Make looking for a job your job. During normal work hours, do several activities related to your job search. Apply to at LEAST two jobs per day. Do some networking and talk to people. When you apply to a place, follow up.
For my very first job, I applied at several entry level places. Then I would go back and talk to the manager. At one place, which ended up being my first job, I caught up with the general manager after checking a couple times. He grabbed my application and said let's go talk. He told me that with so many applications lately, he doesn't even look at them unless they follow up with him. We talked for a bit, which I guess was an impromptu interview, and he hired me on the spot. I went back that same day to start my first shift.
Could give more tips, but that'll do.

Being a vlogger

You need to say, "link is in the description below," and point down (with hands in frame) a lot. Also, at the end of each video, you must say, "don't forget to like, share, and subscribe."
Start up one channel a your main cash cow and upload a new video at least once a week. This should be based on a character you create and/or a recurring theme. After you get your first millionth view, make a video linking to your "other" channel where people can see you making daily vlogs as yourself so they can see more into your personal life. People will eat it up, and you'll get double the subs.

ATTN: pedos

How does it feel knowing that love will always be temporary for you and never fully achieved?
When you love your lolli, she is at her prime for you that day. Every day she is aging and every day she loses a piece of what it is that you love about her... innocence, youth, the trust of a child, dependence, underdeveloped physical and mental characteristics. You know the cheesy saying, "With every step love grows?" For you, with every step love fades.
As as a young person, the mind is not capable of understanding and forming romantic relationships at an adult level; love, if you will. As she ages, her love for you may grow if you didn't ruin her innocence to the point of being incapable of love. But that's just it, her innocence will become corrupted, her youth aged, her trust tainted, her dependence lessened, and she will develop. As her love grows, yours will fade.
Your love will always be temporary, as will be the things that you seek. You will never experience reciprocated love, for it will never mutually occur at the same time in the cycle. The sad irony of the pedo. How does it feel?

Aren't you on the top end of being a MOON PERSON yourself, Bill Krozby? All the panhandlers around here are older than me and failed at life.

Find something semi-rewarding that earns a paycheck. Or find a way to be satisfied with earning enough to afford what you want.
You just want to play video games? You need at least a basic place, electricity, an Internet connection, and your entertainment device(s) of choice. All of that costs money. Go out and earn it knowing what it will ultimately afford you to do, which should give you some satisfaction.

What a coincidence! I found $200+ worth of stuff sitting in the food court of the mall earlier.
Whoever left it there is such an idiot.
They are such a fucking idiot.
It wasn't junk either, I even found fucking prescription medicine too. Fuck.

I started outlining my thoughts and the overall story arc. Not too shabby. This might be an interesting experience, though it'll take a while. I guess it is more about word count, though writing quality is definitely a main factor. I'll aim for between 70,000 and 120,000 words. 90,000 words is a good sweet spot.
I went ahead and wrote my opening couple of pages. I'd say they are pretty... killer.

I work a 40+ hour job though, so my available time is somewhat limited. Is it better to comitt an amount of time or a quota of words?
What about organization? Do you outline your stuff perfectly, or just roughly, or not at all? I've read about the snowflake method, and I'm thinking a spreadsheet would help keep myself straight.

Solicitors

Solicitors bug the crap out of me. I'm talking about the door to door salesmen. Security systems. Insurance. Vacuum cleaners. Girl Scouts are cool, but everything else pretty much sucks.
Here I am, chillin at home, and I think to myself, "I really wish someone could come to my house uninvited and sell me something I didn't know I wanted or needed for a ridiculous price." ... said no one ever.
If I need something, I'll research it and figure out for myself what I need and how to get it. I don't want random people standing on my doorstep trying to get me to buy their crap and trying to make me feel uncomfortable for rejecting them. Get off my lawn, punk.
Have any of you ever solicited your crap door to door? If it isn't cookies and you aren't wearing merit badges and pig tails, I hope you re-evaluate your life choices.
