    You got any idea how I could go about making the cape on the Imperial Captain? It's for my cosplay this October and also for my Halloween outfit but that's just between the two of us.

    I'm going through a similar thing. I have already handed in my resignation at my current work place and I finish there on the 23rd August. I had an interview for an Engineering role for the Ministry of Defence last week and ideally I get through. If I don't get the job though, I'm going to be unemployed. I decided IT wasn't for me (I can do the stuff but I feel like engineering is the way forward for me). I'm taking a pretty big gamble but I guess we'll see what happens. You could say I'm following my heart or at least I think I am. But yeah I won't be making as much money with this engineering role and I won't be able to fast track my career anywhere near as quick if I had stayed in IT but over this past year of employment I have realized that money can only go so far to provide happiness.

    As a side, it takes me about an hour to get to work by vehicle and walking. I usually get up at about 7:30. I wish you all the best with your future.

    Somebody is stalking my conversations.

    My job. It's, like, every week "do more of this" but no extra time to do it. And I hate how long it takes me to get to work, and how I have to wake up so early. I used to be able to handle it okay and only get grumpy on Thursday or whatever, but now it's like Monday I'm already sick of it. And then, a short while back I met up with someone I knew in college and she was all "I'm doing what I like to do. I don't make much money but it's enough to live on and I'm happy." That just made me feel even more like I should just quit my job and... I dunno.

    Unfortunately I don't have much more to offer than my own experiences, and since I'm an anxious person that colors things for me. Out of all the people I know there isn't anyone who's had a LDR that I know of. Which is a little strange given the people I know.

    Ba-dum tisshhh

    Just try to keep communication open. If you have any difficulties, share them. But also share the good things going on for you in your separate lives. It can feel sad that you're not sharing them, but if the relationship is to last it's good and healthy.

    Look at me. I almost sound like I know what I'm talking about.

    I'm sure if you can find an old history joke if you dig through your past.

    Well I'm a busy man so I might be OK with the whole 'waiting' part. I'm a strong person now so I think I can handle it.

    I studied history, too. Want to hear a history joke? Too bad. I don't know any.

    It's hard because you spend too much time sitting and waiting for the other person to be available, building up anxiety and expectations and all that for the moment when you can actually talk, and then you're left with a feeling of sadness after because it was all too short.

    Wait, you're an English Lit major but only have one Lit joke?

    Why was it hard for you? How did you deal with your difficulties? What would you do differently if you ever got into one again?

    Well, now you know all my literary jokes. Put them to good use.

    Yes. They are hard.

    Literary joke. Oscar Wilde story. The Picture of Dorian Gray. He sells his soul so that a painting of him ages and gets sick instead of him.

    No problem. It's been busy for me, too.
