It was fun, though I ended up getting my car towed later on.
Didn't meet anyone new sadly, but I was with people anyways, so that was cool.
Also you should have stayed at the dance. It was all nerds and from what I've seen you have more natural charisma than many.
And goddamn this discussion is so weird but I'd feel really bad telling her to go away.
You know me so well.
Anyway.
So, I just had a talk with my grandmother earlier. She's moving out in a bit over a year, going to live in Perth, on the opposite side of the country. This leaves me and my brother in a... difficult situation, as we don't actually have anywhere else to go.
It looks like we might have to both try and get ourselves decent-paying, full-time jobs which should probably be permanent, so that we have some money and can actually afford to pay for rent and stuff. Otherwise, this time next year, I might be homeless.
bluh
^^ As I recall, I haven't posted any videos of myself; just images and voice separately. In any case, I don't consider myself charismatic, especially since my voice is awful. I just think I look pretty well if I'm not smiling and my hair is sufficiently long.
Here's what my thought process basically was at the dance:
-oh, hey, my roommate's actually a pretty good dancer
-oh, look, breakdancing
-holy shit, these people are great
-whoa, that girl almost got kicked in the face (almost made the rave worth it for me. Almost)
-now should I dance
-wait, I feel like what I would do looks stupider than what others do who aren't just bouncing back and forth
-oooor I could join the jumping throng and just thrust my fist into the air as is what tends to happen with nerds at dances
-tried that a few times, couldn't get into it
-the music's repetitive
-still can't get into a groove
-maybe I'll join the jumping throng again
-fuck that, I'm out
^ Damn. Is there any reason why you and your brother can't go with her? I would assume she has a good reason for going, but it would be kind of lousy for her to ditch you like that.
^^Hmm...what are you good at?
Apparently, life has been treating her like shit, and our habit of rarely talking to anyone, including her, makes her feel lonely. So she's going to live in Perth and make a new life for herself.
Acting cheery even when I feel like murdering everybody.
So, retail.
Oh, also, books. Reading them/talking about them.
So I'd do great in a bookstore.
If only there was more than one in town.
But episode three is where it gets good! :O
Unfortunately, it becomes bad like one episode later, but hey, what are you gonna do, right?
Or so I say. I think I should rewatch Madoka and see if I like it more now that there's less hype about it. By all means, I really should have liked it after all, since it's a show about sad lolis and apparently that is enough to get me to like a series.
Your roommate is wrong. Yui is the best waifu.
Has she already finalized arrangements to go to Perth? You could try breaking out of your habit and going places with her where you can talk about what you just did/saw.
But I liked episode 4. Also, my roommate apparently saw Mami's death coming, which kinda ruined it for him.
On the plus side, my roommate and I can both agree that OreImo is hilarious (though he's far more tolerant of Kirino than I am). On the other hand, I'm 18, but he's not, so I couldn't bring him to see the screening of B Gata H Kei. He might have liked that one, too.
She has.
basically, i'm fucked
Jesus. Is it too late to tell your grandmother to stop being selfish and cancel those arrangements? Could they even be canceled at this point?
Sorry if I'm not helping, but I really don't enjoy the thought of someone I've been good friends with for over a year ending up homeless.
They can't really be cancelled, no. And it would be selfish of me in turn. No matter what happens, someone's being selfish.
I guess I just need to start job hunting, and forget about finding a job that I enjoy so long as it promises to pay the bills. Or hope that a job in a library opens up sometime soon.
Even just an income of $40,000 a year would be sufficient, really. I can deal with not having a high income, as long as it would cover us.
The worst part about this is how it's hit me when I'm already so far down. I mean, just two days ago I found myself curled up on the floor of my shower with the water hot enough to scald me because I felt that bad about myself, and now this.
gah
I think the least you could do in regards to your grandmother is try to make her feel less lonely in the following year.
As for jobs, apparently you can just go up and ask, because they might be willing to make a space for you if you impress them enough.
I've always felt that if I have one flaw, it's my inability to notice my flaws.
Depends on what job. For entry-level retail, yeah. Not for like, librarians.
Okay, my grandmother did just tell me that when she moves out, we can keep... all the stuff that's around the house. Which is actually a lot, easily prolly ten grand worth of stuff. A fully outfitted house, so... I guess she's not quite leaving us in the cold. Just... mostly.
For my graduation exam, I have to write a 30-page essay on inqusition. Well, here we go. This is going to be difficult.
^^ If you can get a job that supports you, having a house is a huge advantage in this market. Many people of our generation will never own their own house. It's a responsibility, and getting a stable job might be tough, but this could actually set you up somewhat. If you ask me, this is the time to get your complete driver's license (if you don't have it already) and go hard in job searching.
If you get those things in the bag? Job, car, house. And you're good to go, with a stable platform for the future.
We won't own the house. We would rent it. $300 a month.
We'll probably have to find a third roommate.
$300 a month is still an excellent rate. Your current situation isn't good for someone so young, but you could still make good of it.
Today I dreamed that Adult Swim Spain bought and dubbed Chargeman Ken and I was disappointed as fuck when I woke up
Especially if we get a third roommate.
This is the best thing ever.
Downloading League of Legends because why the hell not.
What kind of photos are these, and why would people buy them for $35 apiece?
My parents are both left-leaning, which across the pond would probably brand them commies or something, not to help daddy is a section director at a gubbermint competition regulator. Anyhow, went to a metal concert yesterday, stuff was pretty sweet although it had the tamest wall o' death I've ever been in.
I've seen your photography and I'm pretty sure you could charge at least 40 bucks.
Also, you're selling the photos and the frames or just the photos?
What does IJBM think about spanking?
