[OOC] Beyond a Fire's Embers

[Genkai]

Yes, you're here now and that's what counts.

[mmidnight]

Yeep c:

[Genkai]

I have an OOC to get up but once it's up, I should be able to get to our post. ^^ *wiggles*

[mmidnight]

Alrightt. Take your time.

[Genkai]

Okay,

I still wanna try and get it up before tomorrow's hectic stuff kicks up.

[mmidnight]

Well, it's alright if you can't. No rush.

[Genkai]

Okay thanks, it's a calm night though. I'm not being tasked with dinner duty but I do have to get up pretty early in the morning which means ideally I'd want to be in bed around 11 at the latest and have any posts stored on google drive for my commute into school.

So...your day calming down some?

[mmidnight]

How long does it take you?

Yeah, it's all good right now. I'm watching District 9 and stalling on these other posts that I have, haha.

[Genkai]

Take me to commute? Well my class is at 10 AM but that means I have to leave the house by 8-815 to go to the train station by 830-845 which then leaves me an hour to get to school which is taking into account transferring at a station to catch another one and then getting a shuttle to school from the station. And then it gives me 10 minutes to get across campus to my building. So it take anywhere from an hour to an hour a half to commute one way. So in other words, I have to wake up by 730 or 745 which means my nights of staying up till 1 or 2 are over. And then I have a break at around 1150 until 2PM and then I get out about two hours later and go back home the same way but I'm trying to get my dad to drive me into school tomorrow because I'm lazy and I want to get my bearings again without dealing with public transport since the shuttle from the station can be either too full and you have to wait or too infrequent, despite thousands of people commuting the way I do.

But the school is still only an 45 mins to an hour away via car so it's not like he's going out of his way. And I'm bribing him with coffee and pastries.

/end ramble

So yeah, when I'm living on or around campus next year, my time won't be so precious since commuting will be walking 5-10 minutes. But fuck the next two or three quarters are gonna be a pain in the ass because commuting takes roughly ten bucks a day, so that's about 40-50 bucks a week going down the drain but oh the comforts of home are too lovely...and in most cases, the long walk across town is good exercise. (I won't say that when I'm 30 minutes behind schedule and running/crying my ass off lol)

Ohh is that about aliens? I've never watched it but I've heard mostly good/interesting things about it.

[mmidnight]

Welp, good luck with that. It sounds like a frustrating mess.

Aliens/apartheid, basically. Just like Elysium is about immigration.

[Genkai]

It is but hey, after the first week I'll be able to do it with my eyes closed. (so I can catch some more Zs) And if I ever wanna go into the city after a long day, it's not hard to do. ^^;

Oh damn, I need to see that too. I think I could catch it on demand. As long as you're enjoying it, that's good. Did Elysium have Jodie Foster or am I thinking of someone else?

[mmidnight]

That'll be good c:

And yeah, she was in it. She had a really weird accent? I never saw it in the theater but it was on TV not too long ago. I was glad I didn't pay for it, but it wasn't horrible. Matt Damon was the only white guy still living on earth basically, and all of the other white people were up on this space station and he got cancer or something, idk. It was different and had some plot holes.

[Genkai]

Really? I know I saw that one about that guy one earth when there's nothing left and as it turns out it give you the ol' clone trope at the end, I forget the name but it came out a bit before Elysium I think and both seemed interesting but I regretted paying for the movie. Thank god for tv and internet now, we can watch stuff without having our wallets suffer and if we hate it, we can exit out of the window. ^^

[mmidnight]

I'm not sure which one that is. If you remember the name, let me know. And yeah, there's nothing on right now, except for Heathers.

[Genkai]

Yeah it's really bugging me now but it might hit me tomorrow or something. ^^;

[mmidnight]

I hate when that happens.

[Genkai]

Yeah well I'll figure it out. No big deal.

In regards to your text, I don't think I'm ignoring you. I've been active here as much as anywhere else. I started a new RP with Sole because our other one is on pause and the other one (the HP one) was in the works for a while, if that's why you're worried. You shouldn't be. You and I are just fine, like you said last night. ^^ I don't want to fight with you, I like you. And I think you like me too, as a friend. I wasn't too active the past hour or so because I had dinner and I knew you were watching a movie. And I even assured you I was getting something up in the IC tonight and you said it not to rush but I still said I would try anyway. And I'm about done with my OOC so I can get to you tonight like I wanted.

[Genkai]

So....moving this all aside. ^^;

I am about to hit the hay but I have plenty to look forward to tomorrow and I hope you can keep me company when I'm muddling around school.

[mmidnight]

Ofc I can <3 I hope you have a good first day back.

[Genkai]

Thanks, it's nice to be back, I forgot how many fucking people go to State schools. >___>'

But hey half way done and I'm not dead yet. So yay?
