I didn't think becoming an EMT was gonna be the easy way out of making something of myself, I mean... I know I crashed out of college really hard, but there was a lot going on. That's not ALL on me, right?

Still, the online preparation courses start tomorrow and wow, this is gonna be really intensive. I'm kinda looking forward to it but also pretty terrified right now. Just gotta keep reminding myself that I don't have to be the idiot hanging from a tree while everyone else does something useful.

Hey guys, uh... do you by any chance have any spare room? Or maybe we could look into getting something bigger if we all pool together, I have like zero places to live right now but I did get a job? Would you like a roomie or are you two happy by yourselves?

	Smart. Be prepared, like the G. I. Joe's or Boy Scouts or something. I don't know, I wasn't a member. I crashed a fighter jet. Lost an arm. Got a medical discharge cuz you can't fly with one arm. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I was a Boy Scout! I wasn't very good at it though. And then they decided to be kind of mean to certain groups so I didn't want to be involved anymore and - you didn't need to know all of this. That's... wow. What's plan B been for you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I thought they were always like that? Camping and bigotry. Wasn't that one of their badges? I'm pretty sure, because half my graduating class at the Academy said they were Eagle Scouts, and I think they got that by achieving a certain bigotry per week quota. I design planes for Boeing.

	Maybe that's why I was never good at it! I didn't fit their quota like at all. Oh cool! That was probably kind of an adjustment though, right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ya, I was not ambidextrous. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sorry, you probably don't want to talk about this. I'm not trying to be super dense either, I'm just... Did you ever move past it? Are you okay now? Or as okay as you're gonna be, I guess. I have another friend who lost an arm in the dreams (and it's translated here) but I figure it's different for everyone. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's rough! I really relate. I have VA services, rehab, I was doing fine. And then this stupid network took my prosthetic away and gave me a different one! I mean, I know I'd already lost the arm, but I didn't ask for a new prosthetic. That old was still my arm. It's weird. I know. Sorry. There's a lot of us disarmed by the network, apparently.

	Don't be sorry! You were all adjusted to that one and it was you and then the network went and changed it all up, I think I'd be freaking out too. Disarmed by the - oh, that was a joke. Hah, have you met Yang? I feel like she'd make a similar one. I'm just asking because, you know, it's not like I lost an arm, but some stuff has definitely happened.

	darkforcerising 2018-07-05 03:29 am UTC (link)
	That was a joke. Have you seen that meme of the guy using the hand 'restoring cream'? I want to meet him. It's my favorite. I haven't met your friend, yet, sorry. Has she met any others who've lost limbs because of the network? This place is a real trip. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	jaune_d_arc 2018-07-05 04:24 am UTC (link)
	I have definitely not seen that, but now I'm curious! I don't really know. Well, before you she was the only one on here I knew that it had happened to, actually. And I guess you didn't lose lose it but you still lost it so- yeah. My girlfriend woke up with dream stuff and pretty much nearly died in my arms, so that was fun. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sate your curiosity, Hand Restoring Cream That's intense. It sounds like you got help, though? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	jaune_d_arc 2018-07-05 06:10 am UTC (link)
	OH wow, am I supposed to laugh at that? Because it's pretty funny actually. I have to show that one to Yang, she'd die. The paramedics showed up just in time, yup. But that's kind of why I crashed and burned. You know. That was just before finals week. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	darkforcerising 2018-07-05 03:43 pm UTC (link)
	I laugh. That man is a comic genius. But maybe only laugh at those jokes when you’re with your friend or other amputees who you know are ok with it. You never know who’s struggling with it. Some friends are worth crashing for. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	jaune_d_arc 2018-07-08 04:17 am UTC (link)
	Oh yeah good call, I don't want to come off as insensitive at all there. ... she definitely was, though. You're not wrong. (Reply to this) (Parent)
