ery. 
And if you aren't in the USA, well, how've things been in general? It's been a while since I've checked in with everybody, heh. 
So, let's chat!

How is Everyone? · 9:34pm Mar 11th, 2014
Hey, realized I haven't done one of these in a while, that I have a lot of new readers since the last one, and I thought it'd be nice. Might do these more often and label them "Screenside Chats" though... 
Anyway, how's everyone doing? And if this is your first time on one of these journals, tell me a little about yourself. I like knowing what kind of people read my work.

I've just published my first story ever here, and I'm nervous, terrified and hopeful.
Also, in general I'm passing through a horrible period, since my girlfriend left me, an online friend decided to cut all ties with my, and I...didn't, but came close to, failing Advanced Organic Chemistry. Meaning the most time I've ever spent studying on something is pretty much a waste.
Aside from that, everything's good. And for once, the leader of one of my countries (Italy) isn't a person I'm embarrassed to be associated to.
Oh, and I'm a student in Industrial Chemistry, also known as hell. Luckily, when I finish it it's almost guaranteed I'll have a job, which is good.
I am straight up hood, from the ghetto, Blood 4 Life, popping caps up in dis bitch and pimping it on the streets erranight.
I'm doing alright, having a bit of a blegh day.
Been trying to get in contact with my proofreader for a couple days so I can post stuff

I can sympathize with rough spots like that. Going through a similar one myself. 
Good luck with school, okay? 
Wow, sorry to hear.
1917751
Dude, you're about as ghetto as... well, okay, more ghetto than me. At least you've been in a few bar fights.
1917781
Ugh, the waiting game is always a pain, ain't it?
1917827
Glad to hear you're doing so well!
1917836
gimme your job. Please. 
Sounds like a pretty decent gig...

Really is, when you wanted it posted by Friday and got another person to go through after that.
I almost ran away instinctively when someone said Organic Chemistry.
There may have been some undignified shrieking.
I tried a new recipe. It was glorious. I'm also tutoring physics at my daughter's school. A bit of extra money there.
I should also get ready for my DnD game this weekend. Bluuuurrrr....so close to the end of the campaign and it just gets harder and harder to prep for good fights. Nothing much else.
I hope you are doing alright yourself.
1918021 while some kinda awesome things happen as a second shift janitor trust me it ain't for everyone. its a tough gig. not as tough as my last job as service and installation director for a two state residential water treatment company. well world wide company but our specific territory was two states.
most days the school is pretty damn busy but ducking for breaks to read on my tablet is indeed pretty damn cool.
I'm doing good. I live in the southeast, and all that cold weather from the north has finally left (hopefully for good), and today was a nice 70degrees Fahrenheit
So my day was good.
1918021 I was being sarcastic
Dark Souls 2 came out today
my copy is coming on the 19th
the 19th
The only thing I've eaten in 2 days was half a bagel
I can't sleep
I refuse to let myself see spoilers but it's so tempting
I'm losing hair
I haven't left my room in days
The wait is agonizing
I'm so hungry
I'm going a bit stir-crazy waiting for theatre season to start back up again, but other than that, I'm pretty fine.
I could be better. I need to make a choice between my future and my well being.
I have ADD and have a hard time concentrating in school. So I usually take medication to help me concentrate, but the meds I take have bad side affects. Consisting of increased stress, panic attacks, headaches, no appetite, and of course insomnia. But I already have insomnia, so it just made it worse.
So I decided to stop taking it, because I practically stopped eating and sleeping, I started freaking out about the tiniest things, and I was always getting headaches.
Now my grades are starting to go down and I'm struggling in math (which is the most important class) and most my other classes.
So now I need to choose either feeling like shit 24/7 and passing classes or feeling normal and probably end up failing classes.
Its fucking stressful to think about. And its also why I haven't been reading many of your recent stories. I promise I will soon.

And DnD sounds like fun! Always wanted to try that out. 
And... could be a lot better, honestly. 
May elaborate on a future journal.
Chemistry tends to get that reaction from people.
1918088
Glad you've got a good one, though!
Still, I'd take any job at this point.
1918089
ing vortex at this point. 
Yeah, I think we're all sick of the polar f
1918810
So... you love Dark Souls then?
1918827
You an actor, or just a lover of theatre?
1918875
Hope things clear up for you, chummer. It's not an easy thing to go through.
I can sympathize. I've been, and somewhat continue to be, in a similar spot.
1921215 Dark Souls is love Dark Souls is life
Demon's Souls was pretty good too
1921215 man dnd is awesome. ive been a tabletop roleplayer for 24 years.
if you try it go with pathfinder instead of dnd unless its dnd 3.5. 4th edition sucks hard.
1921215 Thanks. Its nice to know that I'm not the only one out there. Because where I live, people act like that shit isn't a big deal. Ofcourse, I do live in a shitty little town where everyone knows everyone else. Practically no one even believes in mental health, yadayadayada, and I'm leaving asap.
Anyways. Hope things work out for you too. One of the best solutions to stress is hanging out with friends or people you care about, Its supposed to release some kind of chemical in the brain. Just thought I'd throw that in cause its practically whats kept me sane.
