Talk about life.

[Avaitor]

Since I've grown tired of bitching about my  woes and feel like no one cares about my random fan bursts, not to mention that I've been getting tired of my IRL friends, I finally deactivated my Facebook, and somehow, it feels pretty good.

One less trigger to deal with.

[Commode]

That's great and all, but if I recall you had a list of your favorite animated series going that wasn't done.  Would like some closure please.

So now I've become employed by GameStop two days after getting arrested for DUI.

It's been one of those weeks.

[Avaitor]

Huh.

Sounds eventful at least.

[Daxdiv]

I feel like that there is more to that story.

As for me, trying to find myself a better job than what I have. I need to find something with benefits, since I don't even get any benefits from my current job. Especially after I went to the dentist today and learned that I'm no longer covered by my parent's insurance plan. Also, had to pay like $12 for some medicine I have to take due to a heart surgery I had when I was a little kid.

I feel like that there is more to that story.

There is. But I don't think I should talk about it until after everything's completely worked out.

If you haven't found out already, I'm transgender (I started the coming out process on Twitter and have since done so on a few forums I frequent) and will be changing my display name and gender on here to reflect this.

Fact is I've known it for a long time and thought it was just a phase at first, but then I realized this is really who I am.

From now on my display name here will be Tay, which is short for Taylor.

[Avaitor]

Wow, talk about a big change.

Well, I'm proud of you for coming out and being able to admitting that. It takes a lot of courage.

Just found out that one of my childhood pets(a black cat named Raider) is finally being put to sleep tomorrow.  I guess it's for the best, since she was like seventeen years old and has been kind of ill for a while now, but at the same time I was hoping I'd be able to see the cat at least one more time when I came home for Christmas. 

Strangely, when I got the phone call from my parents the song Lightning Crashes was playing on the radio.  Not really sure what to make of that.

[Avaitor]

Wow, that's a nice, long life. At least it died living for a good while.

I'm sorry that you're losing her, though. I know how much having dead pets sucks.

[GaryPotter]

Just found out I'm losing my job. California is such an employment wasteland these days.

Never thought I'd post something like this, but I apparently have a crush on a girl in two of my classes. One of those classes was a workshop one, and her writing's exquisite, intelligent, and makes me ashamed of my own. There's been a few times where there was small talk, and she seemed nice. Also, she's hot. So three-for-three. Problem is, I'm ugly, shy, awkward as fuck, and have no idea how to approach. Doesn't help that my previous bouts with relationships have been more like cruel satires of one than the actual article.

[Avaitor]

Just try talking to her more, find some things you have in common, and see if you can expand from that. You'll never know if you don't give it a shot.

That's the thing. Don't know how without coming off as some kind of creep.

[Avaitor]

I get that feeling. If you see her outside of class (as in, you find her at random but don't stalk her to see her outside of class), try to start a conversation with her, probably about class, and try to expand from that. Or if you have spare time before the professor starts, just try to talk to her there.

If you two click, you're good, no matter how creepy you may feel by just coming up to her.
