OK not sure how much you would like to know.
I work 2 days a week and 12hrs on those days, I care for my nephews son one day a week he is very cute only 18mths old.
I am trying to learn more about computers, I only came to use one 3 years ago and only email for the first 2 years.
I bartered with a client, she gave me free computer lessons and i gave her free counseling, oh yes, I am a counsellor.
Now this is interesting my sister hasn't spoken to me for 3 years since my mother died. I only say it is interesting because she thinks I am a bitch, as i told her that i didn't want to hear about her sex life with her new lover, oh by the way her lover is my X husband :eek: Do you think I an am being unreasonable :rolleyes:
enough for now.

Really! What are we all doing now? What's going on in our lives?
I'll take the bait here because I'm a shameless attention hog.
Right now, I am in a confusing, intense, frustrating, but ultimately satisfying relationship with a girl that I really love, and who loves me back, which i can never figure out why. I also am being promoted at my job, which is stressing me out, causing my hair to turn prematurely grey in spots, and is making me lose scary amounts of weight faster than I can put any on. Plus, another co-worker keeps hitting on me and it's getting awkward, like so bad, because I can't tell her I'm dating somebody who works at my store because then I can be transferred to a different store or even be fired, and I really wish she'd stop. I am going crazy just a bit right now.
Ah, and yet, I would not trade it for the world. I really wouldn't.
Everyone elses turn.... :D

Well really nothing new with me. Still working at a large pet store chain as a cashier. I really like it alot. In fact the whole reason I started working there was to make some money to pay off student loans and enroll in a school the teaches veterinary medicine. I still might do that but recently I was offered a promotion and asked to work full-time. The money isn't as great as when I was writing news, but the atmosphere is alot better. Truth be told I am missing writing alot more lately, but I think I'll stick to this plan and see what turns out. I just really love animals. I never knew how much so until I started working at the pet store.
As for me, I am where I have always been. I still work at Cinemark Theater. Right now I have been working there for a little over 4 years, and yes I do enjoy it. The surroundings of the movies, studio screenings monthly, free movies and more ....I love it. The pay at my job? Well, right now it's (for me) $9.75/hr. I get full time hours and then part time hours , back and forth. It's crazy. The pay is not bad....especially since I get paid biweekly.
I am also in the process, slowly, of creating a website. It'll take some time to do it...plenty of time. I'll be here no matter what though. Me leave here? Get real.
Right now in life, I we owe so much money in bills and such, it's hard to keep writing here. Even though we sort of get by, we need more money than you can shake a stick at. Likie I said it's just too difficult to explain it all.
That's my life at this present time.
We should all update, and tell one another how we are all progressing (or not progressing). That's just a thought.
The highlights of the Intermission Forum recently have been Django's "ask me anything" question thread, which is great fiction, and the "What is your favorite Ice Cream flavor?" thread.
Strictly non-fiction, pal! I can refer you to sources who wil verify the validity of all my claims.

Brian, you seem very protective of this thread. Do you like it?
Sure, it's a positive thread. It really wouldn't matter if the threads topic was, "What's your most exciting suppository story", I just hate seeing them ripped apart by political or Django invasions.
Ouch! Sounds like Days of our Lives....Or maybe Passions.
Yes it is a bit of a worry, :eek:

hmm, guess a bit is going on or should be going on in my life right now. i'm preparing to try and graduate from school by next may and trying to think of things to do after that. for a long time i'd been planning on applying for work outside the country, particularly in japan, either directly or [preferably] through some sort of program like JET. to that end i've been doing a lot of independent study coursework the last few years in the written language, culmonating right now with a very frustrating, though probably rewarding translation and illustration project. right now though the aplication deadline for JET is in december and i'm faced with a couple of other options, the main one being i might be able to find a grant next semester to continue working in central america, in a small country called 'belize', where i was doing a bit of coursework last may and is now the subject of a nother very frustrating, rewarding academic project of mine. so basically i'm trying to decide right now whether i want to apply for work in japan right away or if i should hold off another year and see if i can spend some time in the jungle first [both being pretty darn good choices, i dare say]. i'm kind of reluctant to let myself get really excited about either option right now because there's a strong possibility neither one might pan out and i'd just be stuck in new jersey for a while longer -- groan. well those are the main things going on with me at the moment anyhow. other stuff is just sort of nonexistent and boring as ever for me. eat, sleep, pretend to listen to people, same old crap.
Right now I am about to leave for a staff meeting at work. Whoooppie!

Well, it's over. Amy and I broke up just a few minutes ago. We're going to remain friends because we still care deeply about each other, but we couldn't keep it up any longer. She felt miserable because she couldn't keep lying to her parents about us, and I can't stand to see her in so much pain, so we both agreed to stop this before it worsens.
I feel empty and alone. I wonder what I'm going to do now.

yeah, but not for a while. this hurts too much right now.

I am sorry that you 2 have broken up, also maybe this is something you can also learn from when the hurt stops.
Just remember, a romance is a nice addition to a happy life, so that is something to work on.

Thanks. I will still feel like a part of me is gone for a while, though. we just talked and we're going to stay friends, with the possibility that we might get back together in August when she moves to Boston, but she wants me to date other people so I won't be sad, but I'm not sure I can do that. We will not be over each other for a long time. It's really hard not calling her sweetie or baby when we talk. We agreed to one last kiss when we see each other again, but after that no more. That's going to be a heartbreaker. But I really want her in my life even as just a close friend, so I am going to be okay....not great, but okay.

Sometimes timing is everything. I know your hurting, but try to look at it a little differently....maybe taking a break and possibly getting back together in August wouldn't be such a bad thing. It will give her some time to mature...in her parents eyes. If you two do get back together later, don't lie to her parents again, you'll just repeat this cycle. You could look at it as a fresh start in August.
As a daughter I know how tough and horrible it feels to lie to your parents. I did it a couple of times. The pressure and guilt I felt (I had a close relationship with my parents) wears on you. As a parent everything changes. I certainly wouldn't look favorably at the guy my daughter is sneeking around with....especially if he were ten years older. On the other hand if my daughter came up to me and told me everything...well not everything :modest:, but...a condensed version and to the point...I'd have to meet the young man and judge for myself how he treats her and if he acts respectably towards me the mom.
Good luck Monkeypunch.

Thank you. I really did want to sit down and talk to her mother but she said she wouldn't feel comfortable with that just yet. I have met her mom once, and she seemed really nice, and she was impressed by how polite I was, but then she also didn't know that I was dating her daughter behind her back.... I would hope that how much I cared for her daughter would make her see that I'm an honorable man, no matter how old I am. If we end up as "we" again in August, I want to do this the right way. Right now we've agreed to be "Just Friends," but very close "just friends." I am amazed that I am actually happy with this arrangement. But our break up was not a typical one, and our feelings are still there. It's still the same, but different, in that we aren't hurting each other anymore.

Its good to see that you are feeling better monkeypunch, I mean I don't even know you that well, and the way you had been posting lately really had me worried about you. I would say sorry about you're break up but I see that, maybe it isn't something to be sorry for, maybe it is the absolute best thing for you're relationship.
I had a friend who had been dating this girl for like 3 years and it seemed like they had a great thing going. But eventually some problems came up that they still aren't ready to talk about with us yet, and eventually they split up. I talked with him for a long time after that, I told him how sorry I was but he wouldn't have any of it and he told me that it wasn't a permanent break up, but that they just decided they needed to give each other space for a while. They remain close friends to this day and I have never seen them happier.
I have a feeling that something about this current time in their lives was just hurting the relationship so they are waiting it out. Sure enough, he told me that in a few months he's going to try again, and I have full confidence that things will be better for them. The point to all this: Give it time, you'll eventually come to that light at the end of the tunnel, albeit in a possibly much different way then you would have originally thought or wanted.

Thank you for the concern. For the first time in months, I feel good.
Today, Amy and I went to get coffee and talk at a local coffee house, and we came to this profound place. Breaking up was exactly the right thing to do, and we both see it that way. We never stopped to think it all out, never took the time to do this right, never really had an actual conversation before we went through with it. That is why it failed. We're going to do the just friends thing now and see where it leads us. It actually feels better than it ever did when we were a couple. She even told her mom about me, and she was like she doesn't mind her daughter having older friends, and I will probably end up having dinner at their house soon. And I got to meet her friends as well. What was meant to be a last hurrah has changed our whole dynamic and turned into a sort of spiritual reset button. It's actually fun again.

whats happening for me,
I have just finished school and am gearing up for 11 weeks of holidays!!! wich is great, but Marred by the fact that i have to get a part-time job, wich would be ok if i could find a job i liked (Video Store, Cinema), but no matter how many places i drop my (pretty impressive for my age) Resume off at, i cant seem to get anywhere.
Am also tring to get one of my short films off the ground, but what i need is TIME, and my own computer, Wich it looks pretty promising as my dads partner's (rich) perants just won 20 Grand at the races and have so much money they dont know what to do with it, (The Rich get richer, the poor get the picture)
I am also having a great time with i girl who i have strong feelings for and (i am pretty sure) has them for me.

Whats up huh?
Well last week i got OC'ed for My Defense and Arrest Tactics class, for those of you who don't know what OC is...it's like hyped up mace (in our case a police version). And we got it shot in our eyes and then had to take down a resistive subject...I have never been in such pain in all the times I have had to got to the Hospital or the ER. Sweet mother of Chicken Nuggets i couldn't see for like 2 1/2 hours afterward.
This weekend I visited my buddy Mikes new apartment...met alot of cool cats and such. Met a few perspectives for my love life... then i wandered next door where they were having a mini-rave for some guys birthday. I didn't know a person there and they let me in and gave me a GALLON MILK JUG FILLED WITH MICKEY'S FINE MALT LIQUOR... now I don't wish to sound childish here but I WAS IN HEAVEN ALL NIGHT. I haven't gotten out in a while and I feel rejuvinated and just all tingley now. But i still think my lungs are collapsing... Maybe I should stop smoking, I'm sure my asthma would agree with that. ;)

Quite a bit, actually. I'm 28, she's 18. This all sounds wicked bad, I know, but it's like we just CONNECTED in a way neither of us ever expected. There is NO way to explain why or how this happened, it just did. Like I said, we've called it off for now, but we remain close, with the possibility of getting back together some time in the future.

I'm currently sitting at work, not really supposed to be on the internet, but I don't care. I'm bored and highly pissed off right now. I think today may be my last day here. I dunno. I may wait until Friday, get my paycheck and leave. I think that may be what I need to do, but tomorrow I will go on my day off and get another job. I don't even care what it is at this point. I just need out of here. So that's what I'm doing. I'm plotting my leave from this place of employment.

I really feel good today. I talked to one of my co-workers who has had a hard life and is still pretty upbeat about it, so I figure i don't have anything to really bitch about, plus I watched a ton of Buffy shows, so bonus.

I'm sitting here at work(i know it seems to be the only place i reply to this thread) and thinking about the one I love. I'm also fuming over the fact that the owners just F**ked me over on the commission I just made on the piano I just sold. I was supposed to get over $1000 but will be getting a hell of a lot less. This is just making my decision to leave even more easier. I don't see me here after Christmas. I may not even make it until then.
