Such a great game. For the last day Blizzard attacked the major cities with the highest level bosses in the game all at once and it was utter Chaos. I took pictures but have to get them formatted to work. I will have to buy this game on release in 4 days. I got into most of the classes I want at college and declared an english major with an emphasis in literature. I wanted creative writing but it was full for now. I hope all is well with everyone. I'm writing a novel in a month and am posting it on ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) luinwell and everyone is welcome to check it out if they ask. I'm a bit behind right now, but without the distraction of WoW I'll get down to work. I am determined to put out the best I can. In other news the suite mates have Halo 2 and are watching 6 feet Under. That makes nights interesting when we're trying to sleep in my room. I can't wait to go home for Thanksgiving. It shall be good. I'm free every day but Thanksgiving and am coming home wednesday. Basically I'm free Friday and Saturday for anyone who's interested. The monday I get back to school I have a final project due and it's dead week (the week before finals). Good luck to all and luck for myself.
I thought it was pretty funny. And just because I can and haven't posted in a while...
ok, I'm done now. |

Well school has gotten off the ground without a hitch. My schedule is 10-11:20 mwf english 201, 2:30-3:50 mwf english 321, 8-9:50 t,th english 370. It's tough but with a bit of focus I can do it. On those lines I finally got into the World of Warcraft beta... good luck concentration. I already have a lvl 9 nightelf rogue. My 2nd day playing the new patch came out and it's almost done downloading. School bandwidth is soo bad when it comes to bittorrent. well that's where my time is and hanging out with kesu. It's good fun. Take care and I'll try to be in touch. |

Hey, I'm finally moved up to western with very slight internet logon issues but that has all been resolved now. I've successfully completed one day so far without classes and met all my room/suite mates. I think things will work out. I'm not spending too much time with them but that will come when we have a house meeting tonight. I have to walk up a hill to get to my room and it's on the second floor. No big deal. My view is of a tree. I'll keep in touch and so far so good. |

This morning I barely made it to work on my bike before the rain started coming down. The archives is the best place to listen to the rain. It echoes throughout the building and with a flat roof it makes a lot of noise. It stopped raining just before I left. It was lucky because I forgot my coat somehow. Soon the family will be over for dinner and we'll probably talk about my late grandmother. Her death was on bad terms with the hospital and we have to decide whether or not we will sue them. Definitely not a happy dinner. I'll probably spend time trying to avoid the occasion, but as a member of the family I'm required to be around. In other news my last guitar lesson for the year was yesterday. I'm happy with the progress I have made and hope I can motivate myself to keep working. I'm just glad it's the weekend now. |

Time really passes, doesn't it? My last full month in Seattle has begun until next summer if all goes as planned. I'll be up in Bellingham to get educated, or so they say. In the past weeks I've graduated from NSCC and got my AA degree. I have no clue what my major will be so please don't ask. Seriously...don't heh Uru has been a killer Myst game but evidently it doesn't count as Myst 4. Myst 4 will come someday. I've beatten then Soul Reaver series assuming they don't drag the poor thing along anymore. Diablo II has lost a lot of its appeal and Priston Tales was a flop when it decided to charge per month. World of Warcraft has potential but if I don't know many people on it it's not worth the payments, or so I think. I'm happy with my progress on the guitar. I can play a few things now and my last lesson is this week. It's been a hard year but plenty of good things have happened as well to make it all worth it. Right now my computer has a nasty virus/spyware problem so I plan on reformatting the hard drive as soon as my bro gets back from Mexico in a week. He was supposed to leave 15 gigs for me to back up stuff on the parents computer but it's easy to predict what actually happened. I had a whole 3Mb to work with and after I got rid of some things it went to 645Mb. All this is out of a 39 gig hard drive. Until it's taken care of I'll have to deal with the spyware downloading additional spyware and links/items on my desktop. I can't even check my yahoo email due to it. Oh well. One week until my wrath is released on this digital universe my computer calls home. Take care everyone and we'll see if I can't actually follow through with the updates. Good luck to me.

Ok. My little vacation should be over for a bit now as I take my finals and avoid studying once again. I've been studying since 2 and it's 9:30 now so I'm pretty burnt out. Japanese and Art history tests tomorrow morning. The Japanese is oral so as long as I don't blank I'll be fine. With art it's a bit harder and I have to do well. My grade depends on it. Once more quarter after this one finishes and I'm out of community college and off to most likely western. I pretty much ruled out UW and was forced to declare English as my major for now. I'll have to see what happens once I'm in and how long I stay in. I've been waiting for the expansion for Uru to come out for a while. Since they abandoned the idea of online playing they're releasing all that would be in the online version onto a downloadable expansion. I've been looking forward to it, but they delay it. It's worth waiting for. I think that's all for now in my little world. Things should pick up again soon with spring break. It will be good. I'll see you all later and I'll try to post a bit more often. |

Ok. I've been rather lazy about posting, but that's ok. It had better be n.n I just spent a good weekend up at Western Washington University with my brother goku_saiyuki and kesu. It was quality fun hanging out and wandering the streets of Bellingham. I drove up myself which is quite a feat in itself *claps* I'm not really looking forward to school and after a bit of trouble at work I find myself unwilling to waste my time among the stacks of bloodthirsty shelves and angsty boxes full of paper. The person who we were staying with up in Bellingham had to leave before we got there so we stayed with his house partners. On a sadder note the reason our host left was because his grandmother was quite sick and died the night we got there. I'm glad he was able to go see her beforehand. His house partners don't really care how late my brother and I stay out. We've been known to wander in between 2 and 4 in the morning n.n Our mom made cookies for the house people sort of as payment for us staying there. They tell us that we welcome back anytime and to not consider ourselves strangers. Thanks for the wonderful time Kesu and I hope we see you soon. Take care everyone and I wish you all happiness |

mood: good music: SNOW!!!

Today school has been cancelled and I wait to see if my work is cancelled due to SNOW!!! It's coming down really hard and we have quite a bit. I'll have to do snowy things soon just to enjoy it. I have no idea how I'll get to work if we have it, but I refuse to walk. I hope it is snowing for everyone who reads this. Too bad if it isn't. I like snow. Especially when things I don't like doing are cancelled heh. I have another story idea so I'll take some time today to begin. I'm going to steal parts from past ones that some of you may recognize, but it is mine so I can cannibalize it if I want. We'll see how the new project goes. My classes on school aren't bad. I may enjoy the Japanese class the most and my writing class with a focus in Cisco Networking the least. I still have to buy the books for that last one, but he hasn't decided which he wants us to buy. My Art History and History of Jazz may be pretty cool too. The Jazz one is interesting so far in picking apart the roots and getting a sense of the actual style. I hope it will broaden my musical abilities. What else... The pets are going nuts because of the snow! Did I menion it was snowing? Hard? The animals don't know what is happening. It snows so rarely. Anyways I woke up at the usual 5 am time and it wasn't really doing anything so I assumed we had school. I was briefed last night that I may not have work or school because it was supposed to be really bad at 7 in the morning. I hope I get to stay home all day and mess around. Good luck to everyone in school and I hope you all enjoy it. And SNOW! |

My poor computer is having some issues and has somehow forgotten the important step of turning on. It randomly works so I'm bringing it into a shop soon. I've been doing a lot of gaming with whatever lies around the house and the holidays went of fairly well. Hot chocolate has been a good friend keeping me warm. When I get out of the house I have been hanging out with kesu. She will be heading off to Western soon and then I'll be going in my normal routine of school, work, then home. I'm not really looking forward to school, but what's unusual about that? I'll get it over with and hopefully make money doing something I like. No worries everyone and do well in your schools |

I should be writing my paper due tomorrow, but I need a little break from my day before I play guitar then get back to work. I found a style for my hair that I can live with. I can't show what it looks like, but it's nothing special. It'll get rid of all the long hair-ness and maybe I won't be the victim of bad hair jokes anymore. I wouldn't count on it, but it's a thought. I'm pretty tired from all that has been whirling around me lately. I'm not very used to it I suppose. My procrastination is about to doom me and I say let it try.
The book project I was working on didn't hit the deadline, but I think if it is worth writing it should be done at my pace. I intend to continue and what has been writtin shall be redone until I am pleased. I've gotten back into the game Chrono Cross. Excellence is found here. Most of my nights are with that game until late at night when I'm completely incoherant or I'm huddled by the little space heater in the basement where I live. I'm hoping for something to come along to ease my boredom. I'm not very good about making things happen. They just seem to come all on their own. I'm getting better slowly. Physically I'm getting better again. I just need more than 4 hours of sleep a night >.< That's my usual amount. I hope everyone takes better care than me and is much happier. Someday I'll be right up with you guys, but baby steps, right? We'll start with the hair and maybe I'll have an image change, but I doubt it. Hang on for the ride and I'll be around if anyone needs me, as usual |

I took a really informative quiz-y thing made by my good friend kesu. It told me stuff I never knew n.n
You Are Blackheart Sahva. Keeper of the Cardinal
Medallion Aei, or Up. A talented and mildly
dependant she-vampire, you are one of the
Tapestry's main characters. You want to follow
Lusever but you are also loyal to Anniel. You
get action of multiple kinds and you would
probably be arrogant because of it if you
didn't have your head in the clouds all the
time.

Today was a regular old Sunday which consisted of me writing in my story but not very successfully. I'm starting to get sick with a feverish sort of thing, but it's still in the early stages and preventable. I took a nice warm shower and took it easy this afternoon. I think it has been my overall physical laziness the let my immune system get shut down. Oh well. It won't be enough to get between my writing and me. I'll probably scrap all I've done today and start over with it taking a more focused view. Soon, maybe even tomorrow, I will see what I can do to show my progress to those who are interested. Adjustments have been made since yesterday and overall I'm happier with the first part of the product than when I wrote it. That's called editing n.n Take care everyone and stay healthy |

The day is finally here when I may begin writing. There are several things competing with my attention, but I hope to make it through all that and be dedicated to the work I am about to begin. I'm sitting surrounded by some of my favorite books, prying from them any helpful knowledge as to how to begin. My story will hopefully have the flavor of the LOTR novels. In fact I have "The Fellowship of the Ring" lying open in front of me and it will probably lead the way into this adventure I am about to create. No doubt this will give me more of an excuse to be my hermit-y self, but it will also give me something to do that I enjoy. I don't do much of that so we'll see how I like it n.n To those I'm doing this with I wish the best of luck and support. We can get through this together. Inspirational, huh? Well let's just do our best and enjoy it. This may be the start of a new world for me and I am looking forward to it. I should get another necklace like I usually did when my world shifted. I have none at the moment, but I hope it won't last too much longer. Until next time |

When I came out of my internet coma yesterday I was swept into an online writing thingy...thing that starts Nov. 1 and ends at the end of the month. Its name? Nanowrimo. So yes, all day I have been brainstorming ideas for a new short novel to begin work on. Maybe this will be enough to spark my motivation to actually put a plot to my stories? Who knows, but I've been trying to remember all the good writing skills that have been imparted to me by the many writers that surround me every day. Maybe I will be able to remaster my skill of writing 6 pages a day obsessively, losing myself to a world in my imagination...or maybe not. It should be good fun, though. So far I have only come up with four characters I need in the opening chapterand many random townsfolk. Gotta have them. At the end of the month the work will be unveiled and given to the masses. Never before has my writing gone public so this is a marker for me. I'll keep posting some ideas as I come up with them and feel free to comment and give suggestions. Please be patient with me and the obsessiveness which I cannot control when I am absorbed into my work. Take care everyone and good luck to me. Writing begins two days from now so I have a couple more days of freedom. Thanks to kesu and her friend for bringing me into this. It should relieve a bit of the boredom in my life. I do have the time to spare. |

Yes, once again I peak from the little hole I live in to say "I'm still breathing"! My internet died for about a week so the only real contact I've had was when there were people at my house. I spent my days perfecting FFX. FFXI is now out and right now I refuse to pay any of their server costs...so I guess my life doesn't get eaten away by that device until I cave in. What else... I saw an old friend aetigae on the bus yesterday and he looks just like he did two years ago. I haven't seen him since my birthday and he says he's been out of it because his computer blew up. Don't ask, I don't know. I guess it's refreshing to be back and now I can get my walkthoughs for FFX n.n More perfecting time. Take care everyone and maybe I'll write again later? |

There weren't many good things happening today. I guess it's another one of those times I look at my own mortality and shrug. It's good to see a good group of friends supporting each other in times of need. It probably plays in the back of my mind that there are people looking out for me too and I don't recognize them enough. To the two who have lost loved ones this week I say stay strong, but remember to let your emotions out. To zwingll have faith in friends and I'm around to talk if you need me. To Rob, who I don't think will read this, remember fond times with your father and take care of yourself. Take time to heal and remember that you have friends all over for you. Stay well. This may sound depressing, but I am staying strong for many others including myself. Take care everyone and I will do the same |
