So, life isn't falling into place like I want it to. I want to get back into music and finish my degree, but I need money for that and with no chance of scholarship help because the musical world hates the saxophone, that dream is looking more and more like a fading childhood desire.
Working at EB/GameStop seems to be the only thing that will cause my life to go in any forward direction, no matter how mediocre the motion is. See, all of the managers in the area seem to be constantly screwing up and getting themselves into trouble. Chad over on the island got himself written up again, and Marc over in Viera got transfered to a different store for "Reasons" and during his first day in the new store, Matt (His District Manager) wrote him up for a poor looking store. However my DM, Chris, loves me to death and thinks I do a killer job. Same goes for my Regional Manager, Jon. Chris has been telling me how he'd love to get me into my own store someday, and the visit from our Regional a few weeks ago cemented that, since he talked to Chris and told him that he thinks I'm going to go places and that I'm awesome.
The dilemma with this seemingly wonderful news, you ask?
Well, I want more in my life than just a monkey job at a video game store. Sure, I love the perks and the pay isn't terrible. However, I'd love to do something with music or, if I ever somehow got a break, take my voice-acting somewhere. The problem right now is that, because of Hunter coming soon, we need all the money we can get and Monica is still finding it hard to get Florida employers to hire her because her previous employers no longer have businesses to operate for various reasons. This means that I have to support the family as best I can, meaning I really NEED to be a manager of my own store because of the obvious pay increase.
Today was my last day of vacation and tomorrow I head back to work. It's not going to be fun this holiday season, but I have to survive it for all of the people in my life that are counting on me.

On a completely unrelated note, I just got cast in a production of the new anime of one of my favourite older anime/mangas; Bio Booster Armour: Guyver. I'll be playing the role of the woman pleasing Agito Makashima, also know in his other form as Guyver III. It'll be alot of fun and I look forward to the new role.
Also, I'm going to be playing a part in my friend Mitch's movie for school coming up in a few weeks. In it, I play a Mephistopholes character in an interpretation of the classic "Faust" tale. It'll be alot of fun to do, I'm sure. We went through a reading today with Mitch's friend Jeff who's playing the Faust character. It helped me get out of the sour mood I was in, so I felt better about apologising to Monica when I talked ot her for being moody. Of course, the reason I was moody earlier was because of the above nonsense, but anywho...

I'm sure you'll be able to achieve your goals once life settles out a bit.
I promise you, as long as you work at it, you'll go where you want to.
Sacrifices may need to be made right now, but as long as you take the opportunity when it arises (may it be near or far future), you'll find yourself on the path to where you wanna go.
You're my favourite moogle. Good luck. %D
YAY! Baby.
