Let's update!
The job I had in December/January stopped giving me hours, yay! Seriously, no hours since like mid January... I don't think they need me. It was nothing malicious they just really don't need me, no nearly enough customers, I think...
Moving on, I may start working at Jimmy John's again; not the same one mind you (this one's a whole 2-3 miles away...) but the same franchise. I'll probably be working in-shop as they have plenty of drivers, but income period is good at this point. Hooray for past experience and the referral of a friend!
Other than that nothing major is going on, I think... I've been the GM (Game Master, think boss) of a table-top game for the past month and a half, that's been awesome. Two of my friends are engaged, though only one of those is recent. Confirmed I am in-fact an otaku (def: stays at home a lot hold-up in ones room doing "nerdy" things like reading manga and unable to socialize... wait, what's new about that?). Sleeping in a total random schedule--I keep staying up most, if not all, of the night on the interwebs (fact: there are multiple of those!).
On a different note I feel a lot more like myself as of late, less fake. I don't know if I've ever intentionally hidden my "true self," but I feel more true to myself. Warning: this entails many inside jokes being thrown in the middle of discussions, most of which only make sense to me because my mind went off on a tangent about ten minutes ago and it's impossible to trace it back by then. Like "Brians..." in a zombie voice; that seems like it would make sense except I didn't think of it on my own, I got it from Jeremy, who I think got it from Tomska (youtuber) who probably got inspired by someone else. Any topic or phrase that reminds me of any of these, or makes be think of them, or reminds me of something that then reminds me of them (or however man iterations occur before I think of them), or leads me to "Brains..." could possibly spawn this random line, or I might remember the line itself and laugh hysterically inside while a slight murmur escapes my lips and I beat it shamelessly to dust with a shoe (thanks for sticking that analogy in my brain [heh, "Brians..."] Zach). And yeah, inner-brain Inception (analogy->Zach->brain->brian->realizing thought in thought->wanting to put in->*reverse order* [and then the universe explodes]), go me.
Getting out of that monster of a paragraph ("Ha, he made self-referential humor! And broke the fourth-wall! Twice!"), I feel like I'm able of being myself more than I use to, that I'm less afraid to show my inner-self. I still have a lot to improve but I'm happy.
Ending this before I insert even more parentheses (and failing),
