Thanks to my dad's wonderful efforts, the electricity in our home won't be shut off (however, due to using part of the money for next month's rent in making a payment in a deal we worked out with the electric company, I'm sure we'll be in hot water again soon...ugh).

Doesn't change the fact that my job situation is still in a dark abyss, and so far my job hunting has been extremely fruitless and making me even more depressed. I swear, it seriously looks like all local employers are discriminatory against fast-food workers! (even though folks always claim that experience in such jobs are a sure win-win way to get better ones... Pfft...what a joke.)

In other news, GasuKan's 2nd anniversary gathering is coming up, and I hope it'll be awesome. Going to do an unique and crazy costume for it - my own 'shinigami' version of the White Rabbit from Alice in Wonderland (a.k.a. a creepy dark envisioning of that character). Already got most of it worked out from amid the things I already own (only needed to buy the ears, some white gloves, and creepy fangs for this; not bad), and all I've got left to do is find one of my dad's pocketwatches to have fun with (he already gave me permission to tinker with it for the sake of helping my costume to be cool...LOL). And if getting ready for this wasn't crazy enough, AkiCon is in just a few weeks! I'm quite looking forward to that, since I get the joy of being an assistant for the crossplay panel (entitled "Tuck Everlasting"... *snort* gosh that name cracks me up).
