I dunno what that is but congrats!

University of California Davis. In California Higher education we have UCs CSUs and private schools. Generally UCs > Private > CSUs. Davis was my top pick :D

I've already been accepted to CSU Humboldt, CSU Chico, UC Riverside. I was getting worried.

@Relationship Problems: At least you have relationships. I've wanted to ask a few people but dicided agianst it for the following facts: I don't have a car. All my money is going to bills. I am leaving for UC DAVIS in a few months. So I have no means to hang out other than school. I have no money for dates or romantic gifts and I'll be leaving before long. Grace, I thought everyone was suppose to find there perfect someone in High School as well. I saw countless couples being formed and the reaccounts of my teachers romantic meetings with there romantic others in high school wasn't helping. Now it seems college is where your suppose to meet that specail someone. Well I've failed at that idea for the first two years. Lets see how I do for my next four or six XD

So the boy decided he likes sports more than vagina

Wait…a teenage boy turning down vagina? Is this the Twilight Zone? Rod Serling, you've gotta hear this.

Last page inked and flatted, all fourteen prepared for lettering and coloring (delete the pencil sketch, lock the flats layer so I don't ruin it, put a 75% opacity white layer on top of the art, select the top layer, save…) and first 6 pages rewritten and lettered. 8 to go, and then the coloring!

Job news: I'm supposed to appear in the "recrutation office" (whatever that should be in proper english, anyway) and if it works well, I'll have to go to the meeting on friday and then I'm starting the job in May.

Possibly he's not straight? It happens. ;)

Umm… nothing to rant about really…
Lusting after a smaller version of the ultra flat Lcd LED TV I bought for my TV to replace my main computer monitor. Stupid I know, but it's hard to shift that sort of desire.

And today at work- suggestions and suggestions on the art that I was doing for this thing… And I just wanted to say "Look, just f**k off ok. Your ideas are brainless, let me think about it and come up with something good. Just SHUT UP!".
I came Sooooo close to that.
In the end I just said "yeah, yeah yeah…" pretty much ignored the advice, had a think and came up with something really cool to much praise. Too bad I didn't get to finish it yet because of a million other stupid little jobs with more priority coming on top of it. hmm.

I'm going to be working two jobs now. The sad thing is even with me working another job it dosn't make up for my mom losing hers.

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.)

Yeah… I went there, I did it; I pulled out the totes on you. I totes pulled out the totes on you. But see I was gonna ask her out when we chilled next but then she invites some more people so I feel less comfortable to ask her with other peeps around. And I'm guessing asking her online or over the phone is not a good thing to do? I def don't wanna ask her at school. Way too many opportunities for interruption at school.

high school relationships

oh god…OH god….OH GOD….flashbacks…so horrible. unclear womens….wrong signals….everything done wrong everyone will know….

ahhhhhHHHHHHH

oh wait. i don't deal with that anymore. it's hard to say i'm not in a perfect relationship. cause on one hand, we fight about most things….but on the other, we almost always find a win-win in our arguments. and we don't have to ignore each other for the win-win.

Boys are much less complex in reality

heh, I just saw this.
I'd say it's a misnomer. Boys and men like to imagine that they aren't complex, but in reality both men and women are minefields of &%*$!

That said, both men and women can also act as if they were as uncomplicated as Fred Flinstone. ^_^

Posted at 5:04AM, Apr. 7, 2010

Im just good at keeping my relationship up. Also probibly because im about as complex as an empty box. The only problem is that girls tend to like complexities. So some guys would put it on. I just dont care. Either im liked for who i am or not. Thats what probibly makes me so accessable. Though ive only had 3 girlfriends in the space of 5 years. first one was a bitch. Didnt last very long. Second one was way to obsessive, i left her a week later and 3rd one i love and have been with for 17 months and i dont see that changing.

Also it seems TFGM has 99 problems but
[spoiler]relationships wouldnt be one.[/spoiler]

In other news i had a rather messed up dream where i had to dress as a girl and attend a girls school with my girlfriend. I got hit on and i broke his teeth. The chat up line was "Well youre a big girl, arent you. You two fancy coming back to mine."

Imagine dr girlfriend from venture bros and youve basically got it. Although i did make a pretty girl. lol!

I dont know where the fuck these dreams keep coming from… Maybe i secretly want to be a girl lol! no that would suck.

Good point. I think it was almost two in the morning when I wrote that and didn't even think of it.

Either the boy really loves his sports, or he's a homersexual.

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.

As true as I wish this was, it's really not. Not for everybody, at least. Some people get lucky in High School, they find someone, and they end up together, or at least stay together for a long time. Obviously, some relationships don't work like that. But then there's the few that pretty much never date anybody in high school. Like me.

Now, my reasoning is because I don't want to date just anybody. I'm one of those nice guys, so I really like girls that I have something in common with. But apparently around here, there's not too many of those. Every time I do start talking to a girl, it all goes horrendously wrong. However, that's just my luck. I know it won't be like that throughout my life, mostly because high school girls are immature for the most part anyway (not every girl, mind you). It's just the majority of high school girls (and guys for that matter) have only like, 3 things on their mind.

Gettin laid', Partyin', next time they get wasted.

Personally, I'm just not into that type of lifestyle. Some people are, and that's fine. It's just usually, especially around where I live, it sets you up for disaster. Because you party so much that you don't wanna do school work, you fall behind, don't graduate, etc, etc.

So yeah, if you don't happen to find love in high school, don't worry. Your life doesn't end after you graduate ;)

…or does it?

Itâ€™s a possibility, but I donâ€™t want to be one of those people that are like â€œOh, he doesnâ€™t like me, he must be gay!â€ I donâ€™t know, he never gave me the impression he was, but it would explain some things.

Yeah… I went there, I did it; I pulled out the totes on you. I totes pulled out the totes on you. But see I was gonna ask her out when we chilled next but then she invites some more people so I feel less comfortable to ask her with other peeps around. And I'm guessing asking her online or over the phone is not a good thing to do? I def don't wanna ask her at school. Way too many opportunities for interruption at school.

I know what you mean, itâ€™s hard making any big leaps when other people are around. I wouldnâ€™t ask her out online, but the phone is acceptable, at least in my opinion. That way you can hear the personâ€™s voice and tone. In the event that she says yes, youâ€™re gold, but if she doesn't at least you gave it the old college try. Plus itâ€™s a little harder to give someone a shit excuse when put on the spot. At least that way you would get a more honest answer. Now put those totes away, son, before you shoot your eye out!

As true as I wish this was, it's really not. Not for everybody, at least. Some people get lucky in High School, they find someone, and they end up together, or at least stay together for a long time. Obviously, some relationships don't work like that.

The thing is, I know in my head that not all relationships work that way, but itâ€™s kind of hard when your parents met at 13 and 14 years old and are both under the impression that itâ€™s the way things are done. They donâ€™t quite get this whole new fangled idea that there are people out there who have trouble finding dates, since both of them never had a problem with it when they were younger. >_>

Most of the time I feel like itâ€™s all just an act, because to be honest I donâ€™t care half as much as people tell me I should. Things would be a lot easier if we were all told we could do things at our own pace.

Power in my area keeps going out along with the internet. Not fun. Plus I have absolutely no time. Even less fun.

But if I just believe…

Learned how to play Stephen Lynch's "Little Tiny Mustache". Fun song. Did it in a couple minutes. May have said this already…

Is it sad that I was part of a game of UNO where it took 3 hours before we called it a draw? And only thirty minutes earlier someone came in a second? And thirty minutes in someone had won?

Posted at 12:04PM, Apr. 7, 2010

And friend zone. When does that shit kick in? I feel I could be dangerously close with this girl to the friend zone.

My experience, once you make a move at all, you have 48 hours, 72 tops to get it moving or one of you is going to think the other doesn't have any interest. And usually, if you gotta ask if you're in the friend zone, it's a foregone conclusion.

Best way to find out if someone even has interest in being friends, ask 'em out to a group event. It's not a date, just a friendly invitation. But the answer will tell you everything you need to know without getting egg all over your face.

Personally, I know of one girl who makes me grin every time I see her just because she has one of those personalities. I have no interest in her sexually or anything, but for whatever reason she entertains the hell out of me. For instance, I spent all yesterday afternoon in the ER getting my thumb pieced back together, but before I managed to mangle it, I ran into this girl in the hall between the Industrial Design department and the maintenance area I work in. She found a black flak helmet two sizes too big for her head somewhere and decided to put it on. I ran into her walking around with this great big mixing bowl of a helmet on her head and a goofy grin all over her face, and every time I thought about it while in the ER waiting room I got a big grin of my own. I'm pretty sure the nurses thought I'd lost it. For me, I don't even need or want a relationship with anyone, but finding a person who makes you grin for no reason is about as good as it gets in my book.

Maybe hes probibly not ready or that whole innocense thing is putting him off and he doesnt wanna do anything to change it. Or maybe hes gay! What straight guy doesnt like vagina?! Occasionally it makes me sneeze. And no i do not have robert pattinsons vaginal alergies.

Also anyone willing to tackle that weird dream i had?

Posted at 1:04PM, Apr. 7, 2010

I don't think it means you want to be a girl, the fact that you punched a guy because he asked both you and your girlfriend out probably means that you are feeling insecure about your relationship, or that you are feeling that it might be getting less in the near future.
The big girl part can mean you are either unhappy about your own looks or that you think your girl is out of your league.

It of course has many other explanations but this is what I get from the little you told about this specific dream. If I'm right about the relationship issues I'd recommend not contacting your girlfriend for a day and then check if you miss her, if you do than it's definetly worth fighting for.

——————————————————————————-

While we're on the issue of relationships, I have one girl I've been flirting with for a while. she's kissed me several times on several occasions, from a quick kiss to say goodbye to a really nice kiss just because she feels like it(best kisses in my life), but when I ask her to go out with me she always declines.
She isn't slutty in any way, rarely talks to other guys and I've never seen her kiss another guy either. She knows I'm not gay and she isn't bi-curious either.

WHAT THE HELL DOES THIS MEAN!

Would you like a nametag? It'll read "plaything" and have pretty hearts and birdies on it.

I'm starting to get my drive back for everything I'm very very happy right now. I've been avoiding thinking abut my future lately, which might be why i'm so happy, but i guess i can't block it out forever..

I'm streaming the first season of Sailor Moon in Japanese…

but this is my first time streaming, so I want somebody who's online right now to help me out.

http://www.justin.tv/auroramoon#r=LGi2K1Q~

if this works for everyone, then I'll be able to stream Sailor Moon, and many other anime at everyone's request. And not just anime, but many movies too. I have quite the DVD collection… over 270 dvds.

so if you want to view something from me, then mot likely I may actually have it on DVD.

Just bought Rune Factory Frontier for my Wii. Think Harvest Moon… WITH SWORDS!!! Enjoying the first few game days of the game so far except for one problem… heh… not bad for being only $20. :)

The owner of the general store is annoying. In fact, I find him so annoying that the only thing I want to do with this brand new broadsword I bought is to smash in his face with it. Yes… I said SMASH! Not slice or cut… I imagine my nice shiny brand new weapon will make quite an impression on that ugly mug of his… :)

Then there's the emo carpenter who looks like he's been stepped on all his life, the fa… er… huge inkeeper and his hot wife. Unfortunately his daughter inherited her fathers genes… The hot elven blacksmith and her son (yeah… she's hot because she works by a furnace all day), a farmer next door (whose face I also want to smash my broadsword into) and a superfast "Sonic the Hedgehog" wannabe mailgirl. I'm sure there are others who will reveal themselves later though as I'm not too far into the game yet…

Had a manly dream last night. :). Lots of face punching and exploding people.

Think it depends on what i do before i go to bed. Was watching fist of the northstar for a couple of hours.

Went for my permit today and passed the test, but I have to go back tomorrow to get my actual permit because the doctor forgot to put her state license number. Frick. -_-

I woke up today… and first thing, my pc refuses to start properly. So I decided to fill the papers I got yesterday (job related stuff) and of course I screwed up. I was pretty sure I need to show them tomorrow, so I rushed off to get another set, nearly ran through the city (walking as fast as I could I'm fast enough to catch up to the slower joggers, haha) got there with half hour to spare before they close… only to find out that I don't need them tomorrow but AFTER I had the "test day" and the medical checkup. Well great, I just wasted time :P

Anyway… I got back and took my pc apart, tried to put in the old graphic card and then back the less-old one, see if maybe it's a memory issue, blow out all the dust using a hairdryer, replugged all the power/data wires, and one of these things fixed the problem. So yay.

Speaking of time: I have spent an ENTIRE night coloring one page. I was going to do a whole batch (what with flats being done beforehand and all that)…

So in a way it's a failure, heh.

But also a success because…

Well, just because :D

Now I just have to repeat that 13 times. Hopefully faster this time.

And depending on how tomorrow goes, I'll either have a job at the beginning of May… or not.

Posted at 12:04PM, Apr. 8, 2010

I have spent the day trying very hard to get some stuff done that I need to do in order to be ready for tomorrow, but I am so absolutely not done. I am gonna be working on this til I make myself go to bed at 11 or 12. :[
