Topic: How YOU doin'?

With all the crazyness that's happened in recent weeks, it seems like external forces are coinciding in such a way so that we get blindsided by one member's personal troubles. I'm not sure what it is, but with people having troubles all of a sudden, it makes me feel out of touch with ya'll.

So, in the spirit of improving our sense of community, I present the "How YOU doin'?" thread! All you have to do is tell us what's been going with you, how things are, and anything interesting/surprising that has happened to you recently. Good or bad, it doesn't matter. We just wanna know how you are!

Oh yeah, no flaming other people please. But you knew that already, din't ya?

So, widdout further ado...how YOU doin'?

I'm still looking for a job, and running out of money fast. If I don't find a way to pay a rather large phone bill by the 10th, you won't be seeing me around for a bit.

...Aside from THAT little bit of stress, I've actually been in a good mood.

My grades were all C-s to B+s. Sigh.

I don't do anything outside of school...

I honestly can't think of anything else to post. I don't do anything really.

The course selection at my school sucks. We have nothing even REMOTELY close to what I'm interested in. This wouldn't bother me if I went to a public school, but this school costs $13,500ish a year to attend... Visual Basic and C++ have absolutely NO appeal whatsoever. Bastards. I'd take most anything that involved Photoshop...

I don't know... I don't do anything besides go to class and talk to my best friend.

*shrug*

Edit: I do write a bit. Forgot to say that. Oops.

- I've started my 2nd semester exactly the same way I did my first - as life of the party extraordinaire.
- Hell I'm enjoying myself but I'm well set for straight failures in my courses again.

- I'm also in one of those bland, empty periods where nothing seems to interest me, not even living.

- I completed my Offspring CD collection with Smash.

- My parents are beginning to put some pressure on me for my still unpaid computer and total lack of a job to pay it back... Unfortunately working is one of the things that interest me less as stated from the above.

- I can't draw for shit lately, and my coloring is still as lame.

- In short, I feel empty. I'd want to go to sleep for a few months without anything on my mind.

Oh yeah.

- I've been feeling particularly uninspired lately. I have this yearning to make something in photoshop/draw/write and yet when I sit down to do so... Nothing comes to mind. It feels like there is some wall in my brain preventing the majority of my synapses from firing off.

Sigh.

I feel really hopeless. Looking at the horizon today, I have no job, no prospects, and no future.

But you know what? Fuck that. The only way to live my life is to change my luck my own damn self. Jackson, Tennessee, I'm gettin' a paycheck if I have to break down every door in this two-bit burg.

The current mood is: Rarin' to go.

That's right baby. I'm gonna kick some ass and take some names, and my address book is already full.

Leck him saying that he feels bad about something may just be his way of saying "I'm sorry." Do you really need to hear those exact words or can you let a guy, even if it is your dad, be a guy and fudge it a little?

Front Mission 3. Boo yah.

4.0 GPA.

I slipped to fourth, dang it.

I feel like an aura of apathy surrounds my posts, causing it to get brushed aside.

Grammar is your enemy! - While being able to understand someone's sentences might seem like a good idea for a proper essay, complaining on a forum scarcely leaves time for such trivialities. Write fast! You're angry, grrr! Make that show, and forget about things like capital letters, punctuation, and verbs.

Ok, maybe this does sound bad at first, but my dad has never said sorry for anything. My mother had to put up with so much verbal abuse from him, and in the 22 years they were married He never once tried to change the way he was. He's like this with me because i'm not under the control my mother was for a while, nor will i ever be. I don't have a very healthy relationship with my father unfortunately. Now he's trying to tell everyone i know through him, (my archery club, some of my friends parents, work associates, etc) that the reason for this little "to - do" which i don't particularly want to discuss, was my fault, which I swear isn't true and i will never back down from that like he wants me to.

I'm sorry for having to explain this, didn't want this thread to fuck up because of me.

Well, as of late I've been a little of an insomniac and last night is the only night in a while that I've gotten all the sleep that I wanted (8pm-7am) I'm happy because my masters are around a little more now and I guess things are getting a little more better in RL.

Last week I was very sick with some kind of sinus infection/head cold mess so I was given this nasty medicine which made me gag

But today is a good day because I got 11 hours of sleep last night, I just helped out a friend by getting a girl's phone number for him, I'm aware that I have lots of friends on this board who I care about and who, if marginally care about me. This is the best that I have felt in a while

I can't go back to work for another week, thankfully tax season is rolling in. Rent is painful, but my rent guy is being very nice.

I'm enjoying Dark Age a lot. My guild is very good to me, and we are a force on my server. My friends also pay for me to play, hehe.

So-so: My boyfriend and I broke up. He was a monkey (no real imagination or wonder about the world). It was amiable, but I think he's hurting.

So-so: My on and off girlfriend reserved 4 hours of her trip to New York to see me and ah... hang out together on Sat, and I was in the city when she showed up. On the good side, I got to play 2 AD&D games there.

- My players like my AD&D campaign. They always want more.

Woot! - I'm moving in the next few months, my time of living with 7 people is drawing to an end. 4 people is better.

- The weather is getting warmer, I'll be in less pain soon.

- I'm completely alone from when I wake up, which is around 7am, until about 6pm every day until Feb 14th. Even then I'm still pretty much alone.

- I've been really depressed and lonely recently. Might have something to do with the no-one-here thing.

- Saw Dogma twice yesterday.

- Can't find a new job. Money's getting tight.

- I.. uh.. Had a nice ham sandwich for lunch?

- Feel like I'm falling out of touch with friends. Real life and online alike.

- Accidently killed my chances with the girl of my dreams.


So.. yeah. I'm having a fun month.
