Avatar Arena Entry
Yep, I thought what the heck enter the arena. And I have... but unfortunately the description is limited to 500 characters... and i had to cut mine back but for those interested it something like this...

Quote:
Slowly, she appeared from the darkness, her lithe form melted into the shadows and reappeared at intervals. She was closing in upon her prey. See could see him clearly in the moonlight, beating a young girl into submission. Closer and closer she crept, until she could see the streams of hot breath billowing out the frightened youngsters trembling form... Shirow could stand it no more and she felt seething rage build inside her. The man before her was raising his crenched fist high, in it a knife gleamed the light glancing on its edge. He began to bring it down on the broken girl before him when Shirow leapt...

Was the girl saved from her tormentor, could Shirow stop him? Only you can decide...



So, fingers crossed that I do well enough to win.

The job...
I've landed myself a job. the pay isn't bad, work environment isn't bad either.

The downside to having a job is the lack of free time for me. But this is being an adult i guess. Working at grind stone making a buck so that you can enjoy it later on.

Like many before me have said it's better to put the hard work in now. As it'll pay off later on.I keep that in mind but it doesn't stop the boredom creep in. I miss the lack nature of being a student.

I guess that's why i'm counting down the days until my holiday. Hmmm... holiday... i'm gonna enjoy it.... uh huh... Having money come in a regular basis is the main plus of having a job and 9 to 5 life style. Everyone looks forward to pay day, i like one of them wait for the pay check to come through.

Also recently my interest in anime has started to fade. I wonder if i'm growing out of it? i doubt it somehow. There's always a place in my life for great entertainment.

Ghost in the shell: solid stat society is due out in July and i can't wait. I'm also looking for a new source of anime related news. As animerica closed it's doors so to speak, i've hardly heard anything about new stuff. It could explain my lack of aniime related collecting stuff.

i could prattle on about nothing for pages and pages, but i'll stop here.

Out hunting....
Yep, finally finished my learning... well, sortof... i've finished my last qualification...
i'm just waiting on the results now... so scared for them.... but anyhow back to the subject at hand....

job hunting... yeap... i'm looking for a job and everyone is giving my advice... but the best one is "you should treat looking for a job like a job." ... yeah, sure.... like a job that don't pay bugger all and mess nothing to any potential employer.... er... i thought i would have more to say on thi subject but it seems i've naturally ran into somewhat of a ranting hole....

so, i stopping now.... and possibly be updating later... that assuming anyone actually reads my journal entries... lol...

Bad to Worse
Stress levels are at all time high, but i can just about manage them. Stress effects my focus. My mind wonders... and i do stuff like write journal entries instead of doing work.

With stress levels at near breaking point, i fear i not sure i'll be able to complete my masters degree. I feel if i don't get my masters i feel bad, i don't think i could look my family and loves ones in the face knowing that i could have and should have passed and gotten my masters.

This triggers depression, which i've suffered over about the last 10 years. it comes and goes but i can usually keep it under control. but last night i had the worse bout of depression in a really long time. i'm tempted to see a counsellor just it case i have another one that's worse.

Gaia Online
I just have to rant for a bit. People on gaia are weird. Gaia's just had a layout change. It looks good. But people on gaia still complain about it. The minority of people here can't seem to adapt to any changes... and they are the ones who annoying "shout the loudest".....

It's stupid really. Think about it... gaia is
100% FREE... why do people demand so much and expect not to pay for it. If gaia was a pay site it would be so different. But it isn't, it's 100% FREE, because it's free there's gonna be bugs. Why simply the developers can't spend 100% of the time on it... because they need to do their regular jobs, earn money to buy food and stuff... remember they are people too, and have needs too.... The world doesn't revolve around a single FREE online account.

I personally am grateful for the generosity of the developers and mods. For spending so much of their free time, to make my time here on gaia so much more enjoyable. When they could be doing other more enjoyable stuff. One of the rule of gaia is to be respectful of others, but shouldn't we also be respectful to the mod/developers who gave us Gaia? I think they should be the most respect members of Gaia.

But that's my two cents.... don't b***h at me if you think "it was better before" back in the good old days... please get over ya self...

Don't be left behind, adapt to the changes and enjoy the what we have now... If you can't adapt i feel sorry for you... life is a lot harsher for those who can't....

Guilds of fun...
Well, this week is gonna be a buzy one for sure... i need to raise my game to stay onto of things... but to stay on top for things i'll be stressed.... i think i'll be pretty stressed until the end of the month really...

But i really wanted to be far more active in the guilds i belong to.... yep, i belong to four guilds.... ok one is the captain's guild and i don't need to be very active in that one.... i was hoping to get some time to write for my class in my first guild, Balamb Garden, but that looks like it'll be on the back burner. The other guilds are opposites. My second guild is pretty weird in the sense i seem to be the one who can vary the speed of the Kingdom of All. When i don't post the guild slows right down. Then there's my third guild, techincally it's my fourth and captain's guild is my fifth, Sacher's place. That place is jumping, super active for such few members... granted during the week there is only a few posts... but every weekend there's a massive surge of posts.....

guilds are alot of fun especially when they are active... you can earn buckets of gold just having fun in gaia... i know since i've joined sacher's place my gold account has increased steadily... ok won't break any record but... hopefully i'll have enough gold to expand my house.... that's 20k.... i'm no way near that total...

But people who read this DON'T bother donating to me... i don't need it and i don't want it.... i prefer to get thing under my own steam... and don't bother to ask for a donation... my funds are locked up saving for my house expansion....

Ok, this log entry had no real point but hey ho...

Living life...
What can i say.... Life's been good these few months.. i'm feeling fine.. but i know pressure and stress are waiting for me in the future... but in the mean time i'll enjoy the nice relaxness of it all.

but unfortunately, even thou i'm relaxed doesn't mean i have enough time to post as often as i'd like to in the guild/guilds... if i had the time i would build the guilds i belong to something great... if only i had the time...
