The Crow's Nest

[Crowe]

Just a thread for idle conversation. Here's to hopefully meeting some new faces and making some new friends! I should note that anyone is welcomed to talk in here (or vent, if needed) about anything at any time so long as it doesn't break the website's rules.

So please, come on in and join me for some conversation!

We can start with this: How are all of you doing today and what are you doing (if anything) to celebrate Halloween?

[Nallore]

*Waves @Crowe* My day has been alright just worked really nothing to interesting, and i'll be working Halloween sadly so no real plans there, what about you?

@Nallore

Hello there, Nallore! Welcome to the Crow's Nest!

My day has been rather non-existent and tiresome due to pesky rain. I spent most of my day (and evening) sleeping away, so now I'm working on math homework that isn't even due until December (I just want to get it out of the way)! As for Halloween, I'm not sure what I'll be doing just yet, but I imagine that it sadly, won't be very exciting this year.

[Nallore]

@Crowe Thanks for the welcome. :)

Man I totally wish I could sleep in all day that would be awesome. Math really do hate math lol, I could never really understand it beyond the simple stuff. :P

@Nallore

Not a problem!

And I totally understand. I entered college as a Chemistry major, but my math skills are absolutely abysmal and I miiiight have scored too low on the entrance exam. I'm currently taking more classes involving writing and history where my talents have really shined. Due to this, I'll be switching into the History major after a meeting that I have tomorrow.

Oddly enough, I can understand complex Physics, but I fall flat on my face with basic math. I still can't subtract fractions to this day!

If it's not too personal to ask, I'm wondering what your occupation is and/or where you work?

[Nallore]

@Crowe
I always got really low grades for anything with science or math, pretty much anything with numbers i'm pretty much screwed but writing, history and stuff like that I was really good with back in high school and college.

And it's not a personal question at all, I currently work at McDonalds lol, but my dream job but it pays the bills. Probably the only good perks are the free meals and drinks while on shift. :)

@Crowe

Today is hot, maybe 30 degrees plus, and I'll be at work on Halloween. Yeah... that's scary in itself. xD

@Nallore

That sounds about right for me as well. I was actually extremely talented at Chemistry while in high school, but I keep falling on my face while here in college. My irrational fear of mixing chemicals doesn't really help much either. At the very least, it seems like I've decided (somewhat) on where I want to go.

And oh, I see! As long as it makes ends meet, then I understand completely. I imagine that working in the food industry isn't necessarily fun though. I worked in retail as a cashier over the summer and that could be tough at times, but hey, at least it does pay the bills!

@NuttsnBolts

Hey there, NuttnsBolts! Welcome to the Crow's Nest!

I was confused, but then I realized that you were using the Celsius scale. A quick Google search tells me that it is hot there. Sorry to hear about that AND working on Halloween! I imagine it's much better than working on Black Friday (assuming that your country partakes in that as well or has an equivalent) though!

Eh, Black Friday isn't much of a thing here at all (that being Australia). Biggest weekend for my place is Easter. The 4 day weekend is the biggest time for home renovations. Anzac day is also around that time and if it works out right there can be an entire week off for some people. O_o

[Nallore]

@Crowe So what do you like to do for fun? :)

@NuttsnBolts

I'm assuming that you work in a hardware store of some sort? Also, if you don't mind me asking, what is Anzac Day? I've never heard of that before now.

@Crowe So what do you like to do for fun? :)

@Nallore

Like I imagine most others on this websites like to do, I love to create stories and write them out! My particular interests lie within genres such as historical fiction, mystery, horror, dystopian, and sometimes science fiction. Aside from writing, I love to read, sleep, and have deep, long-winded discussions. I also have a crippling board game addiction and am very interested in the paranormal (including religions which I am currently taking a class on). I am also obsessed with crime which has led me to YouTube channels such as Rob Dyke, Cayleigh Elise, Vintage Files, Criminally Listed, NightMind, and so on. I also spend a majority of my time playing Pokemon Go and scrolling through Reddit!

What about yourself?

Good evening @crowe, @Nallore, I hope it's alright for me to hop into this conversation.

@Crowe

It's a day to remember the solders of Australia and New Zealand who died during all the wars. It began with the first world war and grew from there.

Hey there, Cao! You're absolutely welcomed to join the conversation and I would like to welcome you to the Crow's Nest! How are you today? What is the weather like where you are and what are you currently up to?

@NuttsnBolts

Ah, I see! That sounds like my country's Memorial Day. It began during the World War, but later expanded to remember Americans who were killed during from all of our conflicts.

@Crowe

Sorry for the late reply just got done doing some chores and then watching The Walking Dead. :)

Aside from RPing on here I like to game a lot I own an Xbox One, and play Halo 5, State of Decay, Telltale's The Walking Dead games, those are the ones I can remember off the top of my head. I usually also watch random videos on youtube or gaming walkthroughs of games, and I also love listening to a lot of music as well.

@Nallore

No worries. I ran off myself to have some dinner, finish my math homework, and help a friend with a paper. Welcome back!

I probably could have guessed that you were a gamer or at least a fan of Halo based on your avatar/signature set. I tend to play quite a lot of video games myself from Mario Kart, Fire Emblem, Pokemon, Borderlands, The Elder Scrolls, and so on. I also own most of the TellTale games myself from Back To The Future to Jurassic Park, The Walking Dead, The Wolf Among Us, Tales From The Borderlands, and so on.

If you don't mind me asking, what kind of music do you listen to?

[Nallore]

@Crowe Nice I do like Telltale's games. :)

I usually listen to rock music, my favorite bands are Amaranthe, Breaking Benjamin, Bush, Daughtry, DeFault, Foo Fighters, The Goo Goo Dolls, Halestorm, The Letter Black, Life House, Linkin Park, The Pretty Reckless, The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, Rise Against, Shinedown, and 3 Doors Down.

@Nallore

Wow. I can't believe that I've met another 3 Doors Down fan.

I seriously thought that I was alone over here! I'm absolutely in love with their Away From The Sun album. I can see that you have good taste in music though! I've seen Goo Goo Dolls and Breaking Benjamin play live - both were fantastic! I also listen to Lifehouse, Linkin Park (rest in peace, Chester Bennington), Shinedown, RISE AGAINST, The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, Daughtry, and Halestorm.

I don't suppose I can stop in for a cup of soul?
