it's been nearly two months, and i still don't have a job. granted, quitting was my best decision, but without a license or any place around here actually hiring, i'm screwed for money. if i can hold off until february (to get my license and a car) before my parents tweak and kick me out, i think i'll be okay. i've been looking at some stuff at Gearbox's website and they have this COGS program where you can sign up to be trained to work at their company. best part? doesn't cost a dime (from what i can see). problem being you have to have transport and your own housing, which i don't think would be too big a problem so long as they don't mind employees sleeping in their cars in the parking lot.

as for christmas; maybe 3-4 of the items on my list were followed: being a drawing desk, and a couple movies and cds. i don't believe i've ever recieved anything i've asked for unless i've repeatedly complained about it. anyways, to break in the nice new desk, and the long awaited usage of charcoal:

I love charcoal.

Now to get working on that portfolio.
