Where is his internets coming from?

Eligos - sorry you're so burned out with shit lately. Is there anything on the horizon to look forward to currently?

Camping trips, Comic Con, writing the next Dreadnought album. Having time to take vocal lessons. Pretty sure that I'll get to pursue a relationship with a close friend of mine. I'll have time to read non-academic materials and meditate more often. Not too bad, I'd say.

Grant, you seem to be back in full force. Welcome back.

Thanks. Life is presently a bit of heaven and of hell, with little in between. I can get down to that.

I haven't felt this much emotional weight since I was evacuated from my apartment due to the Waldo Canyon wildfire. I know it's probably foolish of me to hinge so much hope on something that seems this small, but I've been doing school, work, and a band, all full-time, for 3 years. It takes a lot of strength to keep myself from burning out.

Jesus, i think i've had maybe 1/2 that output at most in my life, and currently it's around 10%. It's exciting to see people getting shit done on a pro scale.

Yeah man, I became a workaholic after my last long term relationship left me with far more debt than a 19-year-old should have. The last 3 years have just whizzed by.

the public library

It's not unreasonable to think that the military turns away people who are diagnosed with any form of autism for combat training.

M_C is autistic?

my mental condition is this

So wait, you're spending hours a day looking up pictures of whooties, probably reading Spider Man fan fiction, and incessantly posting here at the public library? You have to write an autobiography.

Hey m_c,

When someone offers to buy you food, don't be picky about what they get you. I was floored by the gall of this vagrant who I bought lunch for this last weekend, you'd have thought he was born under a rock. I guess some folks weren't raised with the platitude, "Beggars can't be choosers," drilled into their heads.

 

[damnromulans]

Accidentally way overboiled my eggs. Yuck

[viewerfromnihil]

M_C, a disability check is not a job

 

[monoxide_child]

M_C, a disability check is not a job

yeah, well in today's society me "having a silver tongue" isn't really a job either

 

[Eligos]

Sure it is. They call it sales.

 

[Cronopio]

Fuck sales. No, for real.

Three days after I got assigned my class for next semester, I got an email from a student asking what we would be reading. Fuck, I hadn't even written up syllabus; so I just sent him a long list of all the writers I would want to cover in an ideal semester, which is way more than I could ever hope to. I figured it would be better to cut writers than add more. That kid never wrote anything back; I think I scared him off.

Then, today, I get an email from Barnes & Noble asking what text I'm assigning for my class. Jesus Christ, my orientation isn't even until next week, what the fuck is wrong with everyone.

I've loved BU's department and program, but they're definitely a bit disorganized regarding their TAs.

So there's this kind of weird older guy at my job who thinks it's cool to touch the girl workers every time he passes by them. He doesn't touch anywhere that's really ridiculous it's usually just the waist or something, but either way it's annoying because he's old, creepy, says weird things, and it's just annoying coming from him to be honest. Usually I dismiss it because I really feel he has some type of down syndrome or just isn't as smart as normal people tend to be (and he moves painfully slow at work too so I think he has some kind of mental disorder because he really can't focus...) I thought I was imagining this guy being a little too touchy when I overheard another coworker say out loud after he passed her, "Ugh! Why does he have to touch me every time he passes?" So we told him about it and of course he didn't think he was doing anything wrong. Lo' and behold he does it again today to a girl who's big and has a spicy attitude, so she told him off. Moral of the story? Being polite doesn't always work sometimes people need to get yelled at by a big scary chick once in awhile.
