A minor miracle has happened:
Over the past five days, I have played almost no video games at all. I seem to have entirely replaced the gaming with internet stuff and occasional writing. That is a very productive development. I deserve a cookie.

I got a job as a lighting technician with Ringling Brothers this past summer. Flew out to Georgia, settled into my little trailer, spent about a week working and drinking moonshine in the parking lot of the arena with trapeze artists.
I felt like I was living in a gypsy camp.
I was really loving the job (what stagehand doesn't want to go on tour?), but the combination of crappy pay/crappy living conditions/bizarre lifestyle/general creepiness got to me, I packed a bag, caught a cab to the airport, and went home in the middle of the night without telling anyone.
maybe not the nicest way to quit a job
Of course now I wish i'd stayed longer, it would have been great work experience (and they were going to train me to be assistant to the snake lady if I did, which could have been cool.).
yep, just your standard, run of the mill running away fom the circus story
so now i'm intrigued.
tell me yours!
I agree, fuck high school. What disappoints me is my guidance counselor and the VP both know of my deteriorating (if we may call it so) mental health because of the idiotic immaturity of those people and the unhealthy environment the school itself is, and won't do much. What they failed to tell me (until it was too late of course) is that at the end of this semester, in two days (excluding exams), I'll be .25 of a credit short for graduating early.
I cannot wait to get out, because I know how much happier I will be (and none of this will matter afterwards
