That's a lot of people. Must've been a party scene or something, eh? Yeah, that does sound challenging; bet your throat was feeling it, too. My throat was definitely feeling it today. Hopefully it's better tomorrow (it got worse from yesterday, actually...) You should punch each one of the people who didn't respect your authority, and have someone follow you around filming you while you did it. Use the film as an example for your next project to those who would choose not to listen to you then. Or were you just talking about people driving? ...you should film yourself punching bad drivers, too. Just follow them where they're going, and punch them, then leave without an explanation. You don't like punching people? ...you'll get over it

You're not learning anything at Uni? You've gone through this whole term without learning anything new at all? That's a bit of a waste... It was because it was all prerequisites, or something? Hopefully next term will be better for you.

So what you're saying is that intuitively, you realize when you should use the word, but you couldn't really explain when the word is supposed to be used? Like, you don't know the definition?

Tired... Watching Tiny Tune Adventures... Takes me back. Watched The Great Mouse Detective before that (a Disney cartoon movie from the 80's... also takes me back.) I love nostalgia... Today, I sent my PS3 back, because it was broken. I also found out two of my rear lights are out; the left and middle lights. That's no good; could get a ticket! Anyhoo...

Wuv, Yer Mom

That's a long day. It was horrible, eh? Did something go wrong? Hope you got what you needed, though. Sounds like my brother's day, though; he drove an hour and a half to pick up someone who was to film with him tomorrow, only to have her not be there for him to pick up. So he drove back to film with us, and someone who was supposed to film with us didn't show up to filming. So we only did an hour of filming today; shots of me stalking around outside, and the guy pulling up in his car.

Being with friends does make life more enjoyable... most of the time. Although don't you also get a sense of accomplishment at Uni or shooting the movie? Like you're working towards a goal? I need a goal to work towards, I think. I've put my book on hold, seeing as I'm just taking forever to write it, btw... I should write something else in the meantime, if I can't write that, maybe.

Lulu was a cool character. They didn't do all that much with her though, eh? The part with more of her backstory is an optional area. It is given that she was going to marry Wakka's brother, who died, and a kind of relationship is hinted at between Wakka and her (and expanded upon in FFX-2, I hear.) It wasn't a lot, though. I was kind of hoping for more from her. Kind of like how I hoped for more from Freya in 9.

It doesn't happen to frequently here anymore, either. Friends stay until late in the night a lot of time-frequently because they fell asleep on the couch or something. This friend needed a place to stay for the night. He's resituating himself from North Carolina and Idaho right now, actually. But yeah; one of my favorite things is staying up late and talking to friends about random stuff. We frequently do this with dim or no light, calling it "dark talk" (it's usually more serious subjects on these occasions, too.)

Are you asking me when you're supposed to use the word "must?" "Must" is used when the verb of the sentence is something that "has" to be done. Like, "You must get there before 9 PM if you want to go today, or else they will be closed, and you will have to go back tomorrow." Make sense? And math is hard. I am terrible at it. I have a feeling that if I tried in it, I'd do okay, but I don't really like it at all.

Thanks, I think

Three dogs, eh? I'll bet they were very excited, running around everywhere, and causing general mayhem, haha. Wish I could've been there. But yeah; sounds like a good night. Now, I've got a cold, and I will sleep well tonight, hopefully. Have an enjoyable time at school, young lady, and good luck with filming! Anyhoo...

Wuv, Yer Mom

Hahaha. You're welcome XD I thought it was cool too, I found it by accident.

Yeah... I suppose since I really had nothing else going on when I was playing, it was okay. But it really makes me feel irresponsible, like I'm turning into a really lazy person who doesn't do anything but play video games and looks on the internet all the time. I don't wanna be that guy, y'know? I don't want to be a burden to anyone else. I don't want to get fat and lazy and be content to just stare at a computer screen all day. I know that I said that to you. Those first couple nights, I really enjoyed it, but after that, it felt more like an addiction. If there's nothing else to do, it's okay. But I need to feel that I'm accomplishing something.
Heh heh. I like your tie in to being hungry, btw. And don't worry; what you've written is fine, lady. ^^

Heh. Yuna was that bad, eh? I've seen that she started that whole pop star gig thing for that game, which seems rather silly. And then there was this new character, Paine. Where did she come from? Yeah, and I didn't really care for Rikku, either.

Argh, some day soon, I will remember to record myself singing for you. I need a kick in the butt for that one, definitely. That would give me something to do, indeed. Although today, I was rather busy: worked from 11 to 7:30, went to my table top RPG I play infrequently on Friday nights, then went to visit with a friend who's come back to town. He has been through some rough stuff recently, and it was really good to see him, actually. We talked to him for a long time about his stuff, and then prayed for him. It was rather emotional. He's staying here tonight, actually; sleeping right behind me on the other couch.
...I'm really enjoying how the backspace button means "go back a page" for some reason or another, infrequently, when I'm typing messages online.
That's cool that school is occupying for you. Did you learn lots of new and interesting information?

Yeah, see, the thing about internet communities, is that some people believe that there are actually no girls on the internet. That anyone who acts like a girl is actually a 40 year old man, or whatever. That's a very cynical way to look at the world, of course. I don't.

In any case, it's really late right now. I just wanted to get back to you because... I dunno. You've said you're not worried about me writing you again right away. But the sooner I write you, maybe, the sooner I'll hear from you again Maybe it's the time of night, and the less amount of sleep I got last night... I should say goodnight. Know I've babbled on for a while already. Anyhoo...

Wuv, Yer Mom

Suits me? Hm how so?

I like your name!

Because if you knew that I would have to kill you. Slowly. Painfully. Torturously.

Because the ninja army would be out to get you.

So really I'm doing you a favor and saving you from them by killing you first. It'd be a far worse fate, trust me.

Or I could just tell you. My name is David. Nice to "officially" meet you lol.

Haha, yeah FFII will do that to you a few times. It isn't that great, IMO, but someday I'll finish the game.

Aimee = Hyz. Sorry, I forget sometimes and interchange the two when I talk of her, since I've not considered her to be Hyz for quite some time.

And GO VOTE!

Oh yeah, you said that it was a class all in English. Sorry; sometimes I miss details like that. There's an example of me not remembering something! Also, I might check that thread out; if I take a break from Oblivion long enough to do it, heh. I've been installing mods so I can do extra stuff, like boss NPC's around, go beyond the in game borders, new territory, killing unkillables, etc. It's fun. And a waste of time, probably.

Yeah, I've noticed that banner in your sig for Auron. That's cool; Auron is probably my favorite character in that game. Maybe because none of the characters in the game quite fit the archetype for "Tom's favorite character in this game, heh." He was the badass of the game, eh? That's usually not my favorite. FF7, however, had like 3 or 4 characters I liked a lot: Cait Sith, Cid, Vincent, and Red XIII. I even liked Tifa quite a bit. It really was a fun game. Too bad it's attracted so many fanboys and fangirls, and spawned countless spinoffs that don't really measure up... (Yeah, my problem is with the legacy, I think.) Did you ever play X-2? I've heard from one person that it was actually a fairly fun game, if you gave it a chance.

Come to think of it, we did have a sort of "Christmas Calendar" when I was younger. It was a cloth banner that had a picture of a house on it, and there was a bear that you pinned up in different locations of the house each day, until finally he made it to the living room on Christmas day (where his family was waiting, or something.) No chocolates, though. Although my birthday is the 16th, so I paid attention to where he was on that day, heh.

Nope, no work. Still. I'm filming again tonight, though, and doing choir practice, so that's something. I also went out with some friends yesterday. Also, got my PS3... but it doesn't work right. It will run the disk for like the first few minutes, and then can't read it anymore, it seems. Also, it didn't come with a controller. So I went out and bought a controller before I knew this. I've spent like $290 on a system I can't play... I'm a little pissed about it. Need to do something about it. However, I've been feeling very sedentary and lazy lately, for some reason... Need a kick in the ass, I think.

Hope you can find something to occupy your time with. Wish the same for me, please! (Other than more Oblivion...) Anyhoo...

Wuv, Yer Mom

EDIT: I just read the first half of the first page of that thread (or thereabouts) and got discouraged by all the walls of text... I think it's funny that that kid suggested you might not like FF9, of all the FF games, however. Did he completely miss the part where your sn is Freya? He also called you "man," ha. Not very observant.

Bored is no good. You need to play some old skool gaming...that'll keep you occupied rather well!

I've been hit and miss. But excited that Aimee will be on more often starting next week, so I can get my time with her in!!! <3

You should vote for me, for anything Aimee nominated. And vote for her on anything I nominated her for. That would earn you a present for sure. ;P

been forever, huh? How the heck have you been???

FFXII bashers? Eh? Was someone bashing it in a thread today, or something? The other day, my friends and I were at Gamestop, and the guy at the counter was like, "I know people are gonna yell at me for this, but I really loved FFXII." And one of my friends was like, "Well we all liked it too, so you aren't offending anyone."

I would have liked to see that presentation; sounds funny. Although I wouldn't have understood what you were saying. That reminds me: One time I did a presentation on how to draw, actually. Actually, I did it twice; the first time for a room full of High School students, and the second time in front of college sutdents of various ages. The High School students laughed. The college students... not so much. A la Rodney Dangerfield, I thought, "I'm dyin' out here!"

I think you told me it was a murder mystery before.

Although I haven't really played this obsesively in a long time. The odd thing is that I've owned Oblivion for over a year now, and I played it the first time when I was in Yellowstone on my friends' PS3. I just decided to play it for a little while the other weekend, and then I didn't play it again until this weekend. And then... it just sucked me in again. I swear, it's one of those games that will steal your soul. I actually finally beat it last night... and then I played it some more (it's one of those games that never ends. All of the Elder Scrolls games are like that, actually.) The end was pretty cool, though.
Yeah, the game is Arkham Asylum (you were very close, ma'am! ) Saw a demo of it yesterday. It looks really pretty. (I still don't have my PS3, btw...) FFX is a game I've thought about going through again, too. I remember when it first came out, a lot of people were talking it down, and at the same time, at least a couple of my friends heralded it as their favorite and the absolute best in the series. (My favorite will always be VI, of course.)

Is the Advent Calendar really important over there, or something? What is the significance? Just the holiday season? And also: You are right, of course. I shouldn't worry that much about what they think. Although I will definitely try not to miss church next weekend. And also to make sure that game doesn't devour my soul again like it has in the past, haha.

Btw: Do you get winter break? How close are you to it? Anyhoo...

Wuv, Yer Mom

Hm. Do you get nervous at all when you have to give a presentation, or do you thrive on that kinda stuff? I get really nervous if I have to do anything in front of someone else, personally. Although if I get people to laugh, I start getting fired up, because I love doing that. So a lot of my speeches involved trying to get people to laugh with goofy delivery and stuff. In a way, I suppose I'm opposite of you, because I don't mind speeking up to the professor in the crowd. I can focus on just talking to the prof., or something, I guess.
Well, that's cool that you at least have a goal in mind for your life. Maybe you will figure it out after doing it for a time.

Yeah, It's been a long time for it not to come. Hopefully it will come tomorrow.
I'm curious now, what the scene was that you were filming, if your actors were talking but had no lines. Are you gonna put music over it, or something?

So yesterday, after I wrote you, I started playing Oblivion at like 4 PM. I did not stop playing Oblivion until 6 AM. At about 10 PM, I ate something. My roommates asked me if I wanted to watch a movie with them, and I said "yes, but start it without me." And I just played through. When it was like 3:30, I thought, "maybe I should go to bed." Then it was 5, and I was like "Oh... just a little bit longer..." and then it was 6, and I was like "Eeeeewwww..." and just went to bed. I didn't go to church this morning, consequently. So after telling you that the only wasted time is time not enjoyed...
Too much reading and sitting in front of the computer, eh? Too much staring at words? Don't forget to be taking breaks every couple hours or so, missy! *shakes a finger*

Um, in the Catholic Church, I'm pretty sure we follow the advent calendar. It's only a month, right? This weekened was like the first weekend of advent, or is next weekend? I wouldn't know... I didn't go to church, heh. My parents were like "Church is important, you know. You shouldn't skip it." *shrug* I would say that that kind of thing is what drives people away, but they can do that to me and make me feel guilty about it.

Good luck with your school, lady! Anyhoo...

Wuv, Yer Mom

I don't know. I haven't noticed anything different. Maybe I am being oblivious again.

I think I understand. You're tired of being "guided," maybe? You just want to be given the information you are to learn, and be left alone from there? Tired of being a "student?" Plus, I know that you are shy, so that would make sense that you don't want to be the center of attention, eh? Are you becoming a teacher because you want to be the guide? But when that happens, you will become the definite center of attention... What age group are you wanting to teach, again? Why do you want to be a teacher, exactly? I did, because I wanted to be like a couple of my teachers from High School. That desire is gone now, I think. Although being a guide of sorts is still a desire, somehow.

So these kids hate studying, and don't want it to be an aspect of their schooling. ...that's ridiculous. No format would ever support not studying. They do realize this, right? What exactly do they want the format to be? Do you know?

My PS3 has not arrived yet. Hopefully it will be here today. I ordered it the Friday before yesterday, and they sent it out on Monday... And the movie seems to be going slower than my brother anticipated. Although what we shot looks good. We only shot two scenes with me, though, and I wasn't even really acting; I was cleaning off a knife over a dead dog in one, and slitting someone's throat in another. I don't mind, though. But yeah; that's how it goes some days, doesn't it? Did the actors get the giggles and mess up their lines a lot?

So, I've had a little bit of an epiphany this morning. I realized that I am always in a hurry about everything, and I stress out about everything getting done. Even when I'm not in a hurry, I try to get from point a to point b as quickly as possible quite frequently. And I need to cut that out. Slow down and enjoy the world around me. Family, friends, nature, etc. Enjoy what God gave us, eh? The only wasted life is life not enjoyed or appreciated. Thought I'd share that with you, for some reason. Hope you're enjoying your life right now, missy! Anyhoo...

Wuv, Yer Mom

I believe you are correct, ma'am; we will probably write more this way

College is school. It's just school that you pay for, and that you don't really have to go to if you don't feel like it (unless you do it too often and get dropped.) Personally, I think smaller classes also sound better, because you have more opportunity to talk to the professor (although that's the only kind of school I experienced; all the classes at LB were around 30 people.) College is damned expensive, though. And students stay in the auditorium at night? Do they have money issues, or something? Or are they just like, "gotta study, gotta study, GOTTA STUDY!!" But yeah; college can be more difficult for some people, because they're also working at the same time. Although maybe that's more of a Community College thing... Basically, though, let me get the jist of what you're saying; these people are not as good at school as you, and they're trying to put it in a format that favors them, but not necessarily you? Going so far as to strike? That's pretty lame.

Maybe, heh. Although some companies don't tell you one way or another, because they're jerks. Thanks for sharing a little of your positive attitude with me, though ^^
As for the games... I've not gotten my PS3 yet. It went in the mail on Monday, I think. Tomorrow is Thanksgiving. Hopefully it will come today, because I will likely be out on Friday. Then again, what about Saturday...? But I've been trying to play Fallout 2. It's hard. My roommate summed it up nicely: "So, your job is to go out into this post-apocalyptic world and see if it doesn't kill you?" Basically, yes. The game's like, "Here! Have these enemies you can barely beat, and also these enemies that will kill you every time if you try to fight them (and even at times when you try to get away) right at the beginning of the game!" It's random encounters, too.

So, filming tonight. Hope that goes well. Been practicing my lines a lot. How's your movie coming along? You still doing it? Also, hope that stuff with your school gets sorted out soon. Have a nice day, lady! Anyhoo...

Wuv, Yer Mom

Students went on strike? I didn't know they did that. Why? Do they feel the material is too hard, or something? Huh.

In any case, my life isn't all that interesting lately, either. I take every opportunity to hang out with friends, amy annoyed by certain annoying friends (see my thread in GC; in particular, we have been talking to and about the bipolar one a lot lately. The general consesus is that he needs to get over himself, quit whining, and stop wasting his life.) And that of course leads me to think about what I'm doing with my own life. Not everyone can be a bigshot, but do I really want to resign myself to custodial work? And I haven't heard back from that resort place in Germany, so I'm beginning to feel discouraged about that.Turned in another application today with the school district because two different people in the district mentioned it to me and wanted me to, although I don't have high hopes for that either. Oh well. Just need to get by, and get by... and then what? I also spent $200 on a PS3, $38 on two ps3 games, and another $20 on three PC games. So I'm wasting my money, too.

So that's what's going on with me. Probably good that you don't punch anybody, really. I don't necessarily mean hard, though; just kinda shove your fist into their body, without much real force behind it. Shove them with your fist type of thing. As for the other thing... I don't remember what we were talking about anymore, really. Heh. So I will try to keep it short, as per your request. I will just say that you stick to your guns. Figure out what you really want to do, and go for it. Just do it. Don't worry about the whole or how difficult it is, just worry about taking things step by step, and trying. That's advice I need to follow, myself.

Hope your life picks up again, soon, and gets exciting, ma'am. Anyhoo...

Wuv, Yer Mom
