hope the time that you do have to yourself, for now jim, gives you enough space to relax and re-energize. i remember being in chat and hearing the horror stories. wishing you the best of luck for a quick turnaround once you begin job searching again.

^^ This /me hugs the Jim

... I got bunny slippers for my birthday ... BUNNY slippers, white, fluffy, BUNNY slippers

When I opened the parcel and saw them I was excited/happy and went all giggly!~

Yay bunny slippers

GDC was...I think I learned less than I normally do, but it was perhaps more emotional than it normally was. Jennifer Allaway's talk brought me to tears. There was the first GDC wedding, between some acquaintances of mine. And perhaps most exciting to me:

I got filmed by the girl scouts for their game development badge. (Part of the badge is that they're supposed to talk to a professional, but in remote locations they play a video instead).

Thanks. I've moved back to Massachusetts, and we'll see where things go from here.

Grefter · « **Reply #105 on:** March 25, 2014, 11:06:03 AM »

Presumably back to Massachusetts. Good luck dude. You deserve to do well man.

Also there are worse things to have happen at an industry event than emotional highs Met, so it sounds like you still had fun even if it was less educational. As awesome as learning things is it sounds like you had a good time.also pics if you got dressed up for that video[/url]

Is that... did Grefter in so many words just tell MC "Tits or gtfo?"

Look Zenny I am not saying that you aren't an arsehole, but I am saying I would piss on you if you were on fire.

Let me know if you ever want to pretend t be on fire.

superaielman · « **Reply #108 on:** March 26, 2014, 01:32:03 AM »

The burning sensation never goes away with Zenny, so you're in luck!

Cotigo · « **Reply #109 on:** March 26, 2014, 01:48:20 AM »

Sometimes it isn't burning but intense pain and then blood.

Grefter · « **Reply #110 on:** March 26, 2014, 04:27:38 AM »

I would still piss on you if you were in intense pain and bleeding.

Got my first publication accepted, it's coming in on April Fool's Day. Take that, science!

NotMiki · « **Reply #114 on:** March 28, 2014, 05:32:53 AM »

The world of little-read, highly specialized academia will never be the same???

Grefter · « **Reply #115 on:** March 28, 2014, 05:45:00 AM »

Any chance for a link to article or something for whatever journal it is in at least?

Would be interested to read for twofold reasons.

Clear Tranquil · « **Reply #116 on:** March 31, 2014, 08:58:42 AM »

I got "X Non-sexual." on the Kinsey test. I am confused now!~

Also 13 on the psychopath test o-o

Grefter · « **Reply #117 on:** March 31, 2014, 09:24:57 AM »

Welcome to the fold.

Clear Tranquil · « **Reply #118 on:** March 31, 2014, 08:51:48 PM »

Thank you

Well I answered "I am exceptional" for the psychopath thing even if I don't always think/really think it but I think we are all exceptional and should believe that/in ourselves more often~

I was also honest about white lies/truth fudging >_>

Work is still stressful but getting better.

They're hiring a minion for me. I'm getting some sort of title promotion to make me sound more official than "Marketing Associate" since I, you know, manage millions of dollars on a monthly basis. They also gave me a 20% raise, so that's nice.

I'm going to Berlin for work at the end of the month, and then I'm taking an extra week and a half to spend some time on vacation. Currently plan to spend some time in Berlin then hit Amsterdam, Paris, London and Edinburgh. Pretty busy schedule, no more than 1-2 days per city, but I'm looking forward to it. Hopefully I actually get to vacation and don't have to keep handling work fires the way I did at DLCon last year.

So... despite Andrew having been laid off, things are looking okay for us.

This Sunday, we'll have fabulous music from the fantastic Arcade Fire in São Paulo. I'm hopping on the plane tonight. Welp.

It took me all of 27 years to find a good hairstyle. It's not even anything fancy.

So. Fuck. I took two places a few months ago for a Rodrigo y Gabriela concert in Paris in May because I figured out I'd have a girlfriend by then. It is April and I do not.
What the hell!? What the hell. UNFAIR.

Oh man yes. Let's go.

Grefter · « **Reply #124 on:** April 05, 2014, 04:25:25 PM »

You guys ... you go have fun together.
