Roaming in the shadows, I am still here. Am I?

hey guys. first off, I want to share some news that really shocked me, but most of you will probably know about it already: Heath Ledger was found dead yesterday.. they say it's most likely an overdose of sleeping pills. I'm amazed and shocked by this story, especially since I really enjoyed his acting. my thoughts go out to his family and friends, especially his little girl. I hope you guys are all doing alright. me, I'm still out of sorts and will be less frequent in visiting or at least commenting. I do read everyone's posts regularly, I just don't comment for fear of being the little bitch I've turned into. also, I've been drinking more alcohol again, which isn't a really good sign, but I can't really be too concerned about it. after all, I'm a lot more fun when I'm drunk. I'm not called the drunken sage for nothing, ya know ^^ anyway, the past few days have not been too bad. the weekend was good. we went to play some pool with some of Silver's coworkers and even though the talk was all work again (as feared) it was fun. we later returned to the coworker's house and played some card games until we were kicked out because he wanted to go sleep (wuss) saturday I had to work and my boss actually told me this: if it means you'll work this hard every saturday, I won't mind if you go out drinking every friday! so yeah, saturday was good even though we found out that one of our coworkers is in the hospital. he passed out that morning and hit his head pretty hard, but the doctors couldn't figure out what was wrong with him.. I don't know how he's doing at the moment. Sunday Silver and me watched Paprika, which was good, even though it was a bit confusing at times. we just had a nice relaxed time. monday was prepping for the presentation, which was hell.. I just can't stand those two *shakes head* yesterday we had the presentation, and whaddayaknow, one of the bimbos had a 'migraine' and couldn't come (sure, I know, migraines CAN get pretty bad. but I also just know that she was at home working on everything she still had to do, which she found out the day before. and dammit if she got away with it..) so yeah, that was a shocker, since she didn't prepare even the slightest bit of text, me and the other bimbo had to improvise her part. to make matters worse, or at least, weirder, the other one showed up with some sort of pie. so without even discussing it, she had her mom bake pie and was asking me to hand it out to people during the presentation. naturally, I declined, since if one thing's a bad idea during a presentation, it's handing out some sort of food, cause everyone gets distracted and things get noisy. she got a bit angry at me and after trying to convince me with harsh words, she decided to ask a fellow student to do it. she said she'd do it (poor thing) and was left cutting the thing up for over ten minutes while we were doing the presentation.. so half way through, everyone got distracted cause suddenly, there was this unknown substance coming their way.. all in all, it seemed like the bimbo had never even done a presentation *shakes head* you sure could tell she's originally a Commercial Economics student, since all she kept talking about was how people have money, are willing to spend that money and how we were going to take that money from them try and get them to spend their money on our trip. in the end, we turned out to be the most expensive, due to a profit percentage of 25% >_< I'm not much of an economic, so I trusted them to do at least that job correctly.. guess you really do have to do things yourself if you want to get it done right.. oh well, either way, after the most embarassing presentation of my life was over, I had to sit through all the other ones.. we were the first of the day, starting at 9 am and the last were done at around 3.45 pm. so yeah, that was a day filled with nothingness. in other news.. I've been eying this pair of leather boots for a couple of weeks now and actually had the last size 6 set apart for me at work. but I just couldn't decide on buying them or not, since they were quite expensive.. but now, my mom bought them for me, as an extra for my upcoming birthday ^^ since I'm turning 21 next saturday (yep, Groundhog day) I get an extra and I could chose for the boots or two driving lessons. well, since I'm not even near trying to get my license, I decided on the boots ^^ and man, do I ever love them hehe ^^ I've been reading Priest, which I ordered for a friend of mine. it's alright, if you don't mind the sketchy drawing style too much. I'm used to nicely cleaned up mangas and was at first annoyed by the way this one looks like it isn't really finished. the story is pretty dark, but it's a quick read, mostly gore and fighting, so it isn't all too bad. not something I would pick up myself very fast, but certainly recommendable for those who like gothic, gory, spaghetti-westerns. loads of zombies too ^^ yesterday, I've discovered a fun new pass-time called Bite Fight. it's a pretty basic text RPG, for which of course you have to pay to play it fully, but it's also fun to play the free version. if anyone would like to try it or just check it out, click the mysterious link just above my post ^^ I'm called Lytjuh and you can send private messages, which is fun to do hehe ^^ as for today, I'm not sure whether to work on studying for my upcoming resit for a test I flunked last year, work on my action plan for the internship, work on making study goals for the internship, work on the assignment to make up for last block's project or do nothing and just watch some anime, read manga and finally get back to the letter Magnus-ojou-sama sent me (sorry, I will get to it as soon as I feel like I'm able to write a decent letter back! *bows*) I'll probably do the last one, cause I'm kinda lazy and want to relax after getting through yesterday. it's almost Winter-een-Mas (25th-30th) and I have to admit that I'm almost done with Me&My Katamari >_< thankfully, I still have loads of Tales of Eternia and Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth to play. also, I still haven't installed Guild Wars Nightfall, so I could play that. well, I'm off, but not before sharing some LOLcritters with you all: and this one goes out to LS-sempai (of course) MCL, take care, till next time, I'm outti.
