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.

DAY 10 OF THE BLACKOUT SEASON
First, the good news, because this isn't something that happens too often. I have just met a troper in a site other than TV Tropes!
It may or may not be normal or common for some of you, but it's the first time it happens to me.
NSB Longcoat: Not just the PC, though hopefully it will be ready in the next few days, but also the Wii U. I haven't played any video games since one month ago for this reason.
Lights poofed at 4 pm while my brother and I were watching today's Champions League match, sooooooooo we moved Sonic fast into my cousin's house to keep watching the game. After it finished (and our team made it into the Final, yay!!), he went to his BFF's house while I stayed watching TV. Around that time, my maws started hurting a lot, and I feared it would be a case of mumps. It's not, luckily, it appears to be something about the muscles or the osseous front of the maw, though it still hurts. I've applied Vaporub onto it, hopefully it'll alleviate soon.
135 -> 180 -> 273 -> 191 -> 188 -> 230 -> 300 -> 311Trying to prepare more non-microwaved meals - I feel weirdly accomplished that I was able to boil myself some macaroni for dinner tonight.
Gonna try to get the band back together, maybe to play a show in August - Oddly, this ambition was spurred on by casually bringing the band up to a customer, who found a youtube clip
and was impressed because I'm such a quiet person when not performing.

Naah naah naah. What you want is to go back in time, to when this was the place to be and you'd see, like, 500 posts in an hour. Those were the days.
Good gosh I have a job interview for Sylvan Learning center!
I hope I nail it. I need another summer job besides freaking Seaworld. I think it'd boost my self-esteem tenfold, and I'd be working in my field I studied in college.
"The three rules of the librarians of time and space: silence; books must be returned on time; no interfering with the nature of causality."Everybody be gettin new jobs.
I meanwhile am tweaking my resume because though I've liked the library, it pays me too little and works me too slow.
I didn't take four years of advanced high school math for this. :/
You gotta believe me when I scare you away, all that I wish for is that you would stayTo tell the truth, I don't want a job anymore. I want a career.
Come on! Let's bless them all until we get fershnickered!DAY 11 OF THE BLACKOUT SEASON
Lights poofed from 12 to 4 pm. My brother and I were talking about the World Cup history to keep ourselves entertained in the meantime. When lights came back, I browsed a little on the web and then had the daily walk. After returning, I kept browsing and..... that's all I did.

Hey, me too. :)
Come on! Let's bless them all until we get fershnickered!I keep thinking, "hey, summer's here, I'm going to have more time for fun and projects soon", and then I remember I don't get summer vacations anymore. I might still be recovering financially from taking over a week off for Christmas last year.
Fresh-eyed movie blogWhere would you all like to go on vacation? It can be anywhere in the world. :) Except North Korea.
I have a goodreads account finally: https://www.goodreads.com/kendriaperry
. Check it out!
As for a vacation...Japan FTW. Probably Kyoto.

Congrats. I hear that having a job makes you a better person in the eyes of the world or something.
You know, I really wish we could reboot this thread. All the other threads are so much more popular than it now and it used to be like the place to post.
