Lykus approves of the indirect fix to the cigarette brought about by these new changes.
Lykus fully intends on acquiring as many tattoos as possible. You can't have mind-altering substance use without tattoos.

I've fallen in love with an outdoor activity at last. River tubing. Jump in at a spot far from home. Float 'till your back where you wanna be. It's just so...I dunno, peaceful? Well, it would have been if my flaoty doo-dad didn't turn out to have a hole in it... but yeah, good stuff.
I need some way outta this valley, and perhaps some way out of family vacation. Seriously, I don't know what's wrong with me this year, but I just don't want to go. We're supposed to go house baoting...and normally I'd be all for it, but I dunno. My mother and I don't see eye-to-eye right now, and I think a week trapped in a small flaoting vessel will lead to homicidal urges. Come to think of it I'm having those now, but here I can always just leave. This would be hard to do on a boat...
In 'good' news, the graduation prgram is no longer making our grad portfolios mandatory. This WOULD have me jumping for joy had I not just wasted 2 damn years of my life making this POS! Sure, not much is handed in, but that doesn' tmean I haven't been working on this stuff or worrying about it! What's the point of spending hundreds of thousands of tax dolalrs to revamp a grad program if you're nmot gonna use the thrice-damned system!?
Back to my mother though, why is it that all things wrong with the world seem to be deligated to the eldest child living in the home? Anything wrong with anything ESPECIALLY the internet are my fault. I could have been out of the house all day and not have even SEEN the computer, let alone the server, and it's my fault if anything goes wrong. This scenario has happened more than once. Another one of my favorites is when I tell her I need to use her printer. She will tell me that as long as all her things stay up I can use her printer. This printer is attatched to her laptop, and doom is to fall upon any who move the vessel of the paper-markings, so attatching it to my PC would be a no-no. Here's the thing: she KNOWS I have to use the E-mail to print anything off now that my jump-drive is gone, and she KNOWS this will mean that I have to turn off her E-mail. Not only will she NOt give me the password so I can reset all her crap, but even after me TELLING her I have to turn the stuff off to get mine she later screams at me for turning off her crap. I'm not sure what magical solution she has in her head that will one PC to access 2 hotmail accounts at once, but if she has one, she doesn't want to share it with others.
It's getting to the point where I'm being yelled at for messes that she and my father make! If SHE stacks the dishes in *gasp* the wrong order then she goes through the roof. (this is of course a day or so later when she has forgotten that she was the one to put away the dishes) or she screams because the table is dirty and nobody cleans it up. but wait, get this kids, it's HER office work covering the damned table! If I leave a knife out she gets pissed because I didn't put it aweay, if I puit it away she gets pissed because I'm using too much cutlery! I'm not allowed to play ANY of my music, even if it's something as sublime and agreeable as the beatles and not Rob Zombie, but she's allowed to blast Enya or whatever whenever she wants to and NOBODY can say anything about it! I'm not sure when my mom became such a domineering b***h but it's driving me MAD! No wait, yeah I do know...ever since she got her new damn job she's been taking out all her bad days on us.
Honestly though, with her around this place feels even more like a prison. Before I was just bored. Now I'm bored and oppressed. I gotta get outta here before somebody gets hurt...
On a different note; anybody know when the Wii comes out? I'm lookin to get my hands on one.

Kozo wants to get his hands on a Wii, eh? That's cool. I was thinking about grabbin' a Wii myself, but I don't know when they come out.
I'm thinkin' that if I get a Wii, I'll stick it between my super-sized Xbox (due to the sound system and A/V switch I added onto it) and my ultra-thin PS2 (which is actually my sister's.)
That way it'll be kinda like steps.
I can't wait till I can have all my friends over to play with my Wii.

It was my mother who turned off AIM, most likely.
I outright refuse to call that console by its proper name. People make fun of me enough for being a Nintendo fangirl, the last thing I need is p***s innuendo.
I have a few thousand dollars just lying around (hey, I'm good with money and I've been working since I was like... fourteen). I'm going to reserve one, I think.

Holy freaking CRAP! It's Temra!! 0.o
*tackleglompsformerleaderandsmotherswithlove* wahmbulance
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How are ya? biggrin 4laugh
Kozo: Wait a sec.. we don't HAVE to do the portfolio's now? HALLEUIAH!!!!! *dances*
And Kozo? Just don't let it get to you. She needs someone/something to dump her crap on, and dosn't know how to do it in a healthy/not bitchy way. My Dad is EXACTLY the same way. If he's had a bad day, he won't bloody well tell you he has, he'll just spazz at the smallest and stupidest things. Just laugh at them or ignore them, find ways around their spazzings.. like headphones.. Or even pretend to symphathize with them xd I find that they stop ranting AT you and just start ranting about other things. And then appreciate it when you listen to them ranting by just nodding your head and agreeing with them every now and then.

I agree, the previous name for teh Wii (revolution) was better. But nevertheless I think the new innovative control style will be fun.
Ugh, Bonkers, normally I'd agree with you, but she just seems to get pissed off because more. Apparently "If I really understood what she was saying then the damn problem wouldn't be there in the first place." So apparently I have latent superpowers. The ability to read minds, and detect know what everybody is doing at anytime, and the power to have all problems pertaining to my mother magically be fixed. Wow, I should get myself a pair of tights! Watchout Abbotsford~! Mr.Fixitz on his way~! blaugh
Christ, I've got a year to make 35,000 dollars. I don't think I'm gonna make it though. If I already had my animation training and all that would be the entire year's wages if I didn't buy food or anything.... I am soooo fudged. Well, unless of course Captain scholarship swoops down and saves me. LOL On the bright side this looks like it has a good chance of happening. My parents will help me with the bill too as well as give me a place to stay. One more bonus, the college's facilities are open 24/7 to students. I could technically LIVE there if I wanted. Granted, the stay would be rather unhygenic. Even so I plan on spending many nights there. It's not like crashing on somebdoy else's couch will be a new experience or anything.
Now this is the hard part of the post... I need some ANTI-dating advice for some friends of mine. How do you stop people from getting back together nicely? These guys have broken up then gotten back together at LEAST 4 times. It always ends in heartbreak and anger for these guys and I want to spare them this. Plus, both sides b***h at me for advice and attention everytime and I want to dodge that too. Normally I'd just advize against getting back toegether, but in this case I they already are, that and I'm good friends with BOTH sides. I think I have to talk to them both at the same time, becasue they both get pretty petty... If I do it one at a time, both will think I've turned on them. They're odd like that... Any advice for this kind of thing? (Yes Bonkers, I know you're gonna say 'don't get involved', but I've been involved for about 3 or 4 years now so it's a bit late for me to pull out emotionally... lol)
^_^ Sorry if I seem really angry and Emo these days... It's because...well hell, it's 'cause I'm really angry and emo these days! You guys knwo my way of thinking. I'd just rather put it out here where you can scroll through my s**t if you don't wanna listen. I feel kinda crummy about complaining about people venting angrily at me and then doing the same to you guys, but I think this is just the best way to do it. You don't even really have to pay attention! Even if you never read any of these, thanks for being there. You guys keep me sane just be existing I guess...
But anyways! What do you guys think about the PS3 and all the other new systems? did you hear it's probably not going to have a rumble pack anymore? They were sued becasue the design for the PS2's pack was actually stolen...Or so I hear. Look at the way the next gen systems are stacked right now I think Nintendo will pull ahead. PS3's been delayed for FAR too long, and Xbox360 turned out not to be all that iumpressive. Nintendo on the other hand has a new look, a promises free online play, adn will provide a cheap way to get all the retro games (download packs will be supplied for about 10 bucks!)! Then there's this new-fangled control system they've got! Has anybody got to try it out yet? It looks crazy!
Side notes: 2 of my summer projects are well on their way to completion! I'm making cards for the testing face of a mecha CCG, and the scripting for my 5 min. Flash version of Macbeth is coming along nicely! YAY FREE TIME! mrgreen
edit: I have just seen the trailer for the movie 'World Trade Center' ....this upsets me....it upsets me very much. Already we have a movie about the largest sham in history. This is a fecking dissgrace. evil

LOL Well, thanks Jar Jar, but unfortunetly I need OTHER people to not date each other, not to not date me.
Well, I was supposed to be going to a full house thing at the college. Too bad my parents decided to take everything into their own hands. I NEVER got to see teh pamphelt with all the info on it. All I knew was that it was today and it was an RSVP kinda thing. Not really an open house but more of a lax invite thing... Either way I respond saying that I'm gonna be there, and then just trust in my parents who've been saying that they have it all figured out and they're gonna get all their business done at the same time they drop me off at this thing.... HA! YEAH FECKING RIGHT!
I clean out their cars, we do everything they needed to do and then pull up at Ai at 4:45 PM. Like I said, I didn't know what time this thing was becasue the pamphelt was secreted away, but guess what kids? We were 5 damn hours late! 5 FREAKING HOURS! Of course my Mom's all 'Too bad sweety, we tried', and my Dad's passing the excuse, "Gee, I've never heard of an open house that didn't run all day," but when you're late by 5 DAMN HOURS what do you expect is gonna happen? That's a pretty damn good stretch of time!
This just isn't right. They treat me like s**t all week, and they KNOW I'm trying to get to this open house thing, they KNOW it's important to me to be there, but all the time it's "Stop worrying," and "Trust us, we'll make it," but then they drag me around for 4 hours doing their s**t only to find out my thing has been over for 5? What the hell did they drag me around for if the thing was half over before we left the damn house!? It take 45 minutes to get there! By the time I arrived I'd only have 15 minutes! Why do they insist on doing this s**t to me!? Thsi isn't the first time they've done this either.... RRRGH!
Oh wait, it gets better. My parents disappeared for a few hours before we left the house. Know what they were doing? Horse back riding. I was supposed to be keeping up relations with the guy getting me into college and securing my shot at my dream job, and they went horse back riding. This is too much for words dammit.... -_-'
LOL I think I have a new favorite mother tirade. She just recently yelled at me becasue my dad sold our van for a price that she thought was too low. Apparently I had some play in this that I am not aware of.
This week sucks. I need tea. Lots of it...
On the bright side, I've come into possession of a bootleg of Clerks 2, so the weekend isn't a total loss. Pretty close though...
Edit: Key to happiness found: I'm watching Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust at 1:30 AM while eating strawberry yogurt with chopsticks. I swear this is one of those Zen 'one with everything' moments!

Regarding the name of the Wii, I like it.
Consider this: The playstation consoles are numbered with regard to where they fall in the series. Nintendo can't do this because they gave their second console a "new" name by attaching "super" to the end of it. They don't number their systems. Microsoft was marketing their second console, but they couldn't call it "Xbox 2" because the lower number than "PS3" would have made it seem inferior on at least an unconscious level to the consumer. They also couldn't just call it "Xbox 3" because that would have been a blatant ripoff to even the most oblivious consumer whore. Even Nintendo's new console, had a relatively "Xtreem" name, unusual considering that none of their consoles have "Xtreem" names and the Xbox has TWO Xs in it.
The solution here was clearly to ripoff PS3 by making it "Xbox3.." while also ripping off "revolution" with "Xbox 360" since there are 360 degrees in one full revolution. The resulting name not only has two Xs, but also has "360" in it, which should appeal to all those xtreem fanboy lovers out there who go to skateparks too much and think Dave Mirra is the second coming of Christ. Nintendo saw what Microsoft was doing and decided that it was dumb, so they changed their name to "Wii" which is not Xtreem in the least.
Wii is a fantastically awesome name for the new console, simply because the only people who will refuse to buy one for the name do not deserve the ability to play with more depth of control for less money, and instead are right in wasting more of their money on video games that are fundamentally identical to the previous generation, but more photorealistic and thusly even more lacking in style.

Another reason the Wii is the new Nintendo system's name and not the Revolution - Wii, when pronounced "we" is how the creators wanted to give a feeling of togetherness and community when playing their games, as a group, hence Wii.
I used to work in a video game store. That was their story. Our Nintendo rep was hot. A redheaded girl about a year or two older than me, but smaller. So cute.

Gaaaah...
My neck... and back and shoulders and... everything....
I slept two hours last night. I tried for about two hours to get to sleep, then gave up and played FFTA on my DS, then read through my younger step-brother's D&D books (okay, so I just looked at the monster pictures >.>), then wandered around the house looking at cookbooks until about 5 AM. Then I went to sleep and my alarm went off at seven.
Then I got up and gave a quick good morning to my stepsisters and neice, skipped breakfast, walked to work to check my schedule (someone stole my Sunday shift, which is when the new schedules come out), walked back, and now my room at my mom's is a disaster/storage area since we're remodelling the bathroom and living room. Also, my mother wants me to move dressers.
Yeah, right.
I am not in a good mood. crying
