Troper Updates II, Part II

Go To

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.

[up][lol]

[up][up]Try talking to the person you're falling in love with and see if you get any weird feelings?

[up][up] That sounds like an idea =P

[up] Thing is, we talk a lot. He's even so much as said he has a crush on me, too. And calls me pet names. And buys me things. And wants me to come visit him this summer if things go well.

And he does give me funny feelings.

But every last relationship I've been in has ended up a freaking train wreck (or just petered out, but that was a one-off thing,) so I'm kind of nervous? Because I don't want to go through that again.

I mean, if things crash and burn this time I might just go Full Hermit and never associate with people again... (slight exaggeration there... but not much.)

Life is short. A lot of people never get a chance at love. Better to have loved and lost than to keep reciting platitudes.

Coyote: I say be open to the idea of a relationship. Look at this way, you know what went wrong last time, you can keep an eye out for bad signs now. If they appear, you can work them out together or you can decide it isn't worth it and end the relationship without hurting too much.

[up]Yeah, like... waaaaait a second.

My sister's USB, filled with REALLY important work suddenly became corrupted for no reason and I'm trying to recover the files.

I only fell in love three times in my entire life. Sadly, all of them ended in unrequited love, and since then I felt too discouraged to try again. I don't feel like wanting to spend time with a girl only to feel emotipnal pain of that caliber for a fourth time. Much less now given how deteriorated the relationship between the sexes is anyways.

On a different note, my mother's long-trusted doctor died today, and the burger shop that opened last Friday is just not receiving even its first customer. This sunday has been so depressing that it almost makes me cry (and sundays already suck de facto, IMO).

So it turns out my sister's really important work was on her other USB. So while the USB I recovered still had stuff she wanted back, I spent most of the day searching for work that wasn't there.

We're both laughing our asses off.

It really depends on how important it is - I've got some vinyl recordings I keep backed-up on several media just so they don't get lost, but most regular C Ds and work templates I don't need to much care about.

It was school work and projects she needed the most. Everything else was stuff our main computer already had.

I woke up this morning to heavy rainfall. I love rain.

While on the way to work, one of the cars splashed so much water on my windshield that I couldn't see anything at all. I had to slow down. Fortunately it wasn't heavy traffic, but holy crap. Literally couldn't see a thing past all that water for a few seconds.

I have saved most of my work to the cloud. By most, I mean all. The plus side of this is that I have everything locally stored on two P Cs (my laptop and our family desktop), and stored on the web in case those two disappear. The downside is that cloud doesn't have 100% uptime (but then, anything can fail). But I'm pretty certain Microsoft won't disappear in the next few years, so it's all okay.

I once had Google Drive randomly delete folders and files. Or make them invisible when using a web browser, but not a phone.

They need to fix that. It's so stupid. I'd be very afraid of storing things only on the cloud.

So, I'm trying to come up with a space horror tabletop campaign for some friends of mine around Halloween (gotta plan that shit in advance!)

Problem is, I'm twisted and fucked up enough that I don't have a good barometer for what's scary. Some of the stuff that frightens people or creeps them out makes me go "Aww, it's adorable!" or "Whoa, that's awesome". So in an attempt to make things come up to my level of scary, I worry it'll be irredeemably traumatic for my players.

...that might be worth a laugh, though.

Beta testers, or whatever they're called. As you're building the game, show it to other people and see how they react.

This "faculty lot" you speak of sounds like a place of great power...

Tempted to apply for this Library's Assistant's job, but I just got hired a few weeks ago as a shelver, and it's mostly in the evening and I'd rather work in the morning, and it's in the kids' section and I'd rather work with the big people books.

I'd be making $42.39 more a week, but...ehhhhhh...

Okay so, I need to scrape up $700-1,000 by mid-July.

It's going to cost about $300 for round-trip train tickets, and the rest would be for spending while I was there (food, transportation, etc.)

And if things don't work out and I don't end up making the trip, well... that's two or three month's worth of rent and bills right there, so I don't lose out on that front either way...
