I suppose I should update

2008-05-29T03:50:45Z

Well Fanime was a blast. I got to see friends and picked up lots of cool stuff. That's the good news.

The bad news is that my Grandma was hospitalized and though she seems to be stablizing it looks like she is going to be in a recovery center for awhile. From there she may come back home for a bit or we may move her straight to a care-home. It's all a bit up in the air. I'm worried about her but it's honestly really nice to have a chance to get things back together around here. It's been fairly hectic lately and been hard to get things done with her around.

On a lighter note I saw Elliot today. Got the money he owed me from con and had lunch at a nice Korean BBQ place while discussing various ideas.

My LJ account lives!

So my family has been utterly unreasonable lately and have been making it impossible to take care of my grandma properly. I'm tired of constantly being yelled at for no sane reason and thus am looking to move out. So if anyone happens to know anybody looking to move or looking for a roommate, please do let me know.

School has been going decently though it's been hard to find to time to keep up with the work. Not sure I'll do that well this semester but at least I'm getting back into things. I really wish our school had a different C++ teacher though, I find the one we have almost impossible to learn from.

Happy Halloween!

At Anna's

2006-07-04T03:24:41Z

So I am at Anna's after delays due to sickness. It's been a busy couple weeks with workcamp and school and my grandma and getting sick but now I have my stuff here and tomorrow is a holiday so maybe I can finally relax a little. Anna and I are going to watch Dr. Who in a little bit so that should be fun.

Workcamp Report

2006-06-17T02:25:47Z

It's time I dusted off this LJ of mine. So I am workcamp right now which apparently has internet now which is nice. I thought I would post here and let everyone know I am doing okay and still plan to be back on Sunday in the late afternoon/early evening.

It's nice up here, mostly things are the same. There are a lot of chickens this year but only one cat and no dogs. The garden is doing nicely and I havested and planted lettuce this morning. Food is good. I am getting to see people I haven't seen in awhile. I feel like I have a lot to do at home but knowing I will be back soon enough, I don't feel so stressed. I may join the soccer game in progress now or I may just chill and play tomorrow instead. Anyway, see you all soon, byebye.

I took this test because it looked interesting and I liked the art. I definettely getting more deliberate in my fashion sense than I thought.

Fashion Artist
33% Tastefulness, 77% Originality, 69% Deliberateness, 45% Sexiness

[Flamboyant Original Deliberate Prissy]

To you fashion is not what they think up in Paris or New York. You
follow only your instincts and taste and, admit it, they are far from
conventional. Clothes are one of the methods of expressing your
personality and being interesting is even more important than being
attractive. You pay attention to compose such outfits that would
express you best. You tend to shock and though many appreciate your
style and originality not many follow in your footsteps. Perhaps your
flamboyant outfits are partly meant to hide some of your insecurity but
be that as it may, few pass you on the street without looking back.
Good job.

The opposite style from yours is Sporty Hottie [Tasteful Conventional Random Sexy].

I am tired and busy but okay. I have a job and will probably be dropping a class becaues of it. On the other hand I have a job and am still getting some time for school.

My house is still a mess and so are my finaces but it should get worked out soon enough.

You scored as Anarcho-Communist. Anarcho-communists seek to build a society based upon a decentralised federation of autonomous communes and a moneyless 'gift economy'. The movement first emerged in the late 19th century and has had a large influence particularly in Spain, Italy and Russia. Key thikers include Peter Kropotkin and Errico Malatesta.

Summer school is over

2005-08-02T04:55:23Z

Okay so it was over on Thursday, Wedsnday really since when I got class on Thursday it was cancelled that last day. But then I was writing until the end of Thursday so I guess that was when it ended. In any case I got my work in and got an A so I am happy.

Now I get to worry about housing and jobs and next semester... Okay I need to relax a little too. If I can get housing and job squared away I will be set, presummuing I can manage my stress okay this next semester. Doing well in a not so demanding Philosophy class was nice after nearly falling apart during last Spring semester.

Oh and my birthday is tomorrow. I really need to be better about announcing these things.

It's an Update!

2005-07-16T18:21:57Z

Okay so I admit I am generally bad about updates. Trying to be better but we'll see how it goes...

I have school off next week because we need to stop talking and start writing, so we get 4 writing assignments and no class. Since writing isn't so hard this should give me a little time to relax. I wish Anna could have a week off schoool. Poor girl, she's been so stressed and I just don't know what to do about it. She acquired Robo Rally however and we got to play on Friday (just as well since I totally botched my attempt to run Changeling) and it was a blast. I am so glad they rereleased that game.

On Thursday I went clothes shopping with Li-chi. I had a lot of fun and got some neat things. I only found one skirt I liked that fit but then the amount of things that did fit in general was reassuring.

I need to start putting more effort into a job and housing searches, hopefully I can take advantage of next week being off to do so.

Progress on DSW is slow but steady, every playtest prompts a flood of revisions and while the game is now pretty much playable I wish it wasn't nessicary to revise the card text after every couple games. I put out the last revision awhile ago and was hoping it would last but I am already almost done with the next one. I plan to intentinally delay it a little so that we can get a couple more games in and use that data in the revision. This gives us longer to work with the current rules and hopefully means this next batch will last longer.

School

2005-06-24T04:28:12Z

I survived my first week of philosophy and got all my work done. It was actually a lot of fun. I found a logical counter to Xeno's first paradox. Parameindes and Xeno had some weird ideas. Unfortunettely my fincial aid is gonna take forever and I didn't get to see Anna or Li-chi really this week. I will get to them tomorrow atleast. I like school and might even be able to handle a job if I can find one that works with my schdule. I can probably find work in an afterschol program come Fall in nothing else which will allow me to support myself when my mom moves out of state soon.

So it was a good weeked, busy but fulfilled and I am looking foward to the weekend.

Anna took me to dinner with Lois McMaster Bujold and her fan club last night before the book signing. I managed to not be too intimidated and we went to a great Thai place. It was a lot of fun getting to meet the author and Anna's online friends. After the booksigning we hung out and some people had crepes (I was still full from dinner). We got back late but it was lots of fun.

School... and other stuff

2005-06-10T16:25:17Z

So I really gotta be more organized about school, I am still recovering from last semester and not really ready for summer school though. I have another week atleast. Then again it's not my fault my mom is taking over a week to get me her f-ing finicial information. Still I went to sign up for classes yesterday and the councilor wrong about them offering Precalc. It's Precalc with Analytical Geometry which has different prereqs and is 5 units, unfortunettley she was right about it being full, so are all 5 statistics courses for the summer. So what do I get... Introduction to Philosophy, not bad really, something I want to take and fulfills requirements but I feel like everyone is expecting me to take math. It's also only 3 units so I have to resumbit some fincial aid stuff I had turned in and will get less fincial aid. No, they are no offering cake decorating or any other 1 unit classes I want to take over the summer. So after all this I am going to try and get signing up for fall taken care so I know what I am taking and get in before it fills up. I just never expected anything to actually be full because it hadn't happened to me before but there is so little offered over summer I guess it's to be expected.

Still 3 units will be relaxing and I can recover from last semester and maybe seriously look into a job. I like school but last semester almost made me want to drop out, or alteast made me feel I wasn't competant enough to be in school. I hope to just keep going though and get through school eventually.

I do need a job so I can afford rent so I can find a place to live, hopefully with friends. Speaking of which if anyone is interested or knows anyone who is let me know. Living closer to school and with friends would be nice though I am still really nervous about trying to balance school with a job.

Back in Town

2005-06-01T17:17:15Z

Con was great. I had a lot of fun and it was nice to get to see Li-chi so much. Heck, it was nice to be surronded by freaks for 4 days.

Highlights:

I got 2nd place in a button men tournament after learning the game that day. I got Soul Calibur II which I have been wanting for ages, it's for Gamecube not X-box though so I have to trade it in. I also got some cool buttons.

The gaming room was fun, Zombies with all the expansions was a lot of fun but next time I want to start earlier than 2:00 in the morning. We played GMR and Lunch Money as well. Munchkin Bites unfortunettely lives up to it's name, the vampire rules drag out the game forever.

Got to see some of Ghost in the Shell: Standalone complex and Rozen Maiden. The first one I have been itching to see and the second was just really cool though I hadn't heard of it before. Also saw ReDeath at last.

Got to see the pilot of Firefly in our rooms and then some of Fruits Basket. Both shows are awesome, though for completely different reasons.

Got to play Soul Calibur and other fighting games and also this really cute Japanesse drumming game.

Overall it just really nice hanging out with people and playing games and seeing anime. I am totally coming back next year.

Now I need to get around to cleaning my room and taking care of school, housing, and job (or atleast cash flow). Not a big deal, eager to move on and make up for last semester which really sucked.

You Are The Outlaw
"Sure, I'll do it. My way."
Just because you do not conform to the same laws and rules as everyone else does not mean that you are a bad guy. You travel your own path, separate from those around you, with your own reasons for doing what you do. Because of this and your own nature, it goes without saying that you are generally misunderstood. That does not matter much, though, as people love you for being who you are. You are pretty well set in your ways and have no real intention of changing. This can come across as a flicker of arrogance if your not careful. You do what is right for you, and God help anyone who stands in your way.

I'm back!

2005-05-25T06:22:10Z

My computer is working, my average mood is better and I have more time so I am going to get back to updating this regularly.

Looking forward to Fanime these weekend. It's gonna be a blast, doing some packing now. I had a pretty emotional day but I am feeling quite good now. I should go to sleep soon so I am rested for the con.

I need help

2005-05-15T04:14:28Z

For those of you not already aware, my motherboard failed and I was worried it took my HD with it. Thankfully only the boot sector was lost but I still kinda need a working OS. Compaq's "Recovery" disk not only wants to reformat everything but will not work now that my original Compaq motherboard is dead. So, I have an XP serial # and own a copy of it legitly and yet I can't even use it. If any of you have a spare Windows XP CD and could get it to me (Hoping one of the Sunday gaming group can bring it tomorrow) it would be much appreciated. I should get it back to you within and week.

Feeling better

2005-03-22T05:22:39Z

I've been pretty depressed and stressed lately but spring break has begun. Now I have time to catch up on stuff, see people and just relax. I had dinner with LiChi today which was a lot of fun. Also my finacial aid money arived today which makes me less stressed. All in all things are looking pretty good at the moment.

Day off!

2005-03-02T18:07:32Z

It's a teacher workday at Vista and I get the day off. Gonna hang out and relax and maybe do some house and home work then go see Elliot for bit in the afternoon. Already caught up on my sleep this morning. Today is looking good.

Update take 2

2005-02-25T20:18:42Z

*kicks LJ*

If this thing is gonna not let me post it can atleast not wipe what I wrote. Bad design I say! Bad!

Okay so I have my schoolwork mostly under control, I made it to my chem lab more or less on time and I got my room clean. So I've been busy but now it's the weekend and I can see people and relax and such. My original post was probably longer but I hate retyping things.

Life sucks

2005-02-20T03:01:13Z

I don't even know what to say. I am just so damn tired of this world and this life and everything. I live in a world full of societies I abhor. My mom and I just got into an argument somehow after I tried to take her side and now she hates me. I can never be as much of a martyr as she is, she just lives to suffer and complain about it to anyone who suffers less and I will always suffer less because I couldn't stand the shit she claims she's gone thourgh, I'd just die first. So I will never be as good as her and she will rub it in the rest of my life.

School takes so much time and money. I don't know what I will do if I have to move out of my mom's place. There's no way I can go to school while working if I want to finish school this decade and fincial aid won't cut it. I could take out a student loan but then I'll be in debt for the rest of my life... and what exactly is the point of my life? What the hell I am going to do out of school? I mean there's the game company me and my friends are trying to start but it's just a dream at this point. Science? Programming? Sure, I guess but somehow it doesn't seem worth the trouble.

I am so sick of these god damn statists and authoritarians! I am anarchist and proud! Do you hear me?! Your governments are immoral and unjustifiable! You are the ones who are wrong! You have no right to say how people can and cannot live while living off their work! I may represent the minority but being the majority doesn't make you right. It just means it's easier to accept what you're told than to stand up and fight. I don't know if I have the energy to fight any more but I won't accept your lies.

Anna is so busy these days and it was nice to get to see her on Friday but it was the first time I really felt like I got to be with her as my girlfriend in weeks. I just want to be able to have a happy functional relationship and it just seems like she doesn't have time for that anymore. I don't want to break up with her but I really can't deal with this much longer.

I know I am all over the place and despite what my mood might say I am as angry as I am sad. I don't even know, I just had to rant and here I can rant to nobody and everybody without having people shoot me down. I hate being human, I hate being male, I hate being on this planet. I am not ready to give in just yet but gods' damn it all and I just have to yell out "This is not right and I don't deserve this!" Someday I will have my revenge on reality, I swear it. I will squeeze this pathetic universe into something worth living in by sheer force of will if I have to because the world can't treat me this way and get away with it!

Four day weekend!

2005-02-18T17:38:40Z

No school til Tuesday! Plenty of time to relax! Almost too relaxed. I decided to sleep in and woke up about fifteen minutes ago and looked at my watch, it said 13:47 and I was starting to panic since I didn't mean to sleep that late. After I few moments I figured out that the stopwatch function was playing tricks on me and it was only 9:25. *phew*

anarchcassius @ 2005-02-16T20:48:00

2005-02-17T04:51:38Z

Life is busy and I really wish I got to see Anna more. Her parents are always planing stuff in the time I get so see her and it's starting to really get to me.

School is hectic and a lot to do but it's fun and I am really enjoying my classes even if I wish they assigned less work. I went by finicial aid and now I am no longer going nuts about what I will do for money the rest of the semester. There is another check arriving soon and I will be able to take more money out of my Americorps award this semester. I don't like using it up since I will want it when I transfer but I have a lot left and I do need the money since I can't really work at the moment and school is spensive.

So I am busy and a little stressed but everything is under control. I even find time to play World of Warcraft and such...
