Slaughtermatic's visitation thread

HEY GUYS

I've been thinking about you guys a lot lately. A few of you in particular, I've missed quite a bit. It's been almost a year since I left, I think? Wow. SO MUCH HAS HAPPENED IN THAT TIME NOW THAT I THINK ABOUT IT I SORT OF CAN'T EVEN BEGIN TO EVEN.

But yes. Anyway. I've been thinking about you guys and wondering how everyone is doing so I've decided to visit. I'll be hanging out for a week and then heading out again.

If any of you newbs don't know me, I WAS A KHV LEGEND ONCE. Not really, I was just some guy that some people talked to sometimes.

ANYWHOOZLES, HOW ARE YOU GUYS WHAT IS NEW IN YOUR LIVES HOW IS EVERYTHING WHAT HAVE I MISSED. Here's a summary of my life post-khv:

Spoiler

Okay, where the Hell do I even begin. Okay. So I left I think toward the end of summer, my last summer before transferring to UCSD. My first quarter there, was not amazing. My roommate was beyond awful, and even though I was making a lot of friends, I couldn't really feel like I ever belonged anywhere. I spent most of that quarter migrating between different groups of friends and trying to find where I belonged, but I didn't really find a good group until the very end of that quarter. But a few good things did happen. I joined my school's improv team, and as it turns out, I'm actually pretty good at improv. I had to spend a lot of time practicing, but I've now been in two improv shows in front of a ton of people and can't wait to be in more! I also finally got to start realizing my love of theater, I was in a play, and started writing one. I also joined a lot of really cool campus orgs and such.

My second quarter was when things started to get really awesome. I moved out of my apartment and into a way better one with some awesome friends I made. I made new friends, great friends, best friends. I was in 24 hour play fest again ( and it was recorded!) and I loved it. I also wrote a play that one of the theatre companies put on. Seeing it was amazing, it felt so unreal. I'd really love opinions on either play :D
But yeah, my second quarter was awesome. I got a lot closer to the people on the improv team, my apartment, my major, and other people I'd met by various other means. I went to LA quite a bit that quarter, for concerts and for an improv festival which was SO AWESOME GAH.

Possibly most awesome of all is that I scored a summer internship as a software development engineer at Amazon. This summer I'll be moving to Seattle and enjoying being payed $6000 a month, so that's going to be pretty awesome (IF ANY OF YOU HAPPEN TO BE IN THE SEATTLE AREA YOU SHOULD VISIT ME). It was kind of funny, they changed their minds and said I was going to work in Toronto, so I was making plans to meet What?, but then they changed their minds again, so that's sadly not a thing. But I'm going to meet him someday, dammit.

Anyway, now I'm in the last quarter of my first year and everything's going great. I'm loving the crap out of college, it's SO GREAT to be away from home, and I'm doing all sorts of awesome stuff.

Other general things include getting back into Yu-Gi-Oh, discovering an intense love of sushi, getting into electroswing music, and finding that alcohol can actually be kind of awesome.

Oh, and boys. KHV, boys are awful. I advise you to not ever boys. If you ever thinking about boys, just refuse to boys. Do not ever boys. Seriously, I could write an entire essay about all my guy problems. Boys are terrible creatures.

But then girls kind of suck just as bad. I asked out a girl for the first time in my life last quarter and she made up a fake boyfriend SO THAT WAS FUN. But we're still friends so it's aight.

 

I'll just copy and paste my recap from Advent's thread. I'm Keyblade Spirit, by the way.

Remember that girl I liked? Turns out she's bi and just leans toward men who aren't me. Later, I got sperm donor zoned by her, moved on, then fell for another girl. Six months later I confessed and it turns out that she's gay. Got sad for a few days, then very happy because that means I have a female friend who can appreciate my love of yuri. I plan on trying to set her up with the aforementioned bisexual friend. In other relationship news, I suspect that I have fallen into a mutual crush with a girl who's just as shy as I am, if not more so. This kind of sucks because the semester is almost over and we've said less than seven sentences to each other.

In not relationship related news, I had a job from September through late December last year. I had to quit because I only took it to raise money for school and I don't see any way to work night shift when I have a class as 2:00 PM. Because I made less than $6,000 from that job last year, I somehow have the biggest tax return of my whole family. I'm getting something like $745 back, part of which will go toward finally getting a PS3 and the rest of which will be my con-fund for Matsuricon this August. Thanks to rushed Sunday evening/Monday morning papers, I'm currently at the top of my class in the English class that I used my aforementioned job to pay for. As a personal project, I also studied Brony culture for a few months. That led to watching their beloved show for science, and then the science took over.

And that's that. I think I've covered everything.

Oh! I've also been playing Final Fantasy XII. It's fun.

Here's a gif with an unexpected ending.

If you did, it wasn't me. We were on good terms. c:

 

Yes, one of these days that will be a thing that happens. I just hope it happens before I'm 30.
