  3. Who Would Win

    in Forum Games

    :lol:

    Wolfy would bite tentacle monster, and if it were a virus that made him undead, it would be passed to the monster, and the monster would eventually become undead.

    Either way, tentacle monster would probably have its way with the wolf, and therefore, win. :P

    Horny tentacle monster, or horny ninja? :rofl:

  7. "We'll find a job for you that's FUN."

    I need to rant. :bash:

    I usually try to keep this type stuff off of the interwebs, but I'm about to explode, and at the moment, I don't have anyone to go to.

    I haven't had a "real" job since...ever. My work experience is mostly in temp work through an agency, for various factories. I applied for work at every business I thought I might have a shot at, and NO ONE hired me, or even called me in for an interview. This was in a relatively large town, too. I've since moved. Thrice.

    The first town I lived in is small, and I applied at every business in the town, except for places I new I'd need schooling or special experience for. Most of them said they weren't hiring, or were family-run business. Two places were promising. A gas station, and a Dairy Queen. The manager of the gas station was moron, and let me check in almost every day for two months straight, without telling me that she filled the positions. With my cousins. If I would have told her who my aunt was, I would have had a job. Dairy Queen interviewed me. They ended up filling the positions with the owner's son, and some preacher's daughter. When I asked for the logical reasons behind not hiring me (not enough experience, for example?) they just told me that the owner's son felt like working, and that the girl they hired for the position I was going for was the preacher's daughter from the church in a nearby town. ...said town is more than ten miles away. I lived up the street.

    The second town I lived in is even smaller than the first. It doesn't even have a real grocery store. The business district is dead. There's a bank, a post office, a family-run convenience store, and two bars. That's about it. I asked about work at the convenience store, they said no. I have no car, and there are no towns in walking distance from that town. There is also no transportation provided by the town. (No bus, train or even taxi.) ..so, I was stuck. Fortunately, my parents, who work for a property management company got me a job cleaning empty apartments. I..rarely get to work though, and when I do, the pay isn't good. It's not a livable income, but it's better than nothing at all.

    My parents recently moved to a bigger town...and by big, I mean, it's still pretty tiny. I moved with them for the opportunity of work, and because they promised me that they'd (finally) take me to get my license. No luck so far. I've decided to stop looking for work there, because I want to get a place with my boyfriend, and he refuses to move for me. ( I don't blame him, the town I live in is in the middle of nowhere, and he lives in a metropolis.) Right now, I am technically living in two places. With my parents, and with my boyfriend and his family. My boyfriend's mom keeps pressuring me to move in with them permanently. I want to have a little more independence before I do that, because, they aren't the most reliable people around. I doubt I could even get the money needed to take the bus, should I start job hunting, or, by some strange miracle, actually get a job.

    My boyfriend's mom recently got promoted to Executive Director at the assisted living home she works at. I thought that maybe I could get a job. It would be perfect! I wouldn't have to worry about transportation, or anything. I could save up, get a car and home, and move on with my life. I waited for a month or two after she got the new position, and then submitted a resume. She refuses to hire me. She knows I have experience cleaning living spaces, and knows I do it well, as she has seen my work, and even praised me for it. She constantly rants to me about how shitty her staff is, particularly the cleaning staff. Yet, out of fear for her job, out of fear that "it would look bad," she won't fire the jerk-offs and hire new people. You know what looks really good for people in her position? When they get things done. When they take charge and bring in decent staff. Maybe that's just my logic. The only position she currently has available is care-giver. She refuses to hire me for it, because it would mean I would have to wipe old people's butts and bathe them. It has to do with appearance too. It would look oh-so-horrible to hire someone she knows, even if they are actually competent, hard workers. Funny thing is, NOBODY HIRES ANYBODY UNLESS THEY KNOW THEM SOMEHOW. (It may be different where you live, but this has been the experience for me.) She told me, and I quote "if you would just move up here, we could find you something more fun."

    I don't give a fuck about FUN. I just need a god damn job! It...seriously made me question her intelligence. The economy is shit. Jobs are hard to come by. People take what they can get. Something as trivial as fun does not matter. At being told that, I died a little bit on the inside. Just when I thought that maybe I would have some luck and get a job, because for once, I have a connection to somebody in a position to hire for full-time work. Nope. It's all about fun. Apparently, I'm only allowed to work at a place I would "enjoy". She claims to know me, but keeps imposing her ideas of enjoyable jobs on me....very obviously for selfish reasons, too. I should work at a coffee place, so I can get her free coffee, or at a store so I can get her a discount... I have social anxiety. AND SHE KNOWS THIS. If I were to be picky about where I work (which I am not) places like that would be the ones I look. I am the type who would enjoy care-giving. She insists I wouldn't. It's too depressing, and gross, and blah blah fucking blah. I can't get that anything through to her. But hey, that's pretty much the story of my life. I am overlooked. I am invisible. I'm just here to take it all in. A fly-on-the-wall. The word "ninja" in my screen name actually has meaning, and isn't just because I like them. I wish I could just catch a fucking break. :bash: It's soul-crushing that the one person able to give me one refuses to do so.

    I like people I can actually hold a conversation with. :lol: Doing good things is nice, too. :P

    I don't usually change my icons much, but a couple of my friends made art for me, and I wanted to display it. :)

    Until recently, I had the same icon over on deviantART for about three years. XD

    Very nice! The chemistry in this little group is always lively, and poor Noel... wet dreams and being used as a body pillow!

    Thanks. :D Hehe, I try. :P ...yeah, things aren't going good for Noel right now, but hopefully, they'll be at least slightly less awkward next chapter. :P

    Noel's dream was pretty darn steamy. You really captured his self confusion well, I sure hope he's able to come to terms with desires as easily as the somewhat more depraved barrel fetishist who's hopefully not gripping him in sleep and thinking "whoo! nice knothole!" Bowman seems a hardass there. 20 year old and 16 year old couples aren't real uncommon in my country though so it may be why I'm thinking he's going hard on em.

    Thanks. ;)

    :spit: Oh gods! You made my day. I can't stop laughing. :rofl: Thanks for that. XD

    I think they are somewhat common here, but are generally frowned upon.

    The persecution in this story is actually drawn from an experience of mine.

    I had just turned 18, and was with a 15 year old...

    Older adults thought less of us, just because of our age difference.

    It was stupid, really. :(

    Honey suckles. X3 (Are yummy in a not-so-dirty way. :P )

    I'm more of a fur fan myself. (Cat and fox people, in particular.) :lol:

    But plant people seem like they could be fun to draw. :3

    Maybe a girl with leaves and flowers in her hair who has large, leaf-like ears, a vine tail and green skin. :P
