Oops.
16 years ago
First off, I'm gonna say that oops... Time flies when you're busy with life. Seeing that I want to prove that I'm not dead, here's an update of what I can remember happening since I last posted a journal here.
I decided against writing a story and posting it here. Why? As much fun as it is to RP, both on forums and via IM, writing a story solo just bores me. You may see short stories from me at random, but I make no promises. I rather just not post material I'm not happy with, but feel compelled to continue a project I have little interest in.
I recently began playing SWAT 4, and while I enjoy the game and all, it does have it's moments for me... For those of you that don't know, SWAT 4 is a FPS where you take control of a squad of SWAT officers, and bring justice to criminals, with an emphasis on realism. In short, you can't run and gun through the levels, and you die VERY quickly. Also, you can't use deadly weapons without at least shouting "Stop! Police!" because if you don't, your score gets penalized. Oh yes, this game KEEPS SCORE of how you do. One time, I was clearing out the last room, (after throwing in teargas, mind you) and I spotted a suspect, coughing while holding his gun pointed at the ground. Pulling out my taser, I was horrified to watch him fire the gun and kill a hostage, automatically making me fail! Needless to say, i was quite ticked off at that, and refused to play the game for three days. However, I've since gotten past that blasted level and am happily making progress again.
I'm still without a job, and when I got called into an interview with Best Buy, they mentioned that they were looking to fill quite a number of positions. What irks me is that I never got a call back to schedule a second interview (Best Buy does 2). This has put me in a rather... somber mood, since I felt like the interview went well, yet they didn't like me enough to hire me.
I'll try to keep my head up until I get a job, despite having no money and stopping college as a result of lack of funds. Things can only get better from here on out, or so I'd like to think...
