So I've got a paid commission to write articles for an up and coming gaming site. So, you know, awesome happenings for me. I was also asked by a friend to submitted a written mission for a choose your own adventure game on mobile devices. LIVING THE DREAM.
That's awesome comrade. Is this your first paid writing gig?
In practice, yes. In theory, I was supposed to be paid writing for a zombie website but the fucks never gave me a red cent. This time, they pay upon receipt of my work so I'm a lot more confident that I can go from ramen all the way up to frozen burgers on this check. Weekly pay, so it's a regular wage too. I'm pretty ecstatic.
EDIT: As for the game I'm writing for, it's called League of Spies. That's all I can say for now beyond the fact that I've been commissioned to write one mission and more pending positive reception of my work.

I've been in the writing gig for a long time so I know what that's like. Internet sites are notoriously shady in terms of pay. Fortunately I didn't write for them for too long XD Although I kept some of my internet work on the side of my better paying writing stuff. Unfortunately I got out of writing for a while so I'm trying to break back in again.
Depressed. Girl I'd used to see and me... things were complicated. I started dating other people but for a long time thought one day she'd come around again and want to see me again. Last night at dinner she told me she was seeing someone else. I want to... indulge all the worst of me right now. I just want to be the Monster.

Being the monster won't balance out tomorrow, tomorrow won't necessarily balance out yesterday. Cause and effect, and then ALWAYS examine the true reason you do things, what they truly do for you, how they truly effect others, what you truly want.
I'm no false prophet, XD, I'm just sharing as friends.I think you're a good looking guy (no homo) and you could be very balanced out finding some one who is more on the level side of things and having a relationship.
But, the question is how do we balance ourselves?
Just screwing her (please, no offense to you or her) won't balance things out, it will just cause chaos and problems between issues taking place.
Another self balanced to do this,and it won't be easy, it takes character, is to talk about it, tell her how you feel about her, let her think about it, that would be more balanced for her too. It may cause some distress but it's more fair and balanced that way.
You don't want to restart things as a sexual affair, do you?
Again, none of my business, but your energy, your energy is different than others. I can feel something about you that's extraordinary. Don't turn to the dark side, your force level is high. XD
Ask yourself , and it's not easy why you feel the way you do, examine the value and importance of feeling this way when you ask yourself what you truly want out of your life. And ask you the value and significance of temptation, and why you want to be a monster and the value and significance of being a monster.
You're no monster. Don't let shit make your life crazy, and screwy, find balance.
Just friendly advice, I'm not telling you how to live your life or do anything, it's just how I see things as a individual, and you're my friend. There's usually a way to balance your wants and your needs, but it takes great strength.
To tell you the truth, I think this whole world is sort of screwy, we have these beautiful women acting like animals, wild animals, dogs, and we have for some reason rewrote history so that it's a acceptable thing. These actresses, film stars, running around like animals, even adam and Eve had fig leaves...
And these photo shops, warping, perverting the human body are a good 95 percent of the celebrity if not 100 percent of the celebrity photos that you're seeing on line.
It's a fake world, I don't want to be anti world, anti anything, it's just that some people are going to realize what they really want out of life rather than understanding their thoughts and feelings as some sort of physical or mental state that can be summarized in literature or any other BS place...
True self honesty, and that's a concept I struggle with...
Look at the way I've treated women, I'm oblivious to the real world, women. I know what I'm talking about to a degree.
This whole world doesn't make sense, honestly, it doesn't , once you reexamine it, truly, and for the first time.
You're a smart guy, see the world through your own eyes, you're no monster. And you should respect, take care of yourself, and shouldn't give into things just because they exist around you, ask yourself inwardly some times what really matters, what you really want, what is the value, what the out come would be, only then will you be happy. This BS world around us is a business and structured on business it doesn't care about you.
Again, not trying to change anything, those who will be self realized will do it for their selves.
Internet sites are notoriously shady in terms of pay.
Ugh, yes. It's pretty ridiculous. And all this after wading through hundreds of volunteer gigs. I don't mind writing for free since it builds my portfolio up, but at this point I need to start getting some sort of compensation besides review copies.
I'm hoping the last site I wrote for has enough clout to turn some heads, but since it wasn't a game site, it may not have the same impact. On the other hand, I feel like I wrote some of my best reviews there.
Oy, I don't know. I knew starting out that I had picked a notoriously difficult field to get into, so I'm not going to bitch too much. The fact that I've had any gigs at all is far more than I ever expected, and every time I get positive feedback on a submission, I get a permanent smile on my face for the week.
It won't make me rich, and it often makes me nervous that I've put every single one of my eggs into this basket, but I love it.

Oh! You can whore out and write ad copies, eh? BECOME DON DRAPER.
Unfortunately, the release date for the item(s) listed below was changed by the supplier, and we need to provide you with a new estimated delivery date based on the new release date:
Naoko Takeuchi "Sailor Moon Vol. 1 (Sailor Moon (Kodansha))"
Estimated arrival date: October 25 2011 - October 27 2011
Shit. Ten days to go until NDK. My friend signed up to do a panel, but never received confirmation that she got one. The program guide came out today, and her panel is on the schedule. She has ten days to finish planning a zombie makeup tutorial she didn't think she'd be doing.
I don't know who at HP thought it would be a good idea to put those oh so "handy" hot keys right next to essential keys like esc, ctrl, shift, caps lock and tab.
You would not believe how many times I try to press the small esc key, only to touch the mail keys and launch windows live mail, which in turn sends me back to desktop!
>:X
I can't even fully disable them either.
Sure at the moment, I undid their registry entries so when playing a game or at desktop they are disabled, but in some apps like internet explorer some of them still work!!!
I don't want a damn print key.
I don't want your stupid media crap
I don't want a email key
I'm not lazy enough to use the http key
And no sane man would ever use microsoft's built in calculator!!!!
This could have all been fixed by simply, veeery simply putting those keys on the other side of the keyboard.
Is this a laptop or a desktop? Cause if it's a desktop, you might want to consider just buying a new keyboard. I know for a fact that Dell keyboards are quite spiffy.

My best advice is that, if you can, to start submitting to magazines, if at all possible. SF writers, for instance, have submissions to things like Asimov. If you're more of a journalist writer that's going to be a bit tougher.

My 'ex' just posted a sketch of myself and him that he had commissioned at an anime convention on Facebook with the following:
"To say I have mixed emotions on this one is an understatement. Art-wise this is definitely one of the better pictures I've gotten at an Otakon. It depicts a scene from one of life's many possible "Good Endings" - one I'll never get to unlock."
Still not sure how I feel about this, given that from my perspective- I've only ever seen him four times in person before that convention, he lives in another time zone, and he had completely unreasonable expectations of me. I just really wanted to be friends with him, and after I told him that's what I wanted, he went ballistic on me.

Ugh. And so I lost a friend.
Eh, guy sounds like a douche.
At least you have your other digital friends.
Most of us are too busy judging ourselves to even have expectations of others! XD

Eerie. That sounds just like Chris-chan. You, my friend, dodged a bullet.
Also, I should probably mention that the link is to Encyclopedia Dramatica and is thus severely NSFW, but it is a story that needs to be told.

Yeah I'd only want to be friends with someone I'd only seen four times, too.
Can't you just map those certain keys to do nothing at all, or something unnoticeably small with your HP settings? I'm sure there's a setting which tells the email key to launch Windows Live Mail instead of Gmail or Outlook. I figure you could change such settings to disable said key or at least to make it just press F12 or something.

With del, home, page up, page down and end.
No one likes those guys. XD

Laptop unfortunately.
It's too soon to trust another month.
Try drinking! Trust your ol' buddy Pantsy, it's a good decision.
(Not really.)
Well if Nixon says I should.
EDIT: Codename Sailor V has not been pushed back yet so September still looks ok.
There is something just magical about 2112.

Well, if you're really desperate, you can still plug in an external USB keyboard.
That's how things work out sometimes, and he needs to learn to live with it. At least it wasn't a tattoo. I'm sure it was still a good sketch.
Yeah I'd only want to be friends with someone I'd only seen four times, too.
A tiny PC that can run Quake 3.
Cheap too. $25 basic model, and $35 bigger and better model.
Boy, if I could get that $35 model, I would love to make a personal console or something for myself.
(Even though I can't code).
Maybe make something similar to that picture I drew.
Okay, my first thought was that you meant you're listening to Rush Limbaugh. Ugh...
Then I realized you live in the UK and wouldn't listen to any American political pundits, much less one as crazy stupid as Rush Limbaugh.
