How've You Been?

[ArisFlackerbee]

It's been so long since we've all been together, I miss you all! Tell me a bit about what's going on in your lives.

Here's what's new in mine:

As most of you know, I got engaged this summer, to the love of my life, and fellow dork of all trades. Here's what we recently did for Halloween.



This year I also left my job at the church after working there for two and a half years, and have returned to the legal world, working for Holland & Hart, a very large firm that takes very good care of its employees. I went to the right place, and I hope to be here, successfully and happily for many years to come. Still currently a legal assistant, but in the next year or so (after Sara and I get married and get a new house), I'm going to get my paralegal certificate and continue to move up.

I still do website design/social media/video editing for a handful of clients, two recurring social media clients and one every few months that I do video editing for that pays very well. I enjoy being able to continue my passion for the interwebs and video and also get paid for it.

I miss gaming and I miss marathons so much, and it's always on my mind to try to come up with the next marathon idea, or bringing Mariothon back. However, with a wedding on the way, a new house, possibly children...I can't say for sure when a major marathon would happen. But do know it's still on my mind and Mariothon will return at some point. I just can't say for sure when.

Other than that, it's the daily grind and continuing to adjust to domesticated life with my lady and our dog and cat. We are very happy and very busy. I met someone who speaks busy as well as I do...so in that and many other ways, we are perfect for each other.

I miss and love all of you so much, and I can't wait to hear what you've been up to!

~Forever Your Andy <3

P.S. Sauce, I expect at least a paragraph of no less than 200 words, COHERENT, INTELLIGENT, and ORIGINAL. No copypastas, no quotes, just your words about what you've been up to. Oh, and no one word repeated 200 times. I'm watching you.

[Sauce]

I've been chillin'.

P.S. Don't tell me what I can and can't do.

I'm in my final year of school before college and I feel like my life is in shambles and it pains me to get out of bed in the morning sweet Jesus someone help me

But other than that, there's a new lady in my life by the name of Elysse but unfortunately because we're both very busy with school all the time and with her working on the weekends, we don't get many chances to spend time together, but I'm determined to not let that stop us.

School has me stressed up to my eyeballs as it is my final year and the Irish education system is biased and unfair, and most of the stress comes from my teachers, not the subjects, which is not okay.

About June last year I started to play TF2 Competitively (9v9, 6v6 and to a lesser extent 4v4 formats) and due to time restraints, interests in other areas and generally not enjoying the game as I once did, I decided to give up playing it long term and probably only play once or twice a month if a friend needs me now. It was fun while it was fun. I do however have more respect now for Sports athletes and eSports "athletes" as I see now just how much time and dedication it requires to shine in your field.

My sister and her fiancé were recently evicted from their house and have had to move back into their individual childhood homes. Of course, my sister was the one who has the most stuff and primary ownership of the dog, so all her stuff and her dog are with us now. His name is Snoop and he is a small, black pug. They still plan on getting married, but a place to live together is more important at the moment.

That's about all that's been going on, other than Elysse there's not much excitement about. Give me four months till my exams start and I'll update you on how much I want to die
Love you all 5eva and always

I work a dead end job that has me work from 4 in the morning to 10 pm at night depending on the shift. Recently I've saved enough to go back into school and been applying for the requirements like my cpr card and later this month I need to see a doctor for multiple tests but besides that I've been trying to move on in my life and find my center of who I am and to find my purpose on this earth. I believe going into the medical field I'm taking a step closer to this goal but at the same time there is a level of uncertainty to this event. Also I've been trying to stream more games and I just bought the whole telltale collection, rocket league, and tales of zestiria RIP in peace wallet and to the 49ers may tomsula be replaced next year.

[PoofyOddish]

I LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH <3

Andee - I STILL NEED TO MEET SARA. I HAVE BEEN AWFUL ABOUT SEEING YOU GUYS because lmao after work and school i want to go home and die. And you can take your Holland and you can take your Hart and tell them to bang each other DORSEY4LYFE.

Banjeeeeeee - YOU GOT THIS, LITTLE BROTHER. Seriously. I can't imagine what you're going through, but I know you can do it because you are brilliant as hell and I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOU AND YOUR LITTLE GIRLFRIEND SO CUTE.

Bry - I'm so proud that you're saving up to get back into school, good for you <3 I know you work so hard AND IT'S ALL GOING TO PAY OFF.

My life right now:

lmao.

So, I'm still working at Dorsey. I've been working here two and a half years now, but I'll have been a legal assistant for two years in February. I work for the best people in the world, they are without a doubt my work family. They're the only reason I still work at Dorsey. I support three biochem patent attorneys and one electrical engineering attorney, and they are all my bbys (well, the EE attorney doesn't know it yet since he's a new addition, but he'll learn!). I also do side work in the firm as a marketing assistant, and I actually recently planned an event for one of our trademark partners (Andee - it's Charlene). The event is next week AND I AM SO NERVOUS BECAUSE I HAVE TO RUN THE EVENT.

I'm still in school, I got my associate's in the spring (in general studies) and I'm working on my bachelor's at CU Denver right now in Economics with a minor in math and legal studies. After I graduate, I'm looking into law school. I want to study animal law, which is actually a really, really cool emerging area.

I do a bit of volunteer work too. I'm a Feline Behavior Specialist at a local animal shelter, and I'm on the education outreach team for Pop Culture Classroom, which is the nonprofit behind Denver Comic Con SO THAT STUFF IS FUN.

I'm currently single as a pringle, and I'm on dating sites but really it's just to talk to people. I'm done dating for a while (I KNOW I SAY THAT EVERY TIME) because I just don't have time for it. Plus, I'm a mess, so I really don't want to over complicate things by bringing in another person.

Oh, and I'm transitioning into becoming a vegetarian. It's not as hard as I thought it would be.

[ArisFlackerbee]

And you can take your Holland and you can take your Hart and tell them to bang each other DORSEY4LYFE.

Bang Holland. Get Hart.

Vegetarian huh? Nice!

I love how busy we all are, but I miss everyone the same.

My life has mainly consisted of Working and School. Traveled a bit this year. One good trip and one bad trip. Good trip was to Texas to see my family there and to be there for my cousin's wedding. Hadn't seen my family down there in 10 years so it was great to catch up with everyone. Bad trip was two months ago when I had to go to Seattle and see my Grandmother, Margie, before she died. She passed away after a 5 year battle with Cancer. My parents moved to Arkansas this year so this is the first time I have lived in a different state then my parents. My brother's still live in Junction, but with my Aunt and Uncle moving to Boston now I don't have any family close right now.

I started a YouTube channel but it has been on hiatus as I didn't really have the time to devote to it. I have had plans on bringing it back and would love everyone's support (Shameless plug, I know). Megathon is also still in the works (again I would love everyone's support with that).

Not really much else is going on in my life. I lead such a exciting existence.

I know that feeling, Jordan. Ive been single for going on 8 years. I met a girl a few years ago but I don't really call us dating since we never really went out on an official date.

This is lame but okay.

So, in June my peeps were all "Yo Sauce go get some MTG cards, yo." Did that, neat. Going home one night from playing. Get pulled over for a light being out above my plates. Never throw away old papers, couldn't figure out which one was the current one to give and apparently that made me suspicious. He's all "Get out of the car scrub I'm searching this beast." So he calls up this backup dude who asks me all these personal questions and I'm like "Chill dude, I only agreed to this because I have nothing better to do. You don't even have a warrant lolz." The other guy comes back from his quest of pointless searching and says "Yo dude you wanna play MTG sometime." I say "lolwtf no bai" and left.

4th of July comes around and some cousins I never talk to are like "YO FAM COME WATCH FIREWORKS AT OUR PLACE WE'RE COOKING." Free food, I'm in. I show up and awkwardly just chill because I don't know these people until someone tells me where the food is. I ate three steaks and left to go to see the fireworks in STL.

I'm sure August and September were relevant but I don't care about what happened in frikkin August or September so why would you? I don't know why you would care about any of this nonsense. Although I did meet a cool person in that time span.

This is me through most of October. We beat the Bears though so that's cool.
Anyway, Halloween comes around and I get to wear the costume I had planned since July. 
<----The Costume.
Went to a party, played Rock Band, and ended the night with some Cards Against Humanity because we're terrible people.

All I can think about in November is about all the food I'm gonna eat at the end of the month. Kinda like this.
Then I got to watch the Lions eat Eagle and the Bears beat the Packers in Green Bay on Brett Favre night while Bart Starr was in attendance. Best Thanksgiving of my life.

December sucks, Christmas sucks, and I missed frikkin New Years because I fell asleep at like 11:45 and woke up at 12:15.

[ArisFlackerbee]

omg sauce I love you. I want a monthly update all the time. This is brilliant.

[Sauce]

No.

[PoofyOddish]

Plz sos, that was fantastic

[agentgfy]

SINCE ANDEE'S BEING A BUTT IM WRITING A DUMB PARAGRAPH, HURR LIFE IS NICE LALALA

In all honesty, hey everyone! Long time no talk. Life has been an interesting thing the past year, things went from being really shitty with the whole mother's boyfriend situation, all the way to having a wonderful time, and then going back to the shitter. Finally though, things have settled down to a point where I can breath and just work my ass off XD I've spent the last year just mainly working and taking a break from school, getting rid of the crap that's weighing me down and making sure that I'll be ready when school comes along, I'm heading back on February 7th, but until then, I've got some free times to do some silly shit. So as we all know,

THAT MEANS GLORIOUS PAPERS PLEASE, at least for a while, I dunno what I'll stream! I'll stream something, perhaps some other games I've picked up, let me know what games you want me to play and I'll probably play them at some point, if you don't though, I may just get sucked back to my Dotaland and never return... ever... I'm going loopy now, I'm stopping this before it gets out of hand, have fun you all! And enjoy the papers!
