Taken off Myspace. This kinda shows my distaste towards the site, but I had to let my true feelings show through here. You're suppose to check the traits that apply to you, and I found it funny which were the "boy" traits and which were the "girl" traits. And I was amused, so I shared it here.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A survey, where I'll question the question.

Of course all you're suppose to do is mark the one's that apply to you, but then how do you get anything out of it? (Who makes these things?)
KEEP IN MIND MOST OF THESE ARE SARCASTIC REMARKS....so please don't pummel me!

Your boy side
[] you love hoodies -because, as we all know only boys like to cover their heads when it's cold.




[x] you love jeans - Girls aren't allowed to wear jeans! Geez, what's wrong with you.




[] dogs are better then cats - Most guys only say this because they think their friends will pick on them if they like cats. Rough.

[x] you've played with/against boys on a team - They're people too, you know.

[x] you owned a DS PS2 or Sega - Sooo, basically you have a boy trait if you owned ANY video game console?? Because, as we all know the video game market industry is specifically DIRECTED at ONLY boys.

---REPOST THIS AS::
---I have [number] guy traits and [number] girl traits

    So today was my last day at Game Crazy. I'm relieved to say the least, but that awkward moment that was bound to happen finally showed its big fat face right before I clocked out. I've kept my manager completely up to date on my new job happenings, which I assume few people would actually ever do. I put in my two weeks, I worked diligently right up until the end. So when that time came my manager gave another stab at keeping me on. He tried to convince me 'well you won't get discounts and you can't rent movies for free anymore'. Then he said that I could stay on as an 'on call' employee for like a once a month schedule or something. But here's the thing: I don't want to give up my spare time to work at a video game store. I have precious little anyways, and with the extra $1.75 that I'll be making at Aaron Bros I really don't think that the one to three movies I rent monthly is enough to make me stay. And considering I've purchased say oh....5 games in the past year that I've been there, that 10% discount doesn't account for much.
    After I admitted that I was really done, he immediately said "Well I'm taking your discount off then". Well, I expected that sure. After I gathered my coat and such from the back (we have these name tags and hooks for stuff to hang) he immediately took my name down and wrote the new guy's name on it. Now, I'm not one to complain about continuing on to a better job. In fact I don't think I could happier about it. But, couldn't he at least waited until I left? Of all the employees I've been there the longest, I've been the most loyal, and I left the right way (as apposed to getting fired). I've never stolen (as others have), customers have always liked me and I've gotten along with everyone who ever worked there and even next door in the Hollywood Video (the two are connected).
    Heh, I guess it just happens that ways sometimes. Well I start the new job next Thursday and it looks great. I don't think I need the whole "well just in case it doesn't work out I can go back to Game Crazy"..Uh, no. If it doesn't work out, then damn I'll just look for something else LOL.

That's about it. I'll go back to visit Jeff and Kevin but really....I just don't think I care to see Tim after that. Not that he's bad but I just, yanno? Guh.

So I'm sitting in Josh's morning  World Building class. He's showing us how to make tiled textures and dirt maps. Not that this is interesting and all, but I'd much rather be drawing or something. Just something, er, productive? Yeah, I know this is part of my degree, but I don't plan on applying for any jobs that have to do with building 3D worlds. >_>

I guess I could talk about what I did yesterday. It wasn't much but bleh. We were originally planning on meeting up with our friend Thijs and taking the two dogs to the dog park, but as the day went on it just, didn't happen. It's so annoying when you're looking forward to doing something and it just 'doesn't happen' and no one seems to make any effort towards it. And so, a really nice day (one of the first) and it went to waste. *Sigh*

Well I did some stuff indoors too. I read the weekly chapters for my economics class (about 50 pgs) and did part of the homework for it. I surfed DA a lot (what's new! lol) and worked on some art stuff. There's a pair or 2 foot rainbow wings that I've been working on for a friend in Missoula and I finally pulled them out again and died another 20 feathers rainbow colors. And if you're wondering how long that takes.....a long time! And I still have about another 70 to go! *Dies* But eh, I promised her I'd make them for her, since it was her birthday in December and I need to find out how much shipping is anyways.

So, last night  I wanted to draw something on paper. I had no idea what to draw so I pulled out my magical and mythical creatures encyclopedia for ideas. I didn't pick anything too crazy, but I decided on a Chinese unicorn - a Ki Rin. I sketched out a father and a baby Ki Rin running over a puddle - or some kind of water I guess. XD At first I hated it - tried a different, stylized hair technique which I'm still not sure about. Then I started to like it the more detail I added. BUT it's practice, right? Right.

Well even though nobody reads this I figured I'd post anyways more for my own reference than anything. *Doot-do-doo! Talks to myself*

So it's settled. Castlegate apartments are total jerks and can take their insults and shove it!
A year ago they move us into a different building because they were renovating the old apartment.
The air conditioning was out from May 2007-July 2007 and the average temp in our apartment was 104 degrees.
There's still a hole in the ceiling from when rain drained through it...almost a year ago.
We found out that maintanence crews let themselves into the apartment when we're not there without us knowing.
Last week they tell us that we have to move out by the 27th this month, even though they said we could stay until the end of next month.
Their reason is because when they moved us into the new building a year ago, they put us in section-8 housing which we don't qualify for and filled out the wrong paperwork, and if the government found out they'd be in deep shit.
They offered us another apartment, but we'd have to pay a minimum $70 more a month. Not including pet rent.
We wanted a 2 bedroom. Since we need a lease for 7 months a one bedroom would be $750/mo and a two bed/one bath would be $935/month!!!

OK so luckily I remembered I got a phone call earlier this morning from someone at the Arvada Green apartments that I sent a message to last month. We went straight down there and got ourselves a two bed/one bath for $770 including pets!
The complex is smaller, and the units look really nice inside.

Castlegate, go screw yourself.

^_^

So as a college student's life goes, I'm moving yet again. Counting this one that makes 5 moves since I left for school 2 1/2 years ago. At least only one of those was for reasons I hate to admit even happened. But the reason we're moving this time is because, well, we're getting kicked out...evicted or whatever. Turns out one of our neighbors has something against us...or maybe everyone hell I don't know. I'm positive it's the old lady that lives down below us though.

So here's the thing. She's called the cops on us and sent in complaints that there was a dog running around our apartment at 4 in the morning. LOL a dog? Ok, so Kyle had the flu for like a week and a half - he was up at 4 in the morning sick as hell. If the dog was running around at 4 in the morning...well, we wouldn't let that happen and if it did it'd stop real quick. And I guess the cops came while I wasn't home and said there was a complaint about abuse? What? Kyle was the only one there and he was sleeping! LOL what the fuck crazy lady. On top of that she told management that we had three pets - two cats and one dog. Okay, I'd like to know how one extra cat was seriously bothering her.

So, we're searching out apartments now. It's hard to find affordable places that allow pets that are also big enough. It's possible we might be able to find a town house with the help of Kyle's mom. I'd love to have a town house! =3 It'd be nice to not have neighbors right on the other side of all walls and the floor. OH and the best part  TO LIVE ON THE FIRST FLOOR OMG that would be amazing

Woo! It's good to be back in Denver again, but I have to say that the trip to Montana was fun!

I left Denver to Missoula on the 3rd and came back on the 12th. I was constantly running around seeing everyone on my list lol. For most people it was the first I've seen them in over a year, except for my dad who came down do Denver during the fall. I wish I could visit more often, but school makes it nearly impossible to leave for any given amount of days, even during 'break'.

Friends
I spent a lot of time with Jessica [heart], and we went hot tubbing, watched Shrek 3, hung out and her mom highlighted my hair for me. Man it was nice to hang out with a girlfriend!
I also saw Heather again - I missed her so much! It's been at least 3 years since I saw her last, and we talked for at least 4 hours and I got to see some of her drawings she hadn't posted on DA. Damn she had alot!

Family
I went to see The Waterhorse with my sister - very cute. We also ate at The Mustard Seed. I love that place so much!!
I went shopping for pants with my mom and sis. Okay guys, keep in mind it's nearly impossible for me to find pants that fit. For example, at Vanity I tried on over 15 pairs of pants, one pair fit. At Old Navy I tried on 10 more, and one of them fit okay. I was told by Old Navy and several other stores that if I want pants long enough for me I have to shop online! Screw. I know I'm not the only damn girl with a 35 inch in-seem who DOESN"T have a ghetto booty! Sigh. Well I did manage to find 4 pairs that fit. One pair of jeans, 2 dress pants and 1 large-legged pair. Eh, I need variety anyway.

What I brought home
Ho ho! It's not often I get things without having to pay for them [and without steeling them of course!]. Now I can play Guitar Hero 3 at home with Kyle! New pants [the most important gifts!] and movies!
I did go shopping too. There were some great sales there, and it's even better without tax! I found an amazing laptop case with lots of pockets that fits my tablet perfectly, along with some snazzy dress/club shirts.

Back to life
Well school actually started on Friday, even though I didn't get back until Saturday but I don't care. Kyle has the same classes I do, and I found out we were given homework >_>  Shouldn't be a problem though.
I'm glad my boss didn't schedule me at work for Sunday and Monday, although my paycheck is gonna be like a whole 50 bucks maybe. Ugh.
It's nice seeing Kyle and my kitties again ^_^

Another year gone tomorrow night. I can't say that this year has been extremely eventful, but it has been a pretty good one.

Pets
Kyle brought me to the cat rescue shelter to find a young girl cat. Instead, we leave with two boys XD One of them is sitting in my lap right now watching me type and trying to lay over the keyboard.

Art Progress
I met with the Art Director of the game 'Crimson Skies' to look over my portfolio. He liked my art, and it gave me great confidence to continue building my art skills.

Travel
Me and Kyle went to Detroit to see his dad and step mom. I saw one of the Great Lakes for the first time and we walked on the beach. That was pretty fun except I was extremely sunburned on my lower back and the back of my right arm. You know how when you go to the airport and you have to walk through the booth that blows air on you? That sucks when you're sunburned. I still have a tan line across my lower back from it.

Things I got:
My 4 gig Sansa MP3 player.
My beastly computer!
I went shopping on Black Friday and got everything I wanted.
For x-mas Kyle gave me a beautiful sapphire and diamond necklace and I gave him a leather jacket. <3

New Job!
Big one! Near the beginning of the year, around April I left Wendy's and got hired onto Game Crazy. I was offered assistant manager position but turned it down for school. I only get paid $7.25 but I get commission too, which is anywhere between 40 and 60 extra dollars a month. Beats the hell out of any resturant job if you ask me!

Birthday
My 21st birthday was this year. Lots of fun at the water park! The party that night was fun too, although I passed out at like 1 a.m. coz I was sooo tired from Waterworld.

I went to a couple parties, met some new friends, and generally became a lot more social than I was last year lol.

Next year will bring.....
Graduation in October! I don't know what else will happen. Kyle graduates in May so there will be some stress about that prolly. Also, gotta get a portfolio together. So little time!


Well, see you next year!!

-Katie

Hey look I'm writing something ^^  Is it constructive? Probably not. But I do many things that arent' anyways.


Work
Yesterday was a crazy day at work. The good'ole game store, that crazy place most people don't want to be around the holidays. Yesterday it was me and my boss working. Around, say 12:30 the FedEx truck pulls up to our front door (it's a small game shop in case of the actual size. FedEx delivers our items). I'm helping out customers while my boss helps the FedEx dude unload the 30 some boxes and stack them in our allready cramped office space. 

So after a crapload of crazy transferring mania (we had to ship out half of the boxes to other Game Crazy's) we finally get a chance to help the customers in the store. Our store, of course, was doing the "Wii wait /pay ahead of time list " so customers were coming in to pay in advance for Wii's. I was having fun with it...as much as you could call that fun.

 I would 'set up' the pay in advance stuff and act as if they were expected to come back soon. I'd tell them they would get their Wii before the end of the week. Other customers were in line so we were being descrete about the sales at first. I'd go into the back for the 'bag' (for their accessories) and put the Wii in there. After the transaction was finished I handed the first lady a note saying "pretend you didn't get this" and handed her the bag telling her we'd call her. I did the same thing to another guy but instead of the note after he asked "So you'll just call me when it comes in?"  I would say "actually, no. We won't be calling you" and hand him the bag. First a look of horror would cross his face, then slight anger, then they would see the Wii and turn into little kids all giddy and happy, practically telling us how much they worship our store. Fun stuff.

I'll be glad when the holiday shopping season is overrrrr. Stupid Wii's. There was actually a guy who called at work and I answered the phone and he's all "do you have any fucking Wii's?" Yeah. We didn't have any. For him anyways. Those 15 sitting in the back? Nope. Not for him. Stupid ass.

Home
Hey look I'm using headers! This gives +3 in orginization.
I don't have too much to say really. I joined that Gaia Online community. I don't do alot with it yet. Pretty much just log on to do the free cart thing and maybe get enough gold to buy something cooool. I was playing around with my characters clothes a bit, and it was wierd when I changed her pose her pants would like disappear. Apparently she wears light greay undies. I wander if you can buy those....

ANYway, let's see... I get to spend x-mas with Kyle this year! Wow, that means we've been together almost 2 years now! The 2 year mark is on January 26th. I didn't get to spend x-mas with him last year, it's going to be wonderful!  ^_^
And then from Jan 3rd through Jan 12th I'll be in my hometown Missoula seeing friends and family for x-mas. It'll be so nice to see everyone again. I saw my dad a few months ago, but the rest of my family I haven't seen since last x-mas. I have to admit though, it's nice to get away for a while.

Oh look I went and wrote way more than anyone in their right mind would be willing to read. I'm so boring lol. XD

Well, peace!

Yay update! Exciting. For me.

Hey so the end of the school term is December 20th - now, that's exciting! Especially since my classes next term are going to amazing. First class is "Character Animation" with Sean and second class is "Color Theory" with Brenden - two of my favorite teachers! And color theory is just plain awesome by itself. I'll probably take that again after I graduate, along with life drawing....and maybe character design.

So, ever had it where it felt like everthing was working against you to make sure you didn't have money when you needed it - and were supposed to get it? Let me explain. Last month....wait over a month ago I brought in an expired check to Wendy's and they said it would take like 2 weeks to get it re-issued. Okay, so I'm still waiting, and they still have nothing to tell me. Waiting on that $200 still. Then today I go into finacial aid at school to do a check-request from my loans for like $600 to pay off my friend Adrien who sold me his computer (yes, it's a beast!) so I sit down and am told that I actually owe like $2,000. What!? The lady tells me that when I applied for my loan they put $1,100 when it was supposed to be $8,100 to cover tuition and have extra. Here goes the loan application ALL OVER AGAIN. It took 3 weeks to get the last one through and now this. Bastards.

I finished something =3    -->http://thepariah-kitty.deviantart.com/art/Reimusha-Commission-71509579
And did another pic of Jesaki  -->http://thepariah-kitty.deviantart.com/art/Jesaki-sketch-01-71430288

Right now, yes, a little annoyed. Not alot, but a little.
I have a really cool idea involving "Magic:The Gathering" and my art and no way to do them, for my photoshop is still in stitches with the 'scratch disc' being full and all. What the heck is that anyways? I think it's a photoshop thing. Of course google didn't help me whenever I clicked on a link which might hold some valuble information to my problem, I was constantly 'redirected' and 'jumped' to other websites. NOT helpful. 

And I even left school early today thinking photoshop was going to work for me >_> I started working on a commission and 15 minutes later. FAIL. Good news? I get my new computer this weekend =D I can't wait to ditch this one!

Also, I was suppose to get a check from the school today since I applied for extra $$ through my loans. Damn them.

So, how about that Town Hall Meeting at school today? For those of you who don't go to school with me, it was interesting. Everyone was told pretty much that if you couldn't lock up all your games and do nothing but art, 3D modeling and animation until you graduate, you're pretty much in the wrong degree.  I actually aggreed. You can't learn anything from just playing games, especially how to get a job. Oh well, I don't even plan on working in the game industry! I want something a little more strictly 2D.

And then there's MySpace. I wander how I could get that site offline? Send them a huge virus or something. Muahahah! Eh, I'm not anywhere near that computer savvy. I'll stick to my art sites. I suppose I'm frustrated that last night I took the time to try and entertain some people with a survey that wasn't completly retarded and was mine. So I typed the whole thing out, my questions to see what my friends would answer. Jessica and Hunter filled it out (love you guys) but there was one other person who reposted it, took my name off and didn't even fill out the questions. At least fill out the questions! How rude.

Spfft. I want my photoshop back. I think I'm having withdrawls.

Woo, I'm back from shopping! It wasn't that bad really. I was planning on getting a new external hard drive, but decided against it in the end. When getting up this morning (around 5:30) I was going for one thing -  a leather jacket for Kyle. I knew he had been wanting one, and he only mentioned it once but I remembered. ^_^

So I went to Kohls. They had so much! I found a bunch of leather jackets and couldn't decide on one so I ended up calling Kyle and having him pick it out lol. I know that might be kinda corny but I wanted it to be just the right one, plus I didn't want to get the wro size. So we found one, and it was normally $295 but I got it for $70!! OMG what an awesome deal. While we were their Kyle had me pick out a really nice necklce too. It's a circle pendant (the middle is open) with blue sapphires around the left side going from small to large. It looks like a moon it's really pretty! And sinse we went through the jewlery department we got out of the store like 30 sooner that we would if we stood in line at a normal register

After Kohls we went to Circuit City to look at cameras. They didn't have any cameras on sale that I was interested in. (I want one with a reelly nice zoom lens - most cost over $800 ouch!) Well when we were there we picked up a couple 2 GB flash drives for $7 each and Guitar Hero 2 for $60. Very nice!

Kyle's back was really sore so he went home while I went to Target for my last things. I picked up seasons 3 and 4 of Family Guy for $15 each and some much needed long sleeved shirts.

All in all I got everything I went out to get! It was a good day, and I never thought I could get up so early, but I'm glad I did!
I'll probably take a nap before work, but today we're going to cook the turkey since we didn't yesterday because I had to work. I have to work today but not 'till five. It's going to be chaos! Ugh. At least I get paid extra.

So it snowed today. I think the snow has held off for a good while longer than it usually does, so I guess I wasn't too surprised when I woke up to see it this morning. It wasn't as cold I was expecting either, which was really nice.

After I got to my first class totally unprepared to take the mid-term test, I fount out that the teacher wasn't going to be there. What awesome luck! =D I would have totally failed that one. Also I want to relax as much as possible before this weekend, meaning Thanksgiving weekend! D8 I'll be working Thursday Friday Saturday and Sunday. Ew. Friday's gonna suck really bad. I plan on doing some shopping myself, but still. I'd rather not be at work, especially at a game store! *runs*

Oh! So Adrien said that I might be able to buy his computer earlier than expected! His parents are going to get him a laptop, so all I have to wait for is the laptop to be delivered and for him to transfer his data. I'm so excited that I'll finally be able to have my own computer!
But, what's gonna be tough is figuring out how to get my plane ticket and the computer. The ticket to Missoula and back is gonna cost me $450 with tax at the least! I'm hoping my Grandma will help me out with the ticket so I have enough for the computer after all is said and done. My savings is going to be pretty much cleared out by the end of December >_>

When January gets here, I think that everything will finally be settled down. I mean, when is Christmas time never crazy? Besides, I hope that starting January I'll be taking on more commissions and doing much more artwork.

I hate mid-terms.  -_-;

So me and Kyle have been hooked on the show Heroes. Ok, call us a bit late on the whole Heroes series, but at least we're catching up heh. So far we've watched season one through episode 15. We need to rent discs 6 and 7 but I think that someone stole them out of Hollywood Video (the one I rent from) coz I haven't seen them yet.

Also, I'm totally in love with the song "Through the Fire and Flames" by Dragonforce. Amazing! It's all because of that darned Guitar Hero 3! I'm gonna end up buying that game, I just know it >_>

 

Orginization!
I've decided recently that a palm-pilot could really come in handy right about now.  Between school (loans and class work), work, art, bills and other random things I just can't keep it all striaght! For example I just seriously remembered that my phone bill was due 2 days ago. Not good!

Food!
So tonight I decided to make crab-stuffed mushrooms! Didn't turn out so well - I think the recipe was a bit off and It said to add more bread crumbs than needed, so the mushrooms were a bit dry. Which is unfortunate coz the ones you get in the resturaunt are so darned good! Mmmmm. 

Costumes!
I'm still trying to finish those costume wings for Halloween. I think it's do-able. I kinda already messed one up by getting hot glue on one of the wings (it dripped). Buuut, if they turn out somewhat half-way decent, I might remake them. And for some reason I have two different shades of black felt. Two different batches I guess, but you can tell if you look close. >_>

School!
So, one of my teachers might get me a phone interview / conversation with Nolan Bushnell - the founder of Atari! 8D
I'm so nervous  E=3

Attempting the perilous re-write of my lost journal.

I'm sitting in my first class at school right now - Sequential Art, or storyboarding. Well, the class is over since we just went through what we're doing all term. It should be interesting, sounds like we're making a script, then storyboarding it out, and making a short animation of it. Fun stuff.

Me and Kyle and planning on going to "Garden of the Gods" down in CO springs next Saturday. We originally planned to go during the break last week, but it rained. =(

For Halloween I'm making wings. They're made of felt and I cut out all the individual feathers and hot-glued the whole thing together. I still need to run a wire through it and make in inside-feathers. When I'm finished I'll be sure to post a pic here and on my DA page.

Over the break, we also went out and bought a huge roast. It was pure awesome, since we don't get 'real' meat very often. Well, raw meat anyways, not like hot dogs and lunch meat. The roast was like 10 pounds so we had to cut it in half. We made half of it into a stew, and the other half we simmered in spicy BBQ- mmmmm! It was mighty tasty.

Last night I was hoping to go to bed early and get lots of rest for the first day of school. Of course, it wasn't going to happen that way. Last night at work I had to close the store, so I figured I'd just hurry and probably get out by 9:30. But, literally 6 minutes before we closed, some guy came in and was all, "Hey I'm the guy that called and asked you to set aside that refurbished XBox 360."  So, he needs games for it...then he needs power packs...then he needs controllers. And of course he is utterly and completely indecisive about everything. And so, I finally got him rung up and out of the store like 25 min after we closed. I probably got out of there around 10:00 and home at 10:20. But, I had to eat and what-not, so I really didn't get to bed until around 11:30.
But then, at around 5:30 this morning Kyle's dog got sick and liquid-poopied all over the carpet in the bedroom. I woke up gagging and waiting on the other side of the apartment while he cleaned it. We probably fell asleep again around 5:45. The alarm went off 15 minutes later. Damn.

And, I'm off to search for food. =3

-PK

 I wrote a journal and it's gone now. SCREW.

Whatever. I'm not doing it over.

The End.

Hai.

So, what's been going on? I'm so glad the end of the term is tomorrow! And, it really helps that our final project for Texture Mapping isn't due until 1:00, so there's still time to work on that. Phew!

I'm looking forward to the break like no other. Finally! Some time to relax and do some art that I've been meaning to do for the last month - especially those commissions >_> I really suck at time management sometimes. Er, I think one of my classes next term is Project Management lol, maybe I need it!

My other two classes are.....Sequential Art (Soryboarding) and Critical Thinking. Ack! Well, if not for the Gen-Eds I'm really looking forward to Sequential Art! Haha, considering I should have had that class a loong time ago, I don't think I'll recognize most of the students in there. Oh well.

So, I went to Wal-Mart the other day to get kittie litter, and I drove by one of the old Albertsons that closed down. It's a giant Halloween store now! I'm so going there on Tuesday with Kyle and it's gonna be awesome. I don't know when we're going, but it looks really cool.

I want to dress up for Halloween this year. I kinda want to make my own wings. I hate the ones at Hot Topic, and those they make with regular costumes suck just as bad. I swear they have no knowledge of wing antaomy what-so-ever. And they glue the feathers on all wrong, blah. So, I think I'm gonna get creative and make some wings.

Harr harr!

Well I'm still sick yay. That's going on 9 days now. I went to the grocery store for some cold medines but I didn't have enough money with me and I forgot my debit card, so I ended up just getting cough drops, some vitamin water and a salad for dinner.

It's crunch time in the final two weeks of the school term. Things are coming along okay I think, at least. No need to flip out quite yet lol. I started to texture this Roman Archer dude for my game design class, finally. I gotta say tho, the model is terrable, which makes it unbelievably hard to texture decently. It's a good way to test my texturing skills at least haha.

Let's see... my game/map/level is coming along nicely in Texture class - after it crashed repeatedly for 5 hours straight that is! Ugh! I really hate 3D Studio Max sometimes. Today, I finally got it to work - just in time to have a whole 3 days to texture the beast before it's due! And, I have to say I'm not the sharpest of texture-ers. Hopefully it will all go smoothly from here on out. I'm really counting on this final project to bring my grade up in that class.

What else have I been doing? Lol, not much I think. I still have no art to show you, no events went down...um. I rented that movie Knocked Up, even tho I saw it in theaters. OH! Yeah, Kyle bought our friends XBox 360! Yay! It's exciting, somewhat. I can't really afford games atm, but at work we can put deposits on games, and when we have enough we can pick it up when the game comes in.

Um, feel free to entertain me hehehe. I'm sick, which means I can't go out and do alot of things, but at least I can sit here and talk to people online. I might try to do some art....our friend is over right now and him and Kyle are playing Halo 3 online, so I'm pretty much just here. I don't know how many people actually read this, but, eh. It's a journal. I'm occupied, that's all that really matters.

So I started getting sick, like Wednesday night. It wasn't very obvious and so I thought it was just one of those coughs I get from time to time. Wrong. Wednesday night my throat got that tingle, and Thursday morning I woke up with a sore throat and a raspy voice. Ew. I had to get up early and open at work too, which sucked. Luckily I was able to leave early. I was also planning on going to school today (It's Friday), but this morning was even worse. Fever, coughing, sore throat.....the whole sick works. I have like no energy, I can't even sit at the computer for long enough to do much of anything, not even get started on commissions. Damn.

Last night I went to bed at 8:00 p.m. and got up this morning at 7:30 a.m. I think tonight will be something of the same. After writing this I'm going to go to bed, maybe read a chapter or two out of the book I'm reading and pass out until 7:30 tomorrow morning. Then it's off to work again, yay.  

Aw, I'm looking at my flowers I have sitting next to my comp table that Kyle got me and they're all wilty. )8 And what's super wierd is that there's this...white fluffy moldy stuff on the stems. And some of the flowers were blue and orange and all the die like ran out of them and colored the water in the vase. Some of the flowers are still blue with a couple pure white petals, it's kinda cool.

Ick. My nose is all dry feeling inside and I can smell cigarette smoke. I hate cigarette smoke it's so nasty and it makes everything smell all funky. It hurts my face and I don't even do it lol. It's coz I live on the 3rd floor and like everything everyone cooks, or smokes or does or whatever comes straight up here and it all mixes together into this gross mash of odd and annoying smells. Plus the people across the hall always use like a whole bottle of curry in everything they make.

Wow that was random.
