It's been a while, eh?

I'm writing this because I've been thinking of making a new main account for myself lately. I'd never delete this one, as I'm so nostalgic for it. I want to hide as much as my content as possible though.

I need your help. Is there a way to put journals into storage like normal deviations? Can I hide my favourites?

I've matured since I started this account. I was 14 going on 15 when I first made an account here, now I'm 22. It's amazing how much time has passed.

I'd now like to treat this as a time capsule. Purely for personal reasons. I hope you all can respect this decision of mine.

Take care. Love you all.

I'm writing this journal just in case, for the college I'm applying to.

My name is Kaell Steers. My student number is 100900163.

I'm taking precautionary measures, because this is the only platform I'm able to retrieve artwork from. All my other work is at home, and I don't have a scanner anyways.

I first joined deviantART to Marth fan-art. I've now existed here for 6 years. I'm just writing this, because I like collecting badges.

It's official. I no longer live in Wainfleet anymore. It's sad that I can never return home anymore. And I know people will tell me that Cambridge is my new home, but it's not. Wainfleet will always be my home. Where I'm living now feels temporary. Hell, even my sister's apartment feels more like a home-away-from-home to me, and that's technically more temporary than my current place.

Moving away was just an emotional landslide. I haven't cried like this in years.

It doesn't almost feel real either. I sometimes think to myself I can return anytime I want to. Just as an example, when my mom and her fiance were planning on going to this trials competition this past weekend, I instantly thought: "I'll just go home and take Charcoal with me". Then shortly after having thought that, I realized that notion wasn't possible. It's a weird feeling.

The only "good" thing about the people we sold our house to, is that they're people we know. Across the street from where we lived was Gary McPherson. It's his grand-daughter, along with her husband who bought our house and property.

Anyways, that all I have to say about losing my home for now.

**********

So, in less than two months I'll be going to college. For now, my tuition for the first semester has been taken care of (semi-temporarily). It's now time to find a place to live. And ya, omg, I've been slacking in that department (Kaell, you lazy piece of shit. Stop writing dA journals, and go apartment hunting)

**********

So ya, I was fired .__.
My job only lasted about a month. There was things that I guess weren't agreeable with getting ready in the morning, among other smaller things. What's ridiculous is that even after they fired me, they expected me to get up even earlier than when I had to get up to start my day before working. I'm complying...mostly. I have to bend to their rules though, because it's not my house, and I don't wanna get kicked out (cuz I'm an adult now, hurr-durr).

Oh, just to add one more thing, I am getting occasional work here-and-there for pay though. But I haven't done much, so I don't really consider that actually having a job (plus I DID have a formal "firing" anyways).

**********

Atlus filed for bankruptcy. Although they claimed they would be fine. And they actually just registered the domain for Persona 5. So it's not all doom and gloom for them. I haven't played too many of their games. I own Code of Princess (which is a great Arcade-esque fighter), and I just recently bought Shin Megami Tensei IV (I got the tasty limited edition bundle). I hope they can get over this financial hurdle.

Ciao for now

P.S. I'm sorry for not getting back to people on here. As you can see I've been very busy. D:

Hi, all! I just wanted to give you an update on my life and happenings. So, I have a job now. I'm working for my mom's fiance. I just basically do whatever he needs me to do. And so far it has been cleaning out his barn. Omg it has been disgusting. Basically his son was partying there with his friends for like 2 years straight, when he was in college a few years ago. They totally trashed the basement. One room was almost a foot of beer bottles, and when it was cleared out, omg the smell. THE SMELL. I don't know WHAT they did in that room, but good gawd it smelled nasty. There was definitely a positive side to this though (other than making delicious money), I discovered plenty of treasures in the rest of the basement (and don't worry, I was given permission before taking them for my own). Some of the stuff included an SNES console/games, records, electric guitar, PC software, microphones, speakers, etc. I'm just rambling about this now, but it feels good to be working for money (unlike my co-op last year). It'll definitely help with college in the fall.

**********

I have really unfortunate news. We're going to be losing our home. My mom just can't afford it anymore. It's complicated. It really sucks. I'm not sure when we'll have to leave, but it might be as soon as June (hopefully after my birthday).

**********

This next story I haven't brought up yet, since I decided to just let it go for a while. One of my friends last year had a meltdown during college. As it turns out he was diagnosed with a form of psychosis (I was previously told it was schizophrenia, but that's not the case I guess). He had some brain tissue damaged, and he's on medication now. He kind of blocked me out of his life for about 4 months there, only recently he added me back on facebook, and I hung out with him about a week ago. It was really nice to see him again. I can't blame him for what he did, since he wasn't on his medication, etc. I'm still worried about him though, he's taken up smoking.

**********

One of the few facebook games I play is getting shut down soon. It's called Pet Society. I've invested a lot of time playing it. I'm pretty angry.

**********

Just a more personal topic. A while back I went on my first date ever (I think it was August). And that was when I realized I wanted to be single for now. It's been pretty great for a bit, but now I've been feeling lonely. I started to wonder if I should try looking for a boyfriend again, but then it hit me. Single =/= lonely. You CAN be single and be totally content with your bachelor lifestyle by having companionship in friends, etc. I shouldn't get a boyfriend just to fill that void of loneliness. But my friends haven't been as available as they used to be. So, I guess I just gotta cope for a while until I get a chance to meet new people in college, broaden my horizons, etc. Obviously I'm not going to stay single forever, but I just genuinely want to be right now.
