| < - - Oooo - - > Uh huh, okay - so forgetting my Xanga password and having to go through retrieval might just give you an idea of how neglected this place has become! It's been well over a year, and so much has changed and so much has stayed the same. I keep meaning to revamp this place, it all seems so childish and naieve now, but having accidently deleted my Photoshop CS4, I lack the basic motivation! Well, I'll put my life updates down so I don't have to wait another year and write an even bigger list:p - I have two jobs now. I stepped down from store supervisor to part timer again; and am now working happy 12-hour night shifts at a care home at the other side of town. This is advantageous in several ways: first, I am now firmly convinced of wanting to die young, second - it's all a means to an end. Having decided with the help of my long term (love putting that, 3 years this year!) partner that I did in fact, always want to pursue a career in medicine, I am applying for several courses in the hopes of clearing onto the course with the grounds of substantial employment in a caring role. Happy days. The money is also rolling in quite well as well, which means S. Majere gets very shiny hair and a very happy bf :p - As I've mentioned, 3 years this year for me and my gorgeous. Completely smitten! We're doing something special for our joint birthdays this year, a fancy restaurant followed by a night in a hotel getting down to some serious fu-, holding each other sweetly. - Dear Nanna passed away before Christmas, still very painful to think about and she's missed terribly. - 2:1 achieved in my degree in English and Journalism, I am now a Bachelor of Arts. Woopdedoo. - Tonsils removed last year due to constant debilitating rounds of tonsilitis. Morphine is a lot of whacky fun. - Tried to learn how to drive but gave up due to mean old driving instructor making me cry like an actress when I missed a turnoff. Don't laugh, I felt bad at the time! Besides, £22 a lesson?!! I'd rather stick to my bike... - Supertoned thighs may now possibly be able to crack whole walnuts between them. I'm sure I'll think of a really obvious life-changing happenstance as soon as I click "Save Changes" on this, but for now - tally ho! S. Majere x | | |

Once again, I leave it months before updating, although I have been getting the bug to type and design all over again. A dear friend of mine has asked me to help design a logo and website for a charity gig he's organising later in the year, which has really refreshed my knowledge of CS4.
I can sum things up so far, more to my own benefit really:
- University is officially finished, bar my deferred dissertation. I had an interview RE a supervisory position at another store on Wednesday, but I'm more interested in the training placement than spending the rest of my life in retail. Starting wages for trainee police cadets are absolutely fab, so I'm looking into applying for the force and of course, some way in which to continue my graphics design. I cannot believe it has been three years already!
- I had my tonsils removed last month after enduring six months of recurrent tonsilitis. Boyfriend sent me biggest most expensive bouquet of flowers I have ever seen, much squee. However, my weight has plumeted and I'm busy eating lots of pasta and tunafish to start plumping myself out a bit more!
- Sadly enough, I'm still WoW-ing...but with friends now! :D We've gone horde-side for some extra bad-ass-ness-ness.
At the moment, it's pretty much a limbo of completing my outstanding dissertation by August, finding a job and getting my blood elf priest to the elusive level 80.

Hell-o! Although it's rare, I do still drop by here and have a quick lurk around Xanga...must admit I'm sad to see that a lot of my old-time buddies on here have done a me and not updated in many months. So-o, thought I'd post a brief entry and wish everyone a very happy new year.
Life-wise, it's...amazing. Between you and me, I have a gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous boyfriend who I've been seeing for over a year now, I'm still going to the pub during lectures wherever possible (!) , World of Warcraft STILL occupies my waking moments (when I'm not seeing my hotbutt) , my job is STILL as fun as it was five years ago and I'm still here! ...in many ways a lot has stayed the same...and in others, a lot has changed.
I think a year can completely change a person. I'm in love, yes. Again? Maybe. Reading back through my entries about Ian I get quite...wistful...but in a smiling, older-and-wiser-now sort of way. First loves are always that way perhaps. I'm twaddling on about love only because I found someone, after resigning myself to crazy cat-ladydom. I do feel rather like breaking into some butt-clenchingly romantic poetry right about now, but I'll spare you!
There's a lot I'd love to type about, Xanga. Personal, private, intimite things about the past year - but after taking a look at the 700 subscribers still attached to my site, I might reserve the risque-stuff for a protected post!
Design-wise, I have nothing to give you. I have been Photoshopping - a course at uni is in Digital Publishing, and I've been hand making cards and working on a Valentine's Day project...other than that, I've had no time or inclination to spend a few evenings sat designing and coding. I hope to get back into it, though. I do enjoy it...although looking back on my designs now I do cringe somewhat! Still...it's a learning process and perhaps I shall show off my skills in the next year:)
You all take care of yourselves, best and most loving wishes!
S. Majere (known fondly on the WOW servers as "Janey"!)

| < - - Not Dead - Yet! - - > Holy Hannah, three MONTHS since I last updated? Dear me, I am a naughty girl. I'm writing this quickly, a big hi to everyone that still frequents Xanga(!) - whilst my Wrath of the Lich King expansion pack is downloading in the background. That's right, I've spent the last few months in Azeroth so poor Photoshop has had nary a look in, though I am desperate to revamp this place and start blogging nonsensicals again. Anyway, back to my Vivaldi. Dedumdedededumde! S. Majere x | | |

Wahay! A layout at long last! It took me a long, long time to get into the mood to design something again, but once into it I really enjoyed it. I spent the better part of 12 versions of f a n t a s y messing around with filters and lighting effects. Very pleased with the result. Xanga only for now, Myspace on its way.
