Well, I'm still alive. Is anyone else? · 3:12pm Oct 15th, 2021
I'm wondering how many of my followers are still kickin' around this site.
I got the random urge to read through my old blogs here. Lemme tell you something:
Don't do that. The sheer amount of cringe I got going through those old posts is unbelievable. There was also nostalgia, but my god I was a whiny shit back in 2014.
Uh... Update time, I guess??
I'm working the best job I've ever had. Working counter sales at a bus depot. I work for a contractor, instead of any bus company. As such, I barely have any power or responsibility, when it comes to tickets.
It kinda sucks when I have no ability to help people who get dicked over by circumstances beyond their control, but it also has massive benefits. I'm literally allowed to play video games or even take naps, if there aren't any customers around; and there are barely ever customers around, because I work the graveyard shift. It doesn't pay super well, but it's also barely even a job, what with how little it demands of me.
Which is good, because my leg still hurts quite a lot, even four years after I broke it. Then again, the doctors said it would never stop giving me problems, so that's not a surprise.
I'm giving vague thoughts toward going to college for engineering or some kind of trade, but what with that whole, "Not making much money" situation, I must be cautious. I can't risk going into massive debt just for the possibility of getting a better paying job. The spot I'm in is fairly stable, but nothing lasts forever. Bus depot agents are apparently "essential" jobs, so I was one of the few who made money during the lockdowns.
My depression is better than it was a few years ago, but it can still be pretty crippling at times.
Still no qt girl/boyfriend, and thirty is starting to loom distressingly close. I'm honestly not too stressed about either, but sometimes those facts can bite pretty hard. 'Specially when they bite together.
I got a car. It's fucked now. Need a new one. Hopefully one that will last more than two and a half years after I get it.
But anyway, I'm sure nobody cares about any of that.
Another thing I got out of revisiting my old blogs was something I haven't had for fucking ages: The urge to write.
I'm thinking about retooling ITHOTM. Anybody interested in seeing that happen? Is anybody still even remotely interested in that story? I kinda doubt it at this point, to be honest. It hasn't been updated in...
Uh, let's see...
SEVEN YEARS?!?!?!
Jesus, me, what the fuck? We promised we wouldn't do that before we started writing!
Egh. Oh well. The milk was spilled so long ago that it's dried into a crispy wafer on the counter. Crying about it now would be beyond useless.
I would just finish the story as is, but that argument in the second chapter was way more harsh than I intended it to be. The drama made for an interesting story, but it kinda completely invalidated my original plans, and I've never been able to come up with a good way to get back to the "plot." (If you know what I mean.)
It's honestly less of a rewrite, and more of a reorganize. My intentions are to cut that fight back down to just some nagging, and go back to the original plan.
The original plan being: Apple siblings voyeur on each other for a while until they break down and fugg real hard.
I promise not to go dark again this time. Not that my promises are worth much by now.
I'm still around...welcome back!

Good to see you, man.
I never really left, but I've been lurking the whole time.
Still here
I don't remember a thing about ya or the story you wrote seven years ago but I'm following you and I still use this funky site. Guess that answers your question, welcome back.
I'm still around, though I don't think we ever interacted much.
On the whole college thing, your current job gives you plenty of time to study/read/do school work, and get paid for it. Not the worst situation to be in.
For what it's worth, I'm alive and kicking still.

Still alive, not kicking as hard as I used to.
