I Live!!!!

[ChibiStarJumper]

Hello everyone!

ChibiStarJumper aka Meg here! Yes, I am indeed alive.

Let's rewind to Late May, shall we? Due to various circumstances, I was...invited to move out of the house. ^_^ So, after packing a bunch of things, I stayed with my friends Ryan and Indi at Ryan's dad's house for a week or two.

Then, we moved into Ryan's old studio apartment, taking on a fourth roommate, Adam. I was still employed at Stone Mountain Park, but only making about $250 every two weeks. (shitty hours) The rent for the apartment was $488/month. Bills were approximately $400 a month. So essentially, we were all supposed to pay $222 a month. Ryan, through the help of various contacts and his father was able to cover the bills for the time that we were there. Indi and Adam didn't have jobs. So, almost the entirety of my paychecks were going to rent and food. The teensy remainder went to gas. I have never driven around town with the idiot light on so much as I did then.

We were supposed to be moving out into a three-bedroom apartment at the end of June when Ryan's lease was up, but Indi and Adam begged Ryan to renew the lease for another six month, and Ryan reluctantly complied. Indi and Adam swore that they'd take the apartment over. Indi walked all over me, used Adam's crush on her to turn him into her Bitch, and fought all the time with Ryan. Indi also stole plushies from my little brother Finn, from Ryan's mom and various other things too. (All plushies were returned by me.)

End of June, Ryan introduces me to his best friend Jon from High School. I fell in love and fell HARD. After a couple hours of talking, Jon asked me out. The attraction was mutual and quite strong. Jon drove up every weekend for two or three weeks from Warner Robins to visit me, and we talked on the phone every night.

Then, things escalated at the apartment and Ryan kicked Indi out. (Damn well deserved it too.) Adam followed Indi like a lovesick puppy. Adam had still promised us that he'd take over the apartment; Ryan and I had decided to move down to Warner Robins. Just as Ryan and I got approved for our house down here, Adam told us that he wasn't going to take it. Ryan and I frantically looked for people to take the apartment but no one would. Finally, we packed up everything and moved, screwing the lease and Ryan's credit in the process. (We couldn't do anything else. We couldn't afford that apartment anymore)

So, we spent the next two weeks, (starting August 5th), living down here at Jon's house. Jon started to get a little distant, which made me insecure, which made me clingy, which made Jon more distant, and the vicious cycle continues.

Finally, Ryan and I moved into our house, after picking up a new roommate, Aaron. Aaron is fucking awesome. Great guy. Great roommate. So, since then, I've been living here in Warner Robins, GA. Paying my own bills, car insurance, rent, everything.

I went to Dragon*Con and focused on getting myself back; I'd gotten so concerned with being what I thought Jon wanted that I lost me. I come back on Monday night, Jon comes over and dumps me. I cried a lot. It really fucking sucked. I have to go to work now, but I will finish said update on my life when I get home!

Love to all~

Welcome back. And not to be too much of a condescening grammar nazi dickhead, but paragraphs. Learn to love them. Makes reading easier.

[SUPERECWFAN1]

Thats a pretty wild story. I'm happy everything worked out in the end and that your move worked well. Having shitty roomates would suck. So whats the last ya heard of Adam ? He still following Indi around or has she used him up yet ?

[west3man]

Welcome back. And not to be too much of a condescening grammar nazi dickhead[snip]I knew you were eyeyballin' my job.


*waves @ Chibi* Sorry about the bad stuff, but happy about the good. Sounds like you made it to the other side a lil stronger.

Oh yeah. It ain' tover til it's over. Cliche? Yes. True? Also yes.

[Gaz]

Hiya! *waves dorkily* You don't know me, do you..?
Um, ask your mom, she thinks I'm cool, sorta...

Anyways, sorry to hear about the crappy housing/friends/boyfriend thing, and YAY! for new place and friend! *does dance of sympathetic happiness, a la Joss Whedon*

[darkkeeperjr]

welcome back! hope the bad times is over.

[cable guy]

welcome back!

[Pól Rua]

Welcome back, Meg-chan!
Dang. That sounds dang awful.
Yup. Gotta agree with SG.
The paragraphs are your friend.
Yes.

I leave you with some words of wisdom from Henry Jones, sr:
"We called the DOG Indiana!"

Welcome back.

[Paradox]

StoneGold shouldn't be hasty:

Welcome back. And not to be too much of a condescening grammar nazi dickhead, but paragraphs. Learn to love them. Makes reading easier.

I kind of liked it like that. Like she was rattling it all off in one breath. I know plenty of young girls that talk just like that. ;)

[ChibiStarJumper]

So, now for the stunning conclusion!

When we last left, Jon had just dumped me.

Major drama ensued. Now, Jon can't seem to make up his mind on whether he's still in love with me or if he can't stand the sight of me. To put this whole sitch in perspective....we work at the same place, we carpool to work, and he's my friggin' next door neighbor. I'm still very much in love with him, but just can't let go. Not for lack of trying.

Anyways, I've been working for a bank called BB&T, I'm a proof operator. I'm totally kicking butt ^_^. I've recently applied for Georgia State University and, provided I'm accepted, I'll be moving back to Atlanta in January. I've switched from Theatre to Art (Graphic Design) as my major. I'm also currently working on concept art for an upcoming card game called Trolls. ^_^ In addition to that, I'm copy-editing for my roommate, Ryan, who is writing a novel. My diet consists of four things: Coffee, Ramen Noodle Soup, Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwiches, and Fishsticks (which was just recently added). I have pains from malnutrition. Hopefully this will soon be remedied by my next paycheck. *sigh* Anyways, that's about it!

I haven't heard from Adam or Indi. As far as I'm aware, he's still her bitch.

That concludes the stunning CBR Special: Whatever Happened to Chibi?

I've danced with Joss Whedon.

You sir, are no Joss Whedon.

[StoneGold]

Much better with the paragraphs.

[JadeDragon]

Ah! Very nice. The art force runs strong in your family, yes?

Good luck young Chibi Star Jumper Meg Chan.

Sounds like a lot of stuff going on for you, but if you have the strength demonstrated by your mom and sister, Im sure you will come through all these things just fine.

Take care!~~~JadeDragon :)

[Pól Rua]

Good to hear there's some light at the end of the tunnel.
Man, you are busy. I hope everything comes good.

[Spike-X]

God, it's so stressful being a young girl. No wonder y'all develop eating disorders and stuff!

[DarkBlade]

I kind of liked it like that. Like she was rattling it all off in one breath. I know plenty of young girls that talk just like that. ;)

Sometimes she DOES talk like that. (Hell, I do too if I'm really excited.)

.. and then sometimes eeeeach seeentance and phrase is draaaaagged out... and

Heh, I better stop now.

MEGAN CHRISTINE!


Get with me on what your budget is for food, I can show you how to get some more nutritious stuff on the cheap. And at least take a friggan multivitamin.

[Gaz]

You sir, are no Joss Whedon.
Did he do the Dance of Joy? :D

[Jasper]

Meg! Glad to see you back. ~hugs~

Edit: and ya! you need more food. Rice and mixed veggies can be really good to add to that. That's what I survived off of when I was broke.

Kick her ass.


Anywho, welcome back, Meg. We actually met at Dragon*Con a couple times when you were running from one thing to another.

Good luck with college. You'll fit right in, what with already having the college-student diet.

[Perry Holley]

I'm gonna say your diet is pretty much better than mine. In fact I'll say you'll live longer. . Mine consists of this most mornings:


6am: Rise and shower. Early to work....

7:am : Stop at local McDonalds and eat country ham biscuit/tomato or Breakfast combo.

8:am-11:30am: Work as usual. Finish to get some sweets as I feel a bit tired and need a suger boost.

11:45am: Grab us all some donuts and pop. Drink and all. Back to work.


1:pm : Take another break with dad. We grab more junkfood ( even though he eats way healthier than me ) I grab a cheeseburger and fries. Ahhh Grease....gotta love it.


5pm-6pm : Come home and eat dinner here or if late grab yet another fast food meal.


Least ya can say you won't kell over anytime soon. Wierdly my family has a history of heart disease and heart attacks. I can't see why ? ;)

arent you concern for your health? ive worked for family practice and general practice doctors. a lot of their patiens are obese and being in this condition has led to health problems that could have been prevented at an earlier age

Not really. Trust me I'm not massively over-weight . More or less stocky and due to work and all during the summer I sweat a load. Thats my day on 75% of the days.

Odds are this winter when I have time off I'll be eating less and working out some. Thats how it usually goes for me. Plus working a job where I'm not burning so much up in sweat. ;)

One of my dads uncles was the skinnest guy you'd ever meet. My dad said he always lived off on a farm in Tennese and he'd come in some times to visit my grand dad ( my dads father).

Well one day he's outside choppin wood and then kells over! He has a heart attack and sadly passes that way. My dad said you'd never think it but the guy just passed away like that..choppin wood.

[Tadhg Adams]

There's more to health than weight. You should probably get a physical to at least find out your BP, cholesterol, and such.

Now I do admit most of my non-work days has me eating healthy 2 meals a day. Like Turkey Sandwiches on good bread. I used to work in a restraunt and thats pretty much the extent of what I would eat in a day. ( Looking at frying steak all day makes you hate it really.. ;) )

I think what really helped was the fact that working around food made me sick of it. I could handle 1 or 2 meals and go. I dropped a few pounds and all this way.

With work slowing down guys...I'm pretty much going down to my usual 2 meals of Turkey sandwiches. So I'm happy. I haven't had any major health problems. Except if ya count me gettin a swelled ankle last year. ;)

Plus I got a physical and blood pressure check last year when I went to the hospital for my ankle. Damn forgot all about it. They said everything checked clear for me. Nearly forgot about it. ;)

That doesn't surprise me. Some of the older people in my life are like that. Work hard untill you can't work anymore. I know my grandfather would have been happier dying that way instead of sick in bed.

[Perry Holley]

Beer, Ramen, PB&J, and fishsticks?Pizza
Tuna mac & cheese
Potted meat, cheese & mustard sandwiches
Ramen noodles
Store-brand kool-aid

[K'Nort]

I got all the way through college without ever eating Ramen just to see if I could.

Ate a lot of Minute rice and generic mac & cheese and Wonder Bread/Kraft Singles/Miracle Whip sandwiches though.

[SUPERECWFAN1]

So do I. I think I think If I didn't work mostly and could try for a million bucks , I could give Spurlock a run for his money. Odds are I'd die before I finished though.

Now that dude had a bad diet. I watched his movie and damnnnn. 3 square meals of McDonalds each day. No working or excercise at all. He nearly killed his liver in those 30 days ! :eek:
