Who: natalie goodman
Broadcast: yes!
Action: on the pathstone, if you want to know why she's up at a ridiculous hour of the night
When: 5/25 during an aforementioned ridiculous hour

we're still stuck on this poison shithole and everyone hates it so let's talk about something that doesn't 100% suck for once okay?

what's the first thing you're going to do when you make it home and out of the void of space

It's called thinking positively, Ms. Smartass. And even if I had proof I'm not stupid enough to say something on the network. (I don't have proof)

It might be the best school in the country but that doesn't necessarily mean it's the best for what you want to do, which you said you weren't sure about yet.

Shut up, don't be so negative.

It's never too late to look, though. Or write your applications and do whatever else is required to be accepted. A later start isn't a bad thing, it just gives you more time to do what you have to.

What if I say please?

Do they only accept them once a year? You could always go somewhere else for the first year to get some of the lower level classes out of the way.

Pretty please?

I completely forgot about the full ride thing. That's stupid.

Do programs like that require internships at some point? Or something similar? You could always spend that year getting experience of some kind.

Of course. Should I brace for sarcasm?

It doesn't sound snotty.

Is it a cheating answer to say I'm a teacher - or will be - so I'm a little biased?

It might sound corny or nerdy but whenever people talk about going on to college past high school I want to encourage it. I mean, it might also be because I went to school in the 50s so it's a different time, but getting an education is important. And music is an entirely different entity in that respect, because it seems like you're doing something you love, too. So why wouldn't I care?

I'm a nerd, I think I'm weird by default.

That makes sense, though. Sorry if it was weird, but I like hearing about these kind of things.

Even then. I have my pessimistic moments too.

I wouldn't say I turn it off. But I'm not nearly as optimistic as some of the people here.

Well for one, you caught me on a good day.

But I tend to expect the worst rather than hoping for the best a lot. Not a very optimistic outlook.

Because "going home" is the only thing I'm not pessimistic about.

Do as I say, not as I do.

There's a lot going on back home and I need to get back to it. Good stuff, mostly. But I have to believe it'll happen, for more than just my own reasons.

[hmm, this is getting a little too personal for him to be talking about openly, so he switches over to private]

What those things mean do. I'm not the only one here invested in those things, either. I try to keep positive about it for someone else's sake as well as my own.
