Get To Know You Questions

[jonny]

I am an Internet Marketing Manager. That means I do search engine optimization, product development, pay-per-click advertising management, copywriting, web design, etc. I graduated from BYU and a BS in Marketing and plan to start grad school either at University of Oregon or University of Utah.

I care for my nineteen year old adopted son who has Down's Syndrome. I am a digital artist, writer and poet. I am also a proud granny and like to hel out with my grandsons.

How's the haunted house these days?
Nice to see you again,

I'm a junior in High School right now and I just picked up my first job application today, for Value Village.

As of now, my medication isn't working well enough for me to work. I was suppose to go to college this year, but because of a break-down and subsequent hospital stay, I'm home for another year. Sometimes it sucks, but I'm trying to take advantage of my 'year off' so I spend a lot of time reading, and have become more involved politically. Mostly though, I just sleep. It's a good day if I have the strength to get on the computer.

Hey Unedited, I really am sorry to hear that. I have FMS as I said, and that tends to make me feel very tired; maybe we can exchange notes - perhaps I can even give you bits of advice (I am good at that - not of applying it to myself, but in giving it to others).

I don't feel too 'angry' at being the way I am at my age (because I have done all the important things I ought to have done by now), but it really upsets me to hear of young people being ill through depression and the like - that just isn't 'fair'.

If you want to talk about it, let me know.

I am a enrolled as college right now. I currently work at Arbys, which sucks. Hopefully I'll get a job making trailors, which would be associated with carpentry, which would be something I can honestly say I would enjoy doing.
When I get some money saved up, and my athletic abilities back up, I am going to a wrestling promotion try outs. I'll show up, show the promoter and booker my skills, and hopefully they'll start booking me. To bad it cost money I really don't have to try out.

 

[Melody]

Wife, mother to 3 sons (22, 21, 13), 4 turtles, 2 ferrets and a cat. CEO of a business I founded 10 years ago. I haven't had a vacation in a year and a half so am feeling a bit burnt out and looking forward to having my whole family together in Florida for two weeks at Christmas.

In the meantime, I'm spending way too much time in Final Fantasy online where I can take my life frustration out on beating up desert goblins and other monsters.

 

[Feathers in Hair]

Melody, I *loved* FFXI! May I ask what race(s) your characters are? I was a Mithra named Ieara, but had to quit when I no longer had internet access. (Desert goblins managed to kill me... oh, about 5 times. )

Taru and I'm a white mage, level 26 only. I'm working on my blm subjob right now. My 13 year old son and I party in the badlands together <g>

 

[Shadow Wolf]

I've been trying to play FFXI. I have dialup and it takes days for me just to download the playonline updates, not to mention game patches.

 

[Feathers in Hair]

Yay! I love the Tarus! Do you roleplay the 'accent', as well? When I was in character, I'd invarrriably find a way of typing in this naturrre, hehee. (That would be wonderful to party together with a family member!) When I was there, White Mages would never have trouble finding parties, since they were extremely valuable. (I was a Thief, with a Monk subjob, up until I was finally able to become a Dragoon. The moment when I called my dragon for the first time still lives as one of my proudest game moments. *grin*)

Luke, I don't envy your task. Even with DSL, getting all the Online content was a chore that lasted about a day, and I'm sure there's even more files today than there was then.

Ouch...dialup. Is it even possible to access without DSL?
