Welcome to my site archives. 10 posts are listed per page.
I've applied to 3 jobs now, no replies as of yet. It's going to be horrible for me if I don't get one soon. I'm not talking money wise, I mean health wise. I just sit around the house as I am now. Sure I still workout for a little under an hour, but that's... ::does the math:: 1 hour out of the 18 that I'm awake. On top of that, my house is not stocked with healthy food... lots of junk and quick food ;_; I don't want to fall further out of shape. It's rainy so I can't do anything outside either... GRAHH, this is a bad start to the season.
Oh wells, I've been holding off on drawing to, but that's changing today/tomorrow. I still have Hell's Light, JD, and Tiggerolla to draw for, your pictures will be up by the end of the week.
Zombie fight went bad by the way, lost 90% of the town/village we found in the mountain because the idiots wouldn't run away from the tens of thousands of incomming zombies. These are the stupid, slow moving zombies to. So the only advantage they have is numbers >.> well, my weapon of choice (my spiffy boken) broke mid battle ;_; Oh, a few of you were there, but you just kinda show up as shadows/outlines of people, since I don't really know what you look like ^^, funny how my mind works eh? Hope I get to continue the adventure. Comments (6) |

Couple of warnings for the general populuce... For you Naruto fans, do not see the third movie. It sucked so bad for the first 4/5s of the movie that it's not even worth watching. If you want to see Lee fight a good fight, catch the 10th part of 12 on youtube. That's a really good fight, but naruto and sakura? Nope... Sakura only hits her apponant once (granted she only needs to hit someone once to pretty much kill them O.o), and naruto is pretty much an afterthought to it all. The loud mouth little !@#$% has to be carried to beat the last guy, who was pretty much already defeated by this sabercat.
Another movie gone bad? That'd be Spider-man 3. Don't shoot to kill yet, I only give this warning out to avid comic book fans. The movie doesn't follow the comic at all. It may as well have not been called spider-man, maybe... "peter parker deals with becoming emo" I'm not going to give anything away, because a good number of people would be pretty mad. All I'm gonna say is that Venom was added as an afterthought to the movie, and tofer graceson (?) is not an Eddy Brock. The director didn't want Venom in the movie, the bean counters did (majority of people are there to see venom) so he was forced to do a less than half-!@#$ed job. Some crazy talk about how Venom serves as a more perfect contrast to spider-man if he looks and moves EXACTLY like he does. NO, no no no no NO, Venom is supposed to be as big as the Hulk and be slow and vicious.
Meh... I've been playing .HACK//G.U. and I can't put it down. Literally, I go to save and quit, but I just move on to the next thing instead. It's so involving. The storyline is awesome, gameplay is great, music is perfect, and voice acting as a load of big name people.
But, enough about that, I'm gonna go back to sleep to see if I can continue that zombie invasion dream. Comments (8) |

::mighty roar::
I'm back in fighting form!!!! Still no job though >.> yet. Sorry for havin' to MIA over the weekend, I had to erm... I guess "discover myself" lmao. I got a fortune that said that recently. Not much discovery happened though, I just had to get over the stress of leaving my friends (dorm friends, not you guys) and finals. Speaking of which... grades should be up soon, well, sometimes this week.
I'm gonna go poke around sites. If there was anything REALLY important in posts before today, PM me, cause I'm not up for reading past posts (some specific people especially).
Cheers for optimism!!! ::raises mug::
CRAP, forgot responses... just one really important one that I need to address.
Krustyknuckles: How ther flip did you know I was playing Dragon Quest O.o you're spying on me aren't you!?
And everyone: I'm touched that you all cared how I was doing. But, I'm all better now, so no worrying, goodness knows some of you do it enough already ^^
Not gonna be around for a bit, as some of you may have noticed already. I feel like I'm on the edge of something terrible, and I need to do something about it. Problem is I don't know what it is... Might just be depression getting to me. But, I refuse to see anyone to fix it, cause I know myself. This will pass, and I would never consider ending my life. Well, I'll be back soon.
Keep safe, and everyone try to stay happy/out of trouble while I'm gone. Comments (11) |

Sidequests, sidequests, and more sidequests
Sidequest is really just a flashy word for busy work. They're also the bits of the story that aren't "required" but if you want to get anything done you gotta do 'em. In this case... I think I'll list what they were in rpg victory fashion (cue victory music of your choice)
Double Semester Book Return: O
Brian gaines: +1 Srength, +2 Patience, $126
Prep for Parental Return: O
Brian gaines: +3 Stamina, Parent's Respect+
Hunt for a Job: X (on going)
Brian gaines (it says gain even if it's negative): Parent's Respect (Mother)-
Now a little explaination. The book return consisted of me carrying 2 semester's worth of books about half a mile over to the student Union, then standing in line with said books for just under an hour. Hense the gain in strength and patience. Good news is that I made $126. Which... isn't that much, considering.
Prepping for Parental Return? Yeah, my parents were away for a wedding over the weekend. I thought it would be a good idea for them to come home to a clean house and a freshly mowed lawn. Yeah >.> I finished inside with plenty of time. But, I only had about 20 min. to do an acre's worth of mowing with a lawnmower that breaks down every so often. I was running around franticly for a good 3 hours, thus the stamina, and you can't gain stamina without strength (it just works that way).
Hunt for a job: I'm jobless as of right now. I blame Gamestop for this one (at least most of it). I put in an application almost a month ago and they haven't even looked at it yet!!!! So I have to look for other options. Problem is, I'm kinda picky, no fastfood, never again busch, and something with technology. I have a job set up, but they aren't hiring until June. It's a sure thing that I'd get the job, but my mom got all pissy that I wouldn't have a job for a month. So now I've got to mope around and see if ANYTHING is hiring.
That's not really what has me angered though. It's my room mate. This lazy irrisponsible dumb @$$ hasn't had to work for anything in his life. He calls his mother stupid right to her face and what does she do? ... Buys him a damn phone!!! He's failing and she feels that he deserves a Zune. On top of that, he was handed a job for the summer to. Which, I may need to go and sabotage before he recks something. He's going to be "responsible" for mowing the sports fields all over the city's schools. For this (sitting on his butt) he gets paid over $9 an hour, 50 hour work week, the last 10 hours of that being time and a half, making $495 a week... if he shows up for work. I mean, that is completely unfair. I vow to get a better job than that, and I won't just keep it for the summer. I will show him up! I'll prove that hard work can pay off better than luck.
Now if you'll excuse me, I've got a job to find... and for some reason this guy wants me to collect 17 rabbit tails for some spell... stupid wizards. (no bunnies were harmed for the sake of that joke) Comments (8) |

This post brought to you by... stupidity: causing trouble for you and I every !@#$ing day.
So yeah... it's the morning of exams, specifically it's 2 AM. I just got back inside from a... FIRE ALARM!!! Who the !@#$ pulls a fire alarm at 1:30 in the morning, especially the morning of exams!? I have to get up for an exam in 4 hours and I've only gotten about 2 hours of sleep.
Grrr, I'm not gonna let it be a total loss. So here's some more recent pictures of me (not just faces this time).
That's me on my jailce... dorm room bed. Roomy caught me fixing my glasses.
This is me with my first load to go home. It was downpouring rain only 2 minutes before I took this, then it stopped before I got outside again. Just for reference, that's about 100 lbs. in the red bag, 50 in the blue. They balance out O.o And, for some reason it looks shopped, I assure you it isn't.
And here's dimwit...
Can you see the lack of intelligence (as I spell stuff wrong, hey, it's pitch black in here right now and I'm sleepy)
Well, I said I wasn't gonna post. But, how often do I listen to myself?
I pretty much hurt EVERYWHERE. 4 hours straight of sword work, katas and what not. Then another couple of hours on the machines... then another hour of Wii sports.
And for today, mowing my jungle of a lawn. Half an acre isn't exactly a minor task.
OH, I sat down to watch the english dubbed One Piece episode on Saturday. I've pretty much been just reading the manga, so I haven't had to endure the attrocity that is 4kids dubbing. I was almost in tears as to how bad it sounded, and all of the rampant censorship. The episode was Zolo (son of a !@#$% it's ZORO, the best swordsman ever) vs. Mr. One (a guy who's made of steel and can turn any part of his body into a blade). Ok... both people are using blades, there's gonna be blood right? WRONG, they can't have blood on TV, that would be horrible, there could be kids watching. No, Zoro (it hurts to type it with the L) gets hit with a one-two buzz saw punch, and all that happens is he's winded and his clothes are "darkened". It's not even a decent censorship. He's supposed to be covered in blood, and instead of redrawing it, they just splice in a non-matching shot of his clothes smudged. Bleeding from the mouth? Most people would do that after that kinda of trauma, but nope, all that happens in "4kids One Piece world" is that apparently your mouth no longer moves when you talk. Gods I'm glad Funimation is taking over and rereleasing the episodes.
I think I'm gonna stick to the manga from now on... in fact, I need to go reread that section just to get all of the horrible one liners and puns and censorships out of my head. Comments (4) |

O.o so much to repond to... I got a bunch of comments on here, then on EVERY one of my pictures. Sheesh, let's see what I can remember.
The headwound: It didn't take 12 hours to put on, I was just saying that picture was taken 12 hours after I got it put on. Gave it enough time to bleed and look more realistic. I ended up wearing it for 2 days, until I woke up and it was stuck to my pillow >.> still can't get the stain out of the pillow case.
Ok, nothing else to really report. I'm still working on tiggerolla's pictures (I can't draw hair ;_; it's giving me a hard time), JD's, and Hell's light. I have the weekend off, so I should get them done by tomorrow.
I now have a request for you guys. Go visit fmarox66, she took a bit of a break and now no one but me visits her ;_; Comments (5) |

Well, I THOUGHT it was gonna rain yesterday. We had BLACK clouds up there and not a single drop. But, the weather guessers tell me that we're supposed to get severe thunderstorms after about 4 today. >.> I don' like T-storms.
Big suprise, I have "cosplay" pictures up of me when I got shot in the head >.> nah, not really, it's just a really good make up job I got for the halloween season.
Pictures dedicated to Angel Zakuro and God of Death should be up later to day, just gotta get my butt over to school and scan them in.
Today's boss battle, Psychology exam!!!!
Primary technique: Confusion
recommended defense: Move to next question (we have about 75 questions, and we only pick 50 to answer)
Secondary technique: End of day lazyness
recommended defense: Focus dumb ~!@#

Hell's light: Congrats, you have officially left the longest comment I've ever gotten O.o and don't sleep in on Saturday
redmoonchick: I'm feeling much better now, no pain at all ::cringe::
Angel Zakuro: Yay for your picture, it'll be up later ^^
Krusty: well, it's BAMF because I am one B*A*M*F. Oh, and paying attention to where you're going lowers random encounters by a significant percentage.
Hoaryu: You'll be happy to hear that I kicked the !@#$ out of my allergies. No sniffles for a while longer now.
Iruka Sensei: Come on, let's go kick some butt!!!! Anyone that thinks they can stand in our way is goin' down!!!
Baptistgirl: swiffer duster is for solid floors...not carpet... I tried it ;_; Nah, I'll just be taking a vacuum into my room and attacking everything with it.
God of Death: Round 2 is the psych exam >.> I'll be fine...
NaNa: What's with everyone not liking math? I love the subject. Not enough to get a degree in it... but enough. Oh, and I'm all healed up now.
General announcement: I'm all healed everybody. Cure 2 (a pizza and an ice pack) made it all better. Comments (8) |

Brian: 1 Oak Door: 1
I'll explain that one. We had a fire alarm yesterday, and standard procedure is to close these midway doors in the middle of the hall. I was the first one back upstairs (all 4 flights, I was quick ^^). I got the awesome idea to run and jumpkick the doors open. Hense the score, the doors opened (people cheered, we all thought it was cool) but I injured my ankle >.> Not a serious injury, but it's probably overextended.
Well, it's gonna be a rainy day, and I've got some serious studying to do, so I don't know if much work on these pictures are gonna be done. I do have a couple more in mind. The problem with dedicating pictures is, I don't know what to associate with people. Well, you'll see when they're posted. Afterwords I'll take requests ^^ I just don't want to ruin any suprise.
Allergies have finally found me. I was fine until I spent the night at home ::sniffle:: My room is so dusty it's kinda hard to breath in there, and I had the great idea to sleep in there... oh well, I'll be fine.
