I just got all my gear together and drove down to training to find it was cancelled. Which has pissed me off.

But then reading LOKI's post above puts that in perspective. Hope you manage to find a quick solution Loki. I'm sure your friends will rally round and help out.

Thanks everyone.

I have to say, I'm starting to find things very amusing. So far today, I've found out I'm to be evicted through no fault of my own, just heard that my Dad is going to need total shoulder reconstruction from his truck accident, and I just stood on bird brains...yep, the cats thought they would be helpful and catch a bird, bring it inside, tear it apart and leave it in the hallway. To be fair, the blood and guts do make a nice post-modern pattern on the floor.

I'm going to go and curl up on the couch (after washing my feet), lock the door and beat the shit out of zombies with an iron pipe and baseball bat for a bit. That usually helps

I'm employing my practical personality as much as possible and have already found somewhere to store my stuff, a friend with a ute willing to move said stuff and a place to house my turtles. I've found a cattery I can afford for the cats but I can't think about that too much because I know what my cats are like and they are not going to do well there (I went on a holiday for a week once and had to come back early because Whiskeyjack had fretted so much a vet thought he was going to die if he didn't stop worrying - I mean, I know I'm awesome but seriously cat!) I'm going to lodge forms first thing tomorrow morning at the Department of Housing and then all I need to do is find some where to live for the next *unknown amount* weeks/months until a) I suddenly get well enough to work, get work, and can aford my own place or ii) it's January.

So far this year sucks. Mass Effect 3 better be as good as I hope in order to make up for all of this

Oh, and I hate you too, Universe.

It's really not a good year for you, is it, Loki? I'd get you a place if I wasn't on the other side of the planet.
I'm sure you'll make through, as it's what we humans do, but still - hang in there, and good luck!

PS. The Garrus avatar scarily fits the situation - ya big woobie! Hugs for you.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

At least you have some options now, Loki. Not as far away as Gothos, though, so if you need anything, you know (roughly) where I am.

Hope things get better for you, Loki!

Now, I need to rant for a bit, please go on and ignore me..
I'm starting to hate our history of art teacher. What a stubborn.. Argh. When students tell you square in your face that the subject is HISTORY of art and that they don't know shit about any major epoch of art and ask you to at least spend a couple of lessons on this because you have no idea what to do with these lessons anyway, any sane person would listen, right? But nooo, why should he? Spending another semestre on some useless modern art lectures where nobody gets the historical references and you don't bother to explain is waaay better. We're, like, three students in the whole course who actually know a renaissance painting from a baroque painting and he's serious about doing modern art for the SECOND time now.
And the idiots named art students who don't know the history of what they're doing - well, trying to do - and are happy splashing paint on canvas and imagining themselves to be revolutionary are close to being worse.. Argh.

My mood is messed because I just realised it was Easter this weekend which means everyone will already have plans and I just found out that the partner is working Friday and Monday.....which would usually mean 'Yea, time to geek out, play video games in my pj's, eat junk food I may or may not have dropped on the floor and watch girlie movies (which to me means watching Aliens...c'mon, the sexual tension between Ripley and Hicks is massive!).' But, despite not celebrating Easter, I still feel I should spend it with someone....

I'll probably be online. >.<

You can be my date for Easter! We can start off with dinner in the Watching Trickster Pub, before heading to the A/W/FA Video thread for a movie before returning to the WT for some drinks. It'll be a date made in Forum.

My girlfriend has something important to tell me. But she's confirmed that she doesn't want to break up or take it slower. She also said it is the "bad serious" kind of talk.

My imagination is a-bubbling with all manner of unpleasantness.

SHE WAS ONCE A MAN

Hello, soldiers, look at your mage, now back to me, now back at your mage, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped being an unascended mortal and switched to Sole Spice, he could smell like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re in a warren with the High Mage your cadre mage could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an acorn with two gates to that realm you love. Look again, the acorn is now otataral. Anything is possible when your mage smells like Sole Spice and not a Bole brother. I’m on a quorl.

For your information I can pretend date anyone I want on these here forums. It's may right as a modern day woman. It's also my right as a modern day woman to claim that only I can do this and you can't. I'm not sure how it works but I'm told these kinds of double-standards are a perk of having breasts.

Messing with my groove? Bullshit negreps, that's what! And that I can't bring myself down to that level and retaliate. Boo.

Also: reading the reddit thread linked early in the flirting thread and it makes me recall a few instances of when I've missed obvious hints. Especially one. She's got some new guy now, and let me ask you - is it bad to wish bad things happen to someone?
