Frozen Tension

There's a moment in time where one is in waiting for some thing that they consider to be important to them. Depending on the person, it could be anything. The high schooler waits for the acceptance letter from a top college that they applied to, and their heart races the moment something arrives in the mail. The man who just proposed to his girlfriend is waiting for her response (and for some reason, that moment seems to be an eternity away). A famed sports competitor has just finished a performance of their athletic talents and is nervously waiting for the judges' numerical opinions.

With all of the above examples, there comes with it an arrival to the aforementioned "moment in time where one is in waiting" and the palpable tension they go through before the next part happens. That "nervous chill" if you will is a natural response, and it's a near-universal experience for us all.

Today is one of those days where this frozen tension is building up within myself. Just like the above examples, I've arrived and now the wait is starting to get to me. Unlike the others, though... I'm not exactly going through something that could really be considered nerve-wracking. Then again, to each their own - and in my case, the wait for the event is pretty killer.

So, if you feel like waiting alongside me, then keep going.

December Omens

A dark aura has settled on the retail world. Holiday hours have officially begun at Target.

Gods help us all.

Cleansing Work

This month is just drowning in chaos. I'm getting thrown left and right in my electronics department, and it's been greaaaaat.

In other words: no big entry tonight. It's been murder, and the clean-up has been... well, fun.

Migraining Daily

Today has been quite weird. A migraine has set in, and I'm just here realizing that I needed food to combat it. Food and iced tea. And all that is making me feel much, much better right now. yay.

What's worse is that I came up with a few great ideas for projects and silly entries, but I didn't have access to my notepad at the time, so I never jotted them down. As such, I've forgotten what they were and am trying really hard to remember them...

...ow. Thinking too hard just hurt my head once again. Great; the migraine's back. Now I have to go back on the floor with a throbbing forehead and no idea as to what interesting endeavors I had come up with in my brain.

In other news, though... I got in contact with a Twilight Empire officer. I'm scheduled for a meeting and interview on Tuesday, so we'll see if I can get myself into this roleplaying guild.

Christmas 2012 Wish List

So like I said yesterday, I'd be displaying my wish list for this Christmas. Without much further ado, here it is! Now go buy me things that I'll enjoy! *giggles*

Note that this list is in no particular order. I just listed them based on the order of which I came up with when I was compsing the list.

Composing a List

After a fair bit of thought, I've finally decided to start jotting down things I want for the holiday season. I came up with a list, and while I could post all of it on here, I'm going to hold out until tomorrow to post it.

I know - it sounds like I'm being lazy, but I'm at work right now and I don't exactly have enough time to work on the HTML for all of this. So, you'll have to wait 'til tomorrow.

Slight Regression?

Today's Tuesday. I'm not feeling like posting anything just yet, although I'm working on some good projects. That, and I've been practicing on my Mario Kart, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and other fun games skills.

In the meantime, expect a wish list for Christmas 2012 to show up. (Kinda weird considering how some of y'all won't be buying presents on account of the apocalypse.)

The Lion Finally Roars

For the longest time I've been stuck in some kind of energy-draining rut. Work seemed like complete and utter shit (and that's before considering fourth quarter traffic). Gaming felt like a grinding task to perform (and that's before considering the leveling I'm putting Gefallen through). Writing - both on my personal blog here and otherwise - became a chore and a nuance rather than a creative outlet for my restless mind. Life (and living, in general) felt like a despicable curse that haunted my very being.

It's easy to pinpoint (and subsequently blame) potential sources of this lethargic malady... but do I really know if they are the origin points? I found myself beginning to turn blue when my camera got lost a while back. It was found a little over a week ago, and while I was ecstatic (my co-workers will report something on the lines of "overjoyed"), my spirit's core wasn't lifted any. When I lost the right to use the phrase "I'm going home," I wanted to cry my small Asian eyes out and wail like crazy. (Nopony knew this; I'm good at façades.) However, this... depressed "condition" of mine... started long before I became homeless. So, if these weren't the sources (although I can honestly say they amplified my "condition"), that left me to ask two things:

1. What's the true source of this malady?
2. Why the frak is it still afflicting me like so? (Or rather: why the frak am I letting it afflict me?)

I don't know the answers, but I'm certain they'll come to me in due time.

I'm going to be frank with you: this post was originally going to end here. As you can see, however, I didn't let it stop. You'll also see that the rest of this entry's overall mood and morale levels are much, much higher than they've been in weeks - nay, months. (PMX 2012 lifted my spirits, but apparently I didn't show it well enough.)

/roar

Let's find out what got me to finally roar like the lion I know I am...

Storms Brew

Storm clouds are rolling into town. They contain the rain that will soak the soul and body of people who've yet to see rain throughout the year. And it will show no mercy between those who are protected and those that are not.

Cryptic metaphor? Nah - there's storm clouds over my part of California. I just like being cryptic and what not. Hehehe.

The Start of the Unknown

I took a break from work earlier today, and I saw something that I haven't really seen in ages: the sunset.

This wasn't taken today, but you know what? I don't care; it's a sunset. Y'all best be happy.

As the dusk approached me, I realized that I was at work. I realized a lot of things:

• There is only one more month between us and the apocalypse 2013.
• I haven't posted anything good here in a while.
• I should watch things I haven't watched before.

So, let's see what I need to do this December... this last month of what has turned out to be an interesting year. Let's see what needs to be done before all of mankind 2012 ends for us...
