9:54 pm	Ramblings Wal-Mart sucks. Balls. But I MUCH prefer this wal-mart to the B-ham one. People actually say "thank you" in North Attleboro. Managers are understanding, have realistic expectations, and don't fry you for making an honest mistake. And we get home made chocolate Chip cookies after particularly hard days. Mostly I just like feeling appreciated. Hearing a "thank you" from the store manager, the assistant managers, and my own supervisor is just... nice. After the two summers at B-ham, it's a VERY welcome change. Made some friends there. Alysha and her fiance, Nick. Nice people. Alysha kinda reminds me of Missy pre-blowout... Nick is quiet, but funny. Like a much taller, slimmer Brett. They apparently run a haunted house thing in Pawtucket every year. I've vollunteered, because it sounds like a fun time. Not to mention: I'm going to be a person who's basically been mummified with Barbed wire, and get to chase people around while screaming in "pain". That's going to be a FUN time. (They're still looking for vollunteers, but they really need people they can count on, so, only if you think you can commit to most of the dates... which are fridays and saturdays in october, and 1/2 sundays.) Marvel planning is going... ok. Need to come up with something simple/ easy for my newbs that isn't too cliche. I mean... a bank robbery was cliche enough. But it spawned something fun. No lie... I made 90% of it up on the spot. But it's given me a lot to go on. I now have an idea for like... a crisis. ^_^ But the idea for the new players doesn't even have to be in Patriot City, it can be anywhere, since it isn't cannon to the series. Maybe it'll just be a PVP fight. I dunno... don't really want to do that unless I have to though. I'd like to keep it as close to a real session as possible. And I'm a wicked nerd. I got some posterboard, drew 1" grid on it, and got the whole thing laminated. It's now a large rollable, dry-erase map! Pretty spiffy, and fairly cheap. 2 sided. infinitely customizable, and I think it'll work really well for marvel. Though I'm actually thinking I should have done one side just blank, so that I can free-draw a large map. but oh well! I still have a left-over piece of posterboard, so I can do that later. For now, this works.  angst: I don't like being single. /angst /post. (1 Comment |Comment on this)

10:37 pm	This is weird  Usually, when I'm single, I like being single. I enjoy my singularity (XD). I like not being obligated to call people, see people, be certain places at certain times. But not so this time. I'm lonely. I miss talking to someone constantly. I miss seeing a new text on my phone whenever I looked down. I miss having someone to vent everything to. I miss feeling wanted. I still want to be single for a while. I think I need to get back to normal. I don't like the moping I've been doing lately. I've been a bit of a hermit. I don't really go out now, mostly because of Wal-Mart. But I remember last summer I saw people all the time. I don't know what's happened to me. I want ME back. I want to just be a goof. To not care. To not see all my friends pairing off and being happy and wonder if I'll ever have that. But I know that most of the issues I've had in the past are my own fault. I kinda sabotage myself when I'm happy about something. It's the strangest thing. (1 Comment |Comment on this)

10:21 pm	Epic Magic Report 9, and that was unexpected  Not much to report really. Got in some good games with Kate and Erica, also Brett. Kate: U control/ Ninjas! Erica: UG old precon, UW old precon (fucking invulnerability...), other Brett: WUBRG big cretures (WOOT!), R Goblins Me: WUBRG scarecrows, WRG Naya, WUG Bant. Liz C: Observing Bettina: Observing Steve: RB Demons, BG Golgari reanimation So, and if you've followed these reports at all it may come as a shock: THE SCARECROW DECK WON A GAME! Holy shit! XD it was a pretty solid win too. Reaper King hit the field on turn 5, right on schedule. And then just RAPED. XD Deck still needs work. I'm considering just making it a Prismatic Omen/ Last Stand deck. Since that card is just like... wow... With some other WUBRG goodness thrown in. Need some of the better 5c cards though, and the scarecrows are actually pretty solid with things of color on the field. But enough of that. Down to business: Kate and Erica brought possibly the most delicious pizza I've ever had the honor of eating. It was made of win. And of love, clearly. It was homemade. And was VERY filling. *totally gonna try to snag that particular recipe at some point* Maybe we should have a Pot-luck magic night? people bring in cards they don't want (like what they have a TON of copies of) as well as some food, we make decks of what's brought, and eat some home cookin'! *likes this plan* Brett came over, and came bearing his iPhone. Which I may or may not have "borrowed" to keep myself occupied. (I was losing that game HORRIBLY) Kinda felt bad for Kate... don't think she won a game all night... Don't think Steve did either. I know Erica won a game... And I KNOW Brett Wrecked like two games in a row. But still, I had fun. Hope they did too. Looking to put together a Marvel Night for either THIS coming sunday, or the one after that. (If we're not playing Marvel this coming sunday, I want to play more Magic, lemme know if this works for you!) (3 Comments |Comment on this)

9:58 pm	What a fucking weird day...  So yes. Today was odd. Started off by me having a VERY sore back from going to Guard Up last night. I'm WAY out of shape. But it was fun. Anyway, at work, started off with people being on the verge of ripping each others throats out. No one knows what the fuck is going on because of this remodel. It's rediculous. I ended up pulling freight out of the cosmetics bins all day. Around lunch time (just after we got back actually) we had a Code Adam. Three year old girl was missing. Found almost immediately. Then there was an evacuation. In the rain. THAT was fun. Seems like someone bumped into the fire alarm and set it off... *grumbles* And my back is still sore. Still, it was all so freaking dumb and weird. (Comment on this)

9:22 pm	I'm at it again. I'm in a funk. Like the kind where I'm never really happy, and I don't know why. Urgh. I hate when I get like this. I must be horrendously annoying. But I feel antsy, irritated, depressed, all those other little emotions that just make you... blah. I keep flipping back and forth between so bored I want to tear my own hair out and so freaking depressed I want to cry. But I don't really have anything to be depressed ABOUT. *bashes head against wall* Why is it that I can tell people all kinds of useless facts about stupid shit, and all kinds of usefull things for school, but I can't for the life of me figure out what the hell is wrong with me? urgh. Rant over I guess. And I can still use that hug or something. Actually, it's worse now. Stupid wedding. It was so perfect. Seriously, weather, events, people. It was all just... perfect. And they love each other so much... *sigh* I think part of this funk is because I'm afraid I'll never really get that. That I'm just too... selfish I guess, to ever really hold down a relationship. That I'm still out on the perifery of all my peer groups... like I don't really belong anywhere. Well that was sufficiently emo... and with that, I'mma end this before I break out the (metaphorical) razor blades.  (2 Comments |Comment on this)
12:30 am	Probably just because of the wedding later, but I really want a cuddle. A hug. Something physical, it's the one part of being single I really don't like: not having someone to just snuggle up to. Also: Star Trek is an AWESOME movie. I can't believe they managed to get ALL of the classic lines in without it being hokey. The writer on this was a GENIUS. I swear. Holy shit-balls but it was AWESOME. And I got to see Bobby after. Which was cool. ^_^ Except for the Angry Vagina Monster on Delta Vega... I cringe at the thought.  (Comment on this)

8:30 pm	Cons, Trains, and other things of a nefarious nature.  So yesh. Anime Boston. HOLY FUCKING SHIT-BALLS THAT WAS A FUN TIME! That about sums it up. It was wonderful. I enjoyed it. I think I'm starting to really like Anime a lot more, between school and the jokes I don't get, I really need to start watching it. *needs Full Metal Alchemist* But by far, my favorite panel thingy that I went to was the Stage Combat one. I LOVE stage combat. If I were to get into shape, I'd like to start doing it more professionally. You know, like maybe BE a stunt person for community theaters (on top of just being in theater). It's just... FUN. I like acting, I like fighting, this is acting during a fight, so it's RIGHT up my ally. And the guy teaching us, on top of being awesomesauce, is the brother of the guy who played Goku on DBZ. Also, the AMV contest was fun, even if we DID get there late. You should all watch the AMV that won best in show: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fd6izyWr9dA And I has cool arts. Utena and LOTS of Toph. I also bought a yaoi that has a dissapointing lack of porn in it. It was shrink-wrapped and everything. *sigh* better luck next year. Um... Masquerade was wicked fun. Erica and Sam's skit made me giggle. Um... what else... Erica and Kate both got wicked cool commissions done by artsists in the Artist Alley. And Kate should be getting an... um... VERY naughty picture of her Marvel Universe character soon. It's gonna be sent to my house to forstall awkward questions from her family. MM... and then there was the train ride. Oh yes. Now THERE'S an adventure. For starters, Carty had a HORRIBLE day. Stepped in feces in the elevator (gross). Missed his train, so he had to argue with his parents about getting home. Which sucks. Kate, Erica, and I all made our train fine. Getting off though... that was different. We were having issues grabbing our bags, and by the time we made it to the door, the train was starting to move. Kate was already on the ground with most of our bags. But Erica and I actually jumped with the last of them. I jumped out of a MOVING TRAIN. It was quite the rush. then we took a taxi to Erica's house, and Kate drove me home, and ended up staying the night. It was fun. ^_^ Who else can say they leapt from a train on the day they turned 21? (1 Comment |Comment on this)

11:19 am	This is what happens when I get bored. D&D first person Journal!  Journal entry 42309 It's an interesting thing, fighting someone you thought you knew. The thrice-damned vagrant attacked us again, and when struck down exploded into a red and blue creature such as I have never seen before, 5 tentacles, two heads. And to complicate matters, the barkeep from Hodunk, I believe his name was Billy, was going on a rampage through town in the name of Bane. By Kord's fist, such an affront to the innocent people of that town could not stand. Had I use of both of my hands I would strangle the both of them. As it stood, I next to the door that Revan and Fiona (what manner of Dragonborn name is that?) were trying to break down to rescue those trapped inside. And as much as I felt I was better suited to trying to bring down that traitorous, slimy undead thing that was Lahzar, I never-the-less kicked the door to the building down and helped usher out those inside while the corpse lay prone on the ground. It was then that the new archer, a full elf by the look of him, shot over all of our heads and struck Billy twice, no, three times with his arrows, which seemed to draw his attention from the pile of innocent bodies he was standing on top of (an entirely barbarous position, and one I was going to be all too happy to knock him down from) and start towards us. And so, as Revan and I exited the building, we were faced by a large tentacle monster as the body of Lahzar broke down, as well as Billy, a man I had thought to be good company and possibly a kindred spirit. He had the swaggar of a warrior about him, but when that warrior is following Bane and causing such wanton... devasation, I must act. And so I acted, with urgency. When Azura balked unexpectantly, Billy savagely punched her in the gut, and then smashed his elbow into her face. I could no longer contain myself. With the monster dispatched, I put both hands on her shoulders and had her get out from in front of him so that I could take him on myself. Though I was wary of the glowing runes on his armor, I never-the-less struck him down with the battle-axe in my left hand. He fell shortly after that. And though he feinted death once, we continued to hammer the body until we were sure. And after a very brief respite, I took stock of the surroundings. All the people of the town had been rescued, except for those who had been dead when we got there. And Tom was there, glowing and angelic, and told us that indeed, the gods are at war. But it seemed he could not give us much more information than that. Except to say that our world was an expendable prize in that battle. The platemail that Billy was wearing contains such power that I have reclaimed it in the name of Kord, and my patron deity has shown his favor, my hand is nearly complete, the magical appaendage taking on a plated appearance. I look forward into planting it square in Lahzar's face, for I am sure that we shall see him again. The armor itself fits perfectly, despite my vastly different dimensions from Billy. And I happen to think it looks much better on me. If only my brother could see me now. Jarrak would be green with jealosy.  (2 Comments |Comment on this)

4:38 pm	I never knew FPSs could make you feel like shit. I suck at halo. Royally. To the point where it's entirely turned me off to the game altogether. Some friends of mine got together today to play, and set me up with a controller and quick tutorial. well... so much for that. I don't DO First person shooters for a reason: I can't see anything. Can never remember where I am, etc. And for that matter, if I can't button mash and do well, I suck. I simply am NOT good at these kinds of games. I've played some before, but it always ends the same way: with me frustrated to the point of tears and not enjoying the game at all. *sigh* I wish I were good at video games. But I'm just... not. For that matter: this is also why I'm aweful at turn-based RPGs. I can't just hit buttons. I have to actually plan out my actions. *sigh* it's just not fun for me when in a whole... 12 games, I get 1 kill.  (5 Comments |Comment on this)

8:28 am	God is Dead.  That's about all that's been running through my head for the past half hour. Liz called me at 8 AM sobbing and told me that Sean is dead. And mom told me that it was a drunk driving accident. He was in the car with Markham and Erik (both of whom are alright) And according the video on Fox, they hit a tree on High Street. It doesn't even look like a car any more. How fast were they going?! Sean's side, front passanger, was absolutely crushed. And the video description says they had to use the jaws of life to get him out.  But all that I can think about is that I was just talking to him yesterday, he was telling me about the new comic books he was reading... And now he's gone. I'll never hear that booming laugh again. Or play against his retardedly whacked out magic decks.  He never even had a girlfriend. God damn it... I'm so sorry Sean. I'm so sorry we never hung out more, I'm sorry I never told you how much you meant to me. That I couldn't be unhappy when I was around you, because you absolutely lit up a room when you entered. That I loved you as family. And now you're gone, I can't help but feel a huge whole in my soul where your presence used to be. I'm so sorry it had to be this way. I never even got to take you for your driving test like we planned. (10 Comments |Comment on this)

11:23 am	She's HETERO?! My girlfriend dumped me... Apparently she's straight. She'd told me about this kid who walks her to her car on occasion. Apparently it was more than that too. God damnit... I hate relationships... how'd I get myself into this? (4 Comments |Comment on this)

12:48 am	So tonight was... interesting. D&D shouldn't have this much drama. ( Drama Within ) So yes. That's THAT. And then Carty pulled a double cross, so all of our characters are in rough shape at the moment. We're lucky we didn't drown in a submerged river actually. Also: my character has a USELESS god. The one time I ask for help, I'm told that "You must pay in sacrifice." So basically I'm going to have to cut off my hand, or maim myself before I can get some evil brandings off of me. Well that sucks. I feel SO bad for Rizzar (my character) so many bad things happen to him in game, lol. (Comment on this)

4:59 pm	Heh heh... Too bad Phelps, better luck next time!  Fred Phelps and his daughter have been banned from entering the UK. For the full story: http://www.365gay.com/news/phelps-barred-from-uk/ And if you don't know about the Phelps': http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred_Phelps  http://www.baptistwatch.org/fredphelps.html Or their church: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Westboro_Baptist_Church I'm going to say this now however: do NOT go to their websites. They get funding for every hit they receive on them, and they simply do not need any more incentive. MMK? K. Thanks.  (2 Comments |Comment on this)

1:31 am	Well... That sucked...  Sometimes I'm a real idiot. An idiot who really needs to prioritize better. For those unaware: I got in a HUGE fight with Bre the other day. It was totally my fault. I was being a bad girlfriend, terrible is a better word. Horrendous, etc. Just can't seem to pull myself away from all the nerdy things that I do. It got to the point that we almost broke up... we were less than a hair's breadth away from it I think. At least I was. But we're better now I think. I hope anyway. I really don't like when I make her cry. I've done it more often than I should (which is ever). But I definitely had the worst Valentine's day EVER because of it. Even worse than elementary school... urgh. I HATE Valentine's Day. More than any other holiday. I'm a total Val-Day Scrooge. But still not as bad as 9/11. (Thanks Emily for the C+H pic) (Comment on this)

10:54 pm	I don't know why it upsets me so much...  ...but I have an audition tomorrow, and I'm already dreading the performance. Not because it's going to be a hard one. I almost know the play by heart already. It's the Complete Works of William Shakespeare abridged. This is one of the very few plays I've wanted to be in since I first started acting. And yet I'm dreading the performance. Because before the show will come my trying to gather up people from home to come see me. And then will come the inevitable let down from my friends, who will tell me half-hearted excuses in an attempt to, I don't know, make themselves feel less guilty from the way their voices sound over the phone. It's enfuriating, and humiliating. I've begged, pleaded, cajoled, bribed, argued, fumed, and in general done everything I could think of to get people to come. And then it STILL doesn't work. And I'm not really sure they know just how much that killed me inside. I'm still debating on whether or not I should even bother going to this audition in the first place. So I'm not even going to try, I think, to tell people. Information'll be on Facebook if you're interested. Because no one will come anyway. I may as well not even bother, save myself the effort.

9:50 pm	If you're going to San Francisco...  good song. Regardless, went to San Fran yesterday with a couple of Bre's friends. Chris and Natalie. We went to Alcatraz and just sort of hung out on Fisherman's Wharf. But it was a really nice day. Alcatraz was really cool. It's really run down and creepy now. Hard to believe that there were actually people there. The whole place was just... sorta like it was stuck in time. Like the Twilight Zone. I really enjoyed it. We didn't do any of the guided tours or anything, just sort of explored on our own, but it was totally worth the 26 dollar ferry fee. If you're ever there, you should definitely go. We had wanted to go to the Castro (gay area) of San Fran, but in the end it was getting dark and there was no big gay-related events going on, so there was little point. We went to dinner on the wharf, it was mediocre at best really. Oh well. Then we wandered for a while. i got fudge. it was delicious. ^_^. Once the dark hit we started wandering back towards the car, passed a couple guys doing spraypaint art of the city. It was REALLY cool, so Chris got one, it was only 10 dollars. I'm so impressed at how these guys just bang out those paintings using just spray cans. I'd love to have that much talent. During this we had to get some monies so Chris could get the painting, so we went into a 7/11, and then this drunk guy starts to talk to Bre and I, he thought we were hilarious apparently, made NO sense. He thought we were nuts to go home that night though, that we should just camp under the pier, like him. Uh huh... suuuuure. But yeah, we got in the car and had a very long ride home through rush hour traffic. Natalie was driving, so Bre and I snuggled in the back seat. It was really nice. And then we went to bed, wicked tired. Today, we didn't do all that much. Just sort of cuddled, since today was our last day together. My flight's at 7 PST, so we need to be up really early. Not looking forward to that. Not looking forward to leaving at all. *sigh* I don't want to go. I don't care about school, or anything really. I just want to snuggle with her at night.

9:58 pm	Day 6 Disneyland!  So, Hollywood was fun, got some cool pictures from the walk of fame and from the chinese theater place with all the cement hand prints. The Tar Pit were on some of the most gorgeous grounds, but the parking was retardely expensive: 2.25 for every 15 minutes! wtf?! So that pissed me off and I was therefore less than enthused with the idea. We didn't go into the museum that was there because of my pissiness. Oh well, hopefully there'll be a next time.  Today we decided to go to Disneyland. Whilst on the road, we were cut off by this shit-brown van with a douchebag that looked like some kind of hippy/rocker/stoner dude driving. We lost him, and the rest of the drive was uneventful. We made it there JUST after it opened.  But today was amazing. Bre and I spent the WHOLE day in Disney. From the time it opened at 10, until the time it closed until 8. We went on Star Tours, Honey I Shrunk the Audiencem, and then Space Mountain. While waiting in line for SM, there were these rather annoying teens behind us. After reading a sign that said that expectant mothers shouldn't ride one was like: why? Will the baby fall out? we were just like... *Facepalm* But the ride was awesome *duh*. After Space mountain, we left Disneyland and headed over to the California Adventure theme park across the way with our hopper passes. We went immediately to Tower of Terror. Thought I was going to die. But it was KINDA fun. Alright, a lot of fun. ^_^ I almost chickened out. And apparently, Bre says I was laughing and screaming at the same time. Aprez ToT, we went to Soarin' over California. Nice break, very relaxing and cool.  Then we went to California Screamin' you know, the one with the loop in front of the Mickey Mouse. that was a really fun coaster. I liked it. Not too scary, just a lot of fun. After California Screamin' we went to see the A Bug's Life show in order to take a sitting rest again (My stomach can only take one intense ride at a time).  Then we hopped back over to Disneyland proper and went on Indiana Jones. That ride was SO much fun. Just... cool. I love Indiana Jones, and this ride was a fangirl's dream. There was interactive things to play with along the way, a drum thing, a rope that you're "not supposed to pull" and a vine that you "shouldn't play with". It was a really fast ride, over a rickety bridge, with a boulder, idols shooting poison darts, etc. Everything cool about Indy. Even snakes, lol. Then as a "for the lulz" ride, we went on the Jungle Cruise. Not nearly as cool, and with TERRIBLE jokes, but Bre apparently sees me as if anything, MCing that ride. Thanks Bre. XD Then we went on the Pirates of the Caribean ride, with Jack Sparrow, etc. I kind of like the old version better to be honest. Tried to get to go into Haunted Mansion to see the Nightmare Before Christmas stuff in there, but it was closed, presumably to take down all the NBC stuff now that the holidays are over. Then back to Indiana Jones. Met some people from Australia going on it for the first time. We were in a different car than they were, so didn't get to see if they liked it. I hope they did. THunder Mountain! always loved that ride. Not nearly as good as I remember, but still fun. Then we went to this Innoventions building, and got to see the ASIMO show, the Honda robot that can do all the walking and running and stuff, designed to help people, it's the most sophisiticated humanoid robot out there. That was a really cute show. A bit camp, but Asimo is really awesome. Also while in this center thingy, we played with a touchscreen computer and got to zoom in on my house. the computer HATED Mass. I think it's just normally for looking at Cali. But I got it there, showed Bre where I live.  After that we bought a pair of earings for Bre's Dad's Girlfriend's daughter who just got her ears pierced yesterday. We wanted to get her something nice. They're Mickey ears in a nice emerald color, since she likes green.  And then we watched Fantasmic, the same light show that we all saw in MGM for our senior trip. Still awesome. We sat next to this rather abrasive, but really funny woman, and it helped pass the time. Show was over at closing, so we left and on the way home we got Jack in the Box, which was yummy as hell. I highly recomend it to all. And now I sit and write an LJ entry. Today was perfect. I couldn't help but grin the whole day. So much fun. I can't wait for more perfect days. Best Date EVER. Videos to come. (3 Comments |Comment on this)
