Get a job at a Morgue, tell people I hate "Hey, hope I see you at work"

My sleep schedule is fecked and nothing ever looks as good as it did the night before. I wondered where my patience (recent thing) had gone, and then I realized just where (you know, Jack). Rrrgh ( Read more... )

Good luck. And I think the appeal of SFU is that there's quite a bit to it that's naughty.

Lawl. Oh, Barsuk, that's more of a deterrent for me!

I better see you on the creepy FFA tomorrow. I'm hiding in my room during my room mate's party and feeling like a smug bastard while I apply for a million jobs (and don't get a single one, lol forever alone).

Yeah, it never appealed to me (at all)

I'll try to make it. We've got people over in the afternoon (our monthly SF group meeting) and a friend's birthday party in the evening. Don't know how long we're going to want to stay, so maybe I'll make it before too late.

I hope I see you. And I don't mean to keep missing your Necromomicon challenges. I start in on them and then I get all "Arrgh crumble cry!" Iunno... maybe once I figure out wtf I'm doing...

And studying the dead? How did this not come up sooner!

Glad you're still here, though. I'll do my best to make it to the FFA tomorrow!

=O I considered mortuary school for a while there! Then I found out that the system is completely different in Canada, and I'd be dealing more with cremation than embalming, which had been a major part of the appeal to me. I've still thought about it, here and there. I think I'd really like being able to help people in what could be the most difficult time of their life...

Would you be interested in the Funeral Home thing as well, or just the dead people part?

Honestly, I think it's a great route to go, especially with a school so near by. You'll always be able to find work, for one thing (people never stop dying) and the pay isn't half bad. Apprenticing is a really cool and effective way to learn as well, and you'll have a million badass stories to tell xD

Also, Six Feet Under is amazing. It's one of the few shows I've seen that deals with so-called 'tough' subjects like death and mental illness with something approaching realism =3 Forget Glee, seriously - this season has been shit so far.

Just the dead people part. I like people when they're dead. I'd go for embalming so that I could be playing with needles and dead bodies all day long.

Sounds awesome, and you'd have the added artistic bonus of sewing people's heads up and making them look good as new (so to speak) for the viewing =D

Go for it dude, you've got a good deal here!

Go for it, dude.

Six Feet Under was cool at the beginning but eventually peters out into blah.

Oh weird; for some reason I totally thought you already were in mortuary school. Hmm.

Are you the driving sort? Because if you are, you could probably commute to that school without having to move to the burbs! \o/ (Actually, you could do it on public transit pretty easily too, although it'd be more like a two-hour commute so I'd bring a book or four.)

Naaaaah, I'd want to move. Living in a funeral home would be the best thing ever. Besides, I don't know how to drive at all.

violin_road January 22 2011, 04:40:47 UTC
Oh wait, I missed the part where you'd be LIVING in a FUNERAL HOME. That's pretty much the shit. I'd do that, too.

And hey, I just checked with another friend of mine, and that's where she's going :D
