Expensive trip… -_-
————————

Oh Skool, don't fool Skull with that act! You know we look at every single comic on the site and reject the ones we don't like. We even try and pass off adult comics as teen rated ones! That's our fave scam ;)
Oh yes, we watch everything you guys do. Everything!

In fact I'm watching right now… Stop that seventy2! You naughty man! What would your wife think?

my wife thinks that it's just not right to be travelling at over 200kts at 7 in the morning. wheels up at exactly 0700.

but when i read this, i was picking dead (i hope it's dead) skin outta the back of my gums. my wife would be very disgusted by that.

So today was a pretty good day.
I'm not working out today, since I didn't do so all last week, and I've been doing it hardcore (lol) for the past few days. I'm sore. So I think I'll just take today off.

I just finished toning Page 27. I'm super excited, because that means I have ONE MORE PAGE until the end of the chapter. Then I have a short side story planned. I was thinking about calling it "Gaiden", or even the…"Side Quest" thing like I used to. But I think the Side Quests are haunted or something. I never seem to finish them…

Who knows.

Anyway, I'd better get to penciling the last page. I want to write more script too.

Maybe you could research some non-fatal ways of rodent removal? There's bound to be something out there.

They do have some. There's this small speaker that you can buy and plug in to a socket that blasts a high frequency sound that humans cant hear but drives mice insane. They won't dare to enter a house that has one of those. Although I think dogs hear the sound too so it's not a viable option for those who own dogs.

Then they do have these spray cans that contain odors that we can't smell that drives away animals. I know for a fact that they have these kinds of sprays stray cats and you can buy milder ones for your house cat to spray on furniture you don't want them to jump on. Surely they have similar sprays for other animals.

That, or there's something called a live trap, which is basically a small box with a touch plate in the back that drops a door behind the animal when they step on it. You can buy them at most hardware stores for about $10 a piece.

I finally got into my online class, only to find out that the actual online coursework was on a completely different website altogether. One of these days, schools really should look into hiring a bunch of 5 year-old's to check their programs and sites. Maybe I should think about starting a company for this purpose.

But on the other hand, my traffic cone lamp is coming along beautifully. Hopefully I'll be able to finish it by the end of the day.

We tried that when we had mice, and it didn't work at all.

No one even commented on my violent outburst, wow.

Horrible horrible day. I think I reached my breaking point.
I don't know what to do, and I feel bad for my dad being stuck in the situation he's in.

my dog just made the most daring escape ever, and now i have to kill her. she was sick earlier. so i locked her up. when i came back from my martial arts she was out. i checked to see if she had been sick anywhere and she hadn't. but there was an empty bag of oreo's in the middle of the living room. WHERE DID SHE GET THE GD OREO'S?

also according to bitten by monk, i'm a viking who'll top himself by stopping his own heart. but with more explicitives.

Well, mainly because when you're a certain age you just naturally feel that way about one parent of the other at various times… But after a few years you don't tend to think that way anymore so it's hard to relate to, you know? We don't take that sort of thing as seriously…

Probably the best thing you could do is avoid her as much as you are able to until you both cool off a little.

Around the same time you stop having those feelings with your parents, you get married and have to deal with your spouse's parents and it starts all over again. And just after you get a handle on them, you become a parent. And you realize why your parents were like that because you end up imitating them to control lovely babies that turn into such ugly teens and then hideous adults and you wonder where you went wrong. And you look at the mother/father you hated and they say "Well now you know."

Just follow ozone's advice and try to find a quiet "happy" place and calm down. Deep breathing helps.

What the fuck is it with this neighbourhood and bin theft?

Posted at 4:05AM, May. 29, 2009

I must be an anomally. I never hated any of my parents, I have yet to marry… and I hate kids (my brother's kids mostly) I despise them with my little shrivelled heart :P

In 20-30 years I'll be shouting "goddamned kids, get offa my lawn!"

Good writing day yesterday. Started late, wrote 42 pages, got to exactly page 250 and ended up 50 pages ahead of the schedule. And I even found time to watch three eps of Speed Grapher. I'm hoping I can wrap the script in another 250-300 pages.

I should continue my search for referrences… I got the architecture covered (I'll just use this stack of postcards I have sitting here, lots of old buildings there), and fashion to some degree. I still need horses, some animal heads, old furniture etc.

Slacker. I'm only 35, and I've been shouting at kids to get off of my lawn for 3 years (ever since I became a homeowner) :p

Haha, homeowning here is only for the rich people. I'll be lucky if I own a flat at that point (I currently co-own this one with my brother as it was an inheritance from our parents).

I live in a town of less than 6,000 people. It does cost me time to get to work (it's a 1 1/2 hour drive between my house and my workplace) but I saved quite a ton of money buying a home here.

Literally, it probably saved me about $200,000 or more. If I were to price my current home, with it's two-lot standing and all the stuff on this thing in the areas around where I work, it'd cost me probably close to $200k more..

*goes to look* Aha. The median home price where I work is $214,722. The median home price where I live is $104,913. Ok, so I saved roughly 100k instead of 200k, still worth it. :)

>Net

Edit: the population number was off, I estimated it at 5k people, turns out there's around 6k people here.

I guess I forgot to count those rednecks that never leave their house. :p

I think maybe I phrased wrong what I said before…my mother is emotionally abusive. I don't really want/need to go into details about that, but I'm not just being some silly teenager trying to get attention. She's ruined my dad's life, and therefore mine.
She has known me all my life, and uses that against me every chance she gets, knowing all the right ways to push my buttons. Which is why I felt like punching her. That is NOT a normal feeling for me, and I absolutely hate feeling like I have no control over what I'm doing.

But hey, thanks for all the understanding, guys.

Honestly Hippie, all mothers are really like that. In my experience anyway.
-They're always meaner to daughters though

Oh it's horrible enough when you feel that way and very depressing too. But it will not last. Go away for a while? Do something that makes you feel good? See some movies, hang out with friends?
You could try appearing to kowtow and take on the appearance of an obedient, contrite daughter who admits every fault and does everything she's told… That might get her off your back.

Then drop your disguise and do what you want… A lot of the time there's no way to fight back against an angry mum, so you just pretend to concede instead for a while.

when i eat string cheese i always feel insanely hungry for another one immediately after, same thing with cheetos and those little snackwell cookies, i never ever have just one. ITS A CONSPIRACY MAN

So i've been trying to cut soda out of my diet which…hasn't been going so well. I switched to coke cherry zero but i highly doubt the zero calorie thing really means it's better, doesn't taste bad though.

Posted at 10:05AM, May. 29, 2009

actually, I cut full-sugar sodas out of my diet about a year ago. Once you get used to the aftertaste, the full stuff suddenly doesn't taste right. :)

Coke Zero and Cherry Coke Zero were my introductions to the diet soda world… but honestly, the one I've found tastes the best overall is Diet Dr Pepper. There's something about it, there's NO aftertaste at all.

I'm currently swearing by diet Mountain Dew, but that's because I can't give up my Dew. :(

And I know what you mean about the string cheese. I always grab 2-3 out of the package when we've got em, because I know I'd just be going back anyway if I didn't.

lol!

I stopped drinking that stuff years ago. :)
It's pretty easy really. You just have to decide not to.

I drink a LOT of tea and coffee though!

…I could give those up, but then I'd have to eat… I'm too lazy to eat. -_-

Oh sure, everybody has that degree of self control. That is why there are no fat people.
