the happiness, excitement, and general contentedness thread

[odontophobia]

Dominos fucked up my order and, thanks to it being college hand-egg playoff day, they couldn't get a replacement one out to me. To make up for it, my next three large pizzas (no restriction on toppings) are free.

winner of the thread.

Phase one of the move, success.

We're playing a gig tonight at a bar that actually gets a good draw on its own.

Time to impress.

How'd it go?

Sometimes I forget how great a good conversation and witty banter with another person can be. Makes my day every single time.

Also getting a new tattoo this week. It's been wayyyyy too long.

It was probably our best live set yet in terms of energy/tightness of the performance. And the bar wasn't totally dead, so it was definitely a success.

Rad, if you guys are ever looking at playing in Minneapolis let me know! I can try and find you a venue/give you all a place to crash

Finished my bachelor in philosophy. Got half a year of absolute freedom ahead of me. No responsibilites in sight. FUCK YEAH.

well, fuck. congratulations dude

Thanks dood. I don't think it has really dawned on me yet, that I'm actually finished, you know? But the constant feeling that there is stuff I need to do is slowly fading.

Congratulations, mate! I wasn't aware you were that close to finishing! Otherwise I might've asked uncomfortable questions about your career prospects, just to be an old fart!

Don't worry -- it comes back.

That's rad, dude. Good for you.

Thanks guys! I usually tell the same joke when people ask me about my career: "I did this to be able to ask: "Why do you want fries with that?"" Funny the first time, then progressively sadder.

For real though, I'm doing almost alright as a freelance music journalist, so if I manage to get some part-time work in the music industry, I'll do alright. Or I'll get a masters degree, cuz the world needs more philosophers to... think and shit.

best/worst job ever alumni represent!

Hell yes. Lots of free concerts and sweet working hours versus people hating me. The trick is to learn to cherish the hate. Let it consume you. Working in the print press is fun though, seems like we have a bright future ahead of us.

Congrats dude! Keep yourself busy with music and find work you enjoy. Every day of my job I wish I was in school and reading books and writing papers instead of making sales calls and powerpoints. Hold out as long as you can for the right job. I've got a lot of friends still in school and I envy them during the day but at night when they have homework I feel amazing

That said, I'm much more at peace with my shitty job, it's boring as fuck but hardly demanding and I can just coast through days. I'm going to need something a bit more fulfilling if I'm going to spend 50 hours a week at it though.

[Eivind August]

Thanks man! Yeah, I'm gonna hold on until I find something I actually want to do. I'm still young, so I've got that going for me. Gonna spend the next 6-7 months just focusing on music and writing, trying to finish an album and a couple of sci-fi novels I've been working on.

After that, I'll probably realize the need for a real job, be depressed for a while, and become a high school teacher.

High school teacher may be a bit more frustrating, but sounds way more gratifying than what I'm doing. Just harness the excess energy in to something that isn't watching tv/movies and playing video games. I did that too much on my break between school and work.

Where did you study in Norway? I ask because the school I graduated from always had like 30 Norwegian exchange students (quite a lot considering my graduating class was around 400, small school).

Yeah, I say high school teacher because I only need a year of pedagogy to qualify.

Studied at the Univeristy of Oslo. Cool environment, great place to meet likeminded people. I wasn't really that social though, spent my freetime with a couple of close friends being a stoner, watching movies, anime and listening to records. What did you study?

My internal alarm for using the word "I" too much just went off. Anybody else feeling happy on this fine day?
