OOT, What is your life situation?

[Hollywade]

Age: 25

Occupation: I just got a part time job working in the sports department at a newspaper. I enjoy it so far. I used to be a teacher but I ended up in a bad experience at a charter school which sort of turned me against teaching for the time being.

Poker: I used to kill the 1-2 NL games on Party Poker. Common story I'm sure. Since January, I have been trying to make a run on Full Tilt with very little success. The players are definitely better and I'm obviously not as good as I thought I was. Mostly .25-.50 NL right now.

Family: I'm pretty much broke, so I'm back at home with my mom, step-dad, and two younger brothers. I hope this is very temporary because I highly value my independence.

Girls: Still not over my ex-girlfriend. I have been better about being outgoing around new girls and socializing with more of them. FWIW, different topic, I could use advice on getting over an ex that you really care about.

Happy: I feel better about myself now that I'm employed. I'm still nowhere near happy though. Earlier this year I was happy because I had enough money not to worry about it and I was just doing whatever I wanted. I would go to a casino a few times a week and also played in some WSOP circuits. Now I'm broke, many of my friends have moved away, and I live with my parents. Not cool.
