My boss told me he's putting me in for a raise today. For most people, this would probably be no cause for celebration but to me it's a rather big deal. I've been working 25+ hours a week since I was 16 and I'm now in my 20's and this is the first pay raise I've ever gotten outside of the minimum wage going up. On top of that, when I decided to head to the pub for lunch, the bartender heard it's my birthday tomorrow and started giving me whiskey. I ended up going back to work 20 minutes late with a big grin on my face. This has been the first really good day I've had in quite a while. Normally, I just spend about 14 hours working/painting and then call it quits till the next morning. Makes me happy.

Off to jiujutsu then.
I'M JEALOUS. since i started having problems pop up here and there, and going to the gym at 4, i haven't made time for my martial art and it makes me sad.
———————–
you ever have those dreams that when you wake up, you believe the events in them happened? I've been saving up for a truck. it's the next step in my vehicle procurement plan. I get the truck, then i get some four wheelers. 3. ? then i profit.
anyways, i got a blue truck. f150. extended cab. i went downstairs to put that crappy couch in it, so i could take it to the dump, and realized i had dreamed buying it, and i'm still a year away from it. then i felt soul shatteringly sad. because i had thought that i had it soooo much.
Oh heyyy der, I'm back.
So the cruise/Europe was fun (and hot.) I happened to be in Spain for the big world cup win, though I was trying to sleep at the time. Italy was… crowded but the people for really very sweet. Unfortunately, the Vatican museum is basically an oven, but was worth it to see the Sistine chapel.
Lastly, I pretty much want to live in Nice, France. It's probably the most beautiful place I've ever been to. Maybe not live, but at least stay there for a long time. Europe was nice, but I'm content living in the States. I missed capitalism and baseball a lot while I was away. And drivers that show up on time. XD
The only thing I really felt bad about was the cruise staff. They were so unbelievably friendly and helpful (the one guy even made my little brother towel animals that kept him thoroughly entertained) but they don't get paid very much. They only get to see their families 10 weeks out of the year, though it's considered a really sweet job in the counties they come from. Still, I could tell it made our waiter's heart ache since he just had a baby and he and his wife both would only see her once a year. It's a shame. ):
Anyway, I need to get to sleep. The jet lag is beginning to hit me. @_@
I've been nearly awake for 24 hours (well. actually in another 4 here) and I'm really not sure why I started this.
I pretty much wanted to get back on a normal sleeping schedule (going to bed early, waking up early), instead of going to bed at like, 3 in the morning, waking up at 11.
I understand that it's summer, but I have stuff I wanna do, you know?
So I drew a page, finished it, played some Modern Warfare 2 with my brother, then came out and made some breakfast. Cheese omelet with toast, and coffee. I'm hoping that this start to my day makes everything better. :\
I really should put some sort of re-wetting drops in my contacts though, because something tells me that they won't like me.
My production week at school's pretty good. Havin' some fun. Dancing at whatnot. I've been the bbq master (along with two of my friends) and got some boiling hot grease splashed on my hand when one girl thought we sabotaged one of her sausages and she threw it on the bbq, right into the puddle of grease. A sharp searing unexpected pain, it was. I dropped my spatula on the ground. Conveniently right onto two sheets of kitchen paper that had fallen on the ground. Great coincedence.
Oh and we did sabotage her sausage. Rubbed it all over my apron. heh heh heh. Go right ahead and make a very sexual joke out of that…
"Hey look, 3 robots that are piss hard to take down, you use this really impractical device to take down the big one, which always misses and is always destroyed by the smaller ones, we'll go die so you have to take down the smaller ones as well as the big one. Deal? Oh, also we'll get really fucking sarcastic and annoying if you fail."
God Half Life 2 Episode 2 Part 2 The prequal revenge of the return of the combine revolutions has to be the most frustrating thing ever.
And if that isn't enough reason to be annoyed, my mum decides to go upstairs and leave the door wide open. Why?! What benefit does she get out of this other than annoying me?
If I go upstairs and tell her to stop doing that she'll just say "I ALWAYS SHUT THE DOOR YOU LEAVE IT OPEN ARE YOU SURE I DIDN'T CLOSE IT AND YOU LEFT IT OPEN?" then if I do that in 5 years, she'll bring this up, and never shut up. Ever.
"Hey look, 3 robots that are piss hard to take down, you use this really impractical device to take down the big one, which always misses and is always destroyed by the smaller ones, we'll go die so you have to take down the smaller ones as well as the big one. Deal? Oh, also we'll get really fucking sarcastic and annoying if you fail."I hate that part. The smaller bots are really more fun to fight… but you have to deal with the stupid striders… and getting from place to place in the valley to hunt them down is extremely annoying. Especially when the bastards destroy all the nearby bomb station thingos.
Buy Kroatz stuff or do not buy Kroatz stuff?
So hard when you only got twenty bucks to your name.
So I've been busy working on a new horror comic which is a collection of my favorite short stories on My Short Story Thread which is a link in my sig.
I'm doing the comic as part of Eraser's Update a Day challenge.
Two days of consistent pages is really good for me.
But there's no way I'll make it much further.
Even if I did do it all summer, I'd lose once school starts.
And my family as always is quite annoying. I need a break from being with them and the fact that I haven't done ANYTHING all summer is getting to me.
The last time I saw one of my friends in real life was…three (?) weeks ago…
And my parents are never home and my friends are never getting back to me.
Even if either are home I'm still being dragged off to do something I don't want to or being bored out of my mind.
Can I get a break PLEASE?!
Edit:
My new comic 13 is actually getting some attention! I got a comment and a 5 from lothar!
What has this world come to?
is this an online break?
0800 tomorrow morning i'll be beginning a test. of physicalness. the swim and the pullups, and the pushups, and the situps aren't hard. it's the run that i'm all nervous about. i never get it down consecutively…

another hat post by ParkerFarker????
Well I found the sickest hat at school today. This week we have production week so it's just some of year ten who are there, and we either dance, chew the fat, or kick a ball. It's pretty fun. But I was looking for a table to put the sauce and bread on for the bbq I was having. Unofficial cook, I was. And I found the coolest looking 80s hat. It's from the 80s as well. Probably been lying in the same place for 30 years. So it's a tad dirty. Not lice-ridden though, they can't last that long. So I whacked it on. It is so cool. Wore it for the rest of the day. STILL wearing it, in fact.
Here's the hat, nicely modeled by Akubra Man, the mannequin head.
When I got on the train, I had about 10 minutes to spare. So I was waiting there, hat off at this stage, and a group of girls sits in the bench directly facing the window I'm looking out of. A tad awkward at first. But these were the loud, taking pictures of everything, phone-in-hand type of girls. SO I decided to have some fun. I put my crazy hat on. And they "discreetly" took photos of me. hahahaha. It was great. I was finally one of those random people that other people take photos of to laugh at! Lovin' life!
I had no idea how much of an obsession I have with hats…

you ever have those dreams that when you wake up, you believe the events in them happened? I've been saving up for a truck. it's the next step in my vehicle procurement plan. I get the truck, then i get some four wheelers. 3. ? then i profit.YES! I had the worst one of those the other day. I dreamed that I combined some shampoo specifically for red heads (of whom I am) and some shampoo for silver hair (not gray, silver…) and then it made my hair really light and shiny and just the best ever. I had the best hair in existence and I can remember one moment where I was in the middle of all these good looking people and we were posing for a photo and I was smack bang centre of the photo and everyone wanted to talk with me. It was awesome, my hair was so good.
anyways, i got a blue truck. f150. extended cab. i went downstairs to put that crappy couch in it, so i could take it to the dump, and realized i had dreamed buying it, and i'm still a year away from it. then i felt soul shatteringly sad. because i had thought that i had it soooo much.
Then I woke up and forgot about the dream until later I remembered it and was like crushed cause my hair wasn't like that. But it was weird, because when I saw my hair in the dream, it was a lot like my hair normally and people often do want to talk to me (or everyone's just very polite hahaha) but… it was just the way better in this dream.

Go for it. When you're special ops you'll be doing HiLO extractions. Sorry Pit but that Beats driving large red trucks. THough seeing your face behind the wheel would make every man's heart go pitter-pat.
I miss my tank.
I lost my regular glasses. So I'm just using the old 'script ones that I've been using for reading. The others were so scratched it was getting hard to see anyway. And now when I look at people they look like they're photographed through gauze. But what did that street sign say again?
And I found the coolest looking 80s hat. It's from the 80s as welllooks a bit like a Fresh Prince sort of thing. You have to wear those sideways ^_^
It's an awesome cap. Groovy colours!
——————-
Wow Pit, that's AWESOME!
I hope you get to ring the siren. Constantly. :)

Gawd, massive headache makes concentration haaard and me irritable! Plus, there's cat fur on everything!

haha, oh yes ozone.i drove it to a brush fire the other day. well ended up bein nothin at all. but sirens were blarin and everything. can be tricky though, that truck is wide and alot of the roads here are real narrow and bumpy, so it takes some gettin used to. but it is a nice feeling to see people just clear the fuck outa yer way,haha! and thank you!
parker, that hat is the full tits, my friend.
f*ck, f*ck, mcf*ckity f*ckerson. f*ck.
i swam fast. i ran fast. i sat it up quickly. I did only 3 pullups. ONLY 3 FUCKING PULLUPS. well, technically, i did 9. 3 were picture perfect. 3 weren't far enough, and i touched the wall on 3 of them. so ONLY 3 FUCKING PULLUPS COUNTED. that's failing by the way.
I'm off to find an airmen who is doing nothing, so i can beat on him to take out my aggression. (equivalent to a private, for those of you who are more familiar with the army terms. lol. beat a private.)
