fountainofdreams 's love life is like SETI. Lots of signals, no physical contact events.
I’m private
Wow. Long time no post.
I'm really sick of my "current" employers, right about now. I'm owed about 1400 dollars in backpay, and I haven't heard from them in 2 weeks. (I haven't worked in 4.)
Royal ass-fuck? I believe so!

I'm off the market! Finally.

So, I'm pretty sure I have a job in retail hell. Oh well, it's money.
Group went REALLY late tonight. Having thanksgiving dinner probably set us off by a good hour or two. Having some interesting encounters in our d20 game didn't really help that.
On a related note; do not cross paths with a dire were-rat. Bad things happen.
I almost became a were-rat! Instead, I may be poisoned for potentially all my strength ability score. For any non-geeks out there? That's bad. I'm thinking about actively changing my role in the group, because frankly, my barbarian is sick of taking the punishment so that elf in the back can get an equal share of loot.

You know, I think I just figured out why I'm single.

I need to get out of this place. Hopefully I'll hear something about a possible job this week, and I can start working on getting out of here. I'll be home for a while, but it'll be winter and it won't matter.

I've discovered that my grandmother is insane. The woman can't leave well enough alone, and she needs to bug everyone about everything.
Okay, I need to explain. When I was 12/13, we moved into the house we're in now, out of our old house (built by my dad and the rest of our family) to move in with my grandparents (for financial reasons, and whatever. It's a huge pain in the ass). Ostensibly, the house is bigger. Realistically, the rooms are all smaller, we have less storage, and the house is mired in the 1950's--No, really. It's a fucking time warp. Most of the electrical plugs have no ground prong. The walls are covered in this faux-plaster shit that makes them completely useless to put posters or other decoration up, as well as giving you bleeding knuckles if you scrape them on the wall. The carpet's a different color and thickness in every room, including the kitchen
. The kitchen is shitty, the living room/dining room is smaller than the two separate rooms we had in our old house, and basically means everything is shitty in this house. Everything leaks, drips, or otherwise is broken.
Oh, and we only use half the house. Because the other half is basically my grandma's.
My grandma. The woman needs a hobby, job, and social life. Since my grandpa died (earlier this year), she has done nothing but bother us with shit. She doesn't have a job to be at all day anymore (the place she was using to do her job closed down) and so she has plenty of time to bother us into doing things. Leaves in the yard, mowing the yard, cleaning parts of the house, blah, blah blah.
Now, I understand that she's bored. But she refuses to find something to do, that doesn't infuriate us.
There are, of course, things that cause these neuroses. My uncle is fighting off some sort of cancer (which has a bunch of effects on us, but that's a different story.) My dad is "the baby," so he feels some obligation to take care of her, when he doesn't take care of himself enough.
I understand that grandpa is gone, so she feels something missing. I understand that she doesn't have a job to keep her busy anymore. I understand that she's got problems.
I'm just sick of her doing this stuff. It's ridiculous.
Okay. some of that off my chest.

It's funny how things might have worked out.
I recently cut off ties with someone that I've called my friend for a LONG time. The more I think about it though, the more I wonder how much of a friend she actually was. Back in high school, now that I'm looking back and because hindsight is prime, I realize now how much she manipulated me because I had a long-term crush on her. It actually makes me incredibly angry. There are other reasons for cutting off friendship, but I don't even want to get into it because it'll make me so angry I'll lose sleep again.
--
I was recently talking with somebody else, who I've become a lot closer with over the past 4 years, despite the fact that we haven't even lived in the same state most of the time. She's probably the closest friend I've got in the Chicago area.
She's married now, for about a month, and I tend to hear all the stories of arguments (unsurprisingly, related to the friend I used to have. This should tell you something of ex-friend's character.) The other night, we had carpooled to a game night to save gas, and on the ride home we were talking about the college years. We came to the conclusion that if she had gone to the same college I had gone to, as had been originally planned (but didn't happen because of life), we would either be in exactly the same friendly relationship as we have now, we would be dating or married, or we would be absolutely sick of each other.
It's funny how a close friend, somebody who actually knows you, can reach inside your head and pull out something you'd never dare to tell them out loud. I've had a terrible crush on her since senior year of high school.
Gah.

Worksearch goes on as usual. Finally got my new website updated, so if you want to take a look and give me advice, feel free. -- http://nathantuttledesign.com -- I've been working on the Marshall Jazz website for more than a month now, and I'm still not done. I need to train myself to be more confrontational in order to get what I need to finish the site. My contact at Marshall is my bro-in-law, so I have trouble getting the info i need. I want to finish this damn thing!
Buh.

aaaaaaaaaaand it's been a while again.
Where to start?
I'm graduated! I now have to get...a...job.
Damnit.
Oh well. Anyone out there with a job, or project that needs graphic work? Feel free to contact me here or at my new address, tuttle (dot) nate (at) gmail (dot) com
In other news: there is no other news. A website link will be coming soon! (Read: I registered the domain, but I need to tweak my site more.)

whoa, it's been a while.
where to start?
in the past 6 months, i've experienced romance, a good deal of heartbreak, a dash of depression, and a dollop of apathy.
i need to lose weight, get things done, and find someone to occupy my time. not necessarily in that order.

so, it's summer. done with classes (even summer classes...FINALLY), so i've got the rest of the summer to chill out, play warcraft, web design, and all the other fun stuff i don't normally get to do.
woo for me!
woo for me!
is it just me or has SG gotten boring lately? it's the same characters having the same arguments over and over again, with stupid people throwing out the same stupid trollbait.
the groups have been the best thing about it lately, and they've been a little inactive.
please start something new, people! find something new to talk about!
