Actually, my mind's been spinning around uni all the time lately. :/ So I don't really expect to talk to you anymore. There's just so much to do right now, I really feel like I'm not able to cope with all that... :/ That's why I've become so silent. Hope you're doing better & glad to have you back again!
Hi. Haven't heard from you in a while. You still alive? Sorry I missed you that one time...
So, I'm back again... This time, I haven't been away because I didn't have any time or motivation to post. It's just been that... ah, well, I don't really want to tell it in a VM, if you're really interested in every single sh*t situation that happened, let me know and I'll tell you. It's just all been so f-ing annoying and frustrating and sad - I just couldn't do anything at all. :/ It seems to have gotten better though. Wait for the next downfall in about one week, I suppose. *rolls eyes* I'm getting too cynical now. ^^" Alcohol's been a temporary cure for everything. That evening was pretty cool, actually! :> I enjoyed drinking my two (lol) cocktails with my friends, and I really told her everything and she reassured me that I wasn't wrong. One day later everything was sh*t again and I ended up asking her to drink with me again. It seems we'll be able to drink QUITE a lot at the end of October. We've decided to make it a girl's-only-evening. But I know I won't be drunk again. I just can't do that. I'd hate myself. ^^" Street Fighter every Friday night? Aaah, a dream of mine. <3 Having friends to play such games with every single week. Unfortunately, as I'm a girl, there aren't many people who like to play xBox/Wii/whatever with me ._. The only ones I could "force" to play games were boys. And we all know that almost every friendship between a girl and a guy ends up in a relationship. (Of course only as long as both of them aren't in a relationship already xP) Heh, as long as I'm not on FB, you'll be here. So why should I ever go to FB? xP Sounds ridiculous to me. And you'll still be here. (Oh and you're still a mod... have you done anything moddy in the past few weeks? ^^) Oh and of course I watched all episodes of MLP: FIM season 2 so far. Today I watched the third episode. Thought it was quite alright. Twilight going nuts was pretty funny. It seemed a bit too rushed, though. But that was okay with me. Still, I'd like to see a Pinkie Pie episode again soon. ^^ Oh and MLP's airing in Germany as well now... The voices suck and it seems they tried to make a girls' show out of it, but well... I'm still happy they bought it. So how's it going for you? Do you have a good job, by chance? And damn, since when do you have that cool picture of you in your profile?! You beard's soooo f-ing awesome! <3 *loves beards*
Haha. Well, don't get too carried away (I know you won't. You are the responsible young lady, after all.) Although maybe alcohol is the cure! I didn't participate this year because I was feeling lazy. And really, I have nothing against the obliterators this year. Simply the fact that they are not me, however, makes their obliterations less legitimate or awesome. I mean, come on. Actually, I'm not really sure what the deal is with that old lady, heh. I've never met her. She lives in Pittsburgh. I think the deal was that she never leaves either a room or the house. Only my brother has gotten to meet her. He is the lucky one. That makes me happy that you would laugh at ****, heh. You are awesome. I bet you'd get along with my friends, too. You would hardly have to put up with drinking, but you might have to put up with Street Fighter every Friday night. Haha, I remember you saying you didn't want a Facebook in the past, too. Pretty soon, Facebook is gonna be obsolete; I think the next big thing is some kinda Google thing. Or so my friends say. But you should totally get a FB! Then I wouldn't have to come here anymore, and you wouldn't have to throw rocks at me! Well then lady, I dunno what to say. Germany is probably a safer place, maybe. At least where you live. Nobody trying to buy weed off you because you are sitting outside on a couch, haha. Sounds like a nice place to live. Didn't Rikku kick Tidus in the balls for like no reason at the beginning of FFX? I thought she was alright, though. But anyway, sounds like we share a lot of opinion on FFXIII. Although I just think Snow was an idiot a lot of the time. Too brash and impulsive. Haha, yeah, Serah probably would break in half, and she's married to Snow. I wonder how that works for them. Also, I hear Snow is not going to be a playable character in FFXIII-2, so I kinda wonder why. Other than that, I probably won't play it unless I watch others playing it and decide it looks awesome. Speaking of video games, I bought Metroid: Other M tonight. It got bad reviews, but I wanted to play it when it came out last year. Also, it was cheap. My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic starts again today! Are you gonna watch? I will. Unless I sleep through it or something. It's rather late now... I is tired... Anyhoo... Wuv, Yer Mom
I'll probably be recovered today... or tomorrow. Depends on how much I'll drink today. XD Heh, I know what you mean... even as a girl, the seats of bicycles are very, very, VERY uncomfortable. <<" At least everything hurt when I cycled to my boyfriend. EVERYTHING! You were an obliterator once? Why didn't you participate this year? And don't you like the obliterations this year? Why? I want a clear statement, SIR! Woah, this old woman rather seems to be scary than anything else. o_o" She hasn't left that room even ONCE?! Lol ^^" I would've found it funny as well, I suppose. But after a few minutes I would've grown tired of hearing the word "****" all the time - it's not that special for me. ^^" But I can understand why you think it's funny. My boyfriend and his friends would've laughed their asses off as well... ^^" I'm not sure if the names of the cocktails are the same in the US, to be honest. ^^" If I ever find out what's mixed in those drinks, I'll tell you. Probably tomorrow, if I still remember that I wanted to look it up.. *coughs* (I'm going to meet my friend in about 12 hours, so I might forget it until then XD") ARGH not another one who wants me to make a Facebook account! >o< My friend (whom I'll meet today) also wants me to have a fb account, as well as my brother... -o- And I'm still resisting. I don't want anyone in the world to have information about me. IF I'll ever register, it'll probably be a fake name. ^^" I am indeed from a small town, at least I went to school in one. But many students came from other villages and small towns to that town - so they couldn't know each other. Plus, I went to school in a big town (250,000 inhabitants, if I remember correctly) as well AND there were no badges. Woah Oo" Sounds scary. So you're not cool because you don't sell weed? Shame on you, I always thought you were cool and sold weed, and all those other drugs which I don't know any names of! I didn't like the linearity either, but it was okay. It just shouldn't have ended up in a huge map at the end. After following small paths all the time that really was too much. I ended up forgetting about the story after being in Grand Pulse for about 20 hours... <<" I liked Sazh best as well, probably because he's a father and has a real reason to fight. I understood what he'd been thinking. And I found him funny. BUT I think he really was way too weak. At the beginning, I always had him in my party, but at the end he didn't have much strength nor was he useful at casting magic... so I ended up throwing him out of the party... and that really was sad - I needed to beat the big monsters (rank A) and couldn't even use my favorite character. T_T" I liked Vanille as well, she was always so positive - and reminded me of Rikku at some points. And I like Rikku as well, mostly because she's so positive and lively. ^^ Though sometimes, both of them were just annoying. ^^" I didn't like the whole drama surrounding Snow and Lightning. (And I certainly disliked Snows "I'm the hero!!!111oneoneeleven!!" -_- I already disliked Balthier for saying that all the time!) Lightning was okay. The thing I really disliked about FFXIII was that everything ended up REPEATING itself. At the end, they just talked about things they've discussed at the beginning. In most of the scenes at the end I really sat there thinking "Yeah, we know that already...." <_< But other than that, the game was good. The plot was nice, though everyone knew how it'd end right at the beginning. Oh and I really can't wait for XIII-2. It'll probably be as bad as X-2. Seriously, SERAH as a fighter?! This girl you have to be afraid to touch because she could break?! Naaaah... (I ranted so much about the game now, I really think I didn't like it as much as I thought XD)
Ugh, that sounds pretty terrible. Glad you're feeling better. Hope you make a complete recovery soon. I will probably try bicycling again at some point. The most uncomfortable part was the seat in my crotch. If I recall correctly, one of the first things that happened was that my friend asked me "How does it feel?" or something to that effect, and I simply answered "Crotch." No kill me! Who will do all the obliterating around here? (The real ones, not the ones performed by those phonies this year.) Oh, you're just kidding? Well then. Thank. Goodness. Old people are crazy sometimes. In fact, I think they are either nice, or senile and crazy. Except for Clint Eastwood. But yeah; my sister in law's grandma is apparently kinda scary crazy and really old. Like, she won't leave a certain room in the house or something. And she's been that way since my sister in law was little. One time, she threw a book, and it hit her grandma in the back of the head, and she accused her of trying to blind her. Haha, guys are awesome sometimes. "Let's see what'll happen when we do this!" We find amusement in the most ridiculous things. Like entering "Fuck" in a word to speech program countless times so we can hear the computer say it in a stream, and have the tone go up and down like a helicopter. (My friends did this. I was not there, but I would've found it amusing too, haha.) I must confess that I've never heard of a blue cocktail or a touchdown, so perhaps I shall have to ask about those next time I have a mixed drink somewhere. Sounds cool, lady. Glad that you have a cool art hobby. You know, people post pictures of their cosplays on deviant Art. You could totally create an account for that. Or... you could get a facebook account Maybe it's because you're from a small town, and everyone knows each other? (You are from a small town, right?) I'm from a relatively small town too, but the population is like 40,000 and growing. And there's lots of weirdos around too, I suppose. Lotsa meth heads in Albany, unfortunately. Also, there's been a string of unsolved arson crimes in the past year. Mostly abandoned houses, but I think at least one was a business. I love this town, but mostly because I grew up here, the area is generally pretty, and most my friends and some family are here still. Last night, though, after my friend and I had gotten done running, and we were sitting on his lawn couch (formerly a porch couch, soon to be a city dump couch) this guy walked up to us and asked us in this low, gravely if we were selling weed. We were like "...no..." He got slightly upset, and left. I was alarmed when one of the first words out of his mouth was the f-word. Also, he said he was buying it for his father, he "thought we were cool" (but we weren't because we weren't selling weed) and confessed that he'd been drinking. I did not like the linearity of FFXIII, and the lack of NPC's-they were almost in single digits, and none of them were particularly developed or even in it much. And yeah, I didn't like Lightning or Hope, was neutral about Fang, and I liked Vanille, Snow and Sazh alright. Sazh was probably the best character... but statistically, he was the weakest. And while there was nothing about his character I particularly disliked, he wouldn't be on my list of best Final Fantasy characters either (unless I needed a representative from every game.) Both Snow and Vanille had annoying traits that made me have somewhat mixed feelings about them (although Snow is a very close second to Sazh.) Barthandelus was probably the best thing to come out of that game, really. The story, battle system, character designs, were alright. Anyhoo... Wuv, Yer Mom
Also, mister, I'm sorry to you for not answering yesterday. I had a migraine attack on Wednesday, covering all symptoms you can think about. -_-" I didn't see properly anymore and I met my food twice. -_-" I didn't feel that well yesterday either, but it's gotten better now, although I'm not sure if I can eat normally now... *sighs* Heh, when I started cycling again after a few years I also felt like falling off the bike instantly - but it never happend. I was a bit unsure and never cycled that fast. ^^" After a while, though, it was as if I'd never stopped cycling at all. :> So you should definitely try again! Uuuh, you discovered my darkest secret! I'm afraid I have to kill you know, before you can spread the news of me being an alcoholic.... XD Just kidding. Besides, there are more people who think that I'm an alcoholic. XD My grandma (my mom's mom) claimed that I was one a few months ago. She really said that she'd already seen me "totally drunk" and "not able to control myself anymore". XD My boyfriend's face just screamed WTF at her, but she INSISTED that she's seen me being drunk! XD I've never been drunk. I threw up because of alcohol once (because my brothers and friends thought it was funny to mix everything they could fine as a drink for me x.x") and a few years ago I was feeling dizzy after drinking two cocktails. ^^" That's ALL. Still, my grandma insists... (We have given up on convincing her, though. XD) When we were out last month, I drank a swimming pool - a blue cocktails and I really don't know what it consists of. ^^" I normally never try anything new. I usually drink a touchdown. I've never tried long island ice teas yet, but I think I'll give it a try tomorrow evening. Heh, I hope I'll be able to complete the costume soon enough. :> And I really can't wait to start! *_* I've been sewing a small bag for my boyfriend's mobile phone during the last two days (finished it today! =D) and realized again that it's SO much fun. <3 Oh and I can't wait to sew this brown corsette-like thing. *_* I have sooo many ideas as to how to make it and in my phantasies it looks SO F-ING AWESOME!!! =D I'm gonna send you a pic as soon as I've finished the costume. Hm, I still don't really get why you had to wear a bagde. Must be because we don't have such things in our schools over here. ^^" There usually is one caretaker for one school (even if it's a big one... but sometimes there's even two) and everyone knows him. ^^" (Besides, I've never seen a female caretaker before Oo") Oh and we sometimes visit our old schools and we don't have to wear any badges... we just go inside and that's it. XD" But I think I look like a student - at least the kids in my practicum schools were always confused if I was a student or a teacher. XD What did you dislike about FFXIII? Characters? Story? I actually liked the story and the whole gameplay, though I was pretty stunned when I played for 30 hours and then suddenly there was a HUGE map to discover. x-x" Anyways, the story and characters reminded me of FFX a lot. And I liked FFX. :>
I didn't fall off, but I felt like I was going to most of the time. I was like "I'm gonna die!" and my friend was like "You're not gonna die!" Had to use my feet for breaks and to start myself going. (Like I said, maybe I never learned to ride properly.) On the plus side, the bike I was using had this awesome ladybug bell. "Ding ding!" So, the closet alcoholic reveals herself! I knew it all along! That's cool. What is your favorite drink? I know you said you like cocktails, but more specifically...? If I was getting a mixed drink, I like long island iced teas, or rum & cokes. If you ever go out with them again, you should just get a drink real fast while they're not looking and be like "Look! I can't drive! Up yours!" And enjoy that drink with your friend. I've never played Eternal Sonata, but I think I may have heard some good things about it. Dunno if any of my friends have played it either though. I looked up a pic of that character, though. Looks cute.Bet you could pull it off well Yeah, gotta wear a badge, so they know that you're supposed to be there. The school isn't really huge, but I think vandalism and other nasty things happen sometimes, and that's a precaution. Although I think the lady who stopped me was generally more paranoid than most people I've come across in the school district. I heard her stopping the son of the lady who worked there regularly,and I can only assume that he comes in there frequently to see his mom, given that he came in twice to visit with her that night and it didn't seem like a special occasion. Mass Effect is actually a 3rd person shooter, but even then, I could see why you might be hesitant about playing that. Although it was made with RPG fans in mind, so it's not a hardcore FPS. And yeah, I didn't really like FFXIII, so that's probably not the best indicator for me to make, eh? Heh. Anyhoo... Wuv, Yer Mom
Oh? oo When I started cycling again this year, I hadn't done it in a few years as well and it worked perfectly fine. So what happend? I hope you didn't fall off the bicycle. >.< That hurts quite a lot. :/ I'm not one to say "I NEVER EVER DRIIINK!" - that'd be a lie. I admit that sometimes (2-3 times a year) I enjoy drinking alcohol... one drink, mostly. XD" And I'm pretty picky, I don't just drink everything, I only drink stuff I really like. (I don't drink any beer, wine or champagne or something like that, for example. I'm more into cocktails. :> ) And yes, I drove them way too often, which meant that they EXPECTED me to drive again. -_-" They didn't even know until a month ago that I sometimes drink... This weekend I hope to drink with a friend of mine, I still need to tell her everything that's been going on since Friday... Actually, there's nothing happening around here... I'm only waiting for uni to start again. (2 weeks!! =D) I still have lots to do, though. Oooh and I'm planning my new cosplay now, I want to start working on it pretty soon, as there's a convention in November. :> :> I'll do Polka (Eternal Sonata) - do you know her? :> Why do you have to wear a badge? oo Was that school that big? At least the ones who are responsible for you should know you... <<" Well, I'm not that sure about Mass Effect. If I remember correctly, my boyfriend also played it.. so it must be a first person shooter? ^^" I can't handle those games - I'm just way too used to third person perspectives, like in FF. Better than FFXIII? You didn't really like XIII? ^^"
Riding a bike is good. I tried doing that again recently after not having ridden in like 15 years. You know how they tell you that you never forget how to ride a bicycle? Yeah, that's not true, heh. Of course, maybe I never fully properly learned to ride in the first place. You wanted to drink? I never thought I'd hear of the day when that was the case, haha. Oh, and so they just want you around to be the designated driver, eh? (j/k) Well, good for you that you got that worked out. Got anything else going on in your life, or are you just waiting for school to start again? I worked at a school I hadn't subbed at in like two years today. The routes had changed, but I pretty much remembered where everything was. Got yelled at for not having a badge though. Totally forgot that I should probably wear one, because lately I've mostly been working at buildings where I've worked a lot recently, and they know me. Also beat Mass Effect 2 the other day. It sets up for Mass Effect 3. I'd recommend playing it if you can. It's not exactly a traditional RPG, as there's a lot of shooting elements, but it's got a great story and a great cast of characters. It's much better than FF XIII was. Anyhoo... Wuv, Yer Mom
Wow... 9 miles is pretty much! oo" I would probably be out of breath after 2 miles. ^^" But I understand you perfectly - I wanted to go bicycling much this year. I only cycled for about 2.5 miles on a few days of the week, but one time I cycled the 9 miles to my boyfriend. (And back, which makes 18 miles in two days!) I was SO exhausted when I arrived. x-x I wanted to do that a few times more, but I've never again had the chance to. ^^" Heh, thanks, but I really didn't do that much. (Except for shouting at my boyfriend and telling him what he did wrong XD) My solution will only hurt my boyfriend, I'm afraid. His friends (which are of course very important to him!) don't care if I'm there. (Although they ALWAYS asked for me when I wasn't with them a while ago, when I thought I should give my boyfriend more time for himself... ôô") But my boyfriend told me he'd be sad if he couldn't go out with both - his friends AND me. I decided not to go out with them anymore, especially not to discos. *shudders* If we just watch DVDs or such things, I'll be happy to go to. But as his friends said, I'm always in a bad mood when we're in a disco... that's why I shouldn't go if that bothers them THAT much. (I'll go to discos with MY friends. ) Sad thing is: I really wanted to drink some alcohol (okay, one drink ^^") on Friday - but again, I was the one who was pressured to drive. That's why I didn't drink anything at all, watching them all drink, which really made me upset. But they don't see that... Ah well. Life will be so much easier once they grow up... <<"
Yuss. I wanted to get into shape, so I started exercising at the beginning of the year. Then I started running, because my brother had done this Warrior Dash last year, and I thought it'd be cool to be like "Hey, I did that!" Also, to be able to run long distances; my friends and I ran 9 miles the other day. Now, my goal is to actually be able to be running at least most of Warrior Dash next year (although I don't know if that's possible, because holy crap. Even my brother said it was hard. I totally underestimated it.) I got a cool t-shirt, hat, and medal though! Well, I'm glad that you stood up for yourself and got after your boyfriend about it. That is a tough situation with not wanting to be around his friends, though. Sounds like someone will end up with hurt feelings with that no matter what, because it sounds like your boyfriend's friends are pretty important to him (friends usually are, eh?) From the way you talk about them, his friends would probably annoy me too, haha. I hope you can figure something out. Personally, I'd probably just refuse to go out with all of them, no matter how much the significant other complained, except for occasionally. Then either just kinda ignore them, or try to make stupid jokes back at them or something (I'd probably drink too, but I know you wouldn't.) Anyhoo... Wuv, Yer Mom
Oh! ^^" So "running" was no metaphor but actually RUNNING! XD I'm pretty lazy, I wouldn't like to run a marathon, not even a small one. (Not even one mile!!) So why did you even participate? Just for fun? For your brother? ^^ Rather a dance club. Way too crowded for me and as I said, they just sat there and drank all the time. When I go out with my friends we look around the whole disco and dance a few times, only sit down and talk when we haven't got any power to dance left. Aah, gotta go out with friends again soon. >.< I told my boyfriend about the whole situation and he understood what this was about. Even his friends understood that this couldn't go on like that. It's already past - they talked yesterday and I still hope it's okay now. It seems they will stop making bad jokes about me all the time and everything. But now I'm unsure how to face them again. I don't really like those people, as I said, I don't want to be friends with them. I just want to have a "peaceful coexistence". Everything would be so much easier if they weren't his best friends. -_-" (Oh and I shouted at my boyfriend for not understanding how I feel yesterday. I'm not THAT shy. But I wouldn't start a fight with his friends. I don't see a reason for that. They're not friends of mine. I would've no problem with my boyfriend meeting them without me. But MY BOYFRIEND has. And that's the whole problem...)
I think you misunderstood about the brother thing, although I didn't really explain very well either. That race I linked you to, he ran in too. I got tired really quick trying to run as fast as him, particularly because at the beginning, there were these really steep hills. like, a couple were almost straight up, and they went for a while. And there were a bunch of obstacles, too. I was winded about halfway through, heh... Apparently I shouldn't have worn a belt; guess it caused a bad belly cramp that I got. Thankee for the well wishes on the job, ma'am! Hope you can survive another two weeks before school starts, too. So just for clarity, is a disco like a dance club or night club or something? With the crowded dance floors and the loud music and the drinking? I don't blame you if you don't enjoy that, heh. I don't like those, myself. I just don't like crowds generally, actually. "I like some people, but not everybody." But yeah; there is a definite problem there with your boyfriend and his friends, and it doesn't sound like it's getting solved if you are still unhappy. Have you really put your foot down about this? Confronted your bf and his friends, and been like, "This is not working. This needs to change." It's hard, definitely, especially if I remember correctly and you're shy like I am. But it's better to get something changed now than to suffer for the long haul. I hope you can figure something out and be happy. Anyhoo... Wuv, Yer Mom
Heh, I know what you mean. I tried to stay in contact with my brother for a short period of time as well. Then we gave up because we weren't able to write each other regularly. ^^" I hope you'll get a great job soon. But playing Mass Effect 2 sounds great to me as well. I'm still on break for another two weeks. >) Then university will start again... finally. Can't wait for something to do again. As I didn't get a job I only lurked around all the time. <<" Oh well, the friends of my boyfriend suck, especially one of them... they all say that I suck, actually, because I'm not in a good mood everytime they decide that we should go to a disco. (I hate discos, especially with people who just sit there and drink and talk. -_-") And it seems my boyfriend doesn't really understand me. I'm f-ing crying all the time because of them and he's pretty happy now as HE has talked to his friends and THEY have made some guidelines so that nothing bad will happen anymore. Did they talk to ME about their problems?!?! NO! One guideline is that we should talk to each other before it comes to a catastrophe. Guess what - they didn't talk to me even ONCE. Which means that these guidelines are probably only for ME. -_- As you can imagine, I'm not happy with this solution at all, as no one ever talks to me. And they're HIS f-ing friends, he needs to take care of them alone. I don't even want to be friends with them anymore... Ah, everything sucks, really. Sorry I ranted a bit...
