The Great, the Amazing, and the Regret

HEY EVERYBODY! I got three things I want to post journals about, but posting them all one after the other seems... dumb. =I So here's all three in one!

The first announcement I have to make is that I got a job! ^^ I'm going to be working for a company that will generally have me doing the same thing as my last job: Customer service and technical support over the phone. The difference is that I'll be getting paid more, I won't be actually remoting into their computers so I should be able to manage my calm time better, and they're a little more strict on punctuality. They're also going to teach me a lot more than my last job, which was focused on operating systems honestly. The orientation and classes are at the end of the month though, so unfortunately because of their odd paycheck dates I won't receive my first paycheck till towards the end of next month. It's going to be hard managing my money till then, but this job should give me all the money I need to pay off bills and other things I've needed money for since moving up here (As well as renewing my premium membership =/ ). So it will take a while to get out of the hot water I'm in, but with this job it should be possible.

So Sonic Boom was a bit of a letdown, huh? Well if your not getting the sonic game you want I've got something amazing for you that I just discovered thanks to VG Cats!

Meet "Freedom Planet"


Freedom Planet is a game starring Sash Lilac, a dragon hero, and her friends battle an alien attack force in a game that puts the action and platforming first, and the speed second (what Sonic Boom should have been). You can download and play the demo for free, and if you like it you can buy the whole game on Steam or the Humble Store for 14.99.

So if you want that classic sonic game feel with a massive upgrade and a cast of new interesting characters in an original story, check out more at freedomplanet.galaxytrail.com/

The last thing is just something I regret from my past I wanted to talk about. Back in 2011, which wasn't that long ago honestly, I went through what I call my jealousy phase. For some reason no matter who I dated back then seemed to want to spend more time with other people rather than me, and it gave me serious trust issues. These issues hurt not only my relationships with the people I dated, but my friends too. The only person I think I could say I could trust I dated was Circe, but I ruined that and that's a different story. And one other thing this jealousy phase effected was my roleplaying.

One of my closest friends who I still roleplay with to this day, I ruined one of my favorite roleplays ever because of it. It was called the "Dark Tower" and was a very interesting roleplay that I had a lot planned for. He had two characters in there I really loved: Nira the pervy raccoon priestess, and Pholo the wolf scholar who often took her to task (spanked her). I loved seeing these two interact, it was always so interesting, funny, and kinky. But then I introduced a couple of characters: Index the priestess and her brother Ace the super hero (I don't even remember their race). The characters were honestly a little out of place in the roleplay, and they started dating Pholo and Nira. But then because of my jealousy, despite how much I loved Nira and Pholo's bond, Index and Ace became jealous and drove them apart, causing serious drama in an rp that became... short lived after that.

I tried to hold on to what good memories I had of the roleplay. I insisted that he use Nira, for example, in several future rps we tried since I liked her character so much and wanted to hold on to one of the best parts of one of my past favorite roleplays. But eventually  realized that he wasn't going to remain interested in our roleplays unless we stopped using repeat characters and made some new and interesting ones. So I had to let her go, and with her the memories I was holding on to. Last night I stumbled across the old rp, and remembered everything, like how I ruined it with the jealousy phase I was going through, and I still regret it.

Don't do what I did guys. A roleplay is just that: A roleplay. It's an interaction of fictional characters, don't bring your personal drama into it. It's a fantasy, an escape, and if there's something you don't like in that roleplay that talk to your partner about it. They should listen and understand, and you can make a compromise you'll both enjoy. Otherwise you might see a story, or even a relationship you love, ruined beyond repair.

------------------------

I just wanted to talk about that and get it off my chest. This isn't an invitation to rp or anything like that guys, so don't read too far into it okay? 

Anyways. Looking forward to my new job, and check out freedom planet sometime guys! If you want more Freedom Planet there are playthroughs and cutscenes posted on youtube I noticed, so check it out and show your support.
