It was a corporation. I don't think corporations care about their employees in the slightest. Expect miracles, and all that. They fired my brother a month or two before, so I probably shouldn't have been surprised. My friend works there still, though, and he recommended me. I also kinda needed the work. Forestry/firefighter work would involve a lot of hard work and camping out, so that's why I'm interested in it. And... I finally heard back from the Germany people in February. They were holding interviews in Seattle, half a day's drive north of here. I told my parents, who told me I shouldn't go, because I might miss work or something. I regret now that I actually listened to them, and when those people are stateside again, even if they're in Seattle, I'm driving to Seattle for that interview. (They come a few times a year.) That's a lot of work. What were your papers about? Anything interesting? Were they like essay answers, or something? Essay answers are fun, because you generally get to fit in your opinion on the matter. "This historic guy was a dick." *shrug* Some people have unreasonable schedules, where they go to school for half the day, then work the other half of the day. The guy who got hired on with me was apparently going to school at the same time... which is crazy, because we were working 10 hour days. Wonder how his grades will be. He was a self-proclaimed idiot though, so... heh... Maybe those people were partying, too. Some people go to school to party. Because they're stupid. Oh well. Hope that friend you like sticks around the uni. Tell the other one s/he's a deserter! And... I haven't written in that book for months. I haven't really felt inspired to write for a long time, so I've kinda given up on it for now. There've been a lot of distractions lately-including ideas for other things, though they may never be implemented into anything-and I've kind of actually forgotten about it, until you mentioned it... heh. Oh well. Best of luck at school, lady! Anyhoo... Wuv, Yer Mom (My messages are always so long... sorry. Suppose there's more to cover right now, though.)
Eh? What kind of employer was that? I mean, why didn't he even give you a chance? Did he expect you to know everything on the first day?! O_o" Forest firefighter... I don't know. Doesn't sound interesting to me. But if you're interested, you should try it. ^^ I don't know when I last asked, but... how about the job in Germany? Did you get it? After writing to you for the last time I think I was busy learning. I wrote 7 end-of-term exams in February, so I had lots of work to do. X.x Buuut I must admit... I liked it. ^^ Having a bit stress like that. At least I wasn't bored to death anymore. xD My grades, so far, are quite good, compared to others. ^^" I don't know what they did, but they told me they didn't have any time left, they just learned. I didn't, and got better grades. Don't know how that works, but.. well, I don't care. ^^" And of course I made some friends at university. :3 But sadly the one I liked most doesn't want to go to university any longer T.T So there is one I like and one I don't like that much. xD" But there are more nice people than annoying ones... ^^" But I wouldn't call all of them friends. We haven't met outside university yet... .-. Are you still working on your book? :3
I... ...killed a man... No. I mostly played more video games, read a few books, watched some stuff, and I also got a new job. That didn't last very long, though: They started me out on what I'm told is the most difficult machinery to use. I bumped into something my first day, and then again a few days later, neither time damaging anything (except a bar code sticker the first time.) They had me go back and practice some more with the trainer, then they came back and talked to me about the "severity of the situation" and told me I needed to aggressively improve myself... and then the next day when I came in, they let me go, so they didn't really give me a chance to do that at all. Which was the exact words my trainer used when he heard. "What?! Wow, they didn't really give you a chance..." So now I'm back to doing what I was doing when you last talked to me. Been looking for other stuff on Craig's List, too. Had an interview last week, but they didn't seem interested, because I had no experience in their field. Haven't heard back from anyone else... should I be a forest firefighter person? So what've you been up to? How's school going? You getting good grades, and all that fun stuff? Made some friends with cool people? Eh? Eh? Eh? I don't think I've heard from you since December... Gotta go; someone's coming to pick up some furniture at a friend's house, and she doesn't wanna be alone with strangers, understandably. Anyhoo... Wuv, Yer Mom
Yay, nice to hear from you. <3 Taking a break from a forum is a great idea in most cases. I did that myself, but in another forum. ^^" And I really felt better when I returned then. :3 So what did you do in all that time? And happy Easter to you, too! ^_^
Hi. It's all good. I was taking a break from TFF for Lent (no offense to anyone, but it seems like I had a lot more free time.) I am back now, though. I assume you were as well? My brain is a little tired right now, so not much else to say. Hope all is well with you. Happy Easter! Wuv, Yer Mom
Have I ever answered your last VM? I'm really sorry... I had a lot of stress due to university stuff... (Okay, it wasn't all that much, but I had some personal problems, too ^^") Does that count as an apology?
That's a lot of people. Must've been a party scene or something, eh? Yeah, that does sound challenging; bet your throat was feeling it, too. My throat was definitely feeling it today. Hopefully it's better tomorrow (it got worse from yesterday, actually...) You should punch each one of the people who didn't respect your authority, and have someone follow you around filming you while you did it. Use the film as an example for your next project to those who would choose not to listen to you then. Or were you just talking about people driving? ...you should film yourself punching bad drivers, too. Just follow them where they're going, and punch them, then leave without an explanation. You don't like punching people? ...you'll get over it You're not learning anything at Uni? You've gone through this whole term without learning anything new at all? That's a bit of a waste... It was because it was all prerequisites, or something? Hopefully next term will be better for you. So what you're saying is that intuitively, you realize when you should use the word, but you couldn't really explain when the word is supposed to be used? Like, you don't know the definition? Tired... Watching Tiny Tune Adventures... Takes me back. Watched The Great Mouse Detective before that (a Disney cartoon movie from the 80's... also takes me back.) I love nostalgia... Today, I sent my PS3 back, because it was broken. I also found out two of my rear lights are out; the left and middle lights. That's no good; could get a ticket! Anyhoo... Wuv, Yer Mom
I wouldn't say it was horrible, but it wasn't much fun, either. Imagine ~25 people in a club - and YOU are the one who has to tell them what to do. I wasn't able to speak clearly at the end of the day x..x" It's been better after sleeping a few hours, but it wasn't that great. And, of course, there was a problem with........ guess what? Driving. -.- I HATE driving. I HATE cars. And, especially, I HATE people who don't respect me! (And my authority *lol* Sorry for that joke, couldn't be helped!) Bah, I feel sorry for your brother, I know how he must've felt. <.< I remember that happened when we shot our movie, too, but only once, thank god <<" Hm, shooting the movie isn't that much fun at the moment, I feel a bit... I don't know. I don't think it's a goal. And even if it were - we didn't achieve that goal. We wanted to finish shooting... yesterday, I think. ^^""" And we're still not done! >_< That sucks. As for university... haha, that was a nice joke, mister! Seriously. -.-" I don't have the feeling I learn ANYthing at uni. There is no goal for me. It's just boring. (I was at home all day long today AGAAAIN!!!!) Haha, no, I didn't want you to explain when to use must. XD It was just a random question that came to my mind. It's one that was asked in my course. And we learn that. I don't know when to use it, but I FEEL it. xP That's basically the problem we all experience: We know how to use it, but we don't know it really. XD I suppose I'll play SingStar now... But I don't know if I really want to... I want to do nothing. .,. I hate staying at home for three whole days... argh!
That's a long day. It was horrible, eh? Did something go wrong? Hope you got what you needed, though. Sounds like my brother's day, though; he drove an hour and a half to pick up someone who was to film with him tomorrow, only to have her not be there for him to pick up. So he drove back to film with us, and someone who was supposed to film with us didn't show up to filming. So we only did an hour of filming today; shots of me stalking around outside, and the guy pulling up in his car. Being with friends does make life more enjoyable... most of the time. Although don't you also get a sense of accomplishment at Uni or shooting the movie? Like you're working towards a goal? I need a goal to work towards, I think. I've put my book on hold, seeing as I'm just taking forever to write it, btw... I should write something else in the meantime, if I can't write that, maybe. Lulu was a cool character. They didn't do all that much with her though, eh? The part with more of her backstory is an optional area. It is given that she was going to marry Wakka's brother, who died, and a kind of relationship is hinted at between Wakka and her (and expanded upon in FFX-2, I hear.) It wasn't a lot, though. I was kind of hoping for more from her. Kind of like how I hoped for more from Freya in 9. It doesn't happen to frequently here anymore, either. Friends stay until late in the night a lot of time-frequently because they fell asleep on the couch or something. This friend needed a place to stay for the night. He's resituating himself from North Carolina and Idaho right now, actually. But yeah; one of my favorite things is staying up late and talking to friends about random stuff. We frequently do this with dim or no light, calling it "dark talk" (it's usually more serious subjects on these occasions, too.) Are you asking me when you're supposed to use the word "must?" "Must" is used when the verb of the sentence is something that "has" to be done. Like, "You must get there before 9 PM if you want to go today, or else they will be closed, and you will have to go back tomorrow." Make sense? And math is hard. I am terrible at it. I have a feeling that if I tried in it, I'd do okay, but I don't really like it at all. Thanks, I think Three dogs, eh? I'll bet they were very excited, running around everywhere, and causing general mayhem, haha. Wish I could've been there. But yeah; sounds like a good night. Now, I've got a cold, and I will sleep well tonight, hopefully. Have an enjoyable time at school, young lady, and good luck with filming! Anyhoo... Wuv, Yer Mom
Hey there~ I've got the feeling I don't answer often enough. Buuut! Yesterday I was out of the house all day long. x.x We had a biiig scene to shoot, that's why I didn't even have the chance to put on my computer. << >> I got up at 8 am (way too early! x.x") and came home at 9 pm. ^^" A horrible day, I was so exhausted.. Today's a bit better. I completely understand your problem, trust me. ^^" I get the feeling I sit in front of the computer too much, too. But when I'm at home and have nothing to do, I read at my computer. XD" Or write messages... watch Anime... stuff like that. But I also admit that I feel so much better when I'm at university or when I'm out to shoot the movie. .-. It just feels better. Must be because of my friends. :3" I don't know where Paine came from. I hated her, really. But that was because I heard - before playing the game! - that she's like Auron. She wasn't like Auron AT ALL. -.- As an Auron fangirl, I was quite pissed, 'cause I wanted to have a character like Auron again. << >> (I would've been happy if I had had Lulu in my party .-.") Glad to hear that your friend's feeling better now. I hope he enjoyed staying at your house. I'm always happy when friends stay over. Happens quite infrequently, but hey, last year I had some friends coming to my house on New Year's x3~ Hm, I've the feeling I don't learn THAT much. Even my grammar course is a bit boring by times. EVERYONE in the course knows how to speak and write English, but we have to learn WHY we say it like that. (Like: When do I have to use "must"? -_-") I suppose I learned a few things, at least.... okay, to be honest, I learned a WHOLE LOT in Maths so far. But that's the only course I really have the feeling that I learn something. <.<" > I just wanted to get back to you because... I dunno. You're so cute. <3 *giggles* x3 Sleep.. hehe, my parents would probably ask you what that is. XD Tonight my brother came home at 6 am. (He went partying ALL NIGHT LONG ^^") And then he seems to have come across two dogs on the street. They followed him (probably because he smells of another dog - our dog ^^") home. So we had three dogs in our house that night! (And they barked first, that's why my parents woke up and couldn't go back to sleep again ^^") But they aren't here anymore. In the morning the owner of the dogs came and took them back again. ^^ But that was a quite interesting night for my parents. XD
Yeah... I suppose since I really had nothing else going on when I was playing, it was okay. But it really makes me feel irresponsible, like I'm turning into a really lazy person who doesn't do anything but play video games and looks on the internet all the time. I don't wanna be that guy, y'know? I don't want to be a burden to anyone else. I don't want to get fat and lazy and be content to just stare at a computer screen all day. I know that I said that to you. Those first couple nights, I really enjoyed it, but after that, it felt more like an addiction. If there's nothing else to do, it's okay. But I need to feel that I'm accomplishing something. Heh heh. I like your tie in to being hungry, btw. And don't worry; what you've written is fine, lady. ^^ Heh. Yuna was that bad, eh? I've seen that she started that whole pop star gig thing for that game, which seems rather silly. And then there was this new character, Paine. Where did she come from? Yeah, and I didn't really care for Rikku, either. Argh, some day soon, I will remember to record myself singing for you. I need a kick in the butt for that one, definitely. That would give me something to do, indeed. Although today, I was rather busy: worked from 11 to 7:30, went to my table top RPG I play infrequently on Friday nights, then went to visit with a friend who's come back to town. He has been through some rough stuff recently, and it was really good to see him, actually. We talked to him for a long time about his stuff, and then prayed for him. It was rather emotional. He's staying here tonight, actually; sleeping right behind me on the other couch. ...I'm really enjoying how the backspace button means "go back a page" for some reason or another, infrequently, when I'm typing messages online. That's cool that school is occupying for you. Did you learn lots of new and interesting information? Yeah, see, the thing about internet communities, is that some people believe that there are actually no girls on the internet. That anyone who acts like a girl is actually a 40 year old man, or whatever. That's a very cynical way to look at the world, of course. I don't. In any case, it's really late right now. I just wanted to get back to you because... I dunno. You've said you're not worried about me writing you again right away. But the sooner I write you, maybe, the sooner I'll hear from you again Maybe it's the time of night, and the less amount of sleep I got last night... I should say goodnight. Know I've babbled on for a while already. Anyhoo... Wuv, Yer Mom
If it's fun, it's no waste of time. Always remember: If you enjoy yourself, it's perfect. xP That's what YOU said to me. I try to stick to it. That's why I'm gonna eat something after writing this. I'M F-ING HUNGRY!!!!!! Oh lol .,." My mother now came into my room and I asked her where my father is at the moment. He's not at home. And I thought that he may be out to... buy something or stuff. XD" And then she reminded me of the fact that he went to work today. *headdesk* I even saw him this very morning when I ate breakfast (do not be afraid - I ate something because I got up at 5.30.. and I was hungry XD"). Now I haven't written a message to my mother as I wanted to. Because I thought: "When my father comes home again.. he'll probably cook something!"..... Haha, now my mom's a bit disappointed. ^^" (I should've made her something, at least. And me, too! >_<") (Gosh, this paragraph has to be full of mistakes O_o" Sorry if I made your eyes bleed ^^") > Auron is probably my favorite character in that game. Yaay, I love you!!! <3~~ And I also liked the Cid in FFVII. I didn't like any of the other Cid's. Only the one of FFVII. (Which is quite rare in that game... I don't like most of the characters ^^") I played FFX-2... but there was no Auron *cough* So I didn't really like it. Though it really is a great game if you like side quests. The story is pretty lame, but there is so much to do... It's quite amazing, especially if you really manage to get 100% ^^" I only had ~65%, but I didn't want the perfect ending. I suppose I haven't even seen the good ending. XD That's because I didn't want Yuna to meet Tidus again. Tidus would've comitted suicide if he'd seen what has become of Yuna o_o" (I.. won't call her names, but... Damn, really, she sucked in that game. ^^" I even liked Rikku better, though I didn't like Rikku that much in FFX...) > doing choir practice C-Choir practice...? o_o You definitely have to send me your singing soon~ Now I really want to listen to you singing *_* (Besides, that would be something you could do all day long xP *kehehe*) Hah, today I even had two lectures! (Of three -.-") So I feel at least a BIT occupied. And I have to write an essay at the weekend. It'll be about The Glass Menagerie - I'm sure you know the book. :3 Have you read it? ^^ > I think it's funny that that kid suggested you might not like FF9, of all the FF games, however. Did he completely miss the part where your sn is Freya? He also called you "man," ha. Not very observant. Kehehe... yeah, I noticed that, too. I was quite amused XD Maybe I named myself Freya because Yuna wasn't available anymore... XD Just kidding. And I smirked when I read "man". It's not that everyone on here is like Mistress Sheena - having a sn that's female, though being a guy xP
Oh yeah, you said that it was a class all in English. Sorry; sometimes I miss details like that. There's an example of me not remembering something! Also, I might check that thread out; if I take a break from Oblivion long enough to do it, heh. I've been installing mods so I can do extra stuff, like boss NPC's around, go beyond the in game borders, new territory, killing unkillables, etc. It's fun. And a waste of time, probably. Yeah, I've noticed that banner in your sig for Auron. That's cool; Auron is probably my favorite character in that game. Maybe because none of the characters in the game quite fit the archetype for "Tom's favorite character in this game, heh." He was the badass of the game, eh? That's usually not my favorite. FF7, however, had like 3 or 4 characters I liked a lot: Cait Sith, Cid, Vincent, and Red XIII. I even liked Tifa quite a bit. It really was a fun game. Too bad it's attracted so many fanboys and fangirls, and spawned countless spinoffs that don't really measure up... (Yeah, my problem is with the legacy, I think.) Did you ever play X-2? I've heard from one person that it was actually a fairly fun game, if you gave it a chance. Come to think of it, we did have a sort of "Christmas Calendar" when I was younger. It was a cloth banner that had a picture of a house on it, and there was a bear that you pinned up in different locations of the house each day, until finally he made it to the living room on Christmas day (where his family was waiting, or something.) No chocolates, though. Although my birthday is the 16th, so I paid attention to where he was on that day, heh. Nope, no work. Still. I'm filming again tonight, though, and doing choir practice, so that's something. I also went out with some friends yesterday. Also, got my PS3... but it doesn't work right. It will run the disk for like the first few minutes, and then can't read it anymore, it seems. Also, it didn't come with a controller. So I went out and bought a controller before I knew this. I've spent like $290 on a system I can't play... I'm a little pissed about it. Need to do something about it. However, I've been feeling very sedentary and lazy lately, for some reason... Need a kick in the ass, I think. Hope you can find something to occupy your time with. Wish the same for me, please! (Other than more Oblivion...) Anyhoo... Wuv, Yer Mom EDIT: I just read the first half of the first page of that thread (or thereabouts) and got discouraged by all the walls of text... I think it's funny that that kid suggested you might not like FF9, of all the FF games, however. Did he completely miss the part where your sn is Freya? He also called you "man," ha. Not very observant.
Yep, the "FF began to suck ballz" thread. <.<" It has gotten pretty far by now, I finally realized again why I came to this forum: So much text. x..x I have to read through it thoroughly... later. Still have to write a story, then I'll read it. ^^" > Although I wouldn't have understood what you were saying. You... you are kidding me, aren't you? You don't understand English? XD Hehe, I'll have to try Oblivion one day. :3 It seems to be a great game~ ^^ FFX was my first FF... at least the first I played through to the end. .-." So it's special for me. :3 Still, it wasn't the best of the best. (Though... Auron was great. <3 Have I ever mentioned that I'm an Auron fangirl? XD) After playing a game I often think: "Wow, that's the best I've ever played!" but then, after a few weeks, it isn't as special anymore. ^^" Well, it is quite important. .-. Every kid has one. XD" But most of them just get a piece of chocolate every day. (I've much more right now. x..x") In my family everyone has one. It's tradition to have one, even if it's only chocolate. That's mostly because of Christmas... but.. don't ask me why we do it. XD" I don't really get it. Maybe it's just our way to wait for Christmas to come.. dunno. I don't care about Christmas much. ^^" My winter break will start at the 23rd :3~ Some students might go to university on that day, but as it's a Wednesday I've my day off >3~ So I'm not that near. Thank goodness. <_<" I still have nothing to do T.T" Yesterday I went to university and the lecture was cancelled -.- I was quite pissed off... (That's why I was online yesterday XD Normally I don't put on my computer on Tuedays ^^") How about your work? Has someone called you in again? .-.
FFXII bashers? Eh? Was someone bashing it in a thread today, or something? The other day, my friends and I were at Gamestop, and the guy at the counter was like, "I know people are gonna yell at me for this, but I really loved FFXII." And one of my friends was like, "Well we all liked it too, so you aren't offending anyone." I would have liked to see that presentation; sounds funny. Although I wouldn't have understood what you were saying. That reminds me: One time I did a presentation on how to draw, actually. Actually, I did it twice; the first time for a room full of High School students, and the second time in front of college sutdents of various ages. The High School students laughed. The college students... not so much. A la Rodney Dangerfield, I thought, "I'm dyin' out here!" I think you told me it was a murder mystery before. Although I haven't really played this obsesively in a long time. The odd thing is that I've owned Oblivion for over a year now, and I played it the first time when I was in Yellowstone on my friends' PS3. I just decided to play it for a little while the other weekend, and then I didn't play it again until this weekend. And then... it just sucked me in again. I swear, it's one of those games that will steal your soul. I actually finally beat it last night... and then I played it some more (it's one of those games that never ends. All of the Elder Scrolls games are like that, actually.) The end was pretty cool, though. Yeah, the game is Arkham Asylum (you were very close, ma'am! ) Saw a demo of it yesterday. It looks really pretty. (I still don't have my PS3, btw...) FFX is a game I've thought about going through again, too. I remember when it first came out, a lot of people were talking it down, and at the same time, at least a couple of my friends heralded it as their favorite and the absolute best in the series. (My favorite will always be VI, of course.) Is the Advent Calendar really important over there, or something? What is the significance? Just the holiday season? And also: You are right, of course. I shouldn't worry that much about what they think. Although I will definitely try not to miss church next weekend. And also to make sure that game doesn't devour my soul again like it has in the past, haha. Btw: Do you get winter break? How close are you to it? Anyhoo... Wuv, Yer Mom
