So, I'm going to spend some time actually updating my LJ, because, you know, some people actually read this thing.

So, the job is going well so far.  I've so far met everyone, but only worked with the manager and assistant manager.  I had a really bad scare today because I was told I had no hours this week, and then got called at 6:20 with the ASM asking where I was because I was 20 minutes late.  I'll be damned if I didn't learn my roomate's stick shift car to get my ass there.  The ASM wasn't angry, she knew it was a misunderstanding.  I'll make up the time on Friday.

Other than that, I'm really looking forward to this weekend.  I'm looking forward to seeing old friends and doing my best to forget the shit that's going on in my life.

Ok, so there's not much to update on.  I'm boring :P

 it's nice when good friends come up, have a few drinks with you, and end the night with smile and laughing.  It's a fantastic weekend. :)

I have my job at Game Stop.  I'm getting paid more than I was at my other job, and I'll be upgraded to an SGA soon enough.

I'm at a weird spot, but I am happy.  My heart is somewhere uncertain, but it's in a good place.  My patience is unbreakable.

More sober update later.  I'm not being a depressed drunk, I'm just really happy :)

 I'm in better shape now, although sleeping is slowly becoming an issue that I need to address.  I hate sleeping alone, and the cats don't seem to want to cuddle while I'm sleeping.

For those of you who don't know, I got an interview at a local EB Games.  The interview went really well, and today I went in to return a game I got and grab another one.  The manager was there and he rang me up.  We chit chatted, and then I asked about second call backs.  He smiled and told me that his assistant manager told him about me.  We talked a bit more, and he took down my name and number so he can call me later for my second interview.  I'm really excited.  He seems like a really nice guy.  I can't wait for the interview.

I'm doing my best to get my feet back on the ground.  When I get this job it'll be a great help.  It'll be nice to be able to pay for things for once and start paying people back.

On a side note:  making things with small scales takes a REALLY long time.  After I finish this new vest I'm not going to touch small scale armor making for a while.

 So I basically got told "You're not going to college, get a job" yesterday.  To top it off, it was followed by, "We don't see you enough, come by more often."  

The long and short of what I could gather what they were trying to tell me is that it's been 5 years since I've stayed home and no one on my dad's side knows anything about me anymore.  They also want me to go to a college that's down the road from them.  They also want me to move in with my step brother, who is going to live down the road from them as well.

Needless to say, I'm stressed and pissed off.  I really need to find a job, and I have no idea what I'm going to do from here.  I'm just going to have to figure things out as they come.

 Note to self:  STOP DRINKING

 So, I still don't know if I'm back in school or not yet.  I went to go see my dad and step mom, and I got little done.  Aparently they are completely fine with me LARPing and actually support me making armor and things, which suprised me.  Their main concern is where I'm going with school, which I'm not too sure with because I'm changing from Psychology to Business, so I'm not exactly too sure where to go with it immediately.  This concerns them.  Their main question was if I needed to be at Montclair in order to accomplish what I needed to do.  I have no idea what they want to hear, but they're making it sound like they just don't want me to go to school.

A few days ago I got a call from my dad.  He wanted me to move back home.  I'm trying to think of a nice way to say, "Sorry, I'm much happier out of the house.  It's way too late to ask me to come home."

God damn I need it to be the weekend right now.

 Now I remember why I have one of these, pouring my heart into a public place when I need encouragement or advice.

Monday I got a text message from Lisa, my step mom reading, "No money for school until we talk about grades and credits".  This doesn't freak me out that much, especially since I know exactly what I'm doing for school.  I'm changing from psychology to a business major and I should be done with school in about 2 years if all goes well.  My dad and step mom seem to need constant reminders of what I'm doing, which pisses me off.  The unsettling thing about it all is my dad is just starting to sound like he doesn't want to pay for college period.  This poses a temporary problem as I can't quite pay for college on my own.

There are times where I feel like not finishing school, finding a job I can do for the rest of my life and live comfortably.  I don't need a fancy car, house, or other little things to be happy.  I'd like those things and to do a job I enjoy, but they aren't needed.  I guess I'll keep things updated as the situation developes.

 Ok... so it's been months since I last updated.... too much crap to explain, so I'll break it down pure and simple:

Got through first semester at Montclair.  Grades were eh, could have done better.  I make scalemail now, I made stuff.  I moved in with Goley for the summer, regretted it, now I live with Eric in Denville, best choice of the summer so far.

That's the past few months in a nut shell minus the larp geek stuff.

I'll try to update more, promise

Can you say

Assassin's Creed 2 teaser?

Where did my pants go?  Oh that's right, THEY'VE EXPLODED INTO ANOTHER PLANE OF EXSISTENCE

Who has layout skillz? Mine bore me and I would like to commission a new one :3

Now is time for D&D kobold :D

Ever have one of those old anime/manga series you are dying to find but can't find anywhere?

I'm currently on a mad search for one...

I need to convert an .mkv movie into an .mp4 for my PSP.  I have a psp converter, but when I convert it the movie is only in german.  Is there anything I can use to just convert the movie into an .mp4?

Nevermind.  Its impossible to keep it in english when converting it.

Today started out terrible, but ended AMAZINGLY

I'm now in my "dorm" room for Montclair. I'm not on campus, which you would think would suck at first, but I'm actually in a hotel. It's awesome. There's a Target, Barnes & Noble, the Shannon Rose, and a Game Stop across Rt 3! Most people familiar with the area should know where I am... or should I say how close I am ;D

After +30 hours, I beat Valkyria Chronicles

After +25 hours, I beat God Hand

I am satisfied with my recent gaming accomplishments.

My desktop works, it just needs a MAJOR upgrade. Its 5 years old, so just imagine what needs to be done.

this is probably the last entry I'll be writing from my laptop. it got a nasty virus and now its crashing all the time. I can't system restore and starting it on safe mode isn't helping. This is probably the greatest fucking thing that could happen to me a week before classes start. God fucking damnit. I'll be amazed if I end the week with no grey hairs.

Day 2 of attempting to go up north: Failed

My mom apologized and offered to take me up... on Thursday.

I guess I'll try tomorrow
