The Happiness Thread

Got into college this year. With a scholarship that pays full tuition

 

CHEATING!!

 

I had a story which I had struggled to write a decent draft of for ages, but yesterday I finally managed to finish a draft of the first chapter to my satisfaction. Since I've struggled to actually write anything without giving up soon after, it's satisfying to finally be happy with my own work again.

 

I'm going to start calling fajitas that from now on. I'm dying!

 

The other day I finally figured out how the heck to get the MC from one room into another room without it sounding tedious.

 

Just got my first internship as the Economic Development Intern for my city! Very excited to start!

 

Congrats!

 

The retention and recruitment of businesses in the local community. Essentially I'll be keeping in touch with all of the business heads and making sure everything's running smoothly for them.

 

That sounds like a position that needs to exist in my city.

 

My bf's former colleagues are so chill. We had a games day the other day and no one minded that I dozed off rather than play the Battlestar Galactica board game with them. Slept through half the five hour game but let me tell you I needed that after all the overtime and lack of rest I've had.

 

I have a job interview today!

 

I got the job!!!!

 

I am still a total lunatic somewhere/somehow, and a smaller part of me still feels very good about this.

The larger part that doesn't agree with the latter state of mind is now growing, and that is what I am a bit reluctantly happy about these days.

Comes a time when the distractions of a youthful spirit need to quell, and there is a certain peace in and through that. Realizing that futile desires are in control due to a slow descent into a less turbulent state of body and soul is reassuring indeed.

Sartre's quote that being human is a useless passion is not quite as upsetting as it was when I lived in a cockroach infested pad on Amesbury street and debated furiously into the night with whomever had the guts to drop in on me during those late nights.

Damn, - life's to teach you.

Hugs,

Alex

 

I GOT THE JOB OFFER

I'M GOING TO BE A CASE REVIEW COORDINATOR AT A CHINESE LAW FIRM

☆*:.｡. o(≧▽≦)o .｡.:*☆

 

Omedeto!

 

Congrats @NoGoodNobu !

I finally saw my niece today. Little snot was 6 months when I last saw her, she's 15 now. Time really does fly, ha.

 

My lap is much too small for two kittens.

And whose bright idea was it to have kittens at work? All they do is be adorable and ask for love and I have so much to do.

But oh are they just darling~

 

I don't mean to be obtrusive but have you not seen your sibling in fifteen years? I think sadly I'm going down the same path

 

That'll keep him out of trouble for a few minutes, eh?

 

I'm waiting to see if the seller on eBay is going to accept my offer. I'm really hoping he does so that I can own one of my grail pieces for investment. New Mutants #87 the first appearance of Cable, and it is signed by Bob Wiacek, Rob Liefeld (creator of Deadpool), Todd McFarlane... and STAN LEE! All the signatures are also authenticated and the comic is graded.

Wish me luck... the anticipation waiting for the seller's response is killing me

 

So, after two months of working on this, we've finally finished our first real Abridged video on youtube.

It's enormously flawed, but I learned so much in the process.

Mostly that I don't work well with others

 

KITTENS FOR EVERYBODY*!!!!

(*Everybody who wants them)
