[QUOTE]Originally posted by Malnurtured Snay: [QB] I can't believe this thread is this old. I forgot to resurrect it last year -- actually, that's not true. I wasn't in a good place. Didn't feel good about myself or where I was in life: delivering pizzas, with a degree, renting a big cheap apartment in the bum fuck of nowhere. Didn't feel like reminding myself of what I considered to be my own failures. So, today: I'm the big three-oh. 30. Big changes in my life since March, when I finally started a career. I moved: Hogwarts came down. Most of my Legos are packed up in my parents' basement. My handguns are stored at my uncle's place on the eastern shore. I'm contemplating the purchase of a motorcycle this fall. I live in a considerably smaller (and more expensive) apartment off of Connecticut Avenue in Northwest DC: literally, just off the National Zoo. A block from a Metro station (and two from another), through which I have access to all of this city's -- and the surrounding cities' -- attractions and offerings. I don't own a car. (Well, technically, I still do, but not really). In terms of career, I work a full-time office job, and slave part-time at a downtown bookstore (where I get 33% off! Yay!). Monday, I have an interview for a middle-management position opening up at the day-job. I doubt I'll get it: I'm one of five interviewing, and the others have more experience than I do. Still, there are going to be more of these positions opening up in late September/early October, so that's where I have my eyes. I have an HD TV, but not a Blu Ray DVD player. It's 22", which is fine for my apartment. I actually have plants in this apartment: a cactus-ish plant, and a spider plant. Both of my cats are still around, and getting up in years: I adopted them in the fall of 1999. Tippy was two months old, Guy was two years old. I still play AstroEmpires, a MMOG I began in May 2007, although I would no longer call myself "addicted." I have seventeen bases (one of them new), an income of about 6000 credits per hour, and sixteen bases capable of producing Titan-Class ships, with eight capable of Leviathans, and New Annapolis capable of building Death Stars, the largest class ship possible (at 500k, and even on my highest production base, that's still 900 hours to build). I've been neglecting my blog, but I want to put more effort into it. DC is a very wired city, and blogging can be a great social networking tool, as I learned in Baltimore. Wonder where I'll be August 9th, 2009. Can't wait to find out! [/QB][/QUOTE]
