around pretty much everyday so feel free to drop a note or something. Honestly, it gives me something to do and hearing from people really does make me feel better and motivates me to do even more with my life (being bored and having nobody but your mother to talk to can be really demotivating sometimes).
Also, I really need to get that camera. Photography is something I can do that will help me relieve some boredom. I'd love to not have to pay nearly £300, but my phone can only do so much and the replacement I got for my old camera is awful. My five-year-old compact digital takes better photos than that, and, as I said, I'll want to use the new one.
RIP Satoru Iwata
Well, thank you for many good memories in my childhood that happened thanks to your work at Nintendo, Mr Iwata. Rest in peace.
Going away for a couple of days
So, tomorrow I'm off to Geneva for a couple of days on a school trip. After that, I never have to see anyone from my school until September. I'm going to CERN because I'm such a physics geek.
Anyway, I don't know if there's WiFi at the hostel I'm staying at, but if there isn't, I'll see you guys on Wednesday!
