HI ZERIA long time no see!!
what's up? |
Hey. On holiday at the moment, so I finally get a little time to relax ^^
How have things been for you? |
applying for jobs :s this whole year has been sucking so far lol
glad to hear you're doing well, though!! |
idk if I'd say "well" exactly but...yeah, this is my welcome reprieve from work, home, drama, and doctor's appointments. The first break I've had since January...partly my fault for not booking any holiday until now I guess, but I don't get much time and I need my birthday, the last week of December, and the first week of January, so...yeah. Long haul.
...next week I spiral back down into the pit of misery I've been in for months, probably. But at least there are some good video games on the horizon! Job hunting is a soul-crushing, tiring experience and I hope you manage to find something soon >.< |

First day of classes today. Wooooo!
|
So anyway, some members of the school band (which of course includes me) are going to another state for a band competition during the Labor Day weekend. Band practice was so annoying today. It was so loud I couldn't hear myself play. And then one of the teachers was messing with my sound wth (I play keyboard btw).
Say if any of you were in school band or part of the marching arts in general, answer me this question...was there a keyboard player in your band? I need to know! Or is it just me.... |
I wish I can start classes again, but life has been really crappy this year, so I have to weather out the rest of this year first before even thinking about going back. x.x
|
I'd love to go back to school...I can't believe it's been 6 years already.
|
I dont really miss school times just yet, then again they were godawful
|
I haven't been a good student at uni thus far. Hope I can change that tonight.
|
Uni? Idk her
|
Spoiler: Big image but this is relevant to the topic I promise

|
Hello guys, just discovered this part of the forum XD How is everyone doing?
|
Doing well how about yourself?
|
Oof I just realized how big the image I posted was. Sorry desktop users.
Apart from studying for a quantum physics problem set, I'm doing alright! Hope everyone is doing well, too. |
I'm wishing this damn cough would go away but other than that it's a nice day out and I have today and tomorrow off.
|
Guys the Amazon is burning :c
|
ngl it stresses me out thinking about it, especially fearing that the future is going to get worse from here on out and people just aren't caring enough to do something to save our own planet. meanwhile im just one person so im unable to make much of a difference, if at all.
it just sucks. |
it's a sad sight to see really and it sucks even more that I can't do much from over here :c
|
I had this whole mini-essay typed out as an answer but then I accidentally missclicked and it all got erased...
So I'm doing a short summary Yes the amazon burning is a big deal, for a multitude of reasons: - The obvious one: it's bad. Duh. - The less obvious one: It technically happens every year to make room for cattle. It's suddenly big news only now because of the current political scene in Brazil and because Climate Change news are the hot topic right now that gets views/clicks. That's good. I hope this trend continues, we need a lot of news about this, the ice caps, what every country is doing(or not doing),how bad things are in general, to get the message to as many people as possible. Please don't let it be just a fad that will stop as soon as 2019 ends. That said, it's okay to take a break from time to time. The constant bombardment of bad news is bad for your mental health. It's just makes you feel frustrated and powerless. I've had a rough couple of months dealing with this. I used to wake up with this feeling of dread and fear of how bad things would get in the next X years. I honestly felt like somebody had told me "You've got X years left to live, enjoy them". The fault was mostly some very sensationalized article that, once I digged a bit more in depth, pretty much took the very worst-case scenario that assumed that we not only do nothing but pretty much increase emissions, and even then was still statistically improbable, as an absolute certainty. Cue all the "We're gonna day in X years" articles. Then I slowly realized I couldn't go on like this. Yes things are bad. Yes every time I read some news about another X kilometers of ice lost or forest burned or species that are going to go exctint I feel a stab of that same anxiety and dread. But... I'm alive. Now. I'm lucky enough that things are still good here. Now. I can't waste this present that I have right now in fear of how bad things are going to become in the next 10,30 or 100 years. I could always get hit by a bus crossing the road tomorrow and then all that time spent paralyzed by fear would have been good for nothing. It's important to keep informed, to be aware of what's happening so we can not actively make the situation a tiny bit worse. But it's also important to step back and take some time for yourself and your life, and what you can do at "your" scale of things. |

So Shovel Knight is actually not that bad to you? I guess that's good.
|
i havent encountered that heathen just yet, if i had i'd send him to the worst location known to mankind
a train producing facility |
I'm gonna go on a tangent here but the mention of trains reminded me of a scene in Spider-Man: Far From Home.
I hope Tom Holland still gets to play the character. FFH was such a good movie, too. |
TY's worst nightmare is being trapped in a supermarket
|
correction, being trapped in the shovel department of a supermarket located right next to railway tracks where a train passes by every 15 minutes
|
That's... quite specific
|
i mean if it's my worst nightmare it should be specific no? :P
|
I mean, not necessarily... Your worst nightmare could be pickles
|
Even worse than pickles is the SMELL of pickles.
|
I had pickles (or gherkins) with my burger today. They are tasty! :o
|
Pickles ❤️
addicted to dates lately though they’re so good in Africa |
Pickles are awful if you eat them alone tbh
|
Pickles are one of those godawful substances that should never be consumed but is for some reason. Like so-called "seafood" although nothing that comes from the sea is edible either >.>
|
I feel like a monster because I love pickles and all kinds of seafood and fish lol
Except oysters, those are the only seafood I won't eat |
Pickles are aight, i like fish and seafood though
|
Ugh! My laptop broke so I can only get access to the net on certain weekdays. *sob*
|
sorry to hear that, redballoon ;__;
also i feel like im honestly so picky with what i eat (and have been for years). can't stand seafood. x.x |
yikes thats awful to hear about your laptop
|
sorry ive been so absent lately i've been busy hello everyone
how was yalls weekends |
Was fine I guess, my parents came back from their trip to Santiago on Saturday and yesterday we went to a peruvian restaurant.
Yours? |

Are you feeling better now, btw? How was everything at your mom's bday? |
You know octopus is good when the texture is just right. The worst ones are the rubbery ones.
Belated happy birthday to your mom, Tyler! Hope you are doing well! And whoever is reading this, too! |
Hey guys...I have temporary access to an iPad. I will have full access to a laptop before the end of October...hopefully.
Edit: Man, there’s so much I want to vent on here. I am going to a band competition tomorrow morning for the Labor Day weekend. Fun I guess. But lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about my depressive addiction to feeling...numb inside. I like feeling sad and as cringy as it sounds...is emo the word? I wouldn’t do anything extreme. Just the feeling internally. Seriously, is there something wrong with me? And then Is also wanting to switch instruments for band in 2020 and wanting to make a Pokémon comic for YouTube. You can tell my thoughts are all over the place. Hopefully there will be computers at the hotel so maybe I’ll reorganize my thoughts on the ride to the other state. |

Hope things pick up for you RedBalloon!
As for myself I got a job interview that I need to do well in, I need a job more than ever. Plus my dad being in a 24/7 state of coughing even though doctors say there's nothing wrong with him got me in such a stressful mood |
Good luck!
Being a uni student (again) who can’t commit to a full-time job, and having a casual job that isn’t the most ideal (being a waiter in a restaurant has its days), I’m now proud to say I am now a bartender. Still a casual job, but it pays well! |
Thank you so much Sheep.
Hope the job interview goes well for you Ty. Congrats on the bartender job Laslow. The trip was an interesting trip. I am home now. The details of the trip is something I refuse to get into. Don’t ask please. Uh...happy Labor Day I guess. Just wanted to let you know that I’m home. |
I feel like I haven't been around here in forever. I had to suffer with work yesterday but I just hope that everything at work can go back to about as normal as possible. How was everyone's holiday weekend?
|
It wasn't a holiday for me but I spent 3 days with 3 different friend groups anyways. It was lovely! I'm happy I can stay in contact with my favorite friends even if our careers take different paths and we move to different cities.
|
I had to work for Labor Day and during the day it was just crazy but by the time I was getting ready to leave to was pretty much dead.
|
Unfortunately I had to work as well. It was heavily busy which annoyed me a bit, but oh well
|
The only good thing about working holiday is getting holiday pay. Although I refuse to work Christmas because that is family time for me.
|
I never get extra pay for any kind of work. It's a standard salary I get every month, but that's also kind of nice and reassuring. I know there'll always be money coming in every month unless I totally screw up and get fired, which isn't easy to do as there's 34985 laws in place to protect even mean/stupid workers d:
|
I wish we could get a bunch of new people because the ones in my section do very little or bare minimum for their paycheck.
|
Outdated chat mediums are my favorite <3
|
hey squad
|
Hey to all the awesome people out there. :D
|
i've done nothing today but sit here and dread school starting tomorrow
whats everyone up 2 |
I've done absolutely nothing today. Slept half the day away and still trying to get over whatever the hell I had but now Mom is getting sick.
|
Blehhh, I hope you two feel better soon, Caite! <3
|
Uggh that stinks. I haven't done anything either today. Not sick though, just feeling very lethargic. Some days are just like that for me.

I caught the flu... just perfect :x
|
It's flu season already? Still feels like summer somewhat tbh.
|
gghdh feel better ty, having the flu is just miserable
|
would seem like it is flu season here temperature dropped by like 50%
|
It's been flu season at my work and I'm hoping I'm getting over it but now I gave whatever I had to my Mom. I'm just tired of being sick. I can't remember the last time I've been sick for this long.
|
thank goodness I don't really go outside enough to get sick. :x
|
For me it's not going outside it's because I work in an arcade where you have god knows WHAT touching games and little kids coughing on anything and everything.
|
I barely go outside and I got sick, no one is truly safe
|
Flu season already? Not looking forward to the colder season as I hate...the cold.
Anyway, since the trip, i've been growing more irritable lately, but I haven't been feeling so called "numb." I'd rather have the flu over extreme anger but that's just me. I miss numb. I really do but don't fight me. Plans for today after classes/school: Start my Pokemon Comic, and watch the new Nintendo Direct. Let's hope I follow through with those plans today. |
pokemon comic? tell me more
|
I'll be in class for the direct but maybe if i'm lucky I can catch little snipits of news.
|
Customers and kids are coming in here sick. I'm trying valiantly to avoid them :x I really can't afford to be sick
|
I'm tired of being sick but I'm just glad I have insurance to go to the doctors now. I'm so tired of people not watching their own kids and taking better care of them. Don't take them out if they are getting sick.
|
Hey Rainbow. The comic is just about the Pokemon I kept in my Crystal games (not transferred to Ultra Moon), and their stupid misadventures in the Johto Region. IDK really. I only kept six in Crystal. I didn't even put a dent in this comic/project last night. But I watched like 75% of the Direct before the internet buffered up. :(
|
I got a yellow fever vaccination the other day which may give me flu like symptoms over a 10 day period while my body "absorbs" it. So far so good though...
|
Hey, guess what just happened? I was walking across my room with the lights off, and I stepped on some sort of electronics charger! Prongs up, of course!
