Thank you for visiting my spot on ZEROfacade, a community built around just that. No mask. I'll post whatever is on my mind here and I'll try not to sugar coat it, as I normally do. More private blog posts can be found on MySpace, where I can regulate the viewership.

Brenda, Jacob and their friend helped me move back into my parent's apartment. That very same day Jacob shaved my head, because it was getting a bit too long, and I wanted it to be short for job interviews and the like. It should be perfectly long by Winter, that is, if I can contain myself from pulling it out. I've had "symptoms" of this thing called Trychotillamania. So, sometimes my hair gets a little too thin, and I get embarrased and so I shave it to start over. But I don't want to get too much into that right now.
Todd went to bat for me by telling his boss about my experience in a call center, and now I get to fill out and return an application to his workplace on Monday. Its the perfect time because they need people and the ad won't go into the paper until later in the week, I think. If I play my cards right, I shouldn't have trouble landing the job.
I learned that Mom has a new Flatscreen TV and has HD Digital Cable and Digital Phone, and once I get a job, hopefully I can get my own internet connection instead of leeching off the neighbours. I'm enjoying a bit of G4 and BBC America. I like Gordon Ramsay's F Word and Kitchen Nightmares. I'm also getting into Torchwood and BBC America is FINALLY playing Doctor Who Series 4. BBC America doesn't have that much of a selection when it comes to shows. There are about 8 shows that broadcast throughout the week. I'm looking forward to another 3 hours of Doctor Who and one hour of Torchwood this Weekend.

As I sit here at the computer awaiting the end of my freedom, I can't help but wonder what I could have done differently to prevent this. In hindsight, I could have spent my money more wisely. I probably could have bought less coffee. I didn't really need a Netflix or a XBOX Live account. I probably shouldn't have worried so much about vlogging. And most importantly, I shouldn't have checked my YouTube account at the establishment of my employment. That was a big no-no. That's what lost me my job.
I am such an idiot. I should have heeded the warnings and realized that in this economy, one cannot afford to lose thier job. Now I am forced to move back into my parent's apartment. They're disappointed in me, and by the sounds of it they don't even want me around. When they talk to the neighbours, they sound so ashamed to mention that I'm staying there until I get back on my feet. My own parents are ashamed of me.
I've searched for jobs, and a memorable day comes to mind when I was scouring the Elm Street strip for employment. I would ask for an application, and I'd get either "I'm sorry, we had to let some peole go ourselves.." or "You're the fourth person this morning coming in asking for a job." as a response. I had to give my cell phone back to Todd because I couldn't pay it any longer, and had to leave my Mother's and Shrek's phone number as the message contact.
So, I'm waiting for my sister Brenda and her boyfriend Jacob to show up. They're going to help me take my stuff to Mom's house. Huh. "Mom's house". A term I still have get used to. This place isn't home anymore, and neither is the aforementioned apartment. I'll be sleeping on the couch. It's not a sofa. Sofas are comfortable. This couch is broken in several places, and after a night's sleep, I wake up crouching because my back feels that is broken in several places as well.
They say home is where one hangs their hat. My hats will be stored in the back room with the rest of my belongings. *laughs*
