Anyway, body. I find it more and more difficult to return to my previous weight. I'm afraid I might have to do some drastic starvation diet or somesuch. :/

Also, I've noticed a couple grey hair appearing over the last few years.

Ha. Yeah, I've got quite a few grey hairs. I don't mind 'em, though. My ma and grandma have always dyed their hair, but I don't think I ever will. Just ain't my style.

And it does get way harder to lose weight as you get older- I remember laughin' at the 17 year olds I worked with when I did drive-thru, braggin' about how they could eat all the junk food they wanted and "not get fat". Well, that's on account of your teenage metabolisms, ladies. Just wait. >:) But despite my constant weight loss efforts, I reckon I ought to be happy that I'm still the same weight I was in like, middle school. I'd rather be the weight I was at 25, though. Damn, I was lookin' good.

Hooray, I've started inking! Hopefully I can knock out at least the rest of this first page today, and start on the seecond. Either way, it's awesome to have that huge-ass stack of finished pencils. Now let's see if I can beat my June deadline…

It's also important that I get this done by June because when I (hopefully) move, I'll no longer have access to a scanner. I might be able to buy one if I get a job and work my ass off, though. If I finish the entire issue before the first page goes live, I'll have about 4 months between the first page of #3 and the first page of #4 to get the money.

Good luck with that Hyena.

My supervisor wants us to write a short quote/memory about as many coworkers as we can. I barely know who my co-workers are and I don't interact with them enough. I also really hate sentimental crap.

2 week vacation starts tomorrow.
Huzzah!
can't wait.

I thought I'd have a squiz at my new sword again… It's sitting up nicely in the umbrella stand (a good place for sabres), underneath one of my hat stands. Silly me pulled the thing straight up out of its scabbard and got stinky gun-grease all over the white weather cover on my Soviet Sailor hat :(

My lovely genuine Soviet sailor hat made in 1991 in Odessa…

So I HAD to get it clean! Lucky the white part is removable (only being a cover), but still… Well I got it almost completely clean with a scrubbing brush and detergent. So much gun oil all over that new sword. I'd clean it off, but I don't pull it out much so it's better on there to preserve it.

I'm so lazy this morning. I've been meaning to get dressed and eat breakfast and all that for nearly 3 hours now, and all I've done is put on underwear. Hmm, I'm getting kinda hungry though. I might have to actually do something soon.
I'm actually in a better mood today, though. All the crap that's been happening is just kind of slipping through my mind, which is nice.

I'd probably dye mine if it started to get bad. Always wanted to have black hair anyway (goes well with anything while with dark blond/brown you can't really wear red for example).

I wish I lived in a more tolerant country where I could wear whatever I wanted :P

This is why I don't like weapons. Can't really do anything with them. Can't wave them around at home (you'll break something), can't wave them outside (I'd be arrested in ten minutes, heh). they're just there and get in the way.
But I do regret throwing out my "sword" (which wasn't really a sword but a large chunk of fairly light wood with a shoelace tied to it to indicate where the blade ends, haha).

Btw, we had winged cavalry :D

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polish_Hussars

The bit there about wings is somewhat incomplete. It's not known for sure if these wings were ever used in battles or not, but there are hints that they were used by some soldiers (either two wings or just one) to scare the opponents and their horses.

(feeling rather non sequitur today in my posts and conversations. I'm so random, winamp's shuffle ain't got shit on me :D )

You don't need spray for a spider… Just squish them if you're that scared.
———–
Aurora, thas bad… :(
You were doing so well with the art work too! :)
Get better soon! I command it.

it turned out that I drank too much energy drinks or something.

I was working/gaming nonstop all day and night… during the day I had some college art classes, and the subject was all about scenery and backdrops, interesting enough… which is why I've been managing to find a way to make my backgrounds not look so shitty.

And then I came home to put what they taught to work on my PC…. and then when it became dark I spent some hours playing Valkyria Chronicles to unwind… and I became so involved in the game that I didn't stop playing until 4am, which was when I started to feel ill.

in that time span, I just kept on using those energy powders that you put in bottled water and shake it up to make your own energy drink. you know those kinds? Anyway, I kept on chugging down stuff like that almost nonstop so that I could keep on doing what I wanted to do.

I figured that it was the energy drinks when I kept on throwing up the stuff that was the same exact color as the energy drinks I made, and my stomach stopped hurting after I got all of it out of my system via throw up.
I went to sleep afterward, and woke up feeling much better.

all I know is… NEVER AGAIN will I use those energy powders to flavor my bottled water and shit. I only used it because I didn't want to zone out during classtime. -_-

I have to do work this weekend. And I have to go in to work to do it! >:[ And I have to get up at 6:30 (on a Saturday!) in order to get ready and get in on time to prepare a bit before the actual work starts… I'm hoping I won't have to be there more than 4 hours, but because of the commute, that's 6 hours out of my saturday…. that will buy me most of a day off next week though. :]

Apparently I have a cold to go along with my alergies. So not only am I sneezing like crazy and have watery/ichy eyes I am aching all over and I'm going through hot and cold flashes.

Posted at 2:04PM, Apr. 24, 2009

Thanks for the sentiments the other day you guys, i appreciate it.

I'm feeling better now, coping with stress and homework. I did finally get that gym thing set up, i have this weird 'key' to the gym but it's a tiny oval thing that i flash in front of the sensor. There's camera's everywhere too it kinda reminds me of that milkman level on psychonauts.
The owner has some huge muscles though, he told me to eat oats and laughed at how i cringed when he said 'without sugar or milk'.

Ach, my best friend just started going out with this chick who, frankly, I don't approve of. But it's not really my job to judge her, so I don't want to say anything unless I can see my friend being harmed in some way(I could see this girl getting my friend into trouble and unsafe situations). But that's all she's talking about now and I don't want to lie and act like I'm happy about it…it's getting a little awkward trying to change the subject every time she brings it up.
I'm going to try to give her a chance, though, I told my friend we should all hang out sometime so I can at least get to know her a bit before I start getting all judgemental. Ach, I can't believe I'm in this situation to begin with.

I'm having problems with words today. Like, constructing sentences and basic grammar and making sense. I have no idea why.

Posted at 7:04PM, Apr. 24, 2009

That happens to everyone once in a while :D

The forecast for tomorrow says 10'C and flurries tomorrow. Wtf, this city's weather isn't even following the basic laws of science any more!

No one is answering my messages or emails today, the bums.

Oh, hahaha!
I go through whole days like that sometimes. I just have to give up typing altogether. Usually it's just at certain times in the day though.
Talking is never a problem because it's far less complicated.

Had an almost two hour long workout at the gym. Did 20 mins of treadmill, 10 mins of that weirdass stepladder, 20 mins of that bicycle thing, and like an hour playing with the various weight machines and giving up after 5 reps.

I find it lame that with upper body i can barely work 20lbs and with my scrawny legs i can easily pump 70+lbs without even breaking a sweat (years of trampoline heh) I wonder what the maximum weight my legs can lift up is though…

It was 10.00 at night and two younger guys came in, but left right away >.> I put on deodorant sheesh.

EDIT: man i feel so good right now, this is just what i needed sea_cow you should try it

Everyone either hates me or ignores me on this site.

Anyways, here's two dozen haikus I just made up:

It fades into black.

I flushed it down the toilet.
Swim with the feces.

I'm eating creamed corn.
It has the texture of chum.
My vomit does, too.

I steal from children.
Tears run down from their faces.
I regret little.

I dance in the heavy rain.
Lightning harms my nerves.

I like barbecues.
I burnt the hamburgers though.
My guests shall not eat.

Driving down the street.
I see a group of children.
Three words: hit and run.

At my friend's wedding.
I said something I shouldn't.
"The bride is a whore."

The landlord's a jerk.

I'm really depressed.
Barbiturates didn't work.
I need more caffeine.

True.
That'd be mainly due to the intermittent trolling though.

Anyways, here's two dozen haikus I just made up:

I remember those from the TD.
Some are funny. Nice and pity, but I don't know if you could really call them haikus.

Posted at 5:04AM, Apr. 25, 2009

Skullbie, I recommend you getting an assessment and a possible workout routine established. That way it becomes focused on the areas needing work and helps with actually seeing progress. They should have a consultant there at the gym and they normally are free.

Posted at 6:04AM, Apr. 25, 2009

Once again I'm jealous of the gym memberships y'all gots! I used to go for like, 3 hours a day. Just literally kill myself until them endorphins kicked in. Runner's high, man. Gawd I miss that. :(

Posted at 6:04AM, Apr. 25, 2009

I have never gone to a gym. I do self exercising. A few times I did a class offered at my college for month. It was called Boot Camp. It was every weekday at 6am. But the teachers kept yelling at me during some exercises. "Hey you. You need to put your feet together for this one."

I marched right up to him and showed him that my legs were twisted (not majorly just slightly) and it was physically impossible for me to put my feet together. <-.-> Also my allergies/asthma always flared up during the Boot Camp session. Can't run when you can't breathe.

Oh well.

Oh, for the love of… GAH! The stupid neighbor kids are already shootin' off their BB guns at 10 am. I heard the older kid arguing with the stupid divorcee mom yesterday about whether or not the BBs went through our fence yesterday. I wanted to holler back, "Yeah, they f**kin' do go through the fence- and if you hit one of my dogs with that thing, I'm-a come over that f**kin' fence and beat your f**kin' ass!"

I had to include the profanity there, on account of that's what I would've said, verbatum. ;)

Posted at 7:04AM, Apr. 25, 2009

Sorry you got those types of neighborhood kids. My neighborhood had kids into arson. The 100 acre field was set on fire at least once a year. (We couldn't ever pin it on them though.)

Posted at 7:04AM, Apr. 25, 2009

@hyena
10 am seems a bit too early for that, maybe call the cops and see if it counts as a disturbance? I have no clue what your states laws are

I'm so pissed at my school right now, i've complained about the terrible slow loading site design before but now that they've made ALL registrations for fall to be done online only-i cannot even fucking log in and send in my online class homework due to the downtime.
You know what? I started feeling shitty as soon as i started school there too, maybe it's not college blues maybe that school sucks smelly ass and i was too new to realize college doesn't have to make me feel alienated and worthless :/

Posted at 8:04AM, Apr. 25, 2009

I am currently dealin' with them BB gun kids by blastin' "Death Row's Greatest Hits" from my loud-ass stereo. Hopefully they will get the message that I'm about to get real with 'em. They also have a habit of climbing over our gate to jump their own fence, and knock our gate open so our dogs get out the yard. Uncool. I hate those kids.

Also- I almost made it 'til noon without crackin' open an adult beverage. Meh. One of the benefits of unemployment, I guess. Hey, it's 5 o'clock somewhere, right?
