[QUOTE]Originally posted by Sol System: [QB] I can no longer pretend to understand what's going on around here these days, so I'm just going to ramble on about myself for awhile, and hopefully illicit some helpful advice from the rest of you. 1.) I am in severe need of a college education. As some of you may know, I sort of haven't been going for the past year. I'd call it a sabbatical or year off to find myself if I had given it that much thought, but in truth I was simply lazy and never finished up my Associate's Degree. This is a Bad Thing for many reasons, not the least of which is I'm stuck here, at home, doing home-ish and farmish things and not really enjoying myself very much at all. This isn't new, and I've probably bored you all with this information many times, whining about an existentialist crisis and misquoting Sartre. However, ICQ is broken. It hates me. (This is going to be item number three, so scroll down if you'd like to read more about ICQ, though I can't imagine why you'd want to. So anyway, college. Yeah, so I need, like, four credits to get my meaningless degree. I call it meaningless because it's only real purpose is to allow me to transfer to some larger, better school. Anyway, I tried to register for the upcoming quarter this past weekend. (Intro to Cultural Anthropology and History of Jazz, if you're curious. Social Science and Humanities.) For some crazy reason YVCC has decided that after being gone for a year I'm not really a student anymore. So I had to reapply. At least, I assumed I had to reapply, and did so. We'll see. Nothing more I can do about that but wait. 2.) All my friends, such as they are, are finding niches and reproducing and loving and working. I do not believe that one should have a niche at 20, or 21, or even, maybe, 26. 3.) ICQ is one mean-ass mofo. I mean, honestly, what is a "Runtime error?" Other than a proverbial boot to the head, that is. This is not a rhetorical question. 4.) On that note, I seriously need a new hard drive. 5.) As a favor for a former professor, I promised to have a handful of short stories available for possible publication in my once and future school's literay journal. Writing, unfortunately, is a bitch. Here are four stories: Story A: A fake article about a group of inner city kids who have taken up piracy as a hobby. Story B: A story about a rich man on Mars who is in the business of suicide by dimensional teleportation. Story C: A story about a company called GlobalPop, which is engaged in the recreation of famous entertainers of the past. Story D: A story about a young man who has a crush on a girl at a movie theater. There was really no point in mentioning any of that, but I was not joking when I made up that thread title.
