Okaaaaaaay this comic i made:

I have been seeing her around everywhere lately T_T Gym, at dairy queen, at the school today, etc. Seriously wtf? She's usually there first, gah i hope i don't look like a stalker, i swear i didn't know. With this luck i'm going to have her in one of my classes, i just know i am. Why'd i have to be so obvious about my crush.

On a plus side at the campus today me n' mom were buying books, and the cute boy that worked there gave us a discount because he thought we were nice :) Totally made my mom's day too, small stuff like that goes a long way i guess.

I feel terrible for medical students now though, i'm freaking out about my bio book being 170$ when they're ringing up these planet sized grimoires that are costing them more than the classes :/

I got to play with carnivorous plants today. :D
They're so cool!

Say… Nearsighted Cupid somehow
hits a woman instead of his intended male target to help out a girl…
That sounds awesome, i'd totally read it. :)

Lemme rephrase that. Nearsighted Cupid attempts to shoot the male crush of a girl who helped him,
only to miss and hit a girl nearby… who just happens to be the girl's adoptive sister… who
also happens to be a Yandere. Gotta feel sorry for the male love interest now…

I am now sleeping on the couch because there's a moth in my bedroom and I am afraid of swallowing it or killing it.

Oh, how the mighty have fallen.

Posted at 6:08PM, Aug. 3, 2009

A month ago I asked by a tenent to come up to her apartment because a moth had flown into it. This is a job for the security guard!

I searched the apartment. It helped the time go faster on my midnight shift. Moths usually go to a lightbulb, try to land on it, burn up and die. Or they flutter around it and slowly die from the extreme heat of the light bulb.

So I managed to cook up two more pages of boob jokes to tide over the comic for another week until I can shoot some new scenes.

The sleep paralysis is one thing and harmless if you have trained your mind to realize you're asleep. Hypnopompic/hypnogogic hallucinations are the ones that accompany sleep paraylsis and cause the problems. They are hallucinations set up by the brain akin to REM sleep when you are awake which can occur after being awake more than 72 hours. There is the sense of presence often of a grey or dark being, the feeling of being suffocated (part of sleep paralysis) It is often referred to as so-called Old Hag phenomenon and is even part of the alien abduction experience.

Once you know what something is, experincing is much less of a probelm.

Oh god. Thank you for reminding me of the last two weeks of last year. I spent most nights in terror. Even knowing what it was didn't make it stop or make it any better. And I can't honestly come up with a more evil way to die, than being choked to death by a bunch of what would otherwise be cute black fuzzballs. I probably spent as much time watching for those damn things at night as I did actually working. My roommate told me that he knew I was about to fall asleep again when I'd start glancing around the room a lot.

I have one week left. One week. I can't wait. All I have is one week before I get to leave this place. I can make it till then. I just hope the financial aid comes through.

I guess this is the difference between us. You're a GUARD and I'm an OFFICER.
I'm not paid to go out there and stop riots, wade into fights and take bullets
for clients. I'm just a night watchman. Guards are paid to do exactly as it says
on the badge; they "guard" their clients. Not like bodyguards, but.. eh…

I'll bet you still have to buy your uniform, arm yourself with your own weapons,
and you get to carry a 6 D-Cell Maglite for self defense (which I can no longer do thanks
to the idiots in the office who decreed last year that we carry AA powered plastic flashlights
no longer than a foot which use normal bulbs instead of blinding LEDs)…

I'm still fuming at not being allowed to have "teeth" for the job (I'd carry my baton, but
those are no longer allowed either) in case the crazies want to bash my braenz in with
baseball bats.

It's official. I hate scene girls.
Why, you may ask? (or not, depending on if you give two shits) Because I find them incredibly attractive, and for some reason, I always fall for them.

Ah yes, and I'm starting a whole new workout routine. As if I haven't said this a billion times. Not having a gym membership really sucks, but apparently I'm getting one with the family soon. I'm going to try to do a lot more cardio workouts.

And I'm trying to renew my inspiration to draw my comic.

So, basically, I'm going to be spending a LOT less time on the computer and watching TV, and a lot more drawing and working out.

So not only will I have a bunch of comics and all that good stuff, but I'll be fit as well!

I mean, I have big arms, but like, I don't have abs yet, and all that good stuff. But I'm confident it'll happen soon. Just gotta keep at it.

Posted at 9:08PM, Aug. 3, 2009

I heard Scene girls are horrible lays anyways and smell like a lidded curd of cottage cheese that was left out in the sun for days down 'there'.
I heard this on a site for virgins and anime nerds though.

So my new comic has 66 favs already yaaaay :) The hits are pretty pathetic though, it'll probably just barely make 400 by the rollover :/ Well my project wonderful has money building up from just sitting there, a dollar or two for ads wouldn't be bad.
Seeing the comments made me realize how much i missed plastic though, when i think about it the plot really isn't such a bad idea my execution was just sloppy though.

The rant thread just isn't the same without hyena and custard…*wipes solitary tear with dainty napkin*

^New comic looks great btw. I'll have to give it a read sometime.

So, I went to the hobby store today to get new art supplies. I picked up around 25 bucks worth of stuff, but when I was checking out, it all came out to around $13. "?!?!?!!" They were having a big sale and I didn't even notice. The end. XD

It was a great surprise! :D

I rented movies for my folks and I to watch yesterday; despite saying they'd watch a movie with me, they ditched me and my movie to watch some horror flick on television! ;_;

….

My rants are always so miniscule… >///>

It's more like rotten camembert.

Arrrrghhh! I hit my shin. It hurts. There was blood. It still hurts. OW.
Shins suck.

i'm not trying to bash your hopes or anything, but i can tell you, with as much as i've worked out, i've never had definition in the torso. arms and legs get definition like crazy, but no torso. even one year in highschool, when i dropped 30 lbs (13.6kg) i still had no definition.
i don't know what your goals are, but one way to cointinue working out once you reach them, is to not be satisfied with them. i'm not saying don't be happy. celebrate that you made a goal, but set another one, that way you're continually working.

i'm late for the gym now.

Posted at 3:08AM, Aug. 4, 2009

Ha!

Yeah that ab stuff takes forever. I have a bit of definition now. But exercise is SUCH a chore… I gave it up for a while pretty much. Then the other day I resolved to stop reading on the train to and from work and start drawing again instead. and go back to exercising again every day.

Well after agonising about getting a laptop, slate PC or netbook to do it on I finally just went out and got a couple of decent sketch books!

So now I'm drawing and exercising. Maybe now I'll see how much more definition I can get down there… I'm not going for the monkeyman look though. -_-

I'm not paid to go out there and stop riots, wade into fights and take bullets

Actually I am a security officer too. A security officer who pulls "guard" duty in an apartment building. I'm a tripwire and my job is to call someone else who is trained to handle the situation. My entire arsenal consists of a cell phone. Though I keep a Leatherman multi tool close at hand and on most calls I'm supposed to carry a huge bolt cutter to facilitate entry into apartments.

Most of my calls involve either maintenance issues or calling an ambulance. Then there are lonely seniors who just want to talk. I love listening. SInce I work overnights I get lots of Photoshop work and writing done.

So my set collapsed, which is okay as I have to strike is anyway for the next few scenes of shooting. Meanwhile my mother forgot her password on her new computer and I have to go help her retrieve it.

Posted at 7:08AM, Aug. 4, 2009

I keep a Leatherman

So you can give those crims a right good pinching!
That'll teach 'em.

I love leathermans, they're great tools. They're like Dr Frankenstein's pliers.

Ooo, I saw a minor Aussie celebrity on the train this morning… Well, a celeb for more intellectual circles I suppose: a fella by the name of Lucky Oceans. He does a world misoc show on the national public radio station "Radio National" here. You recognise him immediately by his deep American voice.

Thanks Seventy2. I think that's what I'll do. My brother's kinda ripped (not all the way yet), but he eats really well. So I'll just try eating better?

I heard Scene girls are horrible lays anyways and smell like a lidded curd of cottage cheese that was left out in the sun for days down 'there'.
I heard this on a site for virgins and anime nerds though.

I find that hilarious, because they wouldn't know what it'd smell like then.
At least anime nerds get laid sometimes…
…right? (I'm not one, but still)

I KNOW. I MISS HYENA ;____;

Hyena is a tough one to replace. :(

Trout was getting a bit predictable though…:

Oh no!!!! Why oh why is my life Falling apart? I have FIVE minutes to complete all my course work for this semester and just when I finally go to do it the program crashes, then my computer blows up, then the power goes out, then the entire building gets STOLEN, then the Russians dropped the bomb! ARRGH! It seems I'm just not meant to succeed, I'm such a looser, life hates me!!!

I admit his self depreciating failure rants were pretty funny though… Like a Frank Spenser figure that actually gets angry at what happens to him.

ianno, my younger brother doesnt eat well, but he is a hoss. (oooh, i think i can put that in the word thread). my youngest brother eats well, but he's rather large. (fat)

i eat somewhere in between. but it's not a bad idea to look for what works for you.

i passed my instructor evaluation, but it really didnt get into depth as far as my knowledge level goes (luckily).

it also rained this morning…but it's an overall nice looking day (too bad it's humid)
——————–

as far as life hates me rants, i could easily make a "mistake" and go back to the ones i was doing a year and a half ago, if we need someone to whine about how life sucks….

Posted at 9:08AM, Aug. 4, 2009

Does anybody actually know where he is though? I'd like to establish that he's still alive before I contribute to this good natured ribbing. :(

Posted at 10:08AM, Aug. 4, 2009

I've known a few people on the net who have subsequently died. It doesn't happen that often though, usually they just wonder off to pastures new for a while.

He probably just done a whoopsy!

Posted at 10:08AM, Aug. 4, 2009

I walked really far to Mme Tussaud's today and the line was ridiculous. It would have been upwards of two hours waiting just to buy tickets.
So we just went over to the Sherlock Holmes museum instead. Which was kinda hokey but I still enjoyed it. And we stopped in lots of parks and got ice cream and whatnot so it wasn't a bad day, just a bit disappointing.

I just saw a so-called "Catholic School" magazine that thinks Al Gore's Inconvenient Truth is right and that global warming exists. At the same time, its full of propaganda about how great the U.N. is. And sustainability this and that and how great it is to have carbon taxes. The only thing thats missing is the part about the need to reduce the population and promote contraception and abortion.

Huh? what happened to being pro-family and pro-life and serving God?

The U.N. is the most anti-family, anti-life, and anti-God organization on this planet.

If your church supports the U.N., that is a false church. Do not put money in the collection box. Their pews should be empty until they agree to preach the truth about the United Nations.
