A Guy Came Into My Job And Threw Tootsie Rolls At Me Today (for No Discernible Reason). A Few Minutes

A guy came into my job and threw tootsie rolls at me today (for no discernible reason). A few minutes after he left, he came back and threw more tootsie rolls at me.

Sir. Even if I wanted to eat this, I wouldn’t. I do not trust candy that can be easily unwrapped and rewrapped from anyone. Please stop asking me if I don’t like the candy and stop staring. I’m not going to.

Ah... Customer service.

I’ve gotten my tabletop group to agree to be Mafia members using Chronicles of Darkness rules. I’m going to add supernatural time travel elements because I want to.... and even though the characters are in Nevada, I’m going to pop them back and forth between time periods.

I warned them I would have Mafia characters be in it, but not in what context. Now I have to make character sheets. I’m trying to decide Attribute and Skill tiers at the moment. Everything gets divided into primary, secondary, and tertiary (with points being allotted accordingly).

Attributes are:

Mental (intelligence, wits, resolve) Physical (strength, dexterity, stamina) Social (presence, manipulation, composure)

Skills are:

Mental (academics, computer, crafts, investigation, medicine, occult, politics, science) Physical (athletics, brawl, drive, firearms, larceny, stealth, survival, weaponry) Social (animal ken, empathy, expression, intimidation, persuasion, socialize, streetwise, subterfuge)

The characters I am using right now are Sam, Paulie, Tommy, Vito, Joe, and Henry. I think, at the moment, I have them as such: (going primary, secondary, tertiary)

Sam:   -Attributes (Mental, Physical, Social)   -Skills (Mental, Physical, Social)

Paulie:   -Attributes (Physical, Social, Mental)   -Skills (Physical, Mental, Social)

Tommy:   -Attributes (Physical, Mental, Social)   -Skills (Physical, Social, Mental)

Vito:   -Attributes (Social, Physical, Mental)   -Skills (Physical, Social, Mental)

Joe:   -Attributes (Physical, Social, Mental)   -Skills (Social, Physical, Mental)

Henry:   -Attributes (Mental, Social, Physical)   -Skills (Social, Mental, Physical)

If anyone thinks it should be changed, please do. The attribute assignments for primary, secondary, and tertiary themselves are repetitive (even if the individual attributes and skills won’t be). Essentially, they start with one dot in every attribute stat no matter what, but they get additional dots to assign to each stat (wits, manipulation, etc.) for all of the ones in their grouping. For attributes, primary gets 5 more, secondary gets 4 more, tertiary gets 3 more. With skills, none of them start with dots and penalties are used for any stat you roll that you don’t have a dot in (-1 for physical and social, -3 for mental). For skills, primary gets 11, secondary gets 7, and tertiary gets 4. Right now, I’m just trying to decide if these ratings are correct before I start really getting into it.

its 2 am where i am and i started sleepily writing for the next chapter of eating alone.

just so you guys know, my first thought was: i hope i make someome cry. tomorrow im going to wake up and probably wonder what the fuck i was thinking.

there you go tomorrow brain

Sorry for the lack of update on eating alone. I know it’s been a few weeks. I’ve just not being doing well headspace wise (I am receiving help, it’s just not fixing stuff; you know how it is) and I am also overwhelmed by school now that it’s finals season. I promise I’ll get back to it

Finals are here

I’ve failed three out of my five finals (well, two. I’m just really sure about the other one), one of which dropped me a letter grade for a class. Just finished one I felt good about today, but I felt good about the last two, both of which are the two that I know for sure I’ve screwed the pooch on. I’ve already been pulling C’s this semester, so that’s murdering my soul. I’ve felt pretty numb this whole time, but I only have one final left and I can already feel the depression deciding it’s ready to come play. Despite the fact that I’ve actively been seeking help with my mental health this semester, this is probably the second worst school semester I’ve ever had (grades and depression wise), made worse because I’ve actually been trying. Especially because I did decently well last semester, considering that I had not been in school for a year and was coming back to online classes. I just don’t know.

I’m really fighting to study for my last final. It’s in genetics. I really would just rather play video games, but I want some sort of letter grade to pull me up this semester. I really hope some of the professors curve their grades like the mentioned they were going to. 

I really hope they don’t make me retake physics.

I’m not sorry (but I am; but I’m not).
