Current Events > I'm on business travel for the first time

(+) Yeah! (+)

I think I go out at least once every two weeks or so. That's fine for me atm. Once I move out, I'm gonna try to get people to come over to my place for get-togethers and maybe make some new friends.

I'm kinda conflicted because if I move in with roommates, I'll probably make new friends easily, but I really would prefer to live alone. I guess I'll just wait till that lawyer money starts rolling in at the end of the year to see if I can even afford to live alone lol.
---

There's a very short list of people I tolerate enough to love with, so it's just easier for me to live alone.

Once I get back to work, my goal is to look into buying a house instead of renting an apartment again.
---

This'll be my last year with roommates if all goes right.

Im home from the ATL meet up as well. Some nice people they've got down south. Avi would have been swimming in the black mecca
---

Don and I always say it's on our list of trips we'll do together
---

But wait, all that and you're only planning on staying at the new place for a year? Should have just stayed at the Avalon.
---

I wanted to save a bit more. Also Avalon was too loud. this neighborhood is super quiet.

It's one year lease for now. I'll have the option to stay if the others do. I'm not looking for roommates if they decide to leave at the end of year. So I'll either move in alone or stay here again. I'll have to see what happens. Main concern which is financials should be ok. My car note should be paid off so I could throw that extra per month at a 1 bedroom. I'd have to hope I get someone quiet above me or move to a place with a close elevator to the top floor. Moving that furniture was booty.

Sup guys
---

FYI guys in case you didn't already see, Blops 3 is free on PSN now

I'm probs gonna play and kill n00bs while I'm at home unemployed
---

Remember our call of duty times together? Maybe we can boot it up sometime
---

God I used to play that game so much with my roommate.
---

Let's do it, guys
---

Season finale of Legion legggggooooo
---

Show continues to outdo itself tbh. Loved the intro. Tell me when you watch it Near
---

Damn, so youll never be back to fort mill? Thought I was gonna finally attend a meetup
---

Nope, I no longer work for the company lol. I didn't hate the area though, but yeah probably not gonna be back.
---

I finally returned the copy of Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite I got from work yesterday and got $20 store credit at Best Buy. This morning I got an email from the company saying it was returned and asking if I want them to try shipping it to me again.

Yeah I'm totally about to have them send me another one.

They couldn't send me another one so they sent me more points to redeem, which I did for a $40 Amazon code. This is pretty awesome.

Working the system like a boss
---

That topic is sooooo sad
---

Do you miss me explaining all the drama to you
---

That's a perfect example of what's wrong with the current CElite
---

If there was a book on CE, id read it
---

Yoo, legion was fucking amazing. I'm so happy with the direction they're going. The opening scene of the episode had to be one of my favorite fucking things in the series.

I didn't even know that Sanctuary place was a thing. Are they just all in a tizzy because of e-relationships? Because damn, that's fucking sad.

It's too hard for me to pick between this scene and the silent movie scene from the first season. Just in general, any of the various musical or dance sequences in the show have been amazing - in addition to those two I already mentioned, Cary dancing in the lab while Kerry fights the soldiers, Lenny dancing in the hospital fantasy, and the dance-off between David, Oliver and Lenny in the first episode of this season.

Goddamn, I can't believe I forgot about that. Straight out of german expressionist film.

Cary dancing in the lab while Kerry fights the soldiers,

Also one of my favorites, as well as those you mentioned. The Loudermilks have been one of the most reliably good characters in the show. And I say good as in "moral". My favorite has to be Farouk though. My man stole the show this season.

There were two separate conflicts going on at the same time. The relationship stuff was on its own agenda.

The sanctuary was compromised by hoth or someone aiding him. There was personal information being leaked and the purge of the board happened to weed them out. The mole was so ingrained in it that even the first purge didn't get them out. So alot of the drama leaked to regular CE since most people were kicked and weren't even aware as to why.

The whole joestarr and all her suitors was a build up of half a years worth of emotions. Starting when she joined a CE discord. Some things didn't work out between her and the suitors and now she's with a user that other cegals don't like because of how he treated them in the past and she decided to stay with him anyway despite the warnings.

You know the general populous of CE likes to exacerbate things like this so many stirred the pot to make it over blown and have as much said from everyone involved as possible. It's been a hell of week for this board

There are a lot more intricate details to these things that would take me a whole day to write about
---

Check out the CElite scholar over here
---

I like observation.

I think it's why I ended up with a sociology degree. Watching how people act is just so interesting to me. I swear I could write a thesis on the interpersonal relationships of an online forum.
---

I like math, that's why I'm writing a math textbook about CE
---

It better include the ButtSlamBoyz stats

Mettles and Mac came to the gay bar last night and met my on again off again sex friend
---

Dude look liked he had a rock solid upper body
---

I feel sore like I got a good workout from head to toe. No one else I've been with is that vigorous.
---

I started playing blops 3 btw
---

Did the online work? I just booted it up and it says the server is unavailable.
---

Yea, I was playing yesterday evening. Maybe it goes down for maintenance.

A friend of mine flies business class international 40-50 flights a year, staying in 5 star hotels every time. He actually hates it now.

What a fucking 1%er problem to have, lmao.

lol
---

The dude who got all mad at me for kicking him out immediately after sex texted me again today. These dudes just can't quit me!
---

pls respond
---

Guys I gots me a new job that I'm pretty happy about

Gonna be a pretty sizable step up in salary
---

Nice. What's your job title now?
---

Patient Access Associate, which is basically like an assistant manager I think. Still in healthcare consulting. It's what I was unofficially doing at my previous job, but now with fair compensation. I'll have the Access Specialists reporting to me, I get to travel and attend conferences or whatever a few times a year and stuff. I don't have to report to a client anymore since the services are all internal. The only thing that blows is I may sometimes have to work late since the program hours are until 8PM. And I'm salaried instead of hourly now so no more overtime.
---

Congrats!!! Now play blops 3 with me
---

Text me when you play. I'll warm up a bit while I'm home doing nothing.

I've been working through my backlog while I've been off. Finished Okami, which was OK, great art style though, and Ratchet & Clank which was pretty fun.
---

Blops 3 is weird, I forgot this was the sci-fi one.
---

Lol I played that game so much when it came out.

The fire guy was cool
---

Yea, they went a bit out of control with the whole cosmetic part. Definitely faster paced than WWII. I have to get used to it
---

The added mobility is interesting but a bit overwhelming. I'm just standing there and everyone else is flying around and running off walls and shit
