I mostly lived the same kind of false life for the last few years. I finally pulled myself out of it this summer, and am now back in law school and a much better person for using the time to focus on personal development rather than raiding. I hope things work out for you as well as they have for me so far. There's a lot to be done outside of the game.
Thanks. I have not in fact quit yonder game as of yet, but I'm definitely going to have to cut back, at the very least temporarily. I've poured so much time into that game that it's kind of hard to just quit at this point, but I'm starting to get there. For now I think I'll keep it around to poke at in spare time, but I'm not going to be able to afford to feed it half my life much longer here.
Cool on setting plans and deadlines. I know you can rock, and am sure it will turn out well. Also, randomly, i think it's cool about the cracker factory, simply because in the far future you can remember "that time I made crackers," and everyone will think it's some kind of metaphor.
Hah, it's true! Although sadly I didn't so much make crackers as turn crackers 90 degrees. But then it's a factory assembly line, so it's hard to point a finger at the actual cracker maker, aye?
Incidentally it was not as bad as I feared, but did pretty much take me out of the people-able-to-walk-proper pool for a few days.
I am rooting for you. Life is hard, more so now than it has seemed to be for a long time now. I believe in you. And I keep every good and helpful thought I got going in your direction. You can do it. You rock.
i can commiserate with the lack of sleep. i'm currently teetering on the verge of making sense.
i just wanted to join in with the general rooting-for-james sentiment. the real world can suck and be harsh. heck, even with a degree that you think would be useful (okay geology isn't quite as useful as chemistry as i'm now learning), jobs are thin and far between. hang in there. the real world isn't as bad as it seems--there are some dece people out there, just hard to find. hopefully next time i'm in the cities it will be for longer than ~16 hrs and we can hang out a bit more.
Yes, most definitely should make with the hang outs. I kick myself for not just excusing myself from my online commitment last time.
Yes, I was definitely ill-advised in my choice of major, I'm finding. I don't regret it so much as wish everyone else recognized how cool my major is and how much money they should pay me to do it. Come on, guys! ...This sentiment may change with time and desperation.
And thanks. Rawr smashing has not been in my repertoire for a few years now, but I'm trying to get back in the habit.
