What a Trip

So I decided to go ahead and let one of my friends try typing part of today's entry. I, uh... don't know what I was thinking. Maybe I took a little too much wine. Damn my Asian genes and their inability to handle the alcohol. LAAAAME.

Non Sequitur 9: OONTZ

What a happy balloon!

Time to put a smile on your face! At least, I think that's a smile on your face...

Silly Books of Silliness

It's been a while since I've done any role-playing on World of Warcraft. I kind of miss it - it was fun (especially when a lot of my friends were on), and we had happy drama fun time together. The more vigilant of you probably have put two and two together and come up with a slightly-shocking conclusion just by reading the previous "I role-play on WoW" sentence above. Those of who who haven't: here's why they're shocked - out of the three characters I've named on this blog so far, which one's on the role-playing server? Chariselle. Yeah; I do role-play a girl. I don't do that erotic stuff (which is probably a good thing, really), but I do other things, such as pick fights she'll lose (matches my stubborn streak) and surprise people with her lazy intellect (much like my brilliant laziness... if I could be called "brilliant"). Maybe I have issues; maybe I don't - but that isn't the subject at hand.

Anyway, to help me out whenever I'm on Chari and an RP session goes on near her residence, she will probably be seen either reading a book (assuming someone didn't decide to pick a fight) or loaning one to a friend. Since most of the time I do my role-play with mass amounts of dramedy, it can be assumed that I'll make sure a joke is cracked somewhere - be it with the cycloptic sin'dorei's sarcasm or her ridiculous library.

Speaking of the latter: this is a list of some of the many, many books I've invented for numerous role-playing sessions. While some of these actually exist in-game, the majority do not - but that doesn't stop RPers from getting a quick laugh and enjoying my silly list of ideas. (DISCLAIMER: Obviously, the whole "roleplaying in World of Warcraft" thing isn't my idea, but I do take non-profit credit for the books that I made up.)

New Film Reel

The more loyal fans will probably have noted that most of my entries have been posted rather late. Most times, that's due to me procrastinating on it and not working on typing anything up until the very last minute, panicking with each keystroke I make. Now, while it could be said that today's entry being late was due to this, I do have my reasons - and for once, they're actually legit (as opposed to the many other times they're not...?)

If I ever get the money and time, I'm switching to Sony Vegas.
For now, Windows Movie Maker will have to do...

I've suddenly been inspired to make a video blog entry. (SAY WHAT!?)

An Old List

Because I can't think of anything better to place on here (and because I thought I could come up with something to write the moment I got home tonight... look how well that went), I decided to look through my computer in search of something silly. Lo and behold: I found this old list (dated to 2007) of silly Murphy's laws that involve (online) gaming somehow. Hehehe...

Now, not all of this is mine - some of this is classic "Murphy's Laws of the Military," but that doesn't stop it from applying to video games (especially shooters). I touched bases with a decent amount of genres (from what I'm reading, at least), so there should be something to amuse the gamer in you. Enjoy...?

Waking Philosophy

So yesterday I went on about how I had been up since Thursday at 0900ish because of a situation. Well, guess what I did after posting that? I kept working on it until I realized it was futile of me to carry on. So rather than get the rest I needed oh-so-much, I went to work.

It was weird - for the first hour or so, I was feeling faint and ready to pass out, vomit, have my insides explode, and have my eyes gouge themselves out... all at the same time. As time progressed, however, my body re-adapted and was able to filter everything except "tired eyes" off my fatigue list. Indeed - almost nobody could tell that I was suffering from sleep deprivation.

After that long and tiring session, I got home at roughly 0015 and immediately knocked myself out on the bed. Thank goodness - 38 hours really is hard to go through. I'm thankful it wasn't 40 - otherwise I get reaaaaaaaly loopy.

I woke up at 1330 and realized that I had roughly 2.5 hours before work. Combine the post-waking fatigue with the demand that I have to post 1,000 words on each of my entries this month, and you get a slight dilemma: what the hell do I type?

Sleepless Rant

You ever wonder what happens when you decide that other things are more important than important things... like, sleep? Well, I had a bout of this last night (I still have yet to fall asleep), and this is what happens when you decide to give a writer a bit of a break and said writer declares "writing > sleep" to be true...

Keep in mind that I started writing everything below at roughly 0430 earlier this morning. My body feels like complete crap right now, but... I need to post something now. Otherwise, if I should shut down in the afternoon, who knows how long I'll be out before I recover...?

Provisional Deferment of Self-Prohibitionary Ethics

You know how once in a while you go across your old files on your computer and you stumble across something hilarious you saved? ...n-no? None of you do that? Oh, well, uh... *clears throat*

A-Anyway, this is one such example of a gem. Back before I was 21, I was a major teetotaler. (For those of you who don't know big words, that basically means I refused to drink alcohol at all.) This was one character trait my friends found to be a tad annoying. They did respect it and all, but for me to refuse alcohol outright - especially on my 21^st birthday - that was just taking it too far.

Admittedly, I also was taking it too far as well. To deny myself something because of things I've heard as opposed to me actually experiencing the "nightmares" my friends have suffered... that was kind of stupid. I figured, "Fine. We'll have one night of alcoholic debauchery." However, at the time my mind was... well, locked onto this idea that I had to stay pure and free and alcohol... that it would be for my benefit for me not to drink.

So, I decided to make a legally-binding document that would allow me to drink to my will's content without feeling guilty about any of it (yeah, as if a few pieces of paper would stop the thought of guilt). The result... was this abhorrent three-page document that "allowed" me to drink. Please feel free to laugh.

Start The Day Off Right!

Heh. I find it weird how yesterday's image of the weather still seems accurate. It's been mostly cloudy, but as I was driving around, I did see the sun break out a few times. Maybe meteorologists can actually do their jobs. I 'unno. *shrugs*

Today's the second day of my "Thirty Thousand Trial," and I'm just typing and typing away so that I can get my thousand words for today's entry. While things may seem a tad forced for the next month or so, it doesn't mean I'm not enjoying it. After all, I miss this - the whole "writing a whole bunch of things" deal I do (or used to do). It flexes my brain matter and may end up getting me a new idea or so.

But enough on that - let's talk about other things. Like... food!

Weathered In

What this week's weather looks like in Inaba where I live.

*sniffs the evening air* Hm. Despite the clouds, this seemed to be a good day. It also seems to be the start of an interesting month. Let's make sure that it stays that way. Alright, readers?

Please keep in mind that the above forecast is not from Persona 4 but is in fact a (mostly) accurate weather report for any U.S. county under the 805 area code. No rampant rain or fog for the time being, which means no murders any time soon! (I hope.)
