In which we get updates from the lives of tropers. Kinda like Twitter with more than 140 characters, but less than a blog or LJ.
Please refrain from excess venting in this thread. Talking about negative emotions is fine but it's best not to dwell on them for too long. TV Tropes is not suited to deal with mental health situations.

No worries, we'll get you out of the graveyard in that case!
I'm not thrilled about my corpse being desecrated.

How about dessicated?

No, not that either.
Yay, my teeth hurt less this evening! Maybe it's going away again...I'll stay off the soda and sweets this weekend just to be sure.

So I'm taking this virtual tryout for a job that I am half-sincerely thinking of taking.
For 28 questions it's saying "I prefer a job where..." and I have to choose from two answers.
Most of the answers are about being accountable for what I do or having a good work-life balance.
Once again I don't know whether to be honest and undesirable or desirable and a dirty liar.

Guess who just got a shiny new copy of Minecraft???

So I'm finished with Plans A, B, and C! Can't do Plan D because it's not there, so now I'm thinking of a Plan E.
Something easier and not altogether horrible, if not necessarily ideal.
I hope the day will come when I will no longer need back-up plans for my back-up plans for my back-up plans. For once I'd like to have something in mind and just be able to do it without so many unforeseen obstacles.
Somewhat fittingly, I think our professors are trying to kill us with Criminal Law. So much heavy stuff, one topic after another. Separately, everything is somewhat comprehensible, but it's coming so rapidly, it's like we're being suffocated by haybales.

Like finding a Lemur in a haystack!
...I'm sorry, it's late. My punning abilities are low charged. Also sorry about the school stuff.
Other update! I'm caught up on Once Upon a Time. I thought that season 4 was already rolling but I suppose not. Finished just a month before I get to see Elsa. :P Which is really the reason that I just binged the whole series in a short matter of weeks.
...it's so weird being caught up. You find yourself in the strange position of waiting and being in the present again. I never get used to it.

Frustrating, isn't it? Once you're caught up on a show, you actually have to wait for new episodes.
Waiting is the worst thing. Working is a bit easier—you can actually control the pace at which you get to a goal.
But for waiting you just have to live long enough to see it. X|
All human wisdom can be summed up two words: Wait and Hope.

Good day, everyone!
- I finally got caught up on Night Vale today. I laughed a few times. That was good.
- Been dragging my feet with my job application process. I wish something could motivate me more.
- I finished the first draft of my Good Omens fan fiction about two days ago. I'm very proud to have finally finished something!
- It's very close to dinner time, so I'll need to get nom noms.
- The bigger the time gap on your resume becomes, the more explaining you'll have to do at job interviews
- Having money to buy stuff certainly is nice

On the first point though, if you can do something like volunteering or similar activities, it shows you've done something in the mean time - whether to just get used to such an environment, or to be able to develop a schedule and way of working.

I am employed at the moment, but my season ends in November. And I drop down to just weekends starting this week so my hours are cut... even more than half. My paycheck will be barely an allowance. Having the money to buy whatever I need without worrying about being overdraft has been awesome and I suppose I should keep it up.

I keep forgetting to notice...I still don't have my college degree yet. I thought they were going to mail it to me this month.
Now I'm going to have to go through the excruciating process of calling people up and asking where it could be and what I have to do to get it and uuuuugh.
Even if it doesn't seem to matter. I still can't get anyone else to hire me and "Bachelor of English" is apparently just so underwhelming.
Really does make me want to pack up and leave town, even though there's hardly anywhere else I actually want to live.
Oh right, they don't actually hand you your diploma when you cross the stage, usually just a holder for it. My high school had us go to another room after the ceremony to pick them up, my college mailed them out a week or two later. Cleverly, the holder I got at my college graduation had a promo for joining the alumni association in the place the certificate would have been.

Having a good time!
Going to a church dance tonight, decade themed. Couldn't find a tie-dye t-shirt, but sis managed to get a whole flapper ensemble. Either way, I'm going as this decade. Will inform if someone decided to go as 1890's. Unlikely, but it would so make my day.
