SATISFACTION;

Topher Clarington. Twenty-three. Will give a more detailed introduction when I'm not occupied. “People aren't either wicked or noble. They're like chef's salads, with good things and bad things chopped and mixed together in a vinaigrette of confusion and conflict.” ― Lemony Snicket

I'm off work tomorrow.

[abjko-xx]

I am, I’m just not used to it.

[topherotomy]

Ah. Does your current job not offer you much time off?

[theashelycrawford]

You know that is a good point. Sometimes peoples minds are odd places to get into. I like the way that you think.

[topherotomy]

Very odd. I feel for those who might actually have the ability to read minds. Seems like it would cause more trouble than good. Any mental-related powers..

[itsjackweston]

The garage called.

I got the job and, while it’s not that surprising… I’m all the more grateful to have a chance to make money. Now I just have to hope my interview at the college tomorrow goes well and then I should, hopefully, be set.

[topherotomy]

Congratulations, Jack. Here's hoping everything else goes well.

[abjko-xx]

I'm off work tomorrow.

I wonder how bad that’ll mess up my day’

[topherotomy]

You're not looking forward to a day off?

[theashelycrawford]

Oh exactly, it is like they have a sixth sense or something. It is fascinating really, sometimes I wish I could understand them…but then again I just don’t know if I want to.

[topherotomy]

It might be best that we don't. When it comes to my own father, for example, I don't think I could handle what goes on inside of his head.

[marry-me-blaine]

So he’s all up on your case about that, huh?

What was your answer?

[topherotomy]

Mhm.

I told him I didn't know. That went over wonderfully.

[theashelycrawford]

And it is just wonderful when they finally seem interested in what you are doing, huh? May be the best part.

[topherotomy]

Only when it affects them in some way, shape or form. It's actually really funny, don't you think? How peoples minds work? Especially in families.

[marry-puck-deactivated20150115]

So he wants kiddies from you? Is he a decent dude at least?

[topherotomy]

Basically. He's.. very career driven, hard-working, definitely has a very strong will and resolve. I guess it would depend on your definition of decent.

[theashelycrawford]

Well those are just the best kind, aren’t they?

[topherotomy]

Absolutely. Wish he'd call again, in fact.

[finndiddyhudson1x1-blog]

hmm that is very odd.. Do you two get along at all? I know I do with mine.. but some people down with theirs.

[topherotomy]

We barely argue, but our views on a fair amount of things differ. It's good that you get alone with yours, though. It imagine it's important.

[marry-sofia]

Well it shows you he’s still here for you and loves you, I don’t know the story and maybe he does a terrible job at showing it, but its something I guess. 

Dad was always around, just with three girls it was hard I guess, he never seemed to have time for me. 

[topherotomy]

Mm. Hopefully things will change over time. I imagine it must've been difficult, but still possible to give you all attention. Do you talk to him at all?

[marry-me-blaine]

That is strange indeed…. did he have a reason to call?

[topherotomy]

Besides asking if I'd found anyone yet marriage worthy yet, I don't think so.

[rosieduval-deactivated20140817]

I’m sure he had something important to talk about.

And wasn’t it nice to talk to you father after so long?

[topherotomy]

Nothing I haven't heard before, multiple times.

There was no real point to the conversation, but it wasn't extremely unpleasant. It was just.. mundane, for the most part.

[marry-sofia]

Well at least he remember you’re still around

[topherotomy]

Part of me was hoping he'd forgotten.

Is it.. the opposite in your case?

[quarterbck]

I have never tried those, but I definitely will. 

[topherotomy]

You won't regret it. That, and 'raw' chips. You can get them at most stores, in the health food section.

[pandora-mulciber]

When I call my parents it seems like they don’t pick up the phone.

[topherotomy]

That's even stranger. Are they fairly busy people?

[marry-puck-deactivated20150115]

So you’re not close with your dad? Maybe he just wanted to check in, see if he was going to be getting grandkids any time soon.

[topherotomy]

Not really. Good God, not even close. That I'm putting off as long as possible. Though it was one of the primary reason he called.
