Roll Call 64

I'm hungry and I have a house of junk food right now. Must resist cheesecake.

I have a house full of junk food too. I don't even feel like having any. Except for the ice cream.

Did anyone go to the chat? I didn't even know there was one tonight. Not that I can anyway, with not knowing my password. I wish they wouldn't require the password to get into chat.

I've been thinking of my book and the main character, Daniel Daedalus. It's a unique story, but I want to show how serious philosophy can be. I'm going to put this as a post WW3 setting. That way the conversations aren't about putting one's head in the clouds.

Now it's 10 years afterwards and I'm surrounded by men who've seen horrible things and now questioning where things went wrong. It's not just about that, but many topics included. I've got this quote that aIl remembered from All Quiet on the Western Front. my brother in law can tell me more about his experiences in war...

I'm glad I waited to put my book in lyrical mode of writing until the story matures more. This will help the dialogues and Ill be able to knit together an ever more mature, serious work. What do you ladies and lads think? Any thoughts?

The voices are back...
I just wish they'd shut up.

I wish I could explain myself better here, but I really can't.

Ody, I think that's great. I think it's important to allow people to experience the importance of philosophy. Setting it post-war is a good way to do that. It reminds me of a proverb from Ecclesiastes, that says that it's better to go to the house of mourning rather than the house of feasting. It sounds odd, but it's pointing to the fact that people are going to be weighing the gravity of life more at a funeral, than at a party. I also have a strong affinity for war stories, as my grandpa was a POW in WW2. I also think that it's good you're not rushing it, so that you can keep perfecting it.

Work was brilliant today. It was fast paced, with a party of 100 early in the evening to start us off. At one point, I yelled, "Hey!!" at the top of my lungs at the head chef to get his attention. It worked and everyone was stunned to hear me raise my voice. I ended up closing and didn't even mind because the expositer actually wanted me to. I cleaned the grill and it came out beautifully, well, as far as I'm concerned. I was so pumped that I didn't mind getting marinated in dumpster trash at the end. That was my fault really. I wanted to prove that I could haul trash cans just as well as any dude. I felt a bit like Icarus afterwards. But it was a great night all in all.

I've been sitting here for about 2 hours or more. I wish I could talk with folks at normal hours of the day. Hearts to all of ya.

Hey Door, I'm glad you had a good day at work for the most part

Im up early.

Morning! Hope everyone is having a good day. I just got up a bit ago so j haven't decided what I'm doing today.

Hello all! Having coffee. I got up late.

Morning...

My mood is fairly bleak today for some reason... perhaps because I was looking up people I went to high school with on FB & they all seem to be getting married or having kids etc.

I feel like I've achieved FA with my life really... and I'm not exactly sure I'm going to achieve much in the future... I went for my walk & was basically thinking negative thoughts the whole time, even had some suicidal ideation.

Anyway, to take my mind of the ****** thoughts, I decided to look in to the logistics of getting a cat. Gives me something to plan & work towards...

I know I'd really like a Burmese because they are meant to be affectionate cats but the downside to that is they might not be as well suited to being left alone whilst I was working. Then of course there's the fact getting a kitten of any breed probably wouldn't work because they need a lot of attention to begin with anyway. That leads me to the conclusion that I'd probably be best to rehome an adult cat.

I think my Sister has got all her cats (4 of them, 5 if you count one that died) that way. 3 of them are/were great cats... but 2 are a bit timid for my liking. Looking up the places that rehome cats though they seem to describe their temperament plus you can go meet them first anyway, so I guess it's not as much a case of pot luck getting a cat suited to you.

I figure it's do-able in my flat....it's not big but I think there's enough space. I read something that said it's less about how big your apartment is & more to do with things like having windowsills, places to sleep & jump on etc. I might need a bit of planning on where to put a litter tray, cat scratcher & bed but I'm sure I could figure it out.

I looked it up & there is a vet not too far from me. There is also a cattery (or "pet resort" as they call it... ) that actually do a collect/deliver service... which would be ideal for me since I don't drive.

Overall, definitely something that's possible. I suppose it could happen as early as Easter next year if I get a stable job by then. I'm assuming I'd be able to afford a cat on even a basic salary but I guess I'd have to figure that out.

yesss get a cat!!! im an advocate for everyone getting cats!! i would suggest adopting one as there are so many cats without homes. as far as their temperament , it can change. my cat used to be feral and was nuts when i first got him. ive had him almost 2 yrs and now he is a big baby. he will lay o me and purr, he loves me. so i think a lot of it is patience and consistently being affectionate to the cat so they learn its ok.

A cat is a wonderful idea! My cat was a feline mutt, but very affectionate and sweet. Yes, you can definitely leave them alone while you go to work. I got my cat as a tiny kitten back in the 70s. I hope you're feeling better now, Loial. I would never go to a class reunion even if I looked good, just because I'd feel so left out in terms of having a family of my own.

ETA: I only mentioned reunions because I don't do Facebook.

Did my makeup, needed a new profile pic for Facebook
