Hello my lil' humide hot dogs of joy!

So... it's been awhile. Quite awhile So I hope y'all have been enjoying yourselves, eating your vitamins, etc., etc. So, let's begin my bizarre rant

Year of Creati-w00t-met: Self-Assess-m00t

I should've done it last month, but meh As some of you may remember I issued the DP New Year Challenge near the beginning of the year: to get more in touch with your creative side. So now's the time to check in and show me some progress! No cheating, no "the Nintendog ate my l33+ pic" hoopla. Seriously, have you guys been unleashing your inner Picasso? Bringing out your Beethoven? I've been keeping up with me Correspondance School Art course and I'm almost done, too (by almost, I mean I only have 2 units left. YAYS!). I've also bought 2 books on animation and even invested in a personal light box to use for animation purposes. I haven't used it yet (I'll explain why in a minute), but it's nice to set down the fondation for my future plans. Anyhoo, if you haven't created something yet... get crackin'!

Ch-ch-ch-change is GRAND!

Ah, change... the pieces of copper that jingles in your pocket... the event that represents some sort of transition in your life. Both are nice things to have. And I gots them. w00t!

So, I resigned my contract with RD (gonna be my 3rd year with them). All is well, too: I'm officially full-time and I got a raise. Workin' hard for the money! (do-do-do-dooooo). Right now, I'm workin' summer hours: I have to stay an extra 45 minutes Monday to Thursday, and on Friday I get to go home at noon! Feels like the days back at university when I only had one course in the morning on Friday and that'll be it. It's nice to get to go home early

Speaking of going home early, in a couple of weeks I'll be getting home even earlier than I do now. That's because... I'm moving out! Yes, this lil' bird is finally leavin' the nest and moving into my first apartment! Probably would've done so sooner, but I've never had asteady job'till this one, and thus haven't been able to save up enough money. It'sin a great place too; quite happy with the location indeed, as I'll be much closer to work (I'll be able to... *gasp* walk to work! HUGE change from taking the bus and metro). I started packing since I'm leaving the 1st of August. It's kinda weird seeing my life packed away in boxes like that But I'm quite excited and can't wait for the big day. Any moving tips you lovely peeps can give me (especially how to properly pack away my consoles) are greatly welcomed.

I need to plan my day tomorrow, so it's time to say adieu.

This is DP signing off. And remember: find a penny, pick it up. All day long pennies will rain on your head like Thor's Hammer!

Toodles!
