Yesterday I went to a nice little restaurant with my sister. It made me really happy :D
Since my sister moved away, we rarely get to do stuff together. Even though she still comes and visits us in many weekends, she is always in a hurry, we barely get to have a few nice chats before she has to leave.
But those rare times we do get to do stuff together, I see we are as close as ever ^^

Wow, I seriously had a dream where I went out driving and all of a sudden got hit by multiple tornadoes.
Never thought I'd say it but thank god I woke up this early for my 7 AM shift for once.
Oh BTW, remember those Twilight candies I spoke about the yesterday? My co-worker sunk to a new low when I spoke with her about them:
ME: Twilight aside, why are they selling them as Sweethearts? It's not even Valentine's Day anymore!
CO-WORKER: Hey, in the world of Bella and Edward, EVERY DAY is Valentines! :D
Christ.
Speaking of, I work with her in a few moments. Lord help me.

Goddamn it. I wish I wasn't so goddamn lonely. I wish I had a bunch of close friends who could watch me or another friend play an RPG and laugh together. Someone to hang out and spend time with IRL. Hell, I'm wishing I could see my sister, just to get out of the house, be introduced to her two kittens and hopefully do some stuff together. In regards to that, Dad says, "We'll get some money in." Real uplifting.
I don't even feel like writing, but I've been down in the dumps with that anyway. Especially since my laptop crashed with the one fic I'm actually proud of... go figure, I forgotten to back that one up. Especially since so much heart got wasted into a disappeared one-shot I probably won't get back and I'm already questioning the worth of my chaptered stuff.
Hell, it's sad enough I feel like crying now. Is it really getting to me that much?

The American cover for KOFXII will also be the Japanese cover.
(At least, if you check out XBox Live that's how things seem to roll.)
Also, the KOFXII section on Live is finally up, with trailers, and now three Premium and Basic themes.
Still waiting those icons, SNK.

Hmmm. I just read a very good posing argumentative question right now:
"Whats better in the eyes of the church? Sinners who get married, or non-believers who get married?"
[in response to a Gay Marriage discussion]
In other words, if the government bans gay marriage, due to religious issues, shouldn't that mean atheists/non-religious be banned from getting married too?
Unfortunately, I don't have an answer and I don't think anyone could really have an answer.
Hmm..

My parents got divoriced yesterday. :/
I really have no feelings towards it, or my mom anymore. To tell you the truth, she doesn't exist anymore. It's been nearly a year and I have no idea who she is, and she has missed what's going on with me in my life. It really pisses me off and it makes me a nervous wreck when she pops up at my work to say hi randomly. Or tells me she wants to go have breakfast and stuff.
Sorry to say, I'm not holding a grudge. But, she just doesn't... get it. She hasn't even shown [to me] any remorse for the pain and crap she's put our family through. Nothing. I don't know if she's STILL drinking or not, but either way it'll take a good 6 months-1 year until her head is clear. Hopefully the denial will stop. I mean, how can you come around after all of this and say "let's go out to eat"? without the words "even though I hurt you so much, but I want to come around and pretend nothing ever happened."
If you understand how powerful an addiction is, then you get it. If you don't, you'll just have to google things. :/ I can try all day to explain how I feel. But, alot of people just don't understand. And that's okay. You don't understand until you actually FEEL it. I guess? But, the best advice I can give to those who don't understand, but have a friend going through my similar situation; just listen. Don't make that person feel like their wasting your precious time. The best thing someone can do is talk about it.
I also guess it really hurts to know a beverage was chosen over me, kinda makes me wonder where I stand on the 'worth' scale. e_e
I'm come to find I keep to myself quite more, and more. I'm more anxious and short tempered. I stress about 40% more than I usually do.
Enough of my rant. But, I have a ton of plans to try and keep me feeling good.
Today after work, Jordan and I went to Delray for the grand opening of House of Sweets which is quite delicious.
I'm taking a vacation I believe the 22nd. ^^ I'm going to ask my manager if I can just take my two weeks straight. I think I really need this, not just from work. But, from my personal life.
Starting the first 2-3 days of my vacation I'm going to take a trip to Cape Coral and see Tiffany. After that the rest of the first week is going to be working strictly on on jewelry for Stitch Rock. I'm almost done on getting all the supplies I need. :D I need a few displays and my shop banner made, and I think that's it. Lorna has helped me a ton on getting things organized since this is my first craft show. I'm so excited!
August 22nd, I'm going to see Vickie for her baby shower in orlando.
Anddddd.. October 3rd is Stitch Rock! n_n
Another thing, Jordan reminds me that I don't like zombie movies. xD
That is all. :B

So today myself, the hubby, the boys, the Evee and the In-Laws all packed up and drove about 50 miles out of town to a little place called Stanton, Missouri. What's so special about Stanton?
It's home to Meramec Caverns.
I've seen signs for Meramec Caverns many times on my trips down to Texas to visit the In-Laws but I'd never been before. I was kind of stoked, to be honest. I've never been in a natural cave before, not really, and while this cave has been significantly 'tamed' (as spelunkers call caves that are toured), I was still excited. I was gonna go caving! 8D
And Meramec didn't disappoint in the slightest. ♥
( Dive into the caves! (Warning: Image heavy!) )
The tour was hard on the old legs in a lot of places, especially the stairs part, but ohgod it was SO worth it. SOso worth it.
I'm already looking forward to going again sometime. Armed with a little more sense of how to take pictures in there! 8Db ♥

| The not Red Ring of Death (but close enough) |
[11 Jul 2009|08:10pm] |
My 360 decided to overheat today for no reason and I have the two red lights on the ring. It's not the RRoD so it's supposed to fix itself after it's powered down for a while. I hope it does because Microsoft charges $100 to fix it even though they should be fixing it for free. If it doesn't fix itself I might just wrap the 360 up with towels to force it to overheat even more and give me the RRoD so Microsoft will fix it for free.
And right after I bought Point Lookout too. Son of a bitch.

Fuck me for not saying, "Correction:Not just any star, the Sun" to that troll in that community.
Fuck always having to hide how much things like that hurt me, because if I let anyone know that something they did hurt, they'll keep doing it to an even stronger degree.
Fuck my mother for starting her financial stress tyrades again. Just because Justin isn't calculatedly vocal about looking for a better job like my brother's false as fuck girlfriend, doesn't mean he's not doing so every day. Fuck my mom again for relating to someone who's every word and action is a calculated attempt to hide their true motivations and true nature. It feels like I'm the only one in the house who sees this, but I know my Dad sees it, too. Why did my brother let her back in?

I know what I want to do with my life and it sure as fuck doesn't involve math or the bullshit they pass off as science. And there is no fucking way a person can read a page and a half long article and answer ten or so evaluation questions in eight minutes.
You know, fuck "standardized" tests in general.
Why is it that my entire life has to be based on whether or not I can fill in fucking bubbles correctly?
I know I'm bitter because I can't pass the math portion of the ACT, but I have every right to be.
So, fuck the ACT, fuck standardized tests, and most of all, fuck the People In Charge. Nothing, save regular school, should cause so many panic attacks and stress.

Settling in more or less well these days. I've finally been able to square away my debts, since I'm not spending nearly as much as usual. Kenny's a pretty easy guy to get along with, so no troubles there. Again, I was really surprised that Nia took to living in a new place as well as she did, and has become a lot friendlier and more active, if a bit weird. (She likes laps, but only on her own terms- if you pick her up she squirms away, but if she pulls herself up, she settles down. Also sometimes she goes downstairs backwards.) I'm back to drawing on a sort of regular pace, took my comic off hiatus, and I feel like I have ideas again, and not just a routine.
It's better, but it's not good just yet.
I've pretty much decided that I can't be really happy without some kind of a creative outlet, whether I just bitch about old Nintendo games or if I'm preferably creating stupid things I enjoy doing. I'm starting work on a 'remastered' RK chapter that I can print as a promotion thing at conventions, and submit to some of the bigger smaller publishing places. I decided pretty early on that I probably wouldn't enjoy working for the likes of Marvel and DC, where you're expected to draw other people's characters and stories, using the 'house styles' as a guide, and all that. I'd really rather be just a self sufficient cartoonist type, like these syndicated newspaper people who can work out of the house.
Well, I suppose every minute I spend on here yammering about it makes it less convincing that I'll actually do it. Ta~

I have no godly idea why, but over at work they're selling new "Twilight Sweetheart" candies. I'm not joking, it's those little candy hearts you get for Valentine's Day except with Twilight-themed flavors and messages on them.
That's a bit TOO much, seriously.
BTW, this comic about Peach and Daisy's pretty funny.
Off to a 9 - 5 shift. Oh, and I got a new lab coat since I've been working the Photo Lab as of late. I'll look SMASHING now. ;D

Kate Bush - Hounds of Love |
] |
So I finally got to see UP with Dad and my brother. I liked it; Pixar films have been a lot more mature lately, so that makes me happy. I didn't cry, but my Dad did quietly. The best part for me was the dogs, definitely. They reminded me so much of Amanda and Freddie (Haha, "Cone of Shame" is right. XD), especially with how alike Dug and Freddie are. They're both so stupid and cheerful and sweet, and the quote in my icon definitely clinched it for me. Gods. It's so easy to gloss over dogs in movies these days, but Dug looked so much like a real Golden Retriever with fur so sleek and soft that I wanted to hug him and let him lick my face. Also the Doberman with the broken voice communicator; I can definitely see Amanda speaking like that and expect to be taken seriously. :P Nothing like a Pixar movie to remind me how much I love my dogs, huh? 'Cause now I have Kate Bush's "Hounds of Love" stuck in my head. It's the ultimate I-Love-Dogs song, I swear. T-T
While I was watching the movie, I couldn't quit thinking about the little girl with cancer that so badly wanted to see UP that Pixar themselves brought a DVD of the movie to her house so she could watch it before passing on. The article mentioned something about how she loved Pixar movies, one of the reasons being that she loved animals. Hell, is it sad to think of Mom's old parrot, Catherwood, and mention to Dad wondering what it'd be like if we got a colorful new female parrot named Kevin? I dunno, I think Kevin makes a nice ring for a girl's name. Then there's the dogs. Mention UP to me, I think of balloons and dogs. I hope there's a ton of animal goodness up there for the little girl. That's enough to fill tons of pages in an Adventure Book, right? Having dogs does that to ya. And pets. No wonder animals make me so happy. Constant affectionate love they give, especially dogs. Guuuh.
I still think WALL-E's my favorite Pixar film. But this one was nice. Yesh.
• Post ten of any pictures currently on your hard drive that you think are self-expressive.
• NO CAPTIONS!!! It must be like we're speaking with images and we have to interpret your visual language just like we have to interpret your words.
• They must ALREADY be on your hard drive - no googling or flickr! They have to have been saved to your folders sometime in the past. They must be something you've saved there because it resonated with you for some reason.
• You do NOT have to answer any questions about any of your pictures if you don't want to. You can make them as mysterious as you like. Or you can explain them away as much as you like.
( Picture Spam )
Alas, I feel so bitter these days, with the need to criticize about absolutely everything. Am I becoming like Fredrickson? Am I becoming too skeptical? Jaded? Apathetic? No need to say it, I already know something's wrong with me. But what do I do?

There are two things that are making me go to bed now that I have stayed up in this ungodly hour of 4 am:
*I need to remove the comment tracking on the SBG application post because the help I promised the future Tails player has been done already and I keep forgetting to do this.
*What made me realize this was that I saw an 18-part application for Revolver/Liquid Ocelot in my e-mailbox.
18 parts.
Eighteen.
That's almost as much as two tens.
Good lord that was a novel, it was like a well-put finely-tuned body of literature which covered all the amounts of trivia and lulz regarding Ocelot and his misadventures and included a link to a funny cat food commercial for some particular reason. That wasn't an application, it was a story.
Anyone that submits a huge app like this which humorously but still (mostly) accurately puts together the mass of backstory mess that Kojima and his writing staff have amassed for a couple of decades deserves to be approved for life.
