Government Checks / Boredom
Wow, those people handing out the unemployment checks are fast buggers. In the two days it's been since I signed up, I've already received a packet in the mail detailing my earnings. I'm still irked about the whole thing but I'm too broke to say no at this point. Anyone who can coast for one whole year on savings they built up from working nine months at one job while paying $300/month back on student loans is alright with me. But the financial momentum is gone and I've slowly slid to a near-complete stop.
I've been running around LJ adding myself to a bunch of communities in the hopes that I can find some people with some common interests. I feel like I'm not quite using the community aspect of my LiveJournal account to its full potential. I joined this novel writing community that'll gear up this October. That'll be interesting if I participate. I'd be in charge of my own 50,000 word (Equals 175 pages) novel that I'd have one month to write. No prizes or anything, but it'd be a good outlet for some ideas of mine. Maybe I'll write a fantasy novel about strange mythical creatures who are challenged with some form of ... ohh, I don't know, maybe they're in line at McDonalds and can't decide between the Big Mac combo or a salad. SUSPENSE!! But seriously, it'll be original and intriguing and have FANTASTIC character names, I promise. I seem to be real good at making up fantasy-esque names. Like... Hold on, lemmy make one up... Foush'ca (Pronounced ph-oww-shh-saw). Huh, sounds French! "Yes, I'll take a venti-mocha-foush'ca-frap with caramel and cream."
Ugh, I'm BORED. What else is going on... Ohh! iturtle, one of the last people I still talk to from high school, has been accepted to OSU and will be moving down there in the coming weeks before starting classes the 25th. With him gone, it'll make things around here that much more boring. He went out the other day and bought Guitar Hero which we've discovered is one seriously addictive game. It's like DDR for your hands.
