@taboo:
really? I remember you posting occasionally, mostly because my mom walked in one day and your avatar was on the screen and I'm sure she thought it was some kind of wannabe angsty teenager nazi thing, lol.
I'm sure I was posting on and off back then, but just missed the whole NPC thing completely. And lol at your mom's comment, it's not the first time I've had someone thinking I'm an angsty nazi because of it ( I used it on another forum I frequented at the time). I'm pretty sure it's the only avatar I've EVER had here, and I've been meaning to change it along with a slight name change. I just don't know what to change to exactly. Maybe Booker Dewitt since I'm currently on a Bioshock Infinite kick…
I do remember Ivotas leaving, though. Right after Zeph called him a "dancing troll with a pot o' terrible opinions hidden somewhere".
And to steer myself back on topic, another goal I realized is that I want to actually enjoy my time in college this year. I switched majors from chemistry to english, and while I'm aware the job market is quite different from the two, I think I would enjoy studying not so much the language, but the literature involved. Chemistry just didn't bode well, it was hardly rejuvenating and the careers I looked at didn't seem like something I wanted to do, even if the pay was supposedly great.
I took a creative writing workshop last year and it was fantastic. Absolutely loved it! And it also made me aware that writing is something I definitely wanted to pursue, despite my dad not approving it.
