   /sigh
I do get frustrated. I do lecture, but really, you don't care do you? you don't seem to give half a damn what I say, especially when its about your health. You don't know what you look like, how pale and deathly you seem, how you appear to be gone. I can't stand it really, that all you care about there is whatever makes you feel happy, which is doing whatever I said not to.

   Holidays upon us... Wii need help
The line of work I currently pursue has me constantly informing people that the Wii is not available. Being as I am, I don't particularly enjoy such things, I purchased one for myself upon its release(much to rinoa's chagrin, we camped out for it, lets just say I knew it would be big) and now every other person comes into my workplace and asks about the system. Of course, if there were any around it wouldn't be a problem. But then there's the occasional person who feels it is my own personal fault for not being in possession of a salable console. Others blame Nintendo, or my employer. I must say, this is idiocy. To paraphrase my superior, the smartest people come and get their things early, especially if they know some items will be hard to find, those smart people bought up Wii consoles. Now I would rather refrain from crude name calling, but if you are desperate for a Wii at this point, it is your own fault for not foreseeing that the console, which has been consistently sold out for over a year, would be even more impossible to find right now. Everyone and their grandmother, as the saying goes, is after one of these things. So the best bet is to cut your losses for this month and wait till spring, when nintendo's new factory (quite possibly their second new factory built just for the manufacture of the system)comes online and supply catches up with demand.

If you are so desperate to get one, look up the wii raincheck program. You can get more information on the news, whether online or some other source (try yahoo news). However the raincheck won't get you a Wii until January.

   Frustration
Just figured I'd let you all know I still exist, and I'm alive.

Life is not quite as pleasant as I would prefer it to be though, so I'm a bit frustrated with the whole thing.

...whatever.

   busy
No update from the personality things mentioned in the profile. Rin wasn't pleased.

I'm quite busy as well, so updates are not going to be too frequent, but I'll try. Whatever. I'll live, so will you.

So long, for a a while.

   Something unexpected
I went to comic con, hence the lack of posts for the last week or two. I am also working out things for college (post Garden Education), preparing to work the polls, getting used to my second job, and going to court (speeding ticket).

So I'm not possessed of much free time lately. So tonight I had a rather odd whim. I visited eharmony.com and made up a profile. Now I know what you are all thinking, "What about Rinoa?" I hear you say. Well, it was not really intended to get away from her, just to see if I had any other matches in my area (60 mile radius). After filling out the questions for an hour or so this was the result:

"eHarmony is based upon a complex matching system developed through extensive research with married couples. One of the requirements for successful matching is that participants fall within certain defined profiles. If we find that we will not be able to match a user using these profiles, we feel it is only fair to inform them early in the process.

We are so convinced of the importance of creating compatible matches to help people establish happy, lasting relationships that we sometimes choose not to provide service rather than risk an uncertain match.

Unfortunately, we are not able to make our profiles work for you. Our matching model could not accurately predict with whom you would be best matched. This occurs for about 20% of potential users, so 1 in 5 people simply will not benefit from our service. We hope that you understand, and we regret our inability to provide service for you at this time.

You can still receive your free Personality Profile by clicking here."


Basically, no one matches me, so I can't even begin to think of anyone else but Rinoa, whom I adore.

Now, take note that at the bottom of the quote I posted it mentioned that I still get a personality profile, so I'll post that for you all in the five parts the profile is divided into. So, over the next five posts, including this one, (notice that I said posts and not days) I'll be putting each section here.

Now, here follows the first section:
__________________________________________________
Introduction to Agreeableness

This section of your profile describes your interactions with other people. The ways we communicate our feelings, beliefs and ideas to others are influenced by our cultural backgrounds, the way we were raised, and sometimes which side of the bed we got up on this morning. Some of us are very mindful of others making decisions we hope will be in their best interests, even if it means sometimes neglecting our own interests. Others of us believe each person should be responsible for themselves, taking deep pride in our own character and independence with a firm belief that others are best served by doing the same. The following describes how you engage with others; illustrating the dimension of your personality that determines your independence or your desire to reach out and touch others in meaningful ways.
You are best described as:
USUALLY TAKING CARE OF YOURSELF
Words that describe you:

* Perceptive
* Realistic
* Demanding



* Down-to-Earth
* Hardnosed
* Judgmental



* Pragmatic
* Skeptical

A General Description of How You Interact with Others

You are clearly a compassionate person; you believe that you should do unto others as you would have them do unto you, and you know that friends help their friends. But with you compassion is just one side of the coin; the other being a side that also expects others to hold up their end of the bargain. So you help others but it is with the expectation that others don't take advantage of you or try to put one over on you. In short, you expect others to treat you as you treat them.

And for those people who do ask for help when they should have taken responsibility for themselves? This is the time when your more hard-edged side comes out. You are skeptical of people when they expect others to bail them out of trouble; if they got themselves into the bind, they should work their way out of the trouble. If it's an emergency, or if it's a friend who has been there for you when you have had hard times, you are there in a quick minute. But you are a discerning person and to you there is a big difference between an emergency and a self-inflicted wound. You just look at the facts: how the situation developed, how serious the situation, and how they can or cannot get through things on their own. The history you have with the person and with similar situations will inform you whether this is or is not a time for you to get involved.

You also have some limits when it comes to being with people. Sure some people need to be with others all the time and seem to get recharged by helping out most anyone else. But that's not you. You know that you do best if you spend a fair amount of time on your own. Not that you are a loner, just that time spent by yourself is not wasted at all with you. You've come to understand that if you don't take good care of yourself, eventually you'll be not good to anyone, including yourself or others.

So your compassion is tempered by realism. Your sympathy for people in trouble is balanced by a critical evaluation of how they got themselves to the place they are. And you've learned to take good care of yourself, so you have something to give to your friends or others truly in need.
Negative Reactions Others May Have Toward You

Some people may see your practical style as lacking compassion. When your compassion is tempered, as it is at times by your discerning questions and careful consideration, it may seem to some like you have too much head and too little heart. And when you use time and energy to take care of yourself there will inevitably be some who see you as selfish and uncaring. But your approach is neither heady nor selfish. It is you. And unless your approach is causing you consistent problems in important relationships, there is really no reason to change. Your distinctive manner of having clear expectations for the relationships in which you will exert your energy is true to the core of you.
Positive Responses Others May Have Toward You

The truth is that most people respect someone who knows themselves and what they want. So even if some people don't get exactly what they want from you often they will leave with a deeper respect for you. Your frank and honest approach may help someone to help themselves when they didn't think this was possible, and they wind up better off: they're out of trouble, they did it on their own, and they have you to thank. And you were, again, true to yourself.

   Harry Potter
after maybe 20 minutes or so of standing in line, I now own the last book in the series. A piece of history folks, nothing of this ilk will come by again for quite a while, the story is finally coming to a close. I am a person who has trouble letting go of things (see ellone) no matter how trivial they are, and so to be finally forced to let go of this intangible story, that is what makes me feel it the most. I'll be reading the series, then probably before next week is out, I'll have read all of them, books 1-7.

I'll miss you all, harry, dumbledore, hermione, ron, and even snape.

   Anime Expo
Having released my frustrations here in my previous post, I figured I ought to report on something pleasant here.

Rin and I went to the expo, attended the S.K.I.N. concert, and despite a few mishaps, generally enjoyed ourselves. We were stopped many times for pictures, if, in the next week you search for pictures of anime expo 07, and find that the same squall and rinoa couple keep appearing in albums, it's probably us.

I am genuinely looking forward to next year's convention. All seems to be well. Comic Con is next up, only a couple of weeks.

The major downside is we've become seriously sleep deprived, it's 2:20, I'll be in bed by 3. Good night all.

   Bad Day
The following is innapropriate for those easily offended. If curse words, obscene gestures, scary white rappers, partial or full nudity scare you or offend you, then don't watch the following videos. You have been warned.

To rin&tin, I'm frustrated. Mostly to tin.





















Just for rin.


I may have overdone it with the videos. I'm done now. 2:20 A.M.

   The Story
I've had this song in my head for a while now, so here it is in a couple versions from youtube.





I am a bit of a stargate fan, so this is relevant to me somewhat. The rest of you may not know what it is.
Now another song I like.



I've been busy, but I haven't forgotten this place. Good bye for now.
