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.

Back in San Jose after visiting the girlfriend, who ironically is from Silicon Valley area, while I'm from the area she's going to school in. Life is weird life that.
I'd rather the world betray me, but I won't betray the world.
@SmartGirl: That was Heptads rule fourty-something, from the larger collection of tracts that is Senchas Már. I'm reading the Ancient Laws of Ireland, which is a collection of Brehon laws from before the Norman invasion in 1169 (printed in 1901).
Also that rule is meant for people who abscond with bees, that is to say bee-thieves, but the wording made it sound like it was meant for the bees so I wanted to share it. 
Just had my interview.
I think it went really well. They gave me a test on something I had never seen before but I was able to decipher it with another sheet they gave me.
My writing was just a little bad...
If I DO get the job, I'll be getting up at 7 in the morning every weekday for as long as I have it...
But I'll be getting full time pay, county employee benefits, and a real shot at my own home.
I am gonna get there...

Oh joy, I found a sample Arduino program that fits my purpose.
And that purpose is a FUCK OFF HUGE PLASMA CANNON.
It's gonna sound like a Spartan Laser, mostly because I just happen to have some stuff ripped from a Halo 4 soundboard. And the program has a very cool "wind-up" bit that matches the Spartan Laser's firing sound.

"Just as planned."
So I got invited to Seoul... to dance.
Say, does this sound familiar?
"Did you expect somebody else?"
Why were you invited to the capital of South Korea to dance??
"Just as planned."
Because I managed to explain what Gangnam Style was about to another westerner, and the Korean listening in liked how I explained it.

"Did you expect somebody else?"
Oh, so they were like "Why not come here and dance it?" as like a cute little joke?
"Just as planned."
More "Come over here because I can prove somebody gets there's more to Gangnam than that song." - although it helps that I've been over there a few times and know what it's like.
"Did you expect somebody else?"

Grrr, Gangnam Style.
I'd rather listen to R.A.E.D, and he's terrible.

On the one hand, I'll have to go to bed earlier at night and I'll be at the library one hour longer every weekday...
But on the other hand. I'll get more money, more benefits, and another step toward independence, because I GOT THE JOB.
LAVISH ME WITH PRAISE.

Having a good time!
Had a doctors appointment today. Got buffet lunch. Bought some nice cool weather clothes at a steal (thank you, clearances!). Accompanied mother to get her hearing aid fine-tuned. Parents are now off to dinner with Mom's employer. Siblings are preparing dinner for us.
All in all, good day.

Tomorrow, I go back to school to start my last year of highschool.
As such, I'm back to sleeping and waking up on schedule.
I just got a friend request on facebook. Its from a girl who has the same first name as me, and her last name is spelled the way most people misspell my last name. She even lives in the same city, and judging by her cover photo, is a cosplayer and love live fan.
I've been approached by my mirror world counterpart.
I was once invited to join a Facebook group made by a guy who apparently searched out and invited everyone on the site who shared my name.

There's a kid I think in Florida who has my name on Facebook. I think he's my cousin.
Doesn't know me though.
I've never heard of anyone who shares the same name as me.
Which is odd, because neither of my names are that uncommon.
what do you mean I didn't win, I ate more wet t-shirts than anyone else
I think I'm more surprised by this girls interests being similar to mine, and having her name be spelled the way people misspell mine. Plus being in the same city. Just a bunch of weird similarities piled on top of each other.
Is she like you but with reversed colors, like if somebody was playing Street Fighter and selected you, but with a different button?
Reading about the writing of the Senchas Már in the fifth century. It's so epic, I had to get a Celtic music album to listen to. XD

My brother has a facebook friend who's just some guy in American with exactly the same name.
BTW, maybe you should check her page and make sure she doesn't wear a black version of your favourite outfit and dark makeup, Smokey.

Also, poets were the judges of pre-Christian Ireland, and judgements were sung or spoken in verse.

If I ever get to play Shadowrun, I'm making a character with a vocal modulator cyber implant, which allows one to speak at volumes of up to 100 decibels without strain. So I'm gonna have my guy always have it cranked up, ala Samuel L Jackson.
It'd harm espionage runs, as yelling "MOTHERFUCKA!" at people at volumes that can cause hearing loss through sustained exposure is a bit conspicuous, lol. It'll be fun as hell.
