How was your day?

Went to a barbecue which pretty much marked the end of my summer. I start work tomorrow, coding Haskell for a startup. I'm so anxious.

i don't know how eos and rick and ray put up with me back when i first joined
i honestly would have just perma'd me and been done with it
ofc i guess that's why they're mods and i'm not...

Ayeeeeee let's talk about when I first joined SP. 8)

OT: Trying to cut my hair tonight and electricity won't let me.

Man y'all made me realize how long it's been since this place first started. Waaaaaaaay too much has changed since then.

This thread has spanned hundreds of pages, thousands of replies, and years of activity. It was created by an amazing and sexy man who is obviously destined for greatness.

It's me.

I made the thread.

I finally feel like I can do this. Got a place set up for the next year, work is going fine, relationship seems good. I think I can do this.

Yeah, this thread's okay, I guess. Not the best, but it's fine.

I beat maplestory so I quit (for realsies)

Hate my job, way too much physical labor for a little boy like me to handle 8+ hours a day nearly every day.
No one cares about dishwashers because it's the dirty job, servers/bussers are all a bunch of lazy fucking assholes that make my job 10x harder.
Don't have to work here much longer though. Some days have gotten so bad I've considered quitting. They can't hold on to any new hires and it's pretty easy to see why after working here.
At least I made some nice money this summer.

I was gonna say "at least it's not customer service" but then I realized you do that on top of all of that $$$$$$ though

OT: I got Bravely Default on Saturday, my life has been consumed by it since, 10/10 would recommend if you somehow haven't picked it up. I also finally bought a Razer Mech Keyboard, and I already understand the hype around it

tl;dr rpg grind and clickclickclickclick

Wait until you try a corsair keyboard. Honestly the black widow series back in 11/12 was the best they ever did...now they cut some shitty corners like alienware with plastic chassis :|

I'm so disappointed. I took the CHSPE (a Californian legal equivalent of a HS diploma) last June for the first time in an attempt to get out of High School because I've been having some trouble with it lately.

I got the results back today and completely pineappleing tanked on the Math portion.



Why must Math be so hard for me? I do fine in all other subjects except for Math. I was really hoping that I would pass this so I can get out of high school and go straight to a community college because my high school future is not bright at all (especially with the things that happened this past year).

The next test is in October. I really hope I pass it because I am not looking forward to being at HS at all for my Senior year. I know I'm not going to graduate, I'm behind on my credits and pineappleed over my entire Junior year. Doing credit recovery programs is not a good option for me.
It was already really hard to convince my parents to let me do this since they're your stereotypical Asian parents that only look at the path that everyone else is taking (took me about half a year of relentless begging and asking and research to get them to let me do this and they've finally accepted when it was absolutely clear that I would have been pineappleed over if I didn't at least attempt this. I would have preferred for them to let me do the March test first so I would know if I passed it or not).

 Junior Year Grades

CI stands for Citizenship, btw.

All this is not at all helping me with my depression issues and stress problems either. I'm growing gray hair, who grows gray hair when they're only 17?

Most of the decision to buy the Black Widow was due to the fact that it was in stock at the local retailer, and there were no Corsairs (at all) D: I'm super impatient, so I hate having things shipped.

The Black Widow does what I need it to do, and it's still a major upgrade over my last keyboard, so I'm pretty satisfied with it right now. I'll look more into Corsair in the future though

So I'm currently in the midst of planning a "glamping" trip with some friends to Lake Perris for this weekend. The weather looks perfect. More importantly, there's a girl there that I'm chasing. We actually went to Disneyland last weekend for a date and it went perfectly despite the rain!

I feel kind of dumb trying to start another LDR (San Diego to LA not actually that far...) after the last one crashed and burned so badly, but I really do like this girl and we've been texting almost daily for the last 2 weeks or so. She's pretty, intelligent, and just plain fun to be around. She even gets my flirty wordplay which is surprisingly difficult for many women lol. Unlike my last ex, she's got her life really well put together and is starting optometry school in the fall which actually puts her slightly farther away but with less traffic.

I know I really shouldn't let past problems hold me back, but I can't help but know that the distance really contributed to my last break up. It took me about a year to really get over her and I don't want to go through that again. It's not a fair comparison since this is a completely different girl, but the doubt is definitely there.

Still I can't help but smile when I talk to or even text her. I'm going to follow through and see where things go. It's dumb and damnably inconvenient but I really can't help myself.

Things are also shaping up pretty well with the new job. I'm not making as much progress as I'd hoped on my 2 projects, but both are more embedded systems related so a lot of it has been picking up new skills that I didn't learn anything about in college. Not really a surprise, but it can lead to some frustrating basic mistakes like mildly electrocuting myself the other day. It also looks like I may be doing some travel for work on the system I did data analysis for when I was an intern. The first trip is only a week and not too far away, but there was talk about going to DC or LV It's going to be all work I'm sure but still very exciting and hopefully means they think I'm up to the task!

Meanwhile my mother's health hasn't been too great lately, but today was a good day. I've really been trying to do more to help out around the house, but there's not a lot I can do to directly help her with the pain and side effects from the medication. It's really tough knowing she's constantly in pain and it's really not going to change as long as she stays on the medication which could be years. I'm starting to doubt if I should move out like I planned at the end of August, especially with my brother and sister going back to school. I really want to get out so I won't have to see her explosions of anger or depression (not to mention resume my adult lifestyle), but I'm not sure my little brother and dad can handle everything by themselves.

-end life story dump-

Wasting my summer away with video games as usual since I cannot find a job for the life of me. Think I'm gonna start reading more books and going to the gym more, just gotta stick with it is the hard part.

What a wimpy history

This past 4 months has been like living a boring book with no character developments. Hopefully the next 2 years in military will change me for the better. only 2 weeks left before my freedom is officially out the window.

Unfortunately I'm not handling myself well right now. My dog is 10 years old and has tumors all over her body, I'm frustrated and analyzing it even when I know it's a useless, stereotypical thing to do. We will know the details, since the vet who looked at the xrays is not a radiologist. My dad/mom went but really, it's tumors on her lungs, and her liver growing 2x that makes me sure this is going to incurable thing. We may have to put her down as early as Monday, assuming her quality of life wouldn't allow her to live for <a year. My mom maybe closest to my dog but I won't let her wither away while breathing in needles.

[COLOR="#0000FF"]Girl I've been recently chatting with has started to ignore me all of a sudden and it's 5 days in.

I'm dying because of this; not because I like her but because she is someone I could really finally confide and talk to all day, someone whom I've been searching for so long.
My mood now : I could just jump out my window and fall 14 stories down, or get banged by a car [/COLOR]

I am in an extremely difficult financial situation and I want to cry

Im going to California on Friday

may die of thirst

It will pass, it's alright, We've all been through such non sense, It's either something related to her personal life or it's related you.
Don't let it affect your life in general, it isn't worth your pain and trouble trust me, I nearly screwed up my life because of that 2 years ago and I regret it.
She'll talk once she'll take, move on for now, letting it infiltrate your mind will affect your judgement and make you think about bad decisions.
It is not worth the effort nor time is one thing I can tell you this for sure, In fact something like that happened to me 4 months ago as well, Just wait it out then have "the feelings" talk I suppose.
Good luck.
