To find me there, to find you there [entries|friends|calendar] Unbelievable...but spelled wrong! Yah! :D [ website | My Website ] [ userinfo | livejournal userinfo ] [ calendar | livejournal calendar ]

And this is my Magic Murder Bag [14 Feb 2008|07:12am] [Current Mood: Toasty~ ] [Weapon of the day: M a g i c M u r d e r B a g ] [Current game of fancy: Suiko5 offline, FFXI online, Guitar Hero III when the chance arises ] Where to start since the last one... I'm mostly just doing this in hopes that typing an obscene amount of text in the dark may tire myself out enough to catch some sleep. For some reason or another, I'm finding it to be quite toasty here tonight. It's probably just me, but it's annoying all the same. Currently sitting in the living room with the windows open, but I don't think much air flow is occuring around here (though it is cool outside). It's <3 day! Make sure you pass that stuff around. It's good for you. And once you get them hooked, you can charge them whatever you want and they won't complain. I'm sure some of you have read in Missa's LJ that I've been approved for my permanent residence card and such. Hurrah, after many years of waiting. Mostly for other people I guess, and maybe some of the funding for filing the paperwork. It's a combination of nervousness and excitement running through me right now. Well, at least it would be if they hadn't messed up sending the thing. Now there's a 45 day wait before they can send it again, and I'm supposedly going to be contacted within the 45 days about. That was actually about 35 days ago so hopefully it'll be soon. Tried to follow it up, but was told to wait, and checking the online case status thing isn't useful either, as it has been the same since the notice was proclaimed undeliverable. My amazingly fantastic, stunningly gorgeous, brilliantly witty, outrageously sexy other half has decided to get me a new computer (and really, those adjectives apply even without the prospect of a new gadget to play with). It'll shoot lazers, abolish slavery, teach Aya jujitsu and still take out the trash every day. Or something like that. Really, this paragraph is more of a "I <3 MISSA MORE THAN ANYTHING" deal. We're quickly approaching our 6 year anniversary, with a 5 year old monkey in tow. Life may not be perfect, but it never fails to put a smile on my face thinking of the two most important ladies in my life. Sometime within the past...*eyes last entry*...uh, 9 months, Jeff came to visit us again. Same old deal. We hang out. Act like idiots. Laugh, eat, catch up, quote random hilarity, and hit each other until the bruises start going rainbow. Always awesome to have him visit, and I can't wait to be able to actually switch it around for a change. Oh, Missa also purchased a new LCD tv for the room today. Snazzy, plus I got the steal the room tv for my PS2 in the living room (the one I play the evil game on). The clarity compared to the tv I used is astounding. In fact, my eyes hurt so much they may be bleeding internally ( I KID!). She also picked up a 1 TB drive for herself, and I'm currently taking bets from everyone as to how quickly she's going to fill that baby up. At this moment in time, she's transferring stuff off her 120 GB drive onto the 1 TB one, so that one will be free for...whatever afterwards. Speaking of eye bleeding, Jeff's eyes apparently "bled" after visiting Tucson. Well, he said it was more of an orangey/pink discharge, so we assume it was a sinus infection of some sort that I happened to catch too, after he left. Except in my case, it felt like the mucus (which was shooting out orange :D) had gone into my middle ear or something, caused it to seal off into a really horribly painful pressure bubble, and then cause a tear in my eardrum (or something). While it sounds horribly serious (and maybe painful, there was some slight bleeding from the ear once I got the pressure to go), it wasn't all that bad at the end. Most amusing part was being able to make this weird squeaking sound by moving air out the ear. Well, it amused me for a bit. The whole weird sound thing for a few weeks sucked though. And then a few days ago I had a weird dizzy spell that caused a horrible bout of nausea and an odd sense of vertigo while laying down, but that was probably unrelated. I had to sleep sitting up on the couch that night because it really felt horrible being on my back. As soon as I passed out though, I apparently slid down and slept just fine that way for a few hours. Was totally random and brief. There is a possibility that it was some kinda flu bug attack, since Aya had gone all feverish and throat pain (and some stomach pain, but she said it went away) the night before. She woke up feeling kinda off and warm, but after some food and some ibuprofen she improved quite a bit during the day. However, night came and her fever went up to 103, so we decided to take her to the ER to have it checked out. In the end (got there at 1 am, didn't leave until 6 am), it turned out to be nothing of worry. They say it was probably some flu bug ('tis the season). We're both all good and such now so who knows what it was all about. What else to ramble on :/ Oh yar, FFXI. Well, I finally tossed my hat into the endgame arena, seeing as how I may end up with limited time playing once I start working, and I'd hate to look back and say "Wow, I can't believe I never did that/tried to get that!" or what not. Ninja, Ranger, Samurai 75. Merits almost complete. Gear still needs work, but that's the game for you. Love the new spaces, but there could definitely be more. The expansion feels ridiculously empty of things to do at this moment (at least compared to previous expansions), but they never release the whole thing at once. Next update is in early March, so we'll see what that brings. I think this might actually be working somewhat. There's a twinge of tiredness gnawing away behind my eyes. Not enough yet, but it's a start. And it's cooled down a bit with the windows open. You know, when I started HOL, I could honestly say that while I would've liked doing the whole 7 years, I didn't think it'd last that long (based on prior experiences with other online communities). So, to my surprise, here I am, finishing up my 7th year with it. I mean obviously, it doesn't hold the same sway it used to years and years ago, but it's still something I don't mind doing occasionally (classwork, quidditch, and such). I don't know if I want to be involved with it afterwards though. That's still something I'm running through my head. It's been a cool community, with some very outstanding people, and good or bad, I don't regret meeting/knowing/talking/whatever with them. Whether they be jackasses or awesome coolie monkeys. Though of course, truth be told, I'm wondering if it'll last much longer. Really though, there's still a lot of people who adore the place, and will probably do what they can to keep it running for a while longer yet. I just think a lot of the original faces (and there aren't many left anyways) may be on the brink of moving on for good. Or it could just be in my head. I'm not exactly paying ultra super attention to it all outside of some classwork that occasionally can be amusing, and my main attraction (well, outside of the place I met my wonderful wifey), trivia to the death! Need a haircut this weekend. Hate it when my hair gets long. Missa likes it because she likes grabbing it and all, and as fun as that it, it just gets really irritating with the heat. Plus I shed like a mofo when it gets too long :/ Hockey! That Zednik thing, very scary. I remember a long while ago a goalie took a skate to the neck too. Maybe it's just the whiteness of the ice, but it really does make it all redder than it seems @_@ Nice to see the guy is 1) not dead, and 2) is getting better. Ovvie is probably gonna be the first 60 goal man in a long while, if he keeps this pace. Well, if he really catches fire again, it could be possible to see a 70 goal season, but there's like 21 games left and he has 48 at the moment. It'd be close. The Caps are still fighting for a playoff spot (the cheating way, but snagging the division so they can get an auto 3rd place seed, even if they don't beat everyone else in points). My Pens are doing quite fantastic this year, and chugging along even with Sid the kid out. Malkin's picking up the slack real good. Just hope they don't do to him what they did to Naslund (though that guy hasn't been all that fantastic the last couple of years...but still). Edmonton needs major help, Detroit looks like an unstoppable juggernaut, and the final stretch of the season looks like it should be quite interesting. Usually try to get a rant in here for fun or something, but eh. Nothing on my mind lately. At least there's nothing I can remember at this current point in time. So until next time people. Hope the people I don't see around all that often are doing well, if they're not, I hope their fortunes improve, with much <3 from me, and all that monkey business. The people I do see around lots though, you owe me push-ups. Get to it, hippies. Of course, an uneven proportion of <3 goes out to Missa and Aya, and most especially Missa, since it's Valentine's Day and all. Also, Happy Lunar New Year (though it's kind of a week late, but it's like a week long celebration anyways) to all those who celebrate it! If you're young enough to cash in on red packets, hope you cashed in big ^_^ And the usual greetings of a prosperous new year, with all your wishes coming true, and something about fish and oranges (really, they do enjoy their puns, and I was so confused about those sayings for a long time). Oh, White Night is a goot book. I can't wait for Small Favor in April. Bah, mentioning books makes me want to rant off on the reading I did over the last little while...but eh, think I'd rather try sleep instead. 4 comments|post comment

I am Jack's fashionably late entry. [17 May 2007|09:11pm] [Current Mood: Lazy] [Weapon of the day: A dead hard drive, great for throwing~ ] [Current game of fancy: FFXI, FFXII during the downtime. Random RE games ] You know...I was gonna write the usual ridiculous long entry but... - We've moved, but a lot of you already knew that. Missa's brother, despite being the biggest of the four of us (though Aya really doesn't count) also happens to be the weakest and the laziest. - Jeff came down many months ago. Much fun was had. Had my hair cut then. Lots of alcohol was purchased and consumed. He plans another trip later this year, and tries to convince me to illustrate for his literary works. - PS2 HDD go boom. No more FFXI on PS2. Solution -> FFXI on Missa's comp when she's at work/not using it. WoW hippies will get a deaf ear if they try to convince me to switch. Samurai 75 too on the game, woo~ - Immigration moving along. Much woot. Here's hoping they send out ID stuffs and what not soon. Make things a whole lot easier. - Rumors are my cousins (yes, multiple) are getting married. As in 3 brothers having one wedding or summat. Later is better. If they do it now, I wouldn't know if I could make it, and that'd totally make me sad. They're like brothers! - Insert random other stuff and ranting here. Aya's got a cough. I need a haircut. Laziness prevails~ Enjoy monkeys :D Much <3 to those that count, which means Missa and Aya get infinitely more~ Maybe, there'll be an extended version of this. I wouldn't hold my breath for it though :D EDIT: I'll edit in things I forgot... - Missa cut her hair a while ago, but I think that was worthy of news. Instead of 3-4 feet she's down to a foot! Well, foot and a half now. - Married for 5 years! Time flies! I remembered to say "Happy Anniversary" and make a good dinner, even if I forgot to post it! - Adore the new apartment and it's virtual bug freeness. There were mosquitoes when we moved in, but I think we took care of that *slaps* *bleaches drains* - Game on comp is shiny. Thf pants are ridiculously green. They never used to bother me, but they do now. - HOCKEY! Pens out first round - not unexpected, but still, nice to see progress. Sens for the cup. Three finals with three Canadian teams over three years is woot. Even if I hate the Flames. - at this rate this will become a long entry, even if it's mostly spaces. - got into Death Note. Fantastic anime (at least the start/middle was). Think it's trying a little too hard now. Ends in like 5-6 episodes so watching where that goes. - If you've never watched the Venture Brothers, do yourself a favor and watch the whole thing. MECHA SHIVA! - Re-watched Red Dwarf. Never realized how short it really was...or how completely random. Still good stuff. Smegheads. - Speaking of random, the Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya is just that. I liked it, but I hear it's not everyone's cup of tea. There's different ways to watch it too (order wise) :D One of which even makes sense! - The comp exploding incident was pretty cool. I saw sparks and all. Warranties are great. Hence getting more of them after the comp was repaired XD - FFXII wins gameplay wise, but is a total let down story wise. Suikoden V is fantastic btw, even if it's not as snazzy on the graphical (though it's art style is very goot too). Recommend both, for different reasons (and not just the above!) - Yes, you're all hippies. Have you not realized what my friends list is called? - As Missa has stated in her comment, Aya likes toothpaste, and therefore, it's on the second and third shelf of the medicine cabinet, out of her reach. She's pretty good at finding junk to pile up to climb though...sometimes. - I totally killed the comp after fixing it. I mean my laptop. It had been doing everything so well, but last time I went to do disk cleanup, and uninstalled stuff, it's gone all @_@. I think Norton's just a vengeful bitch about not being wanted anymore. - Missa totally pwns in hard drive usage. She's got like 600+ gigs of space, and has eaten 400+! I don't think I could've filled more than her desktop and maybe half of her first external. EDIT: Most of that space (500 gig external) came in March, so like...2 months...ish. - We were without phone for like a week because of some kinda relay what not thingamajig. It's fixed now. The number is still the same for dorks who wanna know. - The freaking edit is now longer than the original entry. - You know, there were people over the year that added me to their LJ friend list and I hadn't posted a thing until now. I bet you're sorry! *spams* 28 comments|post comment

The lifelight burns inside me, to sing to you this song~ [21 Jun 2006|06:03am] [Current Mood: Somethingsomething ] [Weapon of the day: Tensa Zangetsu ] [Current game of fancy: TEH EVILS!@#!@# and Alternate Universe: The Water Margin 2~ ] Hoi hoi, and welcome to the bi-annual semi-report of the thing I sometimes refer to as my life! As usual, I will only be saying things I wanna say, and hiding anything else that I don't, but no matter! Sit back, grab some popcorn (though I don't really fancy the stuff, and prefer nachos at the theatre)! Emergency exits are to your front and sides, and are lit at all times to guide you. In case you need to run away screaming. Don't worry, we understand the need to flee in the sight of oncoming walls of text. No insult will be taken if you panic and scream. It's only natural. Okay, enough kidding around (at least for an opening paragraph). Let's get down to business. Make sure the seat is back in it's upright and locked position, the tray tables are up, and that your safety belts are fastened. Let's get the stuff that will probably bore people outta the way first. I'm a lv. 75 ninja on the game now. Full katana merits, evasion, crits (blah blah) that's working on str. merits now (I really wanted to do subtle blow, but there were a set of missions that relied on me TPing the mob faster, so I skipped it for now). I proudly picked up my "I OBVIOUSLY DON'T DO SKY OR DYNAMIS" pants (woo, seraweels!@# You can't say no to cool blue shorts) after a bunch of assault missions (the one we farmed was kinda semi luck based @_@). Starting to move LS members through the CoP storyline again, which is pretty fun (yah, mammets dead, onto Diabolos), and currently scrounging up funds to try and make my own hauby +1 (but first, smithing to 94...currently 93.someoddnumber). Finished CoP and RoZ, so the battle with Bahamut #1 is now on the list of things to do eventually. I'm pretty sure there's a whole bunch of other stuff, but eh~ Slowly going through old games during breaks from the other game. Finished Front Mission 4 from beginning to end again (still really like this one, and really can't wait to see FM5, as well as an english version of FM2, which I really liked playing, even though it was entirely in Japanese). Think I went onto Final Fantasy IV next, and found out you can beat the game in like 15 hours >_>. I had started Final Fantasy VI, but after heading over to sister-in-law's place for game 7 (ugh), I got to borrow *holds up all shiney* SUIKODEN 2! Well, I've actually had it on the laptop for a while, but like I always say, I can't really stand gaming on the comp too long. For whatever reason. Haven't started Suiko2 yet though. Can't wait~ *lets nostalgia smack him around* Wonder what the fifth one is like. Heard it's pretty good~ I guess on a last bit of gaming news. Played God of War for the first time. Bloody. Fun. Didn't play too much, but now that it's a PS2 classic (yah, red box, cheaper prices) it might be worth picking up. Changing up the action here and there is goot, and flailing is definitely fun (BLADES ON CHAINS! It's teh win). Very fun! As some of you may know, I turned 26 (AHHHHHHH MORE THAN HALFWAY TO 30!@#!@# No offense to any 30+ that read this...) earlier this month, and I think that may be scaring Missa more than me XD. I don't think I'll mind the age thing until 30...maybe. Either way, birthday was fun. Got to spend a whole day without Aya (not that I don't love her muchly, but time away was relaxing). Got to spend the whole day with Missa. Watched movie (yay Hollywood butchering of Xmen storylinestuffs, but still pretty fancymovieness), did a bit of shopping, had dinner at the Metro Grill, and just a very smile-smile day~ o_O Part of the laptop just kinda seperated. I wonder when that happened...*puts it back together* I may need duct tape >_> I guess I'll touch on the playoffs that just finished up. It's been a while since I was able to cheer a team on this hard. Nothing like a hometown team to get your blood going XD. Absolutely amazed the Oilers made it this far really. Watching their games, so many times, I was like @_@ "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU GUYS DOING?!@#" Maybe they struck a deal with the devil or something (in which case, the deal kinda sucked, as they didn't walk away with the cup, but did take it to 7 games). Last game was a sad display though. To fight back, and show such dominance in the past few games, only to play so lackluster (minus that whole maybe...10-12 minutes in the third) in the game that really matters. I think the thing that really bothered me was the whole Dwayne Roloson bit. I guess this is just me, because the first time I saw him he was playing in Calgary (LAWL) and there were constant jokes about him between my hockey friends and I. Then a few years ago he made the all-star game and all that. And now backstopping a team to the Stanley Cup finals. Watching him play, he was alright (really strong on rebounds, doesn't let them happen often, it seemed). Jeff was telling me it's some kinda luck god he has sealed into the gold part of his mask. Who knows though~ Felt like the hockey deities thought it'd be a funny thing. I guess it was just almost two years without watching a game of hockey (strike plus a whole year of not knowing it was on OLN...or where OLN was!) Was nice to see it all again. Good try Edmonton~ I guess I may be slightly sad I wasn't in Edmonton for it all too :) Oh, any of you hanging about for Aya pictures aren't going to find them. We seem to have lost the cord to the digital camera, so no uploads, and no pictures! SUFFER! :D (after typing that, my brain suddenly clicked...and I found where it was....but still no pics for j00!@#). Randomly: I think I may need a haircut again. ^_^ It's beginning to feel kinda annoying on the back of my neck. Randomly #2: I dunno why I'm getting these bursts of awakedness after only 3-4 hours of sleep. I can tell my body wants to keep sleeping, but suddenly my brain is just "WOOOO!@# LET'S GO!" *cleans apartment* *types overly long journal entries* *does sit ups, push ups, and stretches a lot* Hmm. What else. I think lately the thought of going back to Canada has been poking my mind more than usual. And not just to visit. Just curious if it'd be easier to finish stuff up and all up there. I dunno. I can't say I like one place more than the other. Well, I guess I could, but that's purely from a nostalgia purpose kinda thing. I miss Edmonton, which is why I want to go back. I adore it here too, and don't want to leave. Mmm, emotions stuff. Tastes good with butter. And coffee. That's right, buttered coffee. Uh, yeah, anyways. Maybe it's the lack of working that's jabbing my head. It's not like super annoying (or even really close to annoying, but it pops up from time to time). Probably one of those embedded male instincts like when we don't like asking for help. I dunno. My parents keep jabbing me with this thing about saying how passports will be needed by the end of the year for stuff, and since I don't have one (and if I don't get things done by then) then maybe it's best I go back to get one (as well as renew my ID/driver's license). Jeff did offer us a place in the house he planned to buy (which is on hold though) and that seemed pretty cool. Ahhhh, whatever. It's just random possibilities I'm mulling over, but my preference is to stay here for now (and work from there.) So much to put together though, and wondering if it will come together. *overthinks* All of this has really gotten me to wondering if I can get depressed anymore. It all seems to end up the same way. I evaluate all the options, and realistically try to think over which is likely to happen, versus what I'm optimistic about happening. Then I try to settle for some middle ground between, and charge forth. I just don't feel the whole being completely bummed out thing anymore. Soujirou powers? Probably not good. He snapped goot. I don't think I'm penting it up somewhere though, but I guess I could be wrong. I just consider a lot of things possible, and try to keep in mind that it's so. So if A happens, go to B...but if there are deviations to A, maybe C or D is the better course. Not a psychic. The only way to find out what's next is to walk the path and all. Regret just slows you down. Not bad to do so every once in a while, but dwelling and all suck! Maybe I'm just crazier than I think I am. I'm actually in a locked up rubber room, and this is some alternate reality I've made to keep myself from bouncing my head off the floor too much. I guess viewing the guy in the room is kinda meh, but hey, I'm pretty happy inside my head! And maybe that's all that matters. I don't like telling myself that though. It's this weird loop where I'm arguing with myself more than anyone else. It still boils down to all your values and stuff I guess. And things that you've been taught while growing up (I hope this doesn't start that whole rant I always have about silly parents who blame TV and and what not when their kids go "wrong"). You just end up putting your chips into the thing you understand the most and going with it. For some people it's all they know. There is never a consideration of anything else. The emphasis of right and wrong, and how the feeling of being right really direct things too. No one likes being wrong. Even with complete expectation of failure and prepping for it, it's still slightly disheartening when it happens, and that feeling only multiplies the more you believe you're right. I may have said "Maybe that's all that matters" in the happiness is all that matters things, but inside my head I'm wondering if that's necessarily true. And then I'll do the split up into 50 people and evaluate the situation from different angles thing. "No, it's not good! You'd be living a lie!" "Living in a room knowing you're unfit for current society is better?" "Maybe seeking help to finding the happiness is better." "Nah, I think he's permanently broken." "How do you know if you don't try?" "Just look at him!" "I think you're all wrong. They really should pamper him and maybe that will fix him." "No, they should do the opposite and seal him off completely. Forget about him for he's detrimental to society." "I wish I could see what was really happening." "How would you know it was real anyways? The stuff you'd be seeing." "It is real at this moment in time, for this instance. For me." "Those are a lot of conditions you put down. So basically, you can be the crazy one too as the other fourty-nine of us can obviously see it's not." "That secretary is late with my chicken sandwich." "You're always thinking of eating. THAT'S WHY YOU'RE FAT!" " D: I'm NOT fat! It's all water retention!" "On topic guys?" "Didn't you order fries with that?" "GUYS?!@!" *bounces around rubber room some more* And so on. Okay, maybe not the stuff after the chicken sandwich part. Maybe.... Think it just whittles down to the whole happy, but not completely satisfied part. I just don't like believing in completely being satisfied with no other goals. Some people are happy with that, and others will play down things to make it work for them. I think I may expect a lot more out of me than a lot of other people did when I was a kid. That's a lot of pressure :) I'm horrid to deal with~ That got a little more rambly than expected... *throws confetti on Terra-chan and Yankee for getting old in the best month* GO JUNE PEOPLE!@# Been kinda itching to draw again. (Yes babe, I know I do owe you one Kamio in a catholic school uniform XD). Mostly to sketch out the characters for something I have in my mind. Then that might need writing and all that too. Think I need more inspiration on the clothes part of things though. I really don't know how I wanna dress some of these people...Weaponry I can do. Fashion design though.... Ah well, I think I'll leave it at that. Hope all you hippies are enjoying your summer~ <3 to all friendlies, and lurkers (I know you're there!@#). <333333 to Aya, and <3333333333333333333333 to my Missa. And if I have any enemies (not that I know of) then no love for you. You can pick up a cookie though. Oh yes, one final note. OWLS FUCKING SUCK!@# That is all. Hope you enjoyed the flight. I'll be seeing you around December unless there's an emergency~ You may unbuckle your safety belts once the ride has come to a full and complete stop. Slight edit: I meant the class, and not the bird. The bird is okay in my book. Edit #2: URGH~!@# I was gonna say. Hope you got cool stuff Terra-chan, and hope you get a slab of bacon to cuddle Yankee! 13 comments|post comment

Woo [19 Jun 2006|10:22pm] HAPPY BIRTHDAY LADIES!@# *gnaws and kicks* Hope you're enjoying it! I'd add more but I don't trust my typing at the moment. FUCKING OILERS! YOU DON'T PLAY HALF A THIRD TO WIN A GAME!@# Though surprised you made it at all! *waves flag* Bi-annual update soon. Stay tuned, same bat time, same bat channel~ 6 comments|post comment

Be the name that everyone must mention~ [26 Dec 2005|05:05am] [Current Mood: *stares* ] [Weapon of the day: Foam disk gun in one hand, cap gun in the other! ] [Current game of fancy: E-L-E-V-E-N, though I did get to see the Kingdom Hearts 2 opening movie thing and be BAFFLED by it] Well, I hope you all had a Merry Christmas, and will continue to have a fantastic holiday season. Season's greetings and all that, hippies :) Hazel FERNANDES (as it is showing up in my play list) - Number One rocks. Of course, I knew this a while ago, but didn't really get it until yesterday. Something that really connects with me, I guess. Deity/Hero/Narcissistic tendancies? Maybe. If any of you watch Bleach, I'm sure you'll recognize it (if you don't already have it already....) PAIN IN THE BUTT TO FIND :D Hmm. Where to start... Guess I'll post warning that this post may get overly long. It has been over three months since I last posted :D And while I was kinda off and on about posting things for a bit, I didn't really get to it until now. Guess we'll start with the trip. In...I think it's two days time, I'll be heading towards Los Angeles with parentals, siblings, spouse and child. I think part of me is slightly nervous to see them again, but I think I'm more...kinda...uh, hoping the trip goes decently well. It'll only be like 3-4 days, I think, but I'd prefer everyone having a good time and behaving. Or I'm going to have to get grumpy *snaps teeth* So yeah, gonna be real glad to see them, real glad to let them see and hold Aya, and fingers crossed that they don't overdo any parental things...or Missa super grumping at them....or Aya reacting badly. Asdlkfjlaskdpqopojalbladjflskdfj...fun stuff. *Pretends to have things under control* Speaking of Missa, she's kinda sick *pats poor Meow-meow*. She said the cold meds helped out a bit earlier tonight, but her speech was completely hampered by the sore throat before she took them. Slight fever, and soreness too *massages*. Hopefully, she'll get better soon. I'm also keeping my fingers crossed that my Frodo Baggins curse doesn't happen (and no, I'm not jinxing anything :p). Basically, I get sick every New Years...it'll be out of the blue, and usually leaves quickly. Quite odd. Our Christmasy celebrating/family get together thing was alright. Food was pretty good, lots of gifts handed out, kids had fun and misbehaved lots. ^^ Got clothes, a lot of fun little toy things, as well as a few gift cards. This is tacked onto the money my uncle and aunt sent (as per usual). I think after this trip that'll be next on the list. They keep sending stuff down and it just feels wrong not being able to visit them...and the rest of the family. I got to talk to a good chunk of them today and it felt nice. Really hope it gets done this year...I dunno if I can deal like this much more. Getting twitchy and all that. Four years and lack of progress is just meh. Leaving nothing but pondering how much quicker it would've been the other way, but seeing as Missa didn't wanna deal with the weather, I figured we'd go with down here first. Seems I'm back here saying the same thing every year, and it's getting on my nerves really bad. I'd really like to say that we'll get it done this year, but I think, deep down, I don't wanna know what will happen if it doesn't. Every year that bypasses is definitely a knife wound at oppurtunity and another hand up for consequence. Doesn't sit well at all. Going to give the year the chance though, in hopes that it's not even the whole year (pleasefortheloveoffreakingevildontbe).*hastrustinMissaandhopefullyselfaswelltogetitdoneasitmaybekindaimportant* I think this leads me onto what I wanted to rant on tonight/this morning. Mostly about me. So forgive me if this gets boring. I find myself able to stand up for a lot of things I believe would be fair/equal/right in my eyes (now I don't think most people would add the "my eyes part"). I think I'd better state that there are a lot things I would let slide because I believe their importance in the whole scheme of things may not be as grand as others make it out to be. However, I've taught myself to evaluate the situation as such, that situation, and not allowing too many of the outside factors (what should be, how it's usually done) come into play. Even with similarities, I try to gauge the situation as different, and as such, the outcome could be different if slight things are changed. Meaning that what worked before may not work again (or it may) but perhaps there was a better way around, and it's better to search for that. In truth, that may not only be it. I find myself arguing with myself over these paths, constantly. Arguing for people before letting them argue sometimes. Running scenarios through my mind, obvious to the fact that since I am me I cannot truly produce the thoughts carried by another person, however, I think to myself maybe I'm running the arguement as a way to be prepared for what to say, what to do. I can't say I don't have things I don't put some...value in, as it is part of the basic imprint that one eventually ends up growing with, through the combination of stimuli/situations/interactions with other things that occur. So deep down, there's that part of me that will be swayed to things I believe that are usually right (my brain tells me that I should emphasize "usually right" as that's how it is, there will be a situation where it's not right). Obviously, never unbiased, no matter how hard the attempt is. Sometimes, depending on situations (ie. things of competition really work this next part well), I'll just abandon it all and go with the emotion of things, which usually in hindsight, I feel like it sucks, but in the natural order of things, couldn't be avoided. Even right now as I type this, I'm kinda battling out what I'm trying to say (which seemed so plain when I was laying down in bed a few minutes ago, but kinda jumbled now). I think (and I could wake up tomorrow and tell myself I'm wrong here) that I am slightly bothered by trying (for I am not sure if it's actually happening or is it just something I am deluding myself into doing) to expand my mind and not accept things always as they is. Mostly because it seems to leave a lot of things hanging in a balance of shades of grey. I know how this is how a lot of things must be most of the time, but for some reason it has caused an uneasiness in me. Originally I was wondering if I was perhaps envious of people who would be supporting their ideals with such blind virtue that they would not be swayed no matter the details. That kind of determination is impressive sometimes, but if you overdo it, it can also be stupid, nasty, and all that kinda fun stuff. I think it is partially that, as well as the part where I miss the easiness of going with "what's right" (though, of course, sometimes it's not even easy, but after some thought loops, it just seems from this end that it was easier). Maybe that's just the laziness talking. The brain complaining I'm doing more than really needs to be done. It counterattacks to tell itself that if it doesn't do it on a regular basis, then it will go onto such ways of thinking and be exempt from something that may be much bigger. I guess when faced with simple and easy vs diffucult but more to explore I am trying to go with easy to explore. I don't think that's possible though. At least, of course, not in most situations. I'm pretty sure some of them work out. It really does get annoying sometimes. Wonder if you can develop schizophrenia like this. Just argue with yourself to the point that your mind seperates into different entities. I SAW IT WORK ON TV! :O I guess there are some things on my mind now that I keep discussing to myself in an amalgm of ways and it just becomes so cluttered I just wish it was simpler. No stress, but a lot of thinking. And it rests between a slight sense of euphoria to make the brain think so hard as well as a crippling defeat to know that nothing has truly been accomplished. I try for the complete answer when it might not even be there. And while it's easy to argue to say there isn't one, the deep down belief that nothing is 100% is basically stating "there probably is, look harder". Woo! XD Yeah, that might've been full of crack, as I don't think I got to say what I really wanted to get out of my mind. Meh, oh well, I'm sure it'll be a fun read whenever I get back to it on a later date (and to anyone actually willing to sit through that extremely elongated and probably abyssmally drab diatribe). I'll come back and say "What the fuck was I on?" or "Oh crap, that's what I really wanted to say.....ah well." Or even perhaps "Well damn, I had it before and lost it >_<, way to give up the answer in the morning and forget about it later that day, dumbass!" I'm not even sure if that's all of it, but the brain says to stop because it doesn't wanna try anymore. Well, on lighter notes of things~ Aya now has gotten a better concept of Christmas. Opening presents, not screaming at Santa in fear, and all that. Bonus. Game wise (muahahah, you will not be spared), I have a slight leveling deadlines to meet, which shouldn't be too hard. The Chains of Promathia static that I've joined has almost finished chapter 6 (which means we're now delving into uncapped things that I will need to be higher for, instead of completing them in these capped area/BC fights XD). So the goal is 70, for two reasons. I've also promised to be around 70 by mid February so I can show off the hat I got for Christmas XD ahahahahaha *geeksabout*. However, it's not as bad as one would think. Outside of leveling 46-63 almost completely solo on ninja (which is what the static needs, a tank), I can usually squeeze out a level a week by myself (that's like an hour/90 minutes, at most), and probably infinitely more if I took the time to go level with *gasp* people. I guess I can put up with the hectic monotony for a month, just as long as it isn't too much at once. Hell, going by previous rant notes, it might not even be bad, and in fact, fun. Hahah, guess we'll see...the whole 4 levels on thf (woo, 19, six more to go XD) were definitely a nice change, and maybe I wouldn't mind trying that again. First thing is first though. I've got a gimp subjob to take care of :D The slight battle between wanting to be a ranger but needed as the ninja continues to rage on, too. I guess it'd be easier if I didn't find doing the ninja thing fun as well XD Ah, whatever. CoP is fantastically fun so far though *stabs Snoll Tzar in the teeth*. RAWR for story things~ 4:46 am, so if none of this makes sense, I blame that. I'm physically....not all that tired, but my mind keeps slipping a bit here and there. Badly thought out ramblings suck. We'll see if any applies later. Did I mention I got my hair cut :D And even better, the lady did a pretty good job~ (well, I think so XD) She didn't style it the way I usually do, but that was nothing some water and gel didn't fix ^^ Wee, scalp can feel the air again. The pigtails look, though adorable (and infinitely more had I put on some make up to highlight my pretteh eyes and luscious lips :3) was nice (especially after the shave, so it looked less like the semi-scraggly bearded lady), but I definitely like having my short hair back >_> The mighty Fej is back in Edmonton, which I think is pretty cool. I do miss E-town sometimes. I guess that's how old homes are. I get the feeling if I left here though, I'd miss it too XD Ahahaha. SENTIMENTAL! (that one's for you Mira!). Yeah, anyways, he's living 14 floors up in the middle of downtown, and getting used to having people, and most importantly, internet back again XD Why am I rambling on my friend?! I dunno. I think the Edmonton thing was what I really wanted to kinda go on about XD Though he did mention he might wanna visit again in May, but I dunno. He mentioned it in passing, and with plans to kinda purchase a house and all (which seems kinda scary, him being just a single guy and all and not really needing one) I figure it may not come to pass. He can be surprising though. Sometimes. Okay, I better stop now. I'm just striving to hit the five page mark on the entry now>_> (last count was at a little over four pages when I pasted it into MS Word :D). So yeah, to reiterate, I hope you guys are having a good time this holiday season. As usual, all friends get <3333s and licks, all rivals get snarky comments, all enemies (do I have any? Maybe an evil twin!) get a kung fu strike, my Ayadork gets <333333333333333333s and my Missa wins because she gets <333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333!~ She needs the bonus to feel better *nods*. Oh wait, final note. Got to see my cat while at Missa's 'rents house. Kyo, the giant floofball gay orange cat :D He spent the whole night laying around with George. Still a mellow one he be, and still wish we could keep him XD ~if you wanna see some action gotta be the center of attraction.... okay, had to edit out my shifty eyes because they killed the thing... 11 comments|post comment

Tanjyoubi Omedetou~~ [20 Jun 2005|10:34pm] [Current Mood: Zuuuuur ] [Weapon of the day: Zooooop] [Current game of fancy: Zoooble?! ] Hah hah. This is a post about nothing. I'm just tossing confetti at one preggers lady and another one that kicks cat people. You evil wenches have yourselves a happy birthday, yo! *tosses glass confetti on Terra-chan and Yankee* I had other things to post actually, but I'll save it for when I edit some pics and such. Bet you that line just led a bunch of people astray. And on the truly bright side of things. This is a short entry by me! And you thought it'd never happen. Now to stop before I do my thing and make it 5 pages long. <33 to friends, <3333 to the birthday ladies, <333333 to Aya and <33333333333333 to Missaness :D 21 comments|post comment

Insertwittytitlehere ^^ And yes, that's titles. Not titties. [04 Apr 2005|08:09am] [Current Mood: Squee! :D ] [Weapon of the day: Broken Butterfly (the gun with the secksehest reload animation EVAR) ] [Current game of fancy: FFXI, RE4, This ] We'll start with one thing. Squee with me people. http://www.rightstuf.com/1-800-338-6827/catalogmgr/nMJJwPlFUbRgTD34ZP/browse/item/66085/4/0/0 And I was just talking about how I'd pounce all over that if they ever came out with one o_O *checks the room for consumer research listening device* Not much happening, was sick (probably from Missa's bro) and then got better (and got Missa sick). Think it's taking another loop though cause Missa's bro didn't sound too well this morning (then again, that may have been his pepperoni and coffee breakfast >_>) I was originally gonna post some FFXI pics up, but forgot to send the screenshots this way. This is mostly due to the people (you know who you are!) who keep posting WoW pics ^^ Figure I haven't put one up yet, so maybe sometime soon. Just a warning, a good chunk of them will probably be me in my frilly panties before I traded it in for my badass aketon ^^ *reminds self to get them later* Other gamewise glories. Doing lots of new things. Been invisible to friends list lately to avoid interruption of money recovery (I blew up 3.8 mil in crafting goodness...much laughing and pain). However, today I am back over the 3 million mark (well, I will be once things sell) and I am available for pestering again! Amusing things are running into people with names of friendlies. Most amusing was a Jadey (that was her name) who poked me. I was much baffled for a bit and kept poking back wondering if it was *swoons at Jadey* Jadey >_> (never got a reply, btw ^^;;) There was also a discussion among the boys within the linkshell to create a new one named WeLoveBOOBS. Figure Missa could also get honorary membership >_> RE4 wise, I'm playing the Mercenaries mini-game on and off, hoping to finally achieve a 5 star rating, on all 4 stages, with all 5 characters. Number of 5 star ratings thus far = 8. Only problem is, this mini-game is quite frantic and causes much quick hand movements and reflexy things that if I go too long, thing start getting sloppy from arm tiredness and hand freezy. I used to play Street Fighter II for hours on end against many cousins! I guess the training is seeping away from MMORPGing XD Playing B-ball again. Can't shoot worth a bean anymore. Working up to it. Need to throw sit ups and push ups into the routine. Don't feel weak, but I don't feel strong either >_> I miss that being able to pounce and run up walls feeling. XD Pondered ranting for a bit. Really did! However, I usually end up arguing in my head. Or decide that the point isn't worth carrying across. The matter may lie within my own sense of whether it would accomplish much at all by rambling (other than a release, but it hardly ever feels like there needs to be such a release). I am all for people having their own opinions. And I'm sure many of you understand how sometimes opposing ideals can irk you to no end. I guess the main thing that bothers me lately is that the pure set rules/standards that something must be done. I've always had this in my head, but I think it was really brought out again watching the most recent Initial D episode. Ryosuke says, quite simply, that ideals can sometimes be a cage that can prevent growth. Now, of course, he's referring to Takumi's driving, and how he doesn't need to be fancy to win. However, I think this applies outside of that too. Now, that's not to say that you shouldn't have something to believe in. And I can understand how putting your whole heart into something may give you power, strength or the will to do...what not. I'd just prefer if people didn't become blinded by it. Remember that with a changing situation, the importance of certain factors changes. You can't just say that one method is the 100% sure fire method to do something. Maybe it's just me, but it seems like you are immediately cutting yourself off, disabling your ability to experiment (which is always fun) and maybe removing any chance of discovering a better way to handle something. I guess I just feel I see a lot of this recently. There's just this slight feel of a "notthinkingrightnowkthnxbai". And it's like this circular loop thing! To be open minded means that one should accept the differences within people, but you also need to draw the line somewhere. Perhaps I am thinking of a line that is dynamic, as if situations change, causing decisions to change, the line should be dynamic too (to a certain extent for everyone, of course...there will be some maximum range for it, for ideals implanted while growing up are just hard to shake). I mean, no matter how hard you try, there will be something that you will deem as right, no matter what. And that is good, because usually it's the defining line between the person who toughs it out, and the person who thinks maybe it's time to kill everyone and let whatever higher power sort it out (and this of course starts me on the irkiness of people who don't place semi-sane foundations for people allowing them to grow up funky, and then blame TV for the incompetance...but another day with that one). Guess it all melts down to "The lessons you learn apply....most of the time >_>" or something. Mmm. Rambly arguing with self. Please ignore :D Files under "Nothing is ever 100%, including this." Sometimes circular paths of logic are fun. Walk with me! Or prance, if that's your kinda thing :) I'm not even sure what I said really >_> So mayhaps it's better to run along now, children. Nothing to see here. Okay, I really just wanted to post the opening link. Didn't think it'd run on like this XD Btw, my current record is like 15000 m on that bike game, with a vertical distance of about 400 or so, I think. It's quite addicting @_@ Until later, mine friends, much <3 And infinitely more <3 to teh Missa, as well as teh dorky Aya (who recognizes numbers, letters, and many other things...but refuses to truly speak outside some single words, only when she wants to....she's gonna be spewing sentences once she starts...I can feel it). 14 comments|post comment

DON'T WORRY ASHLEY! I'M COMING FOR YA! *accidentally caps her...again* >_> [23 Feb 2005|11:15am] [Current Mood: Monkey! ] [Weapon of the day: My seckseh fully upgraded handgun in RE4! ] [Current game of fancy: RE4, FM4, FFXI (so actually games of fancy XD) ] I better start off with the Missa items before I forget ^_^ They're amusing anyways. Well, there have been a few times during the night where I bring Aya into the room for bedtime and Missa starts talking to me. Convos are quite amusing. They seem to delve along the lines of computer like objects, Missa's bro, and sometimes passwords. For example.... Missa: I did it! Seven: Meh? Missa: Our subscription was up. Seven: *blinks* Say wha? Missa: For the tv. And I had to put in the password. *holds up remote* Seven: Pass....word? o_O Missa: Yeah, but it's registered under my brother's name. So I had to go through all his screen names, and then use his password. Seven: ...So...you registered the tv which is under your brother's name.... Missa: Mmhmm. Seven: *stares* Missa: *rolls over and goes back to sleep* and then the other night... Missa: Gah, my brother is an idiot! Seven: Huh? o_O Missa: How the hell am I supposed to get this done?! I need my mouse! Seven: *looks around the bed* Get....what done? Missa: Where is it?! *randomly pats around the bed trying to find it* Seven: ...You want me to get it for you? *knows it's in the living room hooked up to the puter* Missa: *thinks*...Nah, it's fine. *goes back to sleep* Seven: *stares* Sleep talking thing?! Who knows. Very amusing. I love mine Missaness more than anything! :D *tackleglompgnaws* Get the feeling there was another amusing thing involving Aya too....outside of the boobie thing. *forgets* Maybe I'll remember by the end of this post ^_^;; Okee, now for the boring stuff :D *gaming habits of the whoa* Resident Evil 4 - Awesome. The game looks seckseh, and plays seckseh. No more fear of things that go bump in the night really. Usually, you're more worried of being overwhelmed. I mean, there has been one "shock scare" incident that I have run into so far (and I'm on chapter 5-1). If you have a cube, pick this game up. Fantasmical action game. And RE kitchens are the devil >_< Gun upgrading is divine. Never has there been so many exploding heads in a game. And I can't wait to get the extra weaponry for a second round through. This is definitely on my list of things to get when it comes out in greatest hits form (for only like $19.99....though the blood red tin of the special edition is very nice). Until then, I will keep mashing away at bro-in-laws copy (that's Missa's sister's husband, not the bro that lives with us ^_^) Front Mission 4: Mmm. Giant mechas. *pilots his wanzer around* Always been a whore for this series. Ever since I went and finished the first game (on Snes) compleletly in Japanese. Usually takes place about 2050-2100 or so. Political stories, and all sorts of other funky stuff (involving things like weapons creation using the brains of dead pilots, genetic manipulation thingies...and yar...) Short game compared to the others though. Only twenty-nine or so stages. I think FM2 was like 50+ o_O. Still, quite fun though. The new link system makes for some brutal machine wreaking havokness. FFXI: RNG55/NIN27 *waves battleflag* Though haven't been on this one as much due to various distractions. No crafting updates either. Still much to explore in Vana'diel, but it's currently maintenance time. Gonna try to get Argus once it's over and hope for the mighty Peacock Charm >_> *eyes teamsters who are probably snickering because I said "cock" :p* A friend of mine in game is on break, and sent me a bunch of stuff to hold onto until he feels like coming back (he has 3 months before account deletion, and said I have to hold it for 2 while he spends time away). Total cost of all gear (and funds he sent) probably over 15 mil >_> Or something. *hires a bodyguard* Hmm. What else.... Nothing off the top of my head really. Throat is a little icky from eating too many fried/toasted food thingies. NHL is gone for the season >_< (stupidstupidstupidstupid!). Fej the Laserfish says he's either going to be cutting glass or working with wine for a living for a bit. Guess which one I suggested he go with? (Yes, and as assistant manager Fej, you can send samples down to Tucson and see if there's a market of Canadians here who will drink the wine you guys make >_>) Think that's about it. Currently checking animesuki off and on to see if the next two eps of fourth stage are out yet. Must...watch...the race.... Yeah, not so coherant rambling now...so I'll just stop. Leaving only... Missa = t3h 53[|<5 Aya = dork Friends = <3 ^_^ Ja~ PS. I can still hear some of you snickering from karaoke night >_> 7 comments|post comment

Zombies...Stars of Destiny...Snake Eaters....Oh my! [14 Jan 2005|03:05pm] [Current Mood: Awake like o_O] [Weapon of the day: Donkey Punch!] [Current game of fancy: Resident Evil 4 T_T (waaaaaaants) ] Hah! Betcha all thought I had forgotten about this! Well, I just figured you didn't wanna hear things like "Okay, went out and crafted a whole buncha crap today to attain # level in supercraftofsomesort". ^_^ Yes, the obsession still continues. No, I'm not backing away :p The levelling and questing in the game is alright, but currently I'm just a big whore for the mining and crafting XD (what can I say, I like making things) Resident Evil 4 came out a few days ago, and now I is le twitching. Big fan of the series, and #4 looks fantasmical. One of the reasons I got the GC was for this game alone. Sadly though, may not be able to pick it up for a while XD Originally wanted to use the gift cards I got for Christmas for it, but decided to chip in for the new DVD player instead (more overall use by everyone). That's not the only game out though. Suikoden 4 was also released recently, and MGS3 a little while ago @_@ The only one I worry about picking up is Suikoden though. There's a high probability, with big name games like RE and MGS that in a year, they'll be out in discout price form! :D Did I mention I have the Initial D: Fourth Stage Eurobeat soundtrack? At least for the first 6 episodes or so. Everybodydanceeverybodydanceeverbodymovegroovegobeatcrazy! Heh heh. It rocks my socks. Bounce my brains out, if I had any >_> Took me forever to find a program to make it a set of mp3s though. The person who put it up had it as .ape files, which makes for fantastic quality, but each song ends up being like 40mb @_@ Really can't eat up space like that on this puter. Hmm. What else. I'm sure I was supposed to be doing something this week. Or maybe I've already done it and am being evil. :D *does a dance of evil* C'mon people, I know a good chunk of you are here for only one reason only, and that reason is 2 years old and overly energetic :D Anyways, hungry now. Probably lots of ranting to be done (and mayhaps I'll come back to do that another day) , but for now, I must fry some rice of something! <3 teh friendses :D *ridethesnake* I am le eeeevul! ^_^ 5 comments|post comment

This is a test *beeeeeeeeep* [27 Jul 2004|11:13am] Basically testing to see if everything is running smoothly. An update will come eventually. If this pops up okay, there'll be a pretty happy Missa tonight. Keep your fingers crossed folks. post comment

BOOYAKA! [28 Jun 2004|05:41pm] [Current Mood: Muhahahahhaha! ] [Weapon of the day: FLAMING BANANA!!!!! ] [Current game of fancy: FFXI (duh) Still would like to give FM4 a spin] Just devoured a giant plate of Chinese food. Mmmmmmmmmm. So full. FFXI is on server maintenance for 8 hours. Which is good. Allowed me to get on to chat with Orb about possible comp grifting. And monkey spanking. But that was his topic, not mine.... We move at the end of the week. Still gotta pack, but that's never taken too long. Feel mighty exhausted today from all that moving yesterday (we helped Missa's parents move to their new place out in the boonies. Nice place. Pretty big. But waaaaaaay out there.) I'm not really tired and achey, it's more of my body trying to get used to doing strenous activities again. If I keep this up, it'll be fine. Back to FFXI....I finally hit lv. 30 with my war, which means I can now take a stab at all the advanced jobs....though I prefer the warrior I have now. I did go out and get the Dark Knight, but still haven't really used him yet. Guess I'll give it some time. Finally leveled my thief to 15 (woo! It's a huge geeky/nerdy section!) so I now have sneak attack and treasure hunter, which are fantastic skills. Hmmm. Had a rant...I can't remember right now though.... This post is very scatterbrained, isn't it? I'm just jumping all over the place. Did I mention how much I really like that avatar site. The one I'm using to make the faces for my mood section here. Amuses the hell outta me. Not feeling artsy enough to really do more than a few heads and faces for the GQT champ pic. But I do have a few heads. Was thinking of a theme, and I think I might have one. Hope everyone likes the feel of a nice breeze....^_^ Big loogie in throat right now. Trying to hack it out. *hacks* Ah yes, the rant. I was gonna go on about the lying thing. As I've stated before, lying is one of those inevitable things. No matter how high your ideals, or what you may believe about it, every once in a while you'll have to do it. Maybe it's to preserve something of importance (friendship, relationship, job, etc), but there's something you might wanna keep in mind. I understand the little white lies (though these are not really exempt from the rant) that you might say to make someone feel better. However, I've always felt that every time you lie, you are, in a way, admitting some kinda incompetence within yourself. Maybe it's the inability to be straightfoward (and not pussy foot around something) or just your lack the self esteem you really want (and therefore tell blown outta proportion lies to make yourself look good). Or even if it's just cause you screwed up and you try to hide the truth. Lying doesn't make the fact go away. Sure, you may turn the perceptions of other people into believing one thing over another, but you still know the truth. Sure, you may not care about this truth that exists, but it still sits there. You screwed up somehow. Whether that eats away at you or not is up to you, of course. And as always, the correctness of a lie varies with the situation. Maybe it's better sometimes. Maybe it's not. I guess I'm just a naive little boy who still believes that true power is not built within backstabbing, but within trust. Or maybe that's just optimistic. I like that better than being a little boy (lying to myself now....) Alright, rambled enough. Please gather up your books and read sections 2-3, making sure you do the essay on "What the hell is wrong with Seven?!" by my next entry. :D As usual.... Much love to Missa and Aya. <333333 Much luff to friends (you all know who you are, and if you don't, I'm gonna have to kick your ass). STL looks really snazzy in her pics. And Missa was right. Boobage. ^_^ Million and one other things running around my head, but if they can't link themselves into one, there's no use spewing them ^_^ 2 comments|post comment

Let the last dance begin.... [25 May 2004|01:03am] [Current Mood: Heh heh. Yes.] [Weapon of the day: Wanzers. Lots and lots of wanzers. ] [Current game of fancy: FFXI, but FM4 seems very appealing too. ] Let's start off with an amusing little thing... Saturday (or was it Sunday) Missa was reading some fanfiction when she mentioned she was annoyed that the author had put the fic in bold. However, what I heard was the author had written about a bowl... Missa: A bowl? o_O Seven: *looks over* Oh. It's in boooooold. Okee. Missa: Yes. It's the story of a bowl! T_T You're so weird. Seven: Hey! You never know! Missa: I should write a fic on a bowl...Once upon a time, there was a bowl... Seven: What kind of bowl you ask? Well, I don't wanna give away the plot!!!! And it just went downhill from there. We sat around discussing the bowl story for a bit. Was just very amusing. S'one of many reasons I love Missa more than anything. Discussions on anything. Including plotting stories about an almighty bowl. Hmm. What else. Ah yes. Prepping for the game this weekend. That also includes working on some HW that needs to be done. Then sweet freedom. *basks* My parents sent a giant box of stuff. Lots of food inside (as usual. Large stores of pocky! Wooo for pocky!) Also some clothes (shorts, a shirt, new pants, sandals) and money (as always). Deposited the check today (as well as the 20 dollar check Missa got for a referral to a group of tax people...things). Also called parents up and such to inform them of the move soon. As I said, deposited checks today. On the way out of the bank I saw my bus coming down the road with no chance for me to get to the stop. So I wandered into EB games for a bit. They had Front Mission 4 (in case you don't know, it's a mecha strategy rpg. The mechas are called wanzers, and they rock.) on demo. Awesome stuff. Played a stage for 15 minutes. The voice acting isn't bad. Game seems to take place in Europe. Or at least the part I played. Very cool. Comes out June 16th. Evil part is that it's gonna retail at the dumb 49.99 price T_T Though if I were to reserve now, I'd get the demo (with the 7 or so stages) as well as a mini-strategy guide :D Went back to levelling my monk in FFXI. Since my warrior is almost 30, I need my sub job (the monk) to keep up (as it needs to be at least half main job's level). Almost got to 16 today. First time partying in a while. Easy to do as a monk though. Just gotta pound on things. Still trying to figure out a good way to make money. Hmm. Had a rant. Something about perfection. I believe that while the idea of universal perfection does not exist, there is the possibility of perfection. Of course, this may be narrowed down to a certain time frame, as well as situation and such, but on a single view kinda purpose. So technically, it is possible to achieve a certain level of perfection, provided you know who's view of perfection you're striving for. I mean, this could be anything though. Some people view perfection as something easy to achieve, while others grasp it as something that's impossibly hard to attain. Dunno why this ran through my head really. But I thought I'd just spew it out. And that might be it for now. Think I'll get the final 250 xp to lv. 16. Or summat. Much love to Missa and the pig. <3 to all my friends. Smoting the monkeys. Or something. *bounces away* -Edit- DOH! I knew I forgot something. The title of the entry refers to the Stanley Cup finals. Starts tomorrow. Lightning versus Flames. Not cheering for either. I'm just gonna sit back and watch it unfold. ^_^ But good luck to both teams, and may Lord Stanley's mug wind up in my hands....~_^ 7 comments|post comment

Heee heeeeeee [15 May 2004|11:40pm] [Current Mood: Omoshiroi!!!! ] [Weapon of the day: Plantbane *swings bulky axe* ] [Current game of fancy: FFXI, of course. ^_^] Okay, time to share amusement. [03:07] * Chris has joined #gryffindor [03:07] * ChanServ sets mode: +o Chris [03:08] [Chris] anyone seen missa or seven? [03:08] [Dainslef] maybe [03:09] * Pit has quit IRC (Ping timeout) [03:09] [Chris] help me here *G* - recently? [03:09] [Dainslef] give me 10 [03:09] [Dainslef] minutes [03:09] [Dainslef] <--busy [03:09] [Chris] oki [03:19] [Dainslef] might have to make that another 10 T_T [03:23] [Chris] ok... :-s can you tell me - have they been around or? [03:23] [Dainslef] Of course they have [03:23] [Dainslef] they were on earlier [03:24] [Chris] you need ten minutes? [03:24] [Dainslef] yes [03:24] [Chris] ok [03:24] [Dainslef] why do you need them? [03:25] [Chris] i need a ref for this evening - i pm-ed Seven a couple of days ago, but he hasn't replied. [03:25] [Dainslef] Oops [03:25] [Dainslef] quaf or snitch? [03:25] [Chris] quaf [03:25] [Dainslef] usual time? [03:25] [Chris] i believe so yes [03:26] [Dainslef] I thought missa wa doing this game [03:27] [Chris] well i pm-ed Seven this time, because I asked Missa last time -- I don't really mind who does it, so long as there's a good gryff quaffle ref here tonight. [03:27] [Dainslef] there will be [03:27] [Dainslef] send stuff to me [03:27] [Dainslef] If Missa wants it, she'll ref [03:27] [Dainslef] If not, I will [03:27] [Chris] right, I'm going to embarrass myself now :) [03:27] [Chris] who are you? :) [03:27] [Chris] *G* [03:27] [Chris] *hides* [03:27] [Dainslef] <---Seven [03:28] [Dainslef] :D [03:28] [Chris] ...

Decided it'd be best to gather funds as a lot of things are getting expensive. So money is good. I go mining a lot. It's steady income. I'd camp NMs (notorious monsters - big baddies that drop items that sell for nice money) but you usually have to compete with so many others that it's just not all that worth it (sometimes). Also helping people gather their sub-job items (like that dumb magicked skull). Lots and lots of people. I think I should open a business just for that. I might make good funds ^_^ GQT has a game tomorrow! Go team! ^_^ Uh, let's see. Moving out soon, as most of you have probably heard. Back to the apartments we were in about 2 years ago. I like that place. Been on a weird sleeping schedule as of late. Not as in wake up and sleep times, but more of how much sleep I need. It seems after 8 hours, I become too lethargic. @_@ There was a rant in my head somewhere but I don't remember it at the moment. T_T Less than 30 days until 24 hits....two cycles on the zodiac baby! Magically enough, I don't feel all that old. (I know, it's not old, but it's a brain thing...I thought 20 was old and was depressed about that for a year for some reason). And...I think that might be it for now... *does sturmwind just to look impressive* I LOVE MISSA MORE THAN ANYTHING! Puppy is gonna suffer my wrath! Aya's a lovable dork. <3 to all friends. Randomness over. 1 comment|post comment

/em throws stones at the Steam Lizard until it's weak enough to take on by himself [18 Apr 2004|12:02am] [Current Mood: YOSH! ] [Weapon of the day: BARE HANDS! ] [Current game of fancy: Welcome to Vana'diel (FFXI, and FFXI and FFXI, and FFXI....) ] Hah hah. Yup. Been away a loooooooooong while. Kinda considering it my little vacation. Game is obviously fun, or I wouldn't be hooked. But still making practices (always good) and even botting! So, let's get the boring stuff outta the way. Freaking huge ass world, and I've only seen a little corner of it. Got to lv. 19 with my warrior, and then switched to a monk when I got the subclass option. Moving the monk to 15 before switching back, and then I'll get yummy stat boosting until my warrior hits 30 (and I can go on to do the Dark Knight quest!) Fishing, crafting, and all that good stuff. Partying with Japanese people (lots of emoticons and such when dealing with them). Just all around good fun :D Been e-mailing Jeff back and forth as of late, seeing as he now has comp access through one of my friend's parent's house (he's house sitting for them while they're away for a wedding). Planning evilness. Telling him to get published faster. Trying to convince him to get down here again sometime soon. He agrees. Likes warm weather. We'll see how that goes though. NHL playoffs are going. A few teams are already eliminated. Right now, we're listening to the Canucks (who blew a 4-0 lead @_@) in OT. My Avs have made it through to the next round. Hope they go all the way. What I hope for is an Avs vs Sens final. But a lot of that depends on if the Sens can make it past this round (as they're currently down 3-2 to the Leafs). Finally watched the Matrix Revolutions a little while ago. Wasn't as bad as everyone made it out to be. Hell, I didn't think it was bad at all. Only really miffing thing was an ending that seemed kinda open. Then again, the Matrix movies are more than just action (though they do have a lot of it). I love how they make you think sometimes. But maybe I'm overthinking it. Who knows. Kinda the same reason I hate literary analysis. I don't like looking for meanings in things that the writer themselves don't tell you they put in on purpose. With enough words, you can link anything...and yeah. It's cool to have ideas, but going further just miffs me somehow. Hmm. What else. Now that a few hours has passed and I've completely lost my train of thought. Nothing I guess. Hah hah. Gotta do HOL Idol, but not sure if my voice is up to it just yet....we'll see @_@ EXTRA NOTE: Missa is evil! She kept tickling me all day @_@ I dunno why, but I'm freakishly ticklish sometimes. Oh well. I LOVE MISSA MORE THAN ANYTHING :D (like you didn't know that already but hey, a reminder for you all anways!) 1 comment|post comment

I feel it in the Earth..... [16 Mar 2004|07:29pm] [Current Mood: Oro?! ] [Weapon of the day: Desert Eagle .50 Action Express (yum) ] [Current game of fancy: Resident Evils (of all sorts, but currently on 2) and Star Ocean - The Second Story ] The world has changed. I don't mean this in some "Boy, things used to be better back in the day" . I mean something has gone wonky. Really wonky. I can't put my finger on it at all. I think it started about two or three weeks ago. I remember it being a Sunday. Probably Oscar Sunday. After hitting the store and returning home, something suddenly just went...click. It's hard to explain. It's like one of those gut feelings or summat, you know. I felt the vibes of the world go wonky. Maybe I got hit on the head or something while I was out, but I just can't place my finger on it. Something's outta whack!!!!!!!! *looks around suspiciously* I can't say specifically WHAT it is, but something really feels outta place. Wonder if I wandered through dimensions on that walk home...hmmm.... Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanyways. My parents are sending me my tax stuff from Canada. Not sure what I'm gonna do about that, but I guess I'll find out. Will probably have to call around and such to find the right way to do things. I always thought you didn't have to do taxes if you made zilch over a year. Or maybe that was just a weird thing I heard as a kid. *shrugs* The moving plan is now in motion. It appears that Missa's bro will be moving in with us. Which is a big bonus on both sides. Since we'll be able to split the rent, that allows more funds to be diverted to things like....food. ^_^ Not sure if it's gonna be possible to make some of the trips that are being planned at the moment. However, I'm no psychic, so I can't make guarantees on either end. ^_^ Hmm. Got Missa really hooked on Initial D. She loves the show. Watches it almost religiously, with plots of slashiness dancing in her head. Cars go zoom really fast with funky turns on mountain road. *drools* Ooh, finally found an envelope (kept forgetting to buy them everytime I headed out) so Rehta's check is finally on it's way! Hopefully, those dorks at the ACT haven't used that check. I'm sure they're still two behind or something. Been reading quite a bit recently. If you see me on IRC, and I'm not responding, it's very likely that I'm reading something. I just sit and read with Aya wandering around. Considering it took me 8 months to finish Lunatic Cafe (I read five pages a week or so...and then when I started actually reading the whole book, I had to backtrack so I could remember what I originally read), I've finished about 2 or 3 within the past week or so. Not bad for me. I read slower than molasses :D, but I retain things pretty well (minus biology texts and math texts and any other crappy school textbook). Missa's bro wants to get FFXI, and I'm pondering if I should join in for that venture. The thing is, I don't want to get the game and then not be able to play it if he doesn't wanna move out with us. I mean, there's a very good chance he will (as we think on all fronts) but you never know. Biggest bonus of having him with us in the apartment right now is that he'll have a vehicle. He's just learning to drive, but still. Vehicular item = good. Especially when you want to cart things from the grocery store. It's not all that far from the apartments, but if you're planning to get a couple of big things, it's definitely nice. I'm plotting things for Dainslef. Basically, the characters, the true plot of the story, and a few other things. What this probably means is that in a little bit, I'll probably be doing character sketches. I like sketching (out of all the artsy things). It's just so relaxing. And it looks cool. I mean, I used to color alright, but I think my strongest artsy ability may be sketching/drawing. Feels very rusty as of late though, because I don't work it out enough. Guess it might be time to start flexing that muscle again. This is probably the first time I've said this, but as much as I love being in HOL, I can definitely see myself leaving soon. Well, maybe soon isn't the word for it. I just feel that in a short amount of time (it's all relative, isn't it?) that there probably won't be much time for it anymore. Of course, I'd probably make time for it and such, but it's definitely one of the things I'm pondering. Mind you, that doesn't mean I wouldn't be on IRC or what not. It just means I'd be out of classes and such, and maybe even quidditch. Maybe. Highly doubtful, but since it wandered into my head, I thought I'd let it out. As I said, I'm currently zombie hunting with a little RPGing on the side. Zombies will always be my friends (in that "I'm gonna blow your freaking head off if you come any closer!" kinda way). It's just fun to play those games again and again. Sadly enough, I've forgotten so much about the older Resident Evils. I got startled twice already in RE2 (and I'm not even 1/4 of the way done) by a set of crows coming through the window and those dang cerebri that attacked me from behind T_T. Love it though. It's a weird rush. And it's nice to feel this weird sense of fear. Now we have Star Ocean 2 on the side. Crazy RPG that allows you to craft things outta ...well, almost everything. You learn cooking skills. The biggest reason I got this game again (or rather, Missa got this game for me :D) is because I'm sure that near the end of the game...THERE'S AN IRON CHEF TOURNAMENT! I remember the set-up, but I wasn't watching Iron Chef back then. So I'm going through the game to make sure. Either way, it's good. Minus the horrid voice acting. Very deep game it be. Now, I was sure there was something else in my head about 5 minutes ago (before I watched that Final Fantasy thing Terra-chan sent me) but I really can't remember for the life of me. Only thing I remember now is that I'm in a race with my friend Jeff to see who can get rich first. Either way, one one gets rich, the other is supposed to get a share of it. That was our deal. I think he may be closer right now (unless I win the lottery). He's already got a book done and sending it around. No news yet, but I have my fingers crossed for the dood. Heh heh. Okee, I think I'm gonna bugger off to look at comps that we might purchase. Was gonna make more faces for LJ mood icons, but the site has gone over it's bandwidth limit for the month or summat. So I'm gonna have to wait. I already have about 6-7 done, but I had a few more in mind. Oh well, maybe later then ^_^ *wanders off by rolling away* 1 comment|post comment

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWNNNNNNN [22 Feb 2004|11:19pm] [Current Mood: Headachey ] [Weapon of the day: Lobster Ravioli. ^_^] [Current game of fancy: FFX, RE2, RE:CVX...It's a weird cycle] Pounding be my head. I might actually sleep before 11 tonight. Which is just scarily wrong. Aya's already out cold, so I really should take that as my cue to pass out too. Got Missa to watch Initial D. She seems to like it alright. Waiting for disk four now. It'll take about 8-9 DVDs to finish season one (if they keep this up). But on the bright side of things, I already have season 2 and the OVA. ^_^ Missa also started watching Saiyuki. Said it's good. I know the base plot of the original Saiyuki (it's an old story about the monk Sanzo's journey west....characters and some mission things seem the same, but it's called Genso, meaning it's alternate universe, or made from the imagination). Got to the Calm Lands in FFX. Got the Sun Sigil in 15 minutes! *dances* But haven't gone any farther. Then again, there hasn't been much time to do that kinda stuff the past couple of days. Just cycling through the games, playing whatever floats the current boat. Can't wait to see Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes. That's looking superb. And they re-recorded a lot of dialogue too. Finally, the peak of the current systems is near. That means the best games are about to come. *does a little dance again* I'm sure most of you have heard the quidditch story already. Plans were thrown out of whack when the rents decided to bug bomb the house on Saturday. So we head to the Uni to play (after dropping Aya off). Uni comps are now password locked for Uni students only. So we hit the public comps in the Student Union building. I played the game on CGI from there (restarting CGI every 15 or so minutes since it boots you off after a certain amount of time). Missa felt she couldn't adjust to the keyboard or playing conditions, so we thought Merlinda should take her spot. A good chunk of this I predicted a few nights before. Dunno what it was, but I felt I should warn the team on what goes where in case we didn't show up. And we almost didn't. But the team was fab. Ravens were good too, definitely kept us on our toes. Rehta did her fanatasmical thing (woo, new word) and caught the snitch. Final score 150-50. Much respect to the Ravenclaw team. Much sex and love to my GQTers. I am sorry I am so high stress on you all ^_^ (at least for that game). Definitely promise to never do that again. Especially the constantly disappearing thing. Oh, sex and love to all that played the game. Cyn *pats and oozes on her*, Fancypants (who did an excellent job in holding the offense together), Merlinda (who played on last minute warning, and played great at that! :D), Lily (because of her mad skillz in the department of book 5 and it's many obscurities) and of course, Yankee, who I told to hold the fort (no pressure). Arianna gets a thumbs up too for going into #refchan (for volunteering for that job too). My STL gets a major poke to the pancreas for giving up her chasing spot this game for Fancy. Oh, I also *swoon* for Jadey (cause Jadey's all that, and then some) and bat my eyelashes at Rehta. Ah, what the hey *snogs the team* That includes Sio, Mia, Selena Assja, Mary, Arty (whew...think that's everyone). Maybe partial fondle to Orby, who's not quite team anymore (and ran off with Rae instead of helping to hold the fort! ~_^) And again, many apologies if I knocked a bunch of years off your life. :D *partial edit* I deserve death! I was so busy counting off the teamsters I forgot to put the mushy part in (which I was doing before it screwed up the paragraph...planend to save it for last anyways...seems corny and dramatic like). Quite easily put, I LOVE MISSA! *snogs and nibbles* My bestest MEOW-MEOW! *cuddles* We went to a hockey game after the quid game. It was alright. Aya seemed to enjoy quite a bit of it (until the end). The local team (UofA team) spent the night trying to play rough, but didn't do a good job of it. Final score was like...4-1, with the U of A losing 4-5 people to misconducts and such. Heh heh. Tonight (or this afternoon) we went to the Macaroni Grill for dinner (or breakfast, as was the case for Missa and myself). Got lots of food. Still full. Missa got a vodka and coke (but it was Smirnoff vanilla vodka, and it made a really nice drink) and I got a Romano coffee thingy with Kahlua and baileys in it with all sorts of other stuff. Also got an ultimate leaning Bellini. That was delicious. For food, we had a Stuffed Portabello *drools again* for an appetizer, then we had Lobster Ravioli (myself), Chicken Portabello (Missa) and a Veal Parmesan (can't spell that) to split with Aya. I drew a whole bunch of stuff on the paper placemat to entertain Aya. Alright. Working up to this. But I might be too freaking tired for it to come out right. So pardon me if it's disjointed, unitellegible ramble. Somewhere along the way (as far as the human race goes) someone implanted into world's head that the truly smart are those that are "level-headed" or "unbiased". And then it just sickening to see people try to pull it off without much success, but they'll keep telling themselves that they are such (cause after all, who doesn't want to be smart?). But it's a lie folks. No one is completely level headed. Why? Cause you're human. Which means deep down, you care for something. And when something you care for gets bashed, you will defend it. Whether it be friends or family, thoughts or ideals. Which also means that nobody is unbiased. That emotions rule a lot more than reason sometimes. That people band together to become groups (cause it's how survival in the world is really tolerable) and when such happens, you defend those people because they are kin to you in one way or another (maybe not family by blood, but another type of family). So there is always bias. And there is always more than one reason for things that go wrong. That again, one person's good is another's evil. I am just stating this in the usual outcry of blargh and bleh that runs around. There is no true right or wrong. There are multiple ways to accomplish something. And no one factor is the supreme cause of anything. A gun doesn't fire because someone squeezed the trigger. It could go as far back (in many directions) to the maker of guns, to the raising of the individual who fired the weapon, the actions of whatever/whoever they're firing at. Heck, in the end, everyone may have some blame as to whether or not something happens, but the they are not brought to light unless the society or individual views it as an important item to watch for. This is partially due to what some may consider to be negative posts in the last little while. I don't really consider them negative. I applaud all posts that try to defend something they believe and care for. However, there is a side of me that feels that some posts mindless due to the nature of the world. It's a lock between feeling good about how good it is to see people always willing to defend their ideals, but a semi-depression from knowing that some people will never look beyond their own world. Not because they can't. But because they are so entrapped into their idea that "I am right". There is no right. It's not in the whole "put yourself in other people's shoes" kinda shit. Cause you can't think like other people. The emotions that run through them and their thought processes. But you can understand that's how they are, and accept that without any ill feelings (or condescending emotions). Maybe I'm talking the impossible. Maybe I don't know what I'm talking about at all. My head hurts. Heh heh. Very tired. I just rambled with whatever came to mind. So don't mind me if it doesn't make any sense what so ever. ...There is another thing. It was something cool that I remembered while pondering over the nature of classifcation of oneself. Are you smart? Are you strong? I told myself once, "I can never tell anyone everything about myself. Not because I'm secretive or what not. It's because of the many factors that lie within myself, and my environment. What I tell someone can change within the day. And in the end, I am still trying to find out more about myself as well. I am just me (gah! classified anyways!)" Heh heh. My friend shortened that to "If I ever tell you everything about myself, it is a lie, for there is still an infinite amount of things I still have to discover about myself." Or summat. I am now beyond exhausted. No idea why. So I end it here. Gotta remember to make some icons/siggys for people. Gotta finish up Orange contest. Wanna make new icons dealing with Fight Club. Definitely gonna use the lines from the "Chemical burn" scene. Mmm. Fight Club. 1 comment|post comment

*brandishes chokuto* HAVE AT YOU! [13 Feb 2004|04:38pm] [Current Mood: Boink. I mean, yoink! *shakes fist at Rehta* ] [Weapon of the day: SCPH - 10010, Made in China] [Current game of fancy: Whatever I want, cause we're back in business ] Hee. MISSA IS THE BESTEST EVER! EVER I SAY! AND I LOVE HER MORE THAN ANYTHING! NOW SQUIRM AT THE MUSHINESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hee, well, I'm sure some of you know that my PS2 pretty much died on me (at least the DVD portion of things) a few weeks ago. Well, yesterday, when we went to the mall, Missa got me a new one! HEEEEEEEEEEEEE! *squees and bounces around* Been cycling games all morning (yes, morning, as I had babysitting duty). Currently on FFX again ^_^ Pretty much almost have USCIS (changed again ~_~) forms done. I need to get a few pictures done, but I'm not doing that until I get my hair cut...and maybe a slight color change ^_^. It's going to be a color called fish bowl! Look for it at your nearest Hot Topic. :D Of course, that means I'm gonna have to bleach my hair again, but that turned out quite cool last time. I am 10 hours away from getting the Initial D OVA. *twitches* So close. It's almost two hours long. Hee. Come to me precioussssss. Uh...so tired. I had some kinda...talkie thing...about...talkie things. Something about...more value stuff. Blargh. You'll have to wait. I'm just too @_@ today. Oh, as usual, love to all. *hands out* And since it's Valentine's day, have an extra dose. And...uh...I dunno. *spins* (Obviously, I am quite out of it) 1 comment|post comment

Sore wa himitsu desu... [31 Jan 2004|01:51am] [Current Mood: T_T ] [Weapon of the day: Cough drops. They've gotten me through the day so far] [Current game of fancy: Nothing....and again, will explain why] Twice in a month. What are the odds? So, I suffer another week of having a cold (with a nasty cough...that's the annoying part). My throat doesn't really hurt. It just itches all the time. The only good thing that I've figured out with this cold is that Dayquil is kick ass. Soothes the throat so nicely. And it doesn't taste as nasty as Nyquil. Yeah, you might say that I should try cherry flavored Nyquil, but I'm not a big fan of cherries. PS2 is on the mend. Hopefully. Will have to open her up again tomorrow and see if I can do anything. The DVD laser seems to have died. Why, I'm not sure. It's been running fine for the past month, and then today, it just stopped working. Cleaned the lens, but no go. So I opened her up for some voltage tuning, but the screw won't turn at all. So I gave up, as I ran outta time (people coming home, needing my operating table). Thinking about proposing a few things to the quidditch board. The first has to do with the question sets. I feel, even after editing them, they can use more work. Because you don't catch as much editing (usually, for me, it gets so monotonous I actually miss simple things >_<). With more play, you realize how the question can be interpreted in so many different ways. I left a lot of long answer Qs thinking that there might be a way to shorten the answer (long answer for refs only) but I also missed a lot of last names stuff. And every once in a while, a "In book _". But yeah. I wouldn't mind working on it over the summer again. Make them better. It's for the benefit of all. The second quiddy thing dates back to the first year. Just curious if there's anyway to bring back points for winning and such. Not to the magnitude of 10,000, of course. But a nice consolation prize. Eh, who knows. Will think about. Of course, all this applies to next year. Initial D binge continues. I have downloaded the complete second season *waves flag*. Which just leaves the OVA now. That's 600+ mb. So that'll take a while. Probably won't download at all next week. I'd be better off spending my time botting. Must get faster. The cold has really slowed me down to the speed of molasses. Not to mention I need to get used to the laptop being on a decent desk height. It'll take a little bit, but it should work out in the end. Anyone who celebrates the Lunar New Year, I hope you had a good time! :) Year of the Monkey baby! I start my third twelve year cycle this year. Means I turn 24. Wow. I remember back when I was twelve thinking this would be a long ways away. Never pictured myself to be where I am now. But that's alright. If life were that predicatable, what fun would that be? Hattie sent a cool card (late Christmas card ^_^). Had a wax seal. Purple/maroon. Like Hogwarts. Hee. Of course, it could stand for Hattie too....but amused. Very cool stuff. Love all the cards we got this year. Blue's bookmark really kicks ass. *waves Blue flag* Kai's cookies were awesome too. Though there aren't anymore of those...*eyes Yankee*. Ahem. Finally got the things my parents sent. Three day express ends up taking almost three weeks. Not sure who's fault it is. It didn't get lost. It just took forever. With the money, we got a few things, and we also went to a Vietnamese restuarant. They actually served authentic Chinese food too. Was really nice. Kinda nostalgic. Talking with Kai about this the other day. Heh heh. I really do miss the food. Don't care if it's healthy or unhealthy (pats dim sum). I just miss the taste. *drools* Amusing things this week include the Mary bot that ate the scores. Hee. We finally fixed it up this week. Hopefully it'll last for a bit. A lot of teamsters in this semester. But that's to be expected with the botting rage that's been going on. Hope it keeps up. Hope I can keep up. Oh, I'm being paid to clean the house. I got $50 last week (since it was the first week, and the house was quite a mess) and $30 a week from here on in to keep it clean. I don't mind it at all. Just gotta remember to do the living room again (with 12 cats, the living room never lasts more thant 3-4 days) and the bathroom (which is quite clean, but I can polish some things up). It's a nice little bit of funding I guess. Ooh. I got to drive this week. Twice. Now, most people wouldn't be so ecstatic at this, but I must point out that I haven't driven a car in about two years now. But the bigger thing is that my license expired...oh, about two years ago. So technically, I shouldn't be driving. But it was cool. It's been a while. Maybe it's just Initial D syndrome. Cars are just so fun to drive. Soooooo relaxing. Unless you're balancing a soda while you're at it, cause there are no cup holders ^_^;; I'm pretty sure this entry is already crazy types of long. But guess what. It's ranting time. *cracks knuckles* Okay, was watching MTV a little while ago (there was something amusing on) and you know what I realized. Everyone says, about someone else "They're just being themselves, and that's what gets them so far." Ahem. Okee, think about this. That phrase can never go wrong. Everyone who uses that phrase is telling the truth, to some degree. How? Basically, if you were faking, then at that moment you said that phrase, you were lying too. But...I am always myself doesn't state whether or not you're a liar or not. It just states that you are you. Meaning if you are a liar, then you were telling the truth. Confusing, huh? ^_^ But yeah. You can't go wrong with those phrases. Which is probably why people use them. It sounds so good, but it can be so wrong. Cliques and power. This one amuses me too. Because everyone wants to belong. But as humans, deep down, some of us want power. Some of us do have power. But some groups hold more sway then others, and that miffs people off. It's easier to hold sway as a group, because one person fighting against a group isn't very good odds, unless that person is magically skilled at such things. I guess the thing is, I just think it's semi-hypocritical to complain about cliques when you are in one yourself. Sure, they may abuse power and such, but do you do the same? Whatever. I had something more, but it broke. Even catch myself doing it sometime. Don't hate myself, cause sometimes it's just emotion, and it's nice to go with that gut feeling. But when I think back, I also think it's foolish to preach one way and act another. I guess no human is exempt from this type of hypocrisy. This is probably because the many ideals that are available to the world right now (the ones you can grow up with) are filled with so many contradictions that it's hard to keep track. And then it also falls on the individual and what he or she puts more value into. But yar. Maybe it's time for some new values and stuff to be found. Or some organization. There was a third. Dammit. I was gonna give three for the price of one! I hate it when I forget! *baps head repeatedly* Glargh! Whatever. Death! Doom! Apocalypse! I AM THE ALPHA AND THE OMEGA! THE BEGINNING AND THE END!!!!!!....I've been wanting to put that somewhere for quite a while now. But yar, outta here now. *hands out love to people* *normal doses to friends* *extra doses to teamsters* *super extra doses to the afterhours gang (bounces off Yankee, Stl, Rehta, Terra-chan, SquishyCyn, Jade*swoons*, and LilywhoisinsanebutnotquiteasinsaneasJade)* *full power mega ultra super dose to my beautiful and bestest Missa, as well as my annoying but adorable Aya.

Gamble! You got a chance to make a rumble.... [13 Jan 2004|07:32pm] [Current Mood: Oooki? ] [Weapon of the day: 1986 Toyota Corolla Trueno (for that run you over goodness) ] [Current game of fancy: Final Fantasy X-2 still...] It never fails. I'm like Frodo Baggins, minus the shortness, the hairy feet, and the overall funny look that most hobbits have. New Years day arrives, and I get sick (like Frodo who gets sick on injury anniversaries). Usually, it's not too bad (most of the time, it's a headache, and just fatigue), but this year, it had the works. Sore throat, runny nose, aches and just all around suckiness. Bright side of things. I can breathe again. Kind of. It's taken a week for my nose to clear up to the point where I can actually use it again. Been a real pain in the ass. But oh well. Tempted to stab the post office on both sides of the border. My parents sent their package on the 20th of December (by express post, so Aya would be able to get a birthday + Christmas present before the respective days). Tracking says that it gets Stateside around the 23rd. After that, no one has any idea where it is. So, been calling around, checking to see if there's anything that can be done, but apparently, it'll have to be handled by the sender. *sits and twiddles thumbs* Really getting back into the Initial D groove lately. Mmm. It's more than just cars and racing! It's about one's inner drive, and crafty adults who manipulate things! And boys (as well as girls) getting overly competitive. Technical items here and there spice things up. Love the show. Maybe not so much the animation style (second season is nice and colorful, but some of the characters look weird). I wish I could kick Tokyopop's ass and make them release 4-5 eps a DVD. Three a dvd sucks, even if it is priced at 15 bucks. But yeah. Besides picking up the third Initial D DVD and the fourth Super GALs DVD (pats Meesha repeatedly and nibbles), I've also been looking around for eps of second stage (second season of Initial D, which is 13 eps long. Then there's extra stage, which follows the girl drivers for 50 minutes...meh...and Third Stage, which is an OVA, about Takumi finally realizing a few things). So far, working on ep 3. Only 5 more hours to go! Better start burning some of these so I don't clutter up the laptop. After slacking off for a full month, I figured it's high time I kicked it back into gear. Last night was the first time in a long time where I tackled four bots at once. Needless to say, it wasn't all that great. Mind you, there's also the book 5 factor. Need to work on those. Immensely. But at least my right hand is behaving again. Hmm. There was something else...but it appears to have completely slipped my mind...ah well. Ah yes! I had a dream. It was a LotR dream. But modern day. And the characters were like, Missa, me and some other people I didn't know. Missa started reading the whole opening scene, like the first movie. And then this girl (no idea, some lady with dark hair...couldn't see her face) played the violin for all the music that was in the movie. I think I ended having to play three of the characters (Aragorn, Gandalf and Legolas) while this other guy played the hobbits and Gimli. No idea what happened to Boromir. Missa kept narrating the story, and her hair kept changing color everytime I looked at her. Needless to say, it was quite weird. We charged through malls and streets. We even stormed a couple of stores (not the GAP of Rohan....though I was sure my mind would twist it into that) and chopped down what were supposedly "orcs" (they looked more like customers, but brandishing weapons and such). Somehow, when Boromir (edit - I REMEMBER NOW! Some guy came outta nowhere and tried to take it from the other guy - end edit) tried to take the ring, we ended up at the end of the series. Aya took the one ring and tossed it into a Burger King deep fryer, and we all went home and had pizza, discussing all the adventures we had. Remind me never to have mushroom pizza and a piece of chicken before I go to bed next time ^_^ Oh right. New year already. Most people would make a resolution or summat, but I'd just like to thank everyone reading for being part of my life. Whether your part in it be big or small. Of course, bigger thanks go out to people like...oh, say Missa, for marrying a nut like myself, and putting up with his weirdness, and apparently, his snoring powers :p (loves Missa who snores too). The afterhours gang (Rehta, Sis-type lady, Terra-chan, Yankee, Moilie, Sel-e baby and that old guy that sits around...:p), for just being an amusing bunch, and providing many entertaining moments through out the year. You guys are awesome. <3 you all. But yeah. Whether my experience with you be good or bad, in a way, I thank you, for you have made me who I am today. And since I have no regrets on being me, I would say your effort, whether with detrimental intent or not, has been important in that process. Whether you like it or not. Whether I like or dislike you. Doesn't matter. Efforts and variables from all sides get a nod, in one way or another. And with that, I leave you with the prime proof that Seven is always pretty... Derek: *glares at Seven* just... *groans and rolls eyes* Seven: Did you just have an orgasm from looking at me?</font> 2 comments|post comment
