See, I should definitely write every two or three days. Things happened, and I can scarcely remember them! [Bad username or site: fuggetlenseqghio2[w43etgeOhscrewthis @ livejournal.com] BETH came and visited me on Thuuuursday, which was awesome because she is one of my closest and oldest friends and always will be forever and ever so there.
Lets try that again; apparently I'm in an incoherent mood.
Beth came and visited! She brought Hannah, who I don't know very well (but I do like) and they spent the night because they had to bus out from S'toon VERY VERY early in the morning. She'll be back on Monday, too! And on Friday, my grandparents came into town and bought me lunch at work, then later we went out and did stuff with my sister. Then they had to go so Jen, Scott and I went to Boston Pizza for supper. :D After all of this seeing people, it is nice to relax for a day or so!
Uhhhh what else have I been doing? I had so much to write about!
Oh! I finished Tender Is The Night on Friday. It was... interesting. Good, of course. I'm sure that I wouldn't have understood it half as well if I hadn't just broken up with Sarah. IT WAS MY DESTINY TO UNDERSTAND THIS BOOK. It was actually pretty cathartic. I am by no means half as likable as Dr. Diver, but I couldn't help but notice a handful of parallels in the book to my recently ended relationship. Toward the end- at the point at which you know that its over, but there's nothing to really boot it over the edge. I'm definitely getting myself in trouble, here. Hee.
Speaking of the breakup, I was really surprised at first by my grandma's response to the news, although I shouldn't have been, knowing her.
"Good," she said. It's not that she dislikes Sarah (SHE DOESN'T, SARAH. I SWEAR). It's that she thinks that I'm too young to miss out on experiencing other things, other people. She really is an exceptional person, and maybe she's right. For both of us.
Uh, what else. FINALLY REACHED WILY'S LEVEL- JESUS THAT MONSTER THING IS HARD TO FIGHT! D<
Also, the translation of BN4 is noticeably more clumsy than that of BN3. It's too bad, really! But still fun.
Tum tum tum, what else. I'm sad that the Pokemon RP I'm in dieeed. I had such plans for Emira! I'm thinking of moving her over to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif) pokedressing, which accepts OCs. She'd be madly out of place, but oh well! It's just a crack-community anyway.
I've been collecting quotes, recently. I like quotes! But it's really unsatisfying t-WAS THAT THUNDER? AWESOME! I HAD NO IDEA WE HAD A STORM BREWING!-o just rip them out of a book of quotes. Context is so important. It's inspired by a few different sources- Watership Down starts every chapter with a quote. Mrs. Who* speaks almost solely in -LIGHTNING WOOO- quotations. Other... books... there's another book or series that is important to me that does the same as Watership Down, but I can't remember what it is at the moment! But these are all reasons! I've been writing the quotes down in my little book that I take everywhere and I will always have them on hand. Quotes that are too large to get down just get bookmarked.
Only one week left at Sobeys! Thank god! Bizarrely-Nice-Guy definitely thinks I hate him, though. I'm awful at that job, even when I'm medicated.
Um.
Have a quote.
"He stayed in the big room a long time listening to the buzz of the electric clock, listening to time."
-Tender Is The Night, by F. Scott Fitzgerald.
Tch. They all lose so much to a lack of context. But this line really did jump out at me.
Have something from my Latin text, as well.
"vitia erunt donec homines."
-Tacitus
Or, in English, "While there are humans, there will be faults." It's rather obvious, I suppose.
*No relation to the Doctor. Althoooough...

SUDDENLY: FRIENDS EVERYWHERE! =D This is awesome!
Will and Josh came and visited today! (These are friends from my home city, for those of you who don't know me / them in real life.) It's a good thing that my work today went from 8-5, because that gave us all evening to do stuff. We went out for ice cream and played Super Smash Bros and Mega Man! XD They helped me get to Dr. Wiley, and I will beat the old geezer in a matter of days, I am sure of it!
XD You know how a post or two ago I said, 'just call a day hour or two ahead of time?' This was more like fifteen minutes. It rocked. I am so glad that people are moving to this city for the start of next term! Then I'll be able to do this more often! XD My day was made! I am using exclamation marks excessively!
Oh, I handed in my two weeks' notice at Sobeys. My last day will be the 24th, and then I'll have time to start slacking off before university gets going. I am more sad about this than I should be, to be honest.
Started Megaman BN4 the other day- wow, it is weird to not have all of my battlechips from the previous game! :O But I'm rebuilding my collection! I like that in this game, you can actually fight ordinary Navi's, who use some of the same moves that you do.
EDIT: PS. XD Haha, for the record, I would totally be forgetting that the Olympics are on if it weren't for me making D:< faces every time that I hear about China twisting its way into censoring foreign broadcasts. I know that I will never be able to think of this Olympics without remembering that! Can you tell I don't care much for sports?
RETURN OF THE EDIT: Back to Megaman, I totally 'aww,' that Lan has a picture of himself and Hub in his room, as well as a picture of his grandpa. And is that Bass in the poster on the wall of Higsby's shop? I THINK SOOOO! :D HI BASS!Current Mood:  tired

Making lots of stupid mistakes recently, but not with anything really important. For example, showed up to work bright and early at nine today as usual only to learn that it is a stat holiday (GJ, SELF) and that I didn't have to be there until eleven. No harm done, and I got to spend a few hours sitting around playing Megaman BN3 (which I'm getting near finishing!). But still, a stupid mistake.
It's handy that Sinfest posted this comic, which pretty much summarizes how I've been feeling.
Speaking of Megaman, but a different game, asdghwog Elecman is so hard! DDD: I think that he's the first boss in Megaman who is harder to beat than the level you have to go through to meet him.
I've been remembering to eat! Go self! Haha, last night I had to choose between food and sleep, because midnight rolled around and I was like, 'oh yeah, food. :B' So I stayed up and made pasta.
Thank you guys for your responses to my post from the other day! It's been very interesting, and everyone who hasn't responded should do it now.
NOW SLEEP.
PS. JERRY, THANK YOU FOR COMING TO VISIT! DO IT AGAIN ANY TIME! In fact, anyone can come and visit me, just let me know a few days hours ahead of time!
OKAY, NOW SLEEP.

Oh man. Someone on my roleplaying site is playing Rosemary from Metal Gear Solid, and it's like everything she (Rose) says makes me want to just punch her in the gut. I HATE YOU FOREVER, ROSE. RAIDEN DOESN'T LIKE YOU BECAUSE YOU MESSED WITH HIS HEAD REALLY BADLY. ALSO, WHILE HE IS TRYING TO AVOID BEING KILLED IS THE WRONG TIME TO TALK ABOUT YOUR RELATIONSHIP. GEEZE, LADY! D<
I've always hated Rose so the player is clearly doing a good job!
Uhh, I totally had more to write about.
( Ah, here we go... )
I had more to write about, but it's long gone. :VCurrent Music: Mambolawyer

I have just under an hour before I have to leave for work, and I don't know what to doooo.
It occurs to me that I'm getting pretty good at this 'keeping a journal' thing. I think that the trick is to pretend that you're telling an audience, no matter how boring and inconsequential whatever you're writing is. But I'm updating like four times a week, now! Not too long ago, I updated four times in a month.
Oh! We had a chipmunk in Sears the other day! They managed to catch it eventually. No idea how it got in or anything, but seriously. A chipmunk! Maybe it's what I saw the other day- I thought it looked too large for a mouse.
So, this seems to be as good a plan as any for after I graduate.
What else of a totally inconsequential nature can I write about? I'm still having nosebleeds all the time. Happened at work yesterday, and in the shower this morning, and last night... Believe me, my friends, the shower is the last place you want a nosebleed, despite the easy clean-up.
When I got home from work last night, I had this crazy headache. |< So I went to bed earlier than usual... and then, on the one day of the week for which I can sleep in, woke up totally on my own at 8:00. Dangit, self! Enjoy sleeping in 'till ten while you can!
Oh! I haven't yet written that I got a game I've been hoping to find! The Megaman Anniversary Collection, which is to say every classic Megaman game since the dawn of time. I am crazy-thrilled over this, because I was sure I would have to order it online. But no! Someone traded it in to EB Games. Mega score! =D
I've been thinking of finding some new icons. The ones I've got are fun and all, but they probably make no sense to anyone but me! Or I guess I could keep them and upgrade to a plus account... but I don't like ads. Even with adblockplus.Current Mood:  bored

So today Sarah's grandparents took us out to supper, and I had a bit of an inner dialogue (trialogue?) when we got our food. It went thus;
( exciting exciting )
I hate ironing forever. It takes forever because I am very anal about it and it is so unnecessary.
Jumping topics to Megaman, something that I love in games is totally inconsequential little details. There's a thing in this game called a 'Humor Chip,' and if you equip it and press the button to talk to Megaman instead of the usual, 'This is what you should be doing, forgetful player Lan' he makes awful jokes! XD PUNS, ladies and gentlemen. And some of them are actually clever. Did I mention I like good wordplay? And it's only improved by the fact that Lan tells him he's awful and that he should rip out his batteries for his terrible jokes. 8D I should transcribe a few for you guys so you can be all, 'I wish ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif) eibborn had batteries so I could rip them out. >|'
I totally found Niente in my jacket pocket. I guess she's been missing since April!Current Mood:  :B

So uh Protoman's theme here is all kinds of sexy. It's jazzy and broody, which I really do like. And I do love melodic themes! Actually, I'm liking a lot of the Megaman music I've found.
Now, who wants some songs about gay robots? [1][2][3]
...What? NO WAIT LISTEN! I don't have that much mindlessly upbeat music on my computer, or among my CDs. I have to search YouTube for stuff like that, and that leads to some kinda weird places! It's like Wikipedia, where you're looking up the location of Mauritania and suddenly you're learning new and fascinating things about the stomachs of goats.
Speaking of bizarre stuff found on YouTube, here's one for you Mario fans!
Well, men compete with their hearts!
No, I don't know why they've got Luigi making a Yoshi noise.
Back to Megaman, though, it's become a momentary obsession. I can't believe I'd never even looked at the series! I guess I'm more of a Nintentard than I thought. There's some good music here! Haha, I guess I owe this little obsession to kuna_emie, so thanks to ya! :D
Ho man, did I say I liked those songs above? I like this even more. I love OverClocked Remix so much. <3 Remixes remixes remixes!
Mm, this post is as much links as it is anything else!
We had thunder today, and then about three minutes of heavy rain and nothing more. Disappointing!
Oh, I woke up last night bleeding, and it started up again this morning. It's never been this bad before.Current Music: Blue Lightning Current Mood:  ;D
