Only like, 3 months friend. 3 months. I've been playing alot of European handball at school, so I'm happy as the metaphorical clam. I was promised goalie for this term, and I just love this position. I usually play goalie or forward, because I like being depended on and in on the action, but this year I'm felling saucy . Also, I've been getting easy to accomplish, insanely quick essays that count for alot of my marks. I love when teachers test cram.

Well, I worked out a deal with some people at the game store, I'll be getting Oblivion either on or a day or two after it goes on shelves.

When I do recieve Oblivion I'll be quitting the forum for a number of monthes, until I feel I have learned enough about the game (most likely after beating it a number of times).


All is well in Gavin land.

I'm still alive.

Well, I cant agree totally with that stomach ache...i will still visit this forums, though I will play oblivion for some six7seven hours a day. I mean oblivion...it's like the holy grail to us fans...at least thats the way I feel.

I´ll come here..not just because I´ll have to straighten you up you nice members but just because I like it here and since I have no idea WHEN I´ll get Oblivion....I´d say I´ll be waiting 4 it still some time!

Me too. I could afford the game the second it comes out, but my pc won't run it. I won't be able to afford a better pc untill at least a month after I get a job, if I save every penny. My dad found a 400 dollar pc in a magazine that will wun Oblivion with less than 200 dollars of upgrades. At minumum wage (almost definitely what I'll be making if/when I get a job) I'll make about a hundred dollars a week. (not bad pay, considering I don't have to live off it) I've got some money saved up now ($200), but I figure I probably won't be saving every penny I make. So I won't be getting OB when it's brand new, I'll probably be here every now and then afterwards.

Yeah, I'll be saving up for the game and my new pc myself. Oooh, big deal, I'm all res-pon-si-ble now. (I use that word so infrequently that I had to sound it out to spell it right )

There aren't too many jobs around for kids my age. Basically, there are two. Tops (a supermarket- stockboy, bagboy, etc...) and Lucky's. (a resaurant- washing dishes, bussing tables, etc...)

Poor you Kindred...but if I had to choose between those two jobs, I would take the supermarket, as I wash enough dishes at home..

Re..spon..soo.. GAWD! Its too hard... can't say it.


Anyways I feel yea Kindred.. If I win the lottery like I plan on I'll be sure to send you enough money to buy a new computer.

Me, I got lucky. I consider myself a venture capitalist.

When my dad owned his business, I, instead of paying me money, he kept it. However, the deal I worked with him worked that if I did all the work he requested, I wouldn't get a penny of what I earned. Instead I would let him have my money, spend it as he pleased, and then later I would be able to request me money. But this is after some interest/

That little deal went on for a while, and from it I got quite a bit of money.. it worked out to be 3k plus.. Not bad for 11 year old.

Now I got a real job and I work at my mothers business (Hah, I'd like someone to call my family communists ). So both of those part time jobs provide me with a steady income. , however, that means I got to pay for just about every I want.. IE, clothes (certians kinds), food when I'm not with my family, gas, insurance, and a few other things.

So i guess it evens out. But I'm trying to get a loan from parents to by some land up in halifax county. Dollywood is coming to NC, and think of all the business that will follow?

Oh jeeze.. thats a long post

Oh yes, with more money comes more expenses, it's always like that. I thought that 50 bucks whas a huge load of money when I was 12 years old, I could do whatever I wanted with that. Eventually you begin to earn more and more money and the hobbies becomes more and more expensive (as you CAN have more expensive hobbies). Then you get a job and with it comes the res-pon-sa-bi-li-ties, or something like that, so you end up burning a whole bunch of money on stuff you never even thought of when you had that 50 bucks 10 years ago...

But in the end, if you'r considerate with where you use the money, it always pays up to have a job. I work part-time at night in a restaurant every two weekends and get some nice cash from it, then since I still live at my parents home (let's hope I get away from here soon.... ) my expenses only includes travel-tickets, clothing and other stuff of selfinterest. Therefore I CAN afford a nice 1500$ upgrade of my PC and oblivion CE when it comes out :D:D.

Yea, god knows. I put about $300 in the bank the other day and just yesterday I got a letter from the bank saying that I overdrew on my account and there charging me 27 extra dollars because of it..

That sucks.. I just bought a shirt... and some shorts.. and about $50 dollars a in gas.. then about $50 more dollars in food those two nights cause I went out to hooters to watch the Duke vs Carolina game (UNC 4tw!!!). Heh, it seems to add up..

Ah yes responsability. I just finished applying for an apartment which I should be able to move into in august.

and lots of thigns to do until then including working my butt of for the rest of the semester, over the summer. applying for scholarships (like I have the time for this)

ah yes. I am working full-time at teh coffeeshop now, not 40 hours. just 30, which is enough to push me from part-time to fulltime. but I enjoy the paychecks, which i don't spend,....often.

post-relationship depression rocks my world, and has for the past 3 weeks. that is why i haven't been around much. It's also why i have 3 pieces going right now, why I spent $200 on a pair of jeans, a shirt, and shoes. $80 on a haircut. and why i'm working 30 hours a week.

and this spring break at home has proven to be extremely bad. sigh. hating life right now.

Well, because of another family vacation (we've been having some lucky brakes lately) I will probably have to put Oblivion off for a while. It could be up to a month, so my time here will shorten and even skip days. I will un-bookmark the official Elder Scrolls site and go on a month long hiatus from their forums (actually, I'll probably completely leave those forums, as they have gone to hell). But rest assured, I'll get the game as fast as I can because its hard to get a new video card and save a few hundred up for a vacation.

Anyways, I'm going first to South Carolina staying at a beautiful resort right near a very un-populated beach. After about a week there, we are traveling to Washington D.C and staying at [pause for dramatic effect].......................... a suite in the Water Gate Hotel! We'll visit the Smithsonian, the Spy Museum and various other places us Canucks find interesting.

It's always nice to get away for a while and forget everyday troubles... When you come back you'll enjoy oblivion even more . I hope you have a nice time without the terrors of oblivion haunting you in your dreams.

Are you staying at Myrtle Beach in South Carolina, Red?

Sounds like a nice vacation, Red. Hope you enjoy it and have a lot of fun. Just make sure to check for bedbugs when you're at hte Watergate.


Heh. I kinda like the idea of actually having an income, even if it means I'll have to pay for my own stuff. I'm good with money and all, but it's hard to coast on Christmas and birthday cash alone. Besides, I didn't mention the other reason I want to get a job...small family problems.

I don't like spending time with my mom. My parent's divorced a while ago, and I spend most of my time at my dad's house. Cook my own meals, wash my own laundry, etc... She doesn't like that because he works days, so she tries to get me to her house as much as possible. I go there for dinner once or twice a week, sometimes for other reasons, to keep her from going on the warpath. It's easy to make her forget what she's trying to do, she has a memory like a leaky colander; change the topic a few times and she forgets what she was saying. If I'm at a job, she won't be pestering me about that...or so she says. Been a while since what she tells me one day was still true the next, but I can hope. Every time she tells a story, it changes. Not like, "This fish was 'this big!." *next day* the fish was THIS BIG!" More like, the truth is she saw a minnow in the water. One day, her story will be the truth, "I saw a fish the other day." The next it would be, "I caught a trout the other day." Within a few weeks, her story will involve wrestling with sharks. It's like talking to a very smart four year old.

The other funny thing is the ideas she gets about me. Because she doesn't see me much, I guess she kinda tries to imagine how I spend my days. It's good for a few laughs, at least. For example, she once asked me if I'm into sado-masochism. I can't think of any drugs she hasn't asked me if I take, and she once asked me if she needs to buy me condoms. I told her no to all of the above. (I'm fifteen, I don't need condoms! And I don't have a job, I can't afford drugs! I guess there's no logical way she could know I wasn't into S&M, though) Also, she has this weird theory that I'm never here.... (sometimes I'm not, but I usually am)

I do still spend some time with her. I go there for an hour, maybe two, every now and then, maybe twice a week at most. I'll be there later today for her birthday, then again on Thursday for my brother's birthday. So it's not like I completely live on my own. Just close.

My family's not too bad. My parent's don't drink much and I don't get beat, which automatically makes it better than the families of some people I know. Still, I don't like spending much time with them, and getting a job will give me a rocksolid proof of where I am and a rocksolid excuse for why I'm not at her house.

Ahh.. the love in peoples lives

I guess somehow I just got lucky in my life, so I try to force it upon everyone else how lucky I am

But anyways, I should be going down to my friends condo at myrtle beach sometime over spring break.. Should be fun, we ought to meet up Red.

Oddly, I'm in a very awesome mood right now.. I can't figure out why though..

Yeah, but not during my vacation. That will be my really soon vacation, during March break. Damn do I sound like a big shot (I'm really not, I only have a three car garage and only two of those cars are Ferarri F-50's)



Oh believe me, there will be not only investigation into political scandle when I am in DC, but I will cause some too. Damn am I a global problem.

Thats to bad about your mom, I know people who do that too and it really bugs me. Its like that whole story about how short Napolian was, but he was like, one inch smaller than the average Frenchman.


Maybe, but we'll be travelling away from most people down there. Actually, we might not be going. We aren't a big crowded attraction kind of family, and we might be making farther, more expensive plans towards our July vacation.

What's the other one, a Lambourgini? Delorean?

Nah, just a continential one.

Hmmm....maybe I can make some money off of her... Nevermind, probably a bad idea. I won't get into the details, but it involves having her work as a government spy. her inability to remember the truth would be perfect if she got caught...

More seriously, I don't spend enough time with her to care much. I might see her tomorrow for a few hour for a joint her/my brother burthday party, unless I make other plans. Probably won't make other plans, showing up will keep her off the warpath for a week or two. And that's all I can really do about it... She denies that she does it, every time I bring it up (and that's my primary gripe with her), so all I can do is spend most of my time away from her and see her every now and then to stall towards when I become old enough that I'm my own legal guardian and there isn't much she can do. (she doesn't have my college fund or any money, so she has no blackmail tools )
