Whatever, Let's Have A Goddamn Blog Thread, But Try And Keep It Reasonable

Looooooong after. I actually never heard of it before I met him.
I have played D&D and other table-based RPG games for about 7 or 8 years now. I have also played some PC games over the years, my favorite being Baldur's Gate II.
The open-ended nature of EVE appealed to me from the beginning. I read a lot of the history of the EVE Universe but put off playing the game because I imagined that it would be a pretty serious time suck, and I'd forget to eat and sleep and feed the cats and go to work and other necessary things, and also because I didn't think my laptop was capable of running it.
Finally, though, Mike set me up with my own computer at his place and I downloaded the 14-day free trial and now I've been playing for maybe a month or month and a half. He mostly tells me what to do and sends me ISK when I don't have enough, which kind of makes me feel like a kept woman but whatever; but also the past couple days we've been running missions together which is fun except that I have to warp out all the time because my wee little frigate can take, like, two hits and then there's imminent hull-breach.
But yeah. I like it pretty well. It has kind of a long learning curve, though.

Driving theory involves the highwade code, driving law, car mechanics, etc, and a hazard perception test. Most cars in the U.K. are manual transmission, by the way.
Fun fact: everyone in Bournemouth ignores everything they learn to pass this test. Seriously, no-one indicates and I saw a guy who parked his car on double yellows the other day, right on the corner, sticking out into a goddamn main road. I caught him as he got back to his car, asked him if he knew that that was illegal and he just said 'yeah' and drove off.

Finally! Tengo un trabajo nuevo!
It's pretty damn simple, just driving around industrial-sized lawn mowers through the myriad parks we have here, and other public facilities for the cities, but hey, it gets me out in the open, and pays $11.00 an hour. That's pretty good for a summer job.
Also, I'm starting to learn a bit of Russian, and frankly, I'm proud of how quickly I'm picking up on it. I've been using the "English" alphabet translations of the words to learn them though. I'm eventually going to have to try to delve into the Russian/Cyrillic alphabet, but that's going to be a lot harder than just learning word pronunciations.

Dearest Blog Thread,
I had my job interview today! I think it went well! Sometimes I answered the questions they asked retardedly and not at all to the point (they were HARD) but I did it in such a charming and endearing way, they loved me. I think I interview well because I just tend to make people feel happy because I am happy? I don't know. They asked me what my worst quality was and I forgot to think and just said: "I'm a little bit weird". Apparently that means I will fit right in. I wore my skully bow shoes because I thought we might have to walk around the factory and have a look at things. I was all, oh they wont notice my shoes. So of course they said: What kind of shoes are you wearing? And looked under the table to see if they were suitable. I was like, oh crap! Goth shoes! But they were all, oh, they are probably not the best for this but they are cute!
They can't have waited more than a minute for me to leave before they rang my boss for a reference, that's a good thing right? She rang me after and told me all about the nice things she said.
This is my blog story
Love Jodie <3
