Re: What are you currently doing?

by The Melancholy Spirit Thu Oct 15, 2009 12:29 am

I don’t really find it that odd actually; I think it just plays into your need to have a more spontaneous life rather than a stagnant one. I’ve often debated a lot of careers, but nothing that I could ever settle on. And most would require too much schooling that I just, as previously said, couldn’t handle. Archeologist or historian would be really good, since I love history so much. A couple people actually said I’d make a good teacher if I didn’t dislike people (and hate kids) so much. Doubt I’ll ever actually find a career to be honest.

Hell why stick to one career. I mean in my life I've done a bit of construction, waiter, cashier, gamestop employee, semi pro gamer, contact sound designer and I'm thinking of going back to school to maybe go for being a teacher or lawyer in the next 2 years. I don't see why people think they need to find a single career. Granted you get a higher salary over a bit of time but I guess I've never really been one with a great need for money in my life.

P.S Almost forgot painter, and I mean homes painter not artist. It was a lot of fun actually.

by The Melancholy Spirit Thu Oct 15, 2009 3:11 am

Well, those are technically just jobs Squalleh, not careers. Most people generally have an array of jobs throughout their life, but only one actual career. A few can have a couple, such as crossing acting with musician or something along those lines.

Currently getting ready to get some rest... don't really want to but I need it.

Playing this game. PETA be afraid, be very very afraid.

I'm trying to finish my super-long post in Sephiris. By the way, what is the character limit in a single post? I have a feeling I'm going way over....

I don't know the specific character limit, but it's approximately 2,500 words. I don't know if that helps any or not, but it's better than nothing I suppose.

by Guest Thu Oct 15, 2009 3:31 am

Yeah, it helps. I guess I will have to make it two posts then...

I'm about three quarters of the way through the post. Writing up the after-reaction scene once I finish with the fight, which is practically done.

by **Hello Danger** Thu Oct 15, 2009 3:35 am

Had to take a 5 hour energy to finish this post I'm still working on! Fuck sleep!

Way to go! Talk about having your priorities straight! I'm almost done with mine. The final, heart-wrenching scene is all that's left. Not really heart-wrenching...but it is sad and interesting at the same time Smile

by **Hello Danger** Thu Oct 15, 2009 3:55 am

:: shrugs ::

If I have something better to do... Why sleep?

by Guest Thu Oct 15, 2009 4:01 am

I feel the same way. But I tend to force myself to have something better to do until about 2 in the morning. I hate going to sleep as soon as I get home from work.

by **Hello Danger** Thu Oct 15, 2009 4:03 am

I couldn't agree more! That's the worse feeling ever. You get home and go right to bed- only to wake up and be right back at work. Its like you never left! FML!

by Guest Thu Oct 15, 2009 4:22 am

That's the way I felt last summer when I was working full time. It felt like I spent more time at work than at home. I hated it.

I've nearly finished with my post. Just a little bit more and I can finally stop...

Edit: Nah, I'm done.

Editit: 4,615 words...definitely a record for me in a single RP post. I tried to read it trhough and filter out all of the errors and fix it up, but I'm sure I missed a lot. Oh well, I'm sure Kalon will point all of them out Very Happy

That was a lot of fun, though I don't think I will attempt such a long post for Sephiris again any time soon.

by **Kathryn Lacey** Thu Oct 15, 2009 10:51 am

Did you have to make two posts for it?

I'm checking my email. I read through Danger's post, and I also discovered that I won a new book from GoodReads. My stomach feels crampy and bloated... Maybe it's from the frozen yogurt I ate yesterday? Dairy has a way of coming back to haunt me. =\

by **Sunwolf007** Thu Oct 15, 2009 11:19 am

I am currently regretting not putting my impulsive side in it's place and also the fact that I posted that fact on the random fact thread. Oh well to late now.

Nope, it all fit in one post. I think forumotion recently changed that, because I know it wouldn't have let me around the time Sephiris started. I had another long one that I had to split into two.

I'm currently trying to decide what I'm going to do with my day, besides going to class. I really need to finish my Halloween story.

by Shades Of Gray Thu Oct 15, 2009 1:31 pm

I've just returned from class... with the rest of the day free. I'm debatting what I should do with it. I've an assortment of chores, lots of homework... and pictures. The pictures are probably the biggest thing. *Sigh* Guess I should go load my camera and take a drive!

by **Gadreille** Fri Oct 16, 2009 2:28 pm

Currently trying to write an annotated bibliography for my research proposal regarding family involvement influencing quality of care in the institutionalized elder care context...

It's so easy it's hard! LOL

by The Melancholy Spirit Fri Oct 16, 2009 3:21 pm

Currently listening to Vanden Plas while debating putting up an interest check for a sort of dark/gothic fantasy, neo-steampunk, alternate reality/dimension story… yeah…

by Inerio Fri Oct 16, 2009 3:30 pm

Oh, that sounds cool. I can't wait to see the interest check.

I'm currently getting ready to wash a mountain of dishes so I can get around to going out to store in the next town over that sells instruments. I'm probably going to be a camera freak and snap a million photos while I'm at it.

by **Kathryn Lacey** Sat Oct 17, 2009 12:52 am

I just got home from a good day. I think I'm going to try to find that thread that concerns what happened in our days to tell everyone about it in great detail. ^^_^^

Now I'm just checking all my stuff.

Melancholy, in which interest check are you going to place your idea if you decide to post it?

by The Melancholy Spirit Sat Oct 17, 2009 2:03 am

Currently I am replying to Kathryn saying that I really don't know yet... and I am also asking her why, and which one she would prefer.

Very Happy

Typing my ghost story!

by Guest Mon Oct 19, 2009 2:47 am

I'm about to read the first three posts in the Final Fantasy role-play I just joined, and then try to post my own introduction. I wish I could work on my Halloween story and get it done with, but it is on the other computer which is quite inaccessible at the moment.

by **Sunwolf007** Mon Oct 19, 2009 9:01 am

Wondering what to do with my day. I don't have class yet I do have to work at 1. Its so weird not having class. I should work on my research paper. But since it's nearing the end of the month I think I will work on my ghost story instead.

by **Gadreille** Mon Oct 19, 2009 9:43 pm

I'm trying to write my Death by Theory paper and am horribly distracted. Check out this print screen to see why...

by **Kathryn Lacey** Tue Oct 20, 2009 1:41 am

Melancholy, there's no guarantee that I'll even join it if you post it. I'm already in four role plays, and I'm considering a fifth though that isn't certain. I usually limit myself to five role plays... just in case I start getting busier. I was just curious to see what your idea would be. Personally, if I was going to join it, I would want it to be in the casual section because then there would be less personal stress on me to post right away. However, because it's only a fifty-fifty chance that I'll join ((possibly even a forty-sixty chance)), it would be entirely up to you.

I am currently frustrated that I'm not getting email notifications all the time any more, and some of the notifications I'm receiving are like... two days old! ^;_;^

I'm also reading things around the FoG. I'm infinitely relieved that I've finished and posted my Ghost Story for the contest. That alleviates some stress from me despite the fact that I'm not really in the contest to win. It was just to prove to myself that I could present a half-way decent short story. The word limit was my true challenge. There are so many more things I wanted to add, but I couldn't because I was like... right up against the limit.

I spent my entire day making icons of Katara waterbending from all three seasons because I'm considering joining a journal style role play based in the Avatar Universe one hundred fifty years after the series. Because my PB looks relatively close to Katara, it was permitted that I use her waterbending for icons as long as it wasn't just close-ups of her face and such.

I think I'm becoming re-obsessed with Avatar... I mean... I've been hooked since I first started watching it when I was sixteen or seventeen, but I'm already in two Avatar role plays on this site, and now I'm considering a third. Ugh...

Maybe the novelty of this knew Avatar role play will wear off before I finish creating the character... :: sighs ::

by The Melancholy Spirit Tue Oct 20, 2009 3:19 am

It is going to take some time for me to get things all situated for it. I've debated drawing up a map of the world, for one. Also need to get a good, solid plot. I've already got things in my head they just need to be finalized. Plus there is all the detail to fashion (depending on the region, social class, and so forth)... so many details for it. I could send you a pm with a summary of things, if you wish.

by **Kathryn Lacey** Tue Oct 20, 2009 3:40 am

For something that detailed, I'm almost certain it would be best placed in the Advanced section. I would love a summary. ^^_^^

To keep on topic: I am currently waiting for my insomnia pill to kick in.

by Shades Of Gray Tue Oct 20, 2009 2:37 pm

I'm debating what to have for lunch; before heading to the dark-room. I've a feeling I'm going to be there for a while, I took two rolls of film over the weekend and must get them developed! Then, see which are winners... and then pick the winners and make them into 8x11's, and then frame them... and I just now realized I need to go buy frames. *Sigh* This class is expensive... yet so much fun!!
