I know, I know. "But CB, WHAT faith in humanity!??"


Because it was one of the nights when I worked late, I had to ride the city bus home. On that ride home I had to sit next to a man easily twice my age. I stared off into space for most of the ride, like I usually do; at one point an old man (somewhere in his 60's-70's I think) got on and sat near Man A, and they started talking. I didn't catch anything of what they said, but now I kinda wish I did, just so I could know if it was as disheartening as what was to come.

Man B got off a few stops later, and Man A decided that I was a good person to talk to (noting that during this entire time I did nothing to encourage him to talk to me, or to KEEP talking to me). He started going on about Man B, and had me guess how old the guy was (Why I don't know). He said that [Man B] seen plenty of things (which I don't doubt) and that people liked him. Then Man A went off onto a tangent about how dangerous the world was today, and that it was always better to just stay in at night and, hell, why you're at it, just stay home during the day too. He cited recent college student murders as "proof" of this (if you don't know about them, then just go Google News "UNC Chapel Hill"). He said that if "Eve-something" (the one at UNC) just stayed home, she wouldn't have gotten murdered.

And then he said what prompted me to make this entry. He said that there was no use for school after highschool; that kids going to college are doing it because they DON'T want to work; that there was nothing to be gained by "typing away and working"; and that he's fine with a family, but he doesn't want any of that knowledge.

Pardon me. *goes off and bangs her head into the wall a few times*

NO POINT IN GOING TO COLLEGE?? DOING IT BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT TO WORK??

W. T. F.

On a much, MUCH happier note, I finally got Avenged Sevenfold's new CD. And it's freakin' sweet XDXD Even better than the previous one (and I thought it couldn't get better than City of Evil).

Also, restarted Pokemon Diamond again, and I'm naming the ones I catch after different RP characters. Noting that you can't check a Pokemon's personality between catching it and nicknaming it, it's SCARY how many of them fit so well XDXDXD


Lastly, I've gotten my dad his birthday gift now. Now I just have to wait for two days XD

Seen at one of Gaia's shops. This makes me giggle stupidly XD




Also, OMFG STOP TALKING TO ME WHEN I HAVE HEADPHONES ON IRL PEOPLE. I haaaaatttteeee when they do that, and they KNOW I have headphones on. I WANT MY MUSIC NOT YOUR EFFIN' VOICE.


Lastly, I think I'm getting sick again ~_~;;


And I need to finish both my all-CL and all-EXE moodsets...
roll_soul: (Keep staring...)
God fucking dammit. I need a new job, I'm going to have an aneurysm if I keep working in retail. And it's not even the people, it's my co-workers. They're either slave drivers or layabouts who don't bother to remember anything. I mean, when you know more about the store than your fucking ASSISTANT MANAGER then there's something wrong.

However, I may be insane for wanting to get an office job. But my mom used to have one, and I loved accompanying her to work and helping her, plus I love working with computers and hell, even copier machines, so I think it'll be fine.

This is, of course, all just until I can get my "being a professional artist" job off the ground.


Anyway, got my Christmas cards out in the mail today, as well as the last of packages I'm sending out (which numbered all of two anyway). Plus, completely done with my shopping. Yay.


Now, for meme answers I promised [livejournal.com profile] knifeshock, plus the meme itself.

1. Leave me a casual comment of no particular significance, like a lyric to your current favorite song, your favorite kind of sandwich, or maybe your favorite game. Any remark, meaningless or not.
2. I will respond by asking you five personal questions so I can get to know you better.
3. Update your LJ with the answers to the questions.
4. Include this explanation and offer to ask someone else in your own post.
5. When others respond with a desultory comment, you will ask them five questions.


Knifey's questions, and my answers. )




I find it funnily disturbing that I've memorized Guy Love.
roll_soul: (You remind me of the babe...)
It's barely been a day, and I'm already tired of hearing about Teklinks closing down. I'm just glad that, at least at LF, the CL community seems to be taking it better than I've seen some others. If something DOES start to happen at LF though, I won't hesitate to shoot it down. [/big bad admin]


Anyway, I figured I might as well do it too. Cutting it so anyone who wants to pass it can XD

Holiday Wishes meme )



On another note.... WHY CAN'T I DEFEAT GEMINI SPARK SP?? He always freakin' SLAUGHTERS me within 30 seconds ><;;; Maybe I should use Pegasus form and make it easier for him next time x_X

...

And why does this yahoo on AIM keep IMing me, even though I never respond? Go aawwwaaaayyyyyy.



I'm almost over my cold, yay. My throat doesn't hurt (even though it sounds like it might) and I'm sneezing here and there, but it's not as bad as it was. Gods I wish I didn't have to work tomorrow, though @_@ Christmas in retail = NOT FUN. At least I don't have to work on Christmas Eve anymore.
roll_soul: (I won't hold back.  Will you?)
As an update on a recent entry I did... Okay well the entry itself was Friends Only, but I don't think I have to shut off this entry just to say that I'm working on getting an appointment. Those who've read the entry will know what it means; those who haven't shouldn't fret ;P


Aside from that, I am sick and tired of how LOUD people are here ><; And it always seems to be between 1 AM and 5 AM. And the kids like to run around until 11-12 at night. And they like to bang on doors and the railings and stuff. REIGN YOUR FREAKIN' CHILDREN IN PEOPLE. AND GO TO FUCKING BED INSTEAD OF LATENIGHT LAUGHING. Someone the other night kept knocking on a door above us. Knocking, knocking, knocking for 5 minutes or more.... THEY'RE NOT COMING TO THE DOOR >___<;;; I was talking to Pup at the time, he knows how pissed off I got x_X;


And lastly, I stole this off my F-list rather than being tagged. Hey, I'm bored XD;

Explain your LiveJournal name and its meaning. When you're done, tag as many people as there are letters in your name.

kuna_emie )

Except I tag no one except those who wanna do it, because I can cheat like that ^^; ....And I originally wrote "chest" instead of "cheat" XD Well... *brick'd*


Yes, that's all there is to this entry. I am so uninteresting ;P

Title courtesy of the DP theme, although it makes for a pretty nice description of today, too ^^;; Got a bit of a scare earlier; there had been storm clouds outside today for, I guess, the better part of it (although I was asleep for a while due to not feeling good, so that might be inaccurate ^^; ). But they were really dark and grey when I went outside to help my father get the groceries from the car, around 3 PM. Not 5 minutes later was a LOUD "KRACKABOOM" sound that I swear echoed after it'd passed; apparently lightning had crashed across the street from us. After that, the news reported a Tornado Warning for our area for half an hour (GODS I hate the voice that comes over on those EAS messages x___X;; Pup, hearing it over the phone, called it "demon speak" and I agree ^^; ). Then the storm moved on east of us, but another small cluster passed over us again, bringing back the warning. It's all gone now, but DAMN I'm glad I've moved to a more secure location (my last place was pretty flimsy). And I HATEHATEHATEHATEHATEHATEHAAAATE that voice on the messages. Shivers me to my core. At several points I even snap-muted the TV and further covered my ears because it was scary enough to bring tears to my eyes (keeping in mind that the fact it's computery sounding pokes at my fear of robots/Automatonophobia). And I am gladgladglad all the lightning and storming is gone. Waiii x_X;


Aside from that, I've been kinda on the testy side due to PMS (except post- rather than pre- ). Mhmm yay, pissy CB x_X;



I stole this from my F-list. ) Yeah, so I kept using colors, so sue me >P

Basically, for those unwilling to click, Pokémon USA (having recently gotten the rights to the dub from 4Kids) is going to replace the voice actors. And not just replace them, but with sound-alikes. For profit. I don't watch the dub much anymore (mostly due to time, really) but this really gets me. Do they REALLY think the fans won't notice? Or that the existing VAs won't care?

Oh, and those in the same sentiments, this link might interest you...

Taken from Jem's LJ, even though I know some of the people I'm "talking" to will never read it.

List 10 things you want to say to people but know you never will.
Don't say who they are.
Disable comments. (Yeah, I decided to enable comments too, though I may regret it XD; )
Never discuss it again.



1. I hate you. I used to love you in the past, but now I hate your guts and wish you'd get out of my life. You're so many miles away now, but you've still got tendrils in me and I wish I could pull them out, uproot you, and forget you. I moved past. It's time you did too.

2. I'm sorry we never talk anymore. You're a big part of a fandom that I, sadly, have little interest in now. Not because it was cancelled, then brought back; I'm glad it was. And I still love it, I just...don't have any interest in following it anymore. And it's sad that you no longer draw for it. I'll talk to you again someday, I promise.

3. You are my world. I thank every single diety out there that you walked into my life, everyday. I just wish things would go right, for once, and that nothing would get in the way of us talking, or RPing, or just being there. "Someday" can't come soon enough, for me...

4. I see you as at the head of a ship that I'm being pulled along after, and have yet to haul myself up onto. You're an awesome person, and I envy your drawing talent. I just wish I felt closer to you.

5. I love you. You know that. And I regret that we don't talk as much as we used to. It scares me that we could be drifting apart, but I swear I won't let that happen. Even if our friendship unravels, I'll keep ahold of at least one thread, so it can be resown someday. Visit me soon, okay?

6. It's been said of me that I make friends quickly. Well, you're one of the quickest I've ever made, and I don't want to lose you, even though you live a world away. It may hurt, but someday I want to get to know you better; you can ask the same questions of me that I do of you, if you'd like. 'Sides, you know me, I'm always there for my friends...

7. I don't know what to think of you anymore. You helped raise me, but I don't know if you were always there for me. Only in my adulthood have I seen through the gossamer cloth that was your parenting, and I can stick my arm through all the holes. The opinion of the others are starting to wane and so help me, I want to stay on your side, without feeling duty-bound to. But it's getting harder to...

8. I made friends with you without even knowing who you were. Honestly if I had, I think I wouldn't have been able to RP with you that night. You drew so many awesome pics of my character, even though she was flawed as hell, and kind of a god-moder. And when I lost AOL, you were sad to see me go. I'm sorry I don't talk to you anymore, you always were one of my best online friends. I miss you, man.

9. To the collective souls of one fandom: I'm sorry I don't do much in the fandom anymore. I still love it to death, but right now it's painful to watch it, and painful to draw/write for it. But I'll finish the fic someday, as well as return to the board, once something stops hurting inside.

10. To the collective souls of another fandom: I kinda touched on this earlier. I don't really feel a part of the fandom yet, like it's a boat I'm trailing, or that I'm leaning against the outer wall of it as a city. That's probably imagined, and some of you guys seem pretty attached to me. I'll come in someday, though. Just...bear with me while I test the waters...


Yeah, I copped out on the last couple. Ah well ^^;

I was going to rant, but my inability to complain about anything stopped it cold. So you get this thumbnail instead.

The Cross Fusion between my fan Navi Mizuman, and another character of mine named Deiji. Personally I believe that there's too many CF's in the EXE series, but I made one anyway xD I just don't use it.

My pants are fixed! XD Okay, so I think I neglected to mention that my favorite pair of pants in the world (okay, second fav) got torn. Well, now they're fixed :P And I'm wearing them xD



I have a new icon! ^^ Yes, another one xD It's my default currently, but of course you can also see it by going to my userinfo if I ever change it :P I think I'm gonna actually KEEP this one! XDXD

Speaking of icons and LJ graphics and muck, I'll be doing another backgroundish, layouty thing pretty soon, similar to "Odd One Out." Maybe one where my journal is readable xD I think I'll keep it in the Code Lyoko series too, as far as who I use, just because OOO was :P Hey, let's keep up the trend, ah? And I think I already know who to use, too. Let's just hope you guys like pink...



Outside of all that, I practically crashed yesterday x_X; See, this is why I should be more careful about letting stuff I read get to me ^^; So thanks so some angrily-charged chapters in Temple of the Winds (and the fact I have an evil computer), I got pissed off at every little thing. And thanks to Yumi's LJ, which reminded me of my own hard luck in the past, I got a bit down too. A nasty combination. *cheery smile* But I'm okay now, thanks to talking with Jem and Pup, and downloading a remixed version of "Un Monde Sans Danger" ^^ Now, as long as I avoid playing Jak II, that angriness shouldn't come back for another day or so...



There's a winter storm heading our way, and it may hit tomorrow. There's supposed to be snow, then freezing rain on top of that, then sleet on top of that, and power outtages are expected, so I may poof for a few days. Or a month... The last time this happened, the power was out for nearly the ENTIRE MONTH of December x_X; Hopefully nothing will happen, but if it does, I'll be back ASAP...

God dammit. God fucking dammit. I hate my computer. It is a piece of technoclogy that gets outpaced by even a damn iPod! It is so slow, that even the most simple website (like Teoma.com) takes a couple minutes to load! And do NOT get me started on Photobucket, DeviantArt, or even my own. damn. messageboard, Digital Sosei! Its modem is 28.8 fucking K, its space is 5 GB, and its processing speed (I think) is 65 mhz. Over half its memory is taken up by viruses, adware, spyware, and programs my mother installed that do NO DAMN GOOD, and yet I can't remove any of it! It gets worse every fucking day, and I have NO MONEY to buy a goddamn new one! Someone, please, SAVE ME!!! *collapses* T-T....


*growls faintly* Not to mention I'm in a bad mood anyway, and only a step away from whirling into another fit of self-loathing. I believe my father doesn't think very highly of me, not to mention I believe I've managed to piss off someone dear to me. Plus, my heart's been taking a few hits lately, and thing is--*humorless laugh*--I can't tell that person how I feel, because they love someone else! And I want her to be happy, and I don't want to destroy our friendship, so there's THAT too! *sighs heavily* Dammit...I hate it all. I CANNOT WAIT until I am gone from this fucking place, off to...WHEREVER, where I can be MY-FUCKING-SELF, and be HAPPY, for once!
