Rant, Moan and Rave - 2010 edition
woulda been minus one batman had I decided not to, monkey.
This is a crisis. It's easter and in my basket there is NO JELLYBEANS? This is a worldly issue. We're all gonna die lest 1337 gets some jellbeans RIGHT NOW.
1337 want the beans.
Stupidly best thing EVER.
Been watching Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends.
Hot in Topeka. Watched that one scene…346 times in a row.
Oh so now Lonneheart you've decided to eat my babies in sandwiches and my mother in law as an entree? You probably tricked the kids in by saying you were santa, or even better, THE EASTER BUNNY, and got my mommy in law by saying you'd eat her all up…and that there was alcohol. Bah. Go eat em. Help "decrease the surplus population."…that's a quote from something…
I've got eight chickens… Leet, Skullbie, Peipei, Same, Kroatz, Ironscarf, PPeep (Product Placement has too many letters) and PitFace (good name for a fighting chicken… too bad the chickens in this game don't fight).You named chickens after DD members? That's awesome lol, i think i might name my chickens that way too if i ever find my DS cute cartridge.

My new gundam:
Most detailed and movable one i've ever had…it stands up in almost any pose too. sad because i didn't care for 00 T_T
So I started yesterday with partially inked page 9. Just the basic lines on the middle row, perhaps 10% of the page ready. I inked that.
Then I inked page 10… and then 11.
So I pretty much inked THREE pages in one day. My arm almost fell off, heh.
Three more to go. Let's hope today's marathon goes as smooth.
Weekend from hell. I really don't even want to think about it any more. I just want to get back to working on my projects.
I'm pretty much the only person I know from highschool left who isn't in a long-term relationship, engaged, married or with kids. Granted I was right after high school, but it's kind of depressing to see all these people I know having kids, getting married, etc. before we're even out of school. Most of my friends are under the age of 22. It seems like this is way too early to be settling for a family and kids when there's still so much to be doing.
Settling for a family should be done as quick as possible, I'm 18 right now and I have four children and have been married two times.
That's the only way we can defeat the chinese when they attack!
Insane ranting is win!
Meh, my friends are all in the age range of 20 to 28 and they are still living at home with their moms, that's the other extreme…

Wait till they all stop hanging out because they want to spend time with their families or catch up on much needed sleep.
Actually, that's perfectly understandable. What's bad is when some of them start telling you that just wait, one day, you'll just know you want to have kids, and it will be magical and you're a horrible person if you don't want kids and you're missing out on the best part of life without them.
Me, I'm selfish. Kids are expensive. I'd rather take vacations.
I think there is some kind of link between marriage and birth rates, and the economy though. The less chance people have of getting a job, the more likely they are to have kids younger, or something like that.

Yeah. They're already doing that. I didn't even know my best friend had gotten engaged last November until I saw the ring on her finger. I'm just waiting for the day everyone starts asking me when I'm going to settle down, find some girl and start popping out kids. I have no interest in hurrying into something like that.
It's not even that I have something against relationships or having a family, but at the age of 21 I regard it as way too early. Partly because I was dumb enough to get engaged at 18, ( and now I'm actually pretty grateful it got broken off. ) but mostly because I still have a lot I want to do before I have to start thinking of others. I'd be perfectly content with a girlfriend, knowing there were no plans on marriage any time soon, but I just don't understand why anyone would want to jump straight into having to put everyone else first.
So I'm starting to get okay with working digitally. Inking and stuff is actually pretty fun digitally. It just sucks because I still have a lot to do for the first Arc of my new comic, Charles and Viktor. ugh.
Also, later on I get to go to the gym. Exciting, since last time, for some reason, I couldn't lift worth the crap. I did squats okay, but then when it came time to do bench (I wanted to do explosive reps, not maxing out or really even regular repping) I did like, 8 the first set, then 10, then I only got like, 3. And that was only with 95 pounds. Which all in all, really isn't all that bad, because explosive reps are harder than regular ones. But still.
I'm going back to doing regular lifts. Eff this.
Also, I need to step up my cardio game. Because cardio is fun….and I suck at it. Today would be a great day to go out and run, but last time I went outside and ran, I ended up getting sick, throwing up, and then not being able to work out for 2 weeks.
I also realized I cannot play basketball.
Good news is, though, I'm getting a LOT better at showing action in comics. I realized all my action stuff over the years has been stiff, but I'm really trying to improve upon that. Because I don't want to be known as the "lol this guy thinks he's really good but he actually really sucks lol".
My life has been SO boring lately. Absolutely nothing happened this entire weekend other than the internet, power, and food in my house being rare in production…
And the fact that I still have to help get the rest of the gd water out of the gd basement.
And I need to sketch. And learn more songs on guitar (meaning actually learn the whole song, not just an intro and such). And get back to writing the story my friend and I are writing (it's my turn). And get sleep. And finish reading and WATCHING The Stand.
and that's it.
Me, I'm selfish. Kids are expensive. I'd rather take vacations.
Seventy2 likes your status.
i've been spending way too much time on facebook
I'm also refreshing http://www.google.com/phone waiting on the nexus one to be available on sprint.
no wonder we haven't had kids yet.
Ahhh… it's so great to live alone sometimes (and in my case it's rent free!). Sure I have bills I gotta pay, but I can go anywhere I want, eat anythimg I want (which is good since I'm on a diet due to medical problems), and even better… I can come home as late as I want and no one will be at my house to nag/scream/attack me trying to get info about where I was so late at night! And I can play my video games BY MYSELF too! Yeah!!!
And I can rent what I want without having to consider anyone else who'd want to watch (just rented "Up in the Sky" starring George Clooney… a great movie). And I can watch my Spaceballs and Airplane! DVDs and no one will interrupt me and complain about them! :)
Unfortunately, thanks to work I end up using almost all of my time to sleep… T_T
Heh… One thing that bothers me about most of the Harvest Moon series… you marry a girl, she loses her job (almost always). Especially in the female version of Back to Nature. You get your girl farmer married, game over. I wonder what the makers of the game had against women… There was a version of Harvest Moon DS Cute that allowed the farmer and a person of the same sex to enter into a marriage of sorts, but when they brought it to the U.S. it got taken out and the game makers won't comment on it… sheesh… kinda how I felt when the Doom movie came out but they changed it from a Space Marine fighting Hell to The Rock and his friends fighting Resident Evil creatures…
Yup, most people fail at life.
I had a class today, in the email stood 2 o clock, the teacher showed up at four…
I was still there with a couple of friends because we were playingf supersmashbrothers on the big ass beamer they have so I had to sit through a 15 minute lecture and then I could go again.
Waste of time, that's all that school is.
Having a really epic Easter break so far. Went to my first baseball game with a bunch of my friends on Saturday and had a kick ass time. We had to take the train and subway to get there and my parents were all worried because they knew the subway went through several bad neighborhoods, but it felt like an awesome adventure. Of course, I was fine. Got a little certificate and everything. Also, cotton candy is a brilliant invention.
Easter was interesting as well. I got hit on by this guy during Easter Mass. He kept staring at me and winked at some point. I swear he's the same guy who was trying to grab my attention last time I went to Mass with makeup on (though I thought it was because I was wearing a Syracuse sweatshirt) but this happened at two totally different parishes, so I'm not sure. Oh well, it's these little moments that reinforce my confidence while the other boy is taking too long to reciprocate.
I'm bored now though. Plus I possibly have to go back to school to a detention because my class didn't get a substitute when the one who was supposed to be monitoring us didn't show up. I did my work, though, so if I have to get a detention after all, my mom's gonna go in there and raise Hell. After the shit they put us through with formal and other scandals, the last thing they should do it screw with my mom. .___.;
Possibly having a party at my house on Saturday. Hopefully I'll get some more feedback soon.
Something strange I realized is that I don't really like normal music. Aside from a little Dethklok here, or some Megadeth or something there, I just don't really like it. For some reason, I like Video Game Soundtracks. I don't know what the difference is, except maybe it triggers some sort of nostalgic response that releases happy chemicals in my brain or something (who knows).
It seems like whenever I listen to "normal" music when I draw, I just get bored and distracted easily.
I always get most of my work done when listening to video game ost's.
Let this be a lesson to you all.
Which reminds me, I need to find some more soundtracks.
I have:
Battletoads in Battlemaniacs (David Wise is a beasty composer)
Super Battletoads
Battletoads & Double Dragon
Donkey Kong Country 2 (probably favorite or second favorite one)
Guilty Gear (a few different ones)
Jet Grind Radio
Jet Set Radio Future
Super Mario Galaxy
Super Mario Bros 3
Super Mario World
Super Mario World 2
MADWORLD
And I think that's it. Right now I'm getting the No More Heroes OST, and Metal Gear Solid (1-3).
I was thinking maybe Megaman, but I don't really want the 8-bit ones. Any suggestions?
[Okay, more teenage girl rants from Grace. :P Feel free to skip.]
So the boy decided he likes sports more than vagina and let all my friends on facebook know by declining the invitation to my party as coldly as possible. Nice. I love looking pathetic, I really do.
I'm embarrassed and disappointed, but most of all I'm just really tired. Tired of making excuses for him. Tired of getting my hopes up. Tired of waiting around for guys in general. They're really not that great, but I disillusion myself because I'm trying so hard to find a happy ending at the age of 16, because we're made to believe you find true love in high school. Meanwhile, I have opportunities but I don't see them because I only fall for guys I know I can't get to reinforce the notion that I cannot be loved.
I guess he liked the idea of having a girlfriend over the actual girl herself. Or perhaps he doesn't want to put the effort out. I don't know. None of them seem to. It's just really hard going through this for the millionth time. God, teenagerdom is a pain in my ass! -_-;

You seem stressed, Mister. D:
I GOT ACCEPTED INTO UC DAVIS! XD
Congrats! :)
UUUGGGUguuUGUhghgHHHhhhhHhhhHUuUuGghhhHhhh
You seem stressed, Mister. D:
I don't get stressed. I am, in fact, having similar problems but, seeing how I am straight, I am having girl problems not boy problems. It's just I don't get stressed and girls. I just don't get them! See there's this one girl and she seemed liked she was interested in me and then sometimes she doesn't and it's just totes annoying. Totes. And friend zone. When does that shit kick in? I feel I could be dangerously close with this girl to the friend zone.

We -are- really complicated, I apologize for that. Boys are much less complex in reality, but we like to make them out to be more complex than they actually are to make up excuses as to why they don't like us, but I digress. If I could give you any answers on the girl perspective, feel free to ask me. The best advice I could give to you is to just go for it and ask her out, because I know it's saved me a lot of time and effort just to be honest with the person I liked. It hasn't always been the best result, but it's helped me to move on much quicker. Plus I feel like when a guy visually shows his interest in you, it's a major turn on.
The friend zone sucks, I know. Hm, how have I signaled my guy friends that they were in the friend zone…? Saying things like "you're like my brother." Talking about other guys or my exes around them a lot. If she doesn't get dressed up when you guys hang out, she probably only sees you as a friend. Generally if she's treating you more like a relative than a potential boyfriend, you're in the dreaded friend zone.
She kinda sounds like my… not sure if I can even call him a crush anymore. Hopefully that works out better for you.
(Shit man, pulling out the totes on me! lol.)
Hotdamn girl, for some reason i imagined you as the innocent type.
I am… In some respect. There are two Graces, flirtatious Grace and religious Grace and one is always competing with the other. I talk a good game, let's put it that way. D: He was really attractive though, so It would have been increasingly hard to have stayed the good little Catholic girl. Emphasis on would have, since he blew it. XD
I am having a completely fine relationship :D.
I hope you feel the envy radiating off of me. Do you feel it? Do you? It's toasty.
