The lil' Coffee House, Open 24/7, even on Holidays Options

[Kayla]

Good to see you guys again! Yeah... I'm torn between going into medicine or going into game design.

[Ibis]

Yes indeedy roo, welcome back to Chorrol Kayla. I am getting into Game Design, actually the Computer Animation part of Game Designing ... after the councellor saw my artwork she talked me out of the programming side (requires passing a special math test) and into computer animation for games and movies too. I took the tour at Full Sail Media School here in Orlando (if you can come up with $68,000 in scholarships, grants & credit you can get a 4 year Bachelors of Computer Anim or Game Design there in 22 months.) They are among the top 5 Media Schools in the world. Unless a miracle happens scholarship/grant -wise, I will probably be taking computer animation classes part-time at our community college. But I'm so glad I got to tour the whole animation process at Full Sail and would love to go there later on perhaps - after I work in the field a bit.

A doctor? Wow, 3 really good but totally different fields. But wait, maybe you could combine them and become a video sports doctor - like carpal tunnel syndrome of hands, arms, shoulders from too much gaming - or - perhaps you could be a game controller designer that would alleviate these problems for people because as a doctor you'd know how. ??? Maybe.

Good luck though in whatever you do - follow your dreams. Nothing is impossible.

Today was great, it was my Gaeltacht reunion so i got to see al my friends again. It's only a week since i last saw them, but i missed them all. I also bought a new album, ASscendancy by Trivium, and a new DVD, Gladiator

[Khajiit Overlord Rainer]

That's how my hubby Cain started out Rainer. And don't let those waitresses and cooks push you around either - they aren't your boss, they work for the same manager you do. If you want to move up in the kitchen staff and become sous chef or salad man or prep cook - then do that extra of THEIR work that they try to throw at you. But if you don't and finish the dishes too soon before your shift ends, just find your pace to finish on time ... or people will give you extra work and you ARE only working for ONE paycheck.

Just a little advice from someone who's worked 15 years in restaurants.

Oh, they don't push Rainer around at all.

Infact, it's like everyone there is brother and sister, with how well everyone gets along. And when Rainer usually finds time on his hands. he starts to sing the First suite in F by Gustav Holst.

One of the servers said Rainer has a suprisingly good singing voice!

Speaking of Dishwashing, Rainer has to leave in about 40 minutes

[Ibis]

Oh I'm so glad you work in a nice place Rainer.

And Wolfie, Gladiator is one of my all-time favorite movies!

[Zarrexaij]

My boyfriend has been missing for about 24 hours now.

I'm scared I'll never see him again at this point.

[Ibis]

Oh nooo. Do the police there do the thing where a person has to be gone for over 24 hours before they'll start looking for them or put out a bulletin? They do that here in Florida, except for missing children who get the Amber Alert. Don't know why they can't do that for everyone.

Have you checked with all his friends? Where was he last? What was he doing? Who last saw him? If the police are going to sit on their hands you've got to start asking questions yourself ... I would. I hope you find him soon. Usually these things are mistakes that turn out okay.

[Intestinal Chaos]

Hey look, I'm alive! Ha.

The prodigal son has returned. Sorry for being gone for so long, but I've been pretty busy. My whole homelessnes thing really got to be too much. I found myself alone, without my friends, one state away from where I started from with nothing to show for it but broken relationships and a starving belly. I had to return back home. Still it's not all bad, I'm making the best of it here and trying to put my life back together.


EDIT: Whaaat? Since when has this been the "lil'" coffee shop? So much has changed

You'll get it back together Stomach Ache. Don't let it get you down. At least you are safe now, and eat good and all that. Welcome back home to Chorrol too ....

Oh and you see, it is just as I said when Minque was gone --- as soon as she returns, people will come back again too. Kayla, Chaos, more and more will flock back to us. 'Tis the power of the minque. lol

[Intestinal Chaos]

Woooah, wait? The place is deserted?

[Megil Tel-Zeke]

Wow Megil, what major do you study? I seem to remember that it's art related, but I seem also to remember being surprised about something scientific you were studying ... sorry my moemory is so bad.

Is there any student exchange on campus for Used Books? I always tried to buy mine that way ... sometimes you'd luck out and get one from a conciencsous A+ student who used highlighter like crazy. But I certainly do know what you mean about the exorbitant prices of text books which is ironic because if those books weren't required for classes, no one'd bue them at all.

Majoring in Biology. Minoring in Chemistry cause all i ned is two extra classes after the ones required for my bio major. But I want to minor in something else as wel, or at least take aclasses in other areas. Everyone tells me to do art (but I don't feel i'd be able to meet expectations).

But yeah. the used book exchange in Wilmington didn't reduce the pirce all that much, would have been over $300. But I spnt a while looking around, I have managed to be able to get my books for $250 using half.com and Abebooks.com both sites are really good.

and on another note, it turns out that I got an additional $2,000 financial aid for this year ($1,000 a semester) so I was really excited about that, so I can gt the books, and have 2 months worth of bills covered. And then I am getting two raises for my job this year, one for returning and another one in October, which also made my day. So while I'll be pretty much busting my boat, I am in the long run reducing debt.

I'll be working 30 hours a week on top of my 15 horus of classes (history of western science, Biology, Calculus, Logic, Biological research) and then who knows the homework. So Megil will be a sparse sight on chorrol.com but I promise to drop by at least on the weekends.

Woooah, wait? The place is deserted?

Just a bit of a dry spell.


Oh and to make my post even longer, a funny story.

So I went on-campus yesterday and hung out with friends, and well it got late, didn't feel like getting a ride back to my apartment (let alone trying to get someone to drive me home at 2am) so I spent the nght in my friend hither's room. Well yesterday was the day before freshman move-in. so I sleep in Hither's roomates empty bed till 6 am. Hither had ot go get ready to help the freshmen move in so i got in her bed, sicne we didn't know when her roomate would be arriving to move-in. Well 8a.m. rolls by and I am awoken by the sound of people bringing boxes and stuff into the room, well i play it off as being asleep until the leave the room, then I get up and grab my jeans to put them on. Well Hither's roomate (milissa) and her mom decided to walk in as I was putting them on, so there I was jeans 1/4 of the way up my legs, in my undies meeting my best friend's roomate and her mother. Needless to say embarrasment from both parties, followed by outrage and shock from the mother. I gave them the worst possible first impression of Hither lol. They assume that I must be her boyfriend or something (we have yet to take the time to let the roomate know that I don't do girls hehe)

I chose to major in theatre arts... I wanted to minor in film studies but... yeah... I'll make it work, you'll see... you'll all see.

[Ibis]

Megil = R.O.F.L.M.F.A.O.!!!!!

HAHAHA!!! I will post more here later ... I'm laughing too hard now to continue. I'm going back to bed on tha one. teeheehhehehe!

[DoomedOne]

Yeah megil, just read that, pretty american pie, right there. hamster cave classic compassion.

Oh and I have upgraded myself from Pirate to Buccaneer. What is the difference between a Pirate and Buccaneer besides that Buccaneer is a more badass word? Well, a Pirate is a materialist while a Buccaneer and a spiritualist. Yep.

EDIT: And also I'm taking 17 hours at college when I start, though I'll be dropping to 13 pretty fast.

Megil, I'm sure that you'd more than measure up in art classes ... but it is smart of you to take science because you are already good at art. Love your flowers

=================

Doomed,

I was laughing at Megil's crash introduction course for the roommate to the land of dormitory living. (hehehe) Not laffing at him or the book problem, although that seems to have gotten solvd with his great windfalls of financial fortune. Wish some of them kinda things would fall my way.

Did you call me a hamster cave??? You rock-pounding rusty-flintlocked bucaneer! Don't you call me names or your going to be bounding along the briney mane without your lifeboats, if you catch my drift!!

[DoomedOne]

I called you no such thing, nor did I laugh at Megil, I just commented his story was classic hamster cave american pie compassion.

Now... how DARE you call my flintlock rusty, my flintlock is the primest of them all, never fails to work, ever.

[Ibis]

A 1000 pardons - Oh Doomed O' the High Seas!!!! I took insult where there was none. Please don't unleash your hurricane gale-force temper upon me; nor my humble abode .... I'm afraid you'll sail right up the canal into our lake and start bombing our condos, or at least pop-shooting alligators. Maybe that was how our swimming pool cement skirt cracked - - some pirate cannonballed it!

Anyway = I present a humble peace offering to you for making up for my hamster boatmaster (my this censor is fun). I was looking for the coral encrusted antique pistol on Antiques Roadshow but apparently it's taken - so I bought you this:
