Hellooooo :)

My first Blip. I've had one before, but went through a really rough time at work so I sorta stopped. Immature, I know, but I kinda shut the outside world out. I've only really considered again because of how into it my Mum is. She's fantastic at it so go and see hers - www.blipfoto.com/sam12345

But keep seeing mine! I'll be just as good, I promise :)

Let me go through a few things
1) The photo is a representation of the most organised and tidy part of my room. I've only recently moved into a new place. And when I say recently, I unfortunately mean two and a half weeks ago. This only got sorted out yesterday and before then it was covered in information from March.....2010. Oooops :) I do plan on sorting out the rest of my room, but I have gone through a pretty shitty time recently. More on that later.

2) A little introduction. My name's Alix, I'm 19 years old (20 in June) and I'm a lost cause. I'm one of those people who doesn't know what they want to do in their life, but is very set in their way and won't let anyone else help me. I'm massively competitive, a stubborn bitch, but a keen listener. Oh, and unemployed. Which brings me onto my next point...

3) Unemployment. Something I've never had to deal with. I went straight from school into a job and a college, then another job and then my last job, which I'd been at for two years...until I decided enough was enough. I needed a new challenge. I was too comfortable there. I stupidly didn't look for another job whilst I was there (there were time constraints, working long hours and never 100% sure when my days off were) so now I've been plunged into the wonderful world of unemployment. Things to pay for and no means of paying them. I have a final interview for a job on Friday and it sounds good. It's funny - I prayed to not be at work and then when I am off work, I'm looking forward to getting back into the swing of things. There's only so many things you can compete in with yourself and 'How many hours can I stay awake for?' is one I'd quite like to stop playing now. I do worry that this job will fall through on Friday and then I'm back to square one and screwed again. Hmmm dilemma.

4) Which brings me to my final point. Why I started BlipFoto again. the main reason? Because I've seen the support you've all given my Mum and I could do with a piece of that. The other is because I enjoyed it before and I keep talking about needing to blog again with all the stuff that's on my mind so two birds with one stone...

I hope you don't mind the long winding posts. They shouldn't be as long as this normally and I hope you keep entertained.

I'm going to end in the same way as I used to end my old school blogs. With a lyric that I feel sums me up
