Here I am again

robotech_masterWell, here I am again. I realize I haven't posted very much over the last couple of weeks. I haven't really been feeling all that great, emotionally. I've been kind of depressed, and a bit guilty, and sitting down to write about it feels too much like looking in a mirror and bringing it all back to the front again. And to be honest, there hasn't been too much that's newsworthy. I've been sitting at home, doodling on my computer, and occasionally going out to apply for jobs. Probably not as much as I should have. It's just so hard to get started these days…I usually end up staying up late and sleeping 'tl noon.
I got the word a couple weeks ago, the position my brother was trying to get me into in Chicago had closed. Well, just today he told me that the position was open again, so I sent my resume to the woman in charge of doing the hiring again. Oddly enough, I also got a message on my voice mail yesterday that the local GameStop, where I applied a couple of weeks ago, was interviewing potential hires and wanted to speak to me tomorrow. So I'm down here at the parents' to get my hair cut, because as happens in times of emotional stress and boredom when I let it get long, I start pulling it out. I'm also here to pick up a check to pay my rent and utilities for another month. I hate putting the load onto my parents; by the time this is over I think I'm going to owe them as much as my student loans, and I know they really don't have that much money to give me. I hope I can get some kind of a position where I have money coming in soon.
One reason for that is that I've rediscovered The Sims. I finally got around to reinstalling it with all the supplements I got. As many of them as there are, it becomes quite a complicated undertaking, involving 5 CDs—not unlike installing an operating system. Heck, most operating systems these days require far fewer discs than that. And annoyingly, just as I did that, I discovered that a new supplement, The Sims Unleashed, was about to be released. And I don't have the money to get it.
The Sims is such an insanely addictive game, it should be outlawed as a controlled substance. And yet I want more of it! I'm even hoping that after I get a job, and a better computer, maybe I can join in The Sims Online. It's one of the only MMORPGs that really looks like it might appeal to me.
There's another Livejournal meetup tonight. I intended to attend it, but that was before I had to come down here to the folks'. I feel kind of bad that I won't be able to make it, after I'd said I was going to and everything, but these things just keep coming up. This is the second one in a row I've had to miss—the last one was when my brother wanted to run a roleplaying game last month.
Well, that's about all from here. Maybe I'll make another journal entry tonight or tomorrow.
