What do Cantrians do in the real world?

[joo]

Or, if not that, send an undergrad willing to write a PhD thesis for Twix bars and sexual favours?

Would the Twix bars be involved in the sexual favours?

[Snickie]

Let's get this over with.

I'm fifteen, going to be a sophomore in high school. I'm in the band and play too many instruments to bother to count. I'm also in too many advanced-placement classes than what's healthy. I live with my parents (obviously). I have three cats (my avatar is of the middle cat, Snick*, who is, in fact, female) and a dog. Uhh.... I have yet to get a boyfriend, and I don't envision that happening anytime soon. As if that matters. But anyway.
And yes, I am very aware that I pretty much gave away one of my chars. But whatever.

My dad introduced me to Cantr no more than two months ago. I also play The West, Echo Bazaar, and very rarely I will get back on Edgebee to play Sorcery Quest (but only often enough to not be deleted). Other things I do in real life are play Cantr, band, internet, music, Cantr, Facebook, text, play Cantr on my phone, and procrastinate on everything boring. Which is what I'm doing right now, actually. But don't tell my dad that!

Aaaaand that is my life in a nutshell. Not very interesting, I know.

I'm not sure how your Father can realistically expect you to maintain your current level of scholastic achievement and play Cantr at the same time.

[Alladinsane]

What are you trying to tell him Doug?

Something. No actually someone, tells me that the two will not interfere with each other. 15 is that wonderful age when drivers permits hang in the balance, and mean ol Dad is just resourceful enough to hold that kind of thing as a bargaining chip.

At least that is what I hear.

The other possibility is that she could toss the education thing out the window, live with her parents for the next 30yrs playing cantr daily while eating soft serve ice cream and sushi rolls. Oh wait...that isn't a possibility after all.


Now I'm hungry.

*rolls eyes at Allad*
I actually like that idea. Ice cream and roe, all day long, and Cantr to go with it? Yes!
*angels sing and a golden light shines down on Allad's last paragraph, except for the sentence stating that it is not a possibility. Darkness is cast over that statement*

I think he didn't realise I'd become so addicted so quickly. But it is summer here right now, which means school isn't a very big issue at the moment. Unfortunately, I am going to have to learn to cope with being on Cantr maybe only ten minutes a day versus ten hours a day once school does start back up in less than a month. But I will survive. Somehow.

I'm a high school teacher, so in a sense, I can sympathize.

[Alladinsane]

I think I sympathize more with you! I have seen some of these HS kids, mostly a good group in our area, but depending on the demographic...I also admire you.

...oh...don't get your hopes up snick, you have just blown the cover of another one of my characters to those who read closely enough. So I see some serious chores in your future, my car needs washed for starters.

Okay, so much for a hijacked thread.

[Snickie]

Carwashing I'll do. I don't care how hot it is outside (in fact, the warmer the better!).
Just give me a good spray nozzle. That hose we have out on the side is atrocious so far as water pressure.


(Whoa. I just reread this as I was editing and thought that "carwashing" said "Cantrwashing". I must be an addict! *gasp* )

....And I just forgot what I was going to say next. I'm sure I'll remember it once I've posted this and have navigated far away from this page. *nods*

[raspberrytea]

I did AP classes while playing Ragnarok Online and Cantr and I still managed to make 4+ on all of mine! It's possible! You just learn to survive on very little sleep. :D

[gejyspa]

ice cream and sushi at the same time?! Sounds gross! (Do kids today still use that term?) Anyway, don't worry, Snickiedoo. Maybe you'll grow up to have a nice job like mine where they let you play Cantr at work, and you get to yell at your kids to stop playing on the computer and go to bed (probably harder to enforce once everyone is brainjacked in, but what the hey?), while you stay and play Cantr to the wee hours of the morning.


In the meantime, go to bed young lady!!

--gejyspa, who has kids older than you....

[rain21]

I am starting my first year of law school in a few weeks.

I usually use the terms "disgusting" and "revolting", as opposed to "gross." And I am smart enough to know that flyingfish roe takes up too much room in the mouth for ice cream to fit in there also. Don't worry; I'm making up a schedule as I type.

Unfortunately, the career path I seem to be taking doesn't involve the inclusion of Cantr at work. It's very sad; I don't know what I'll do. I'm determined not to click that horrible X on the bottom of the page for almost anything. I don't even know if I'm going to have kids, either.

And can you give me five good, legit rasons I should go to bed at eight when I am not inclined to be anywhere important for seventeen hours from now?

[kronos]

You can always fit in Cantr!

[Snickie]

True. I misworded. I mean that I will probably not be able to play Cantr at work. I will always make time for it, though, even if it is in the wee hours of the morning.

[n0p0etry]

I'm a 21 year old college student studying to become a secondary school math teacher. A good friend of mine got me addicted to Cantr, and so that actually takes up a decent amount of time. :p She tried to get me involved a couple of years ago and I didn't really give it a chance, now I can't stop! Other than school I work (about to switch jobs since I'm transferring schools, and financial aid = no more work-study) and do a bit of volunteering on the side. Keep quite busy.
