He is one of my favorite speakers. I got to see him live once, it was pretty magical.

I waited all day to get my new memory in the mail for my iMac (8GB), and turns out it was delivered to the leasing office. Had to call tech support for the shipping company just to be able to find that out. Glad to know they didn't even say there was a package for me when I went to the office today. Splendid. Have to wait another full day just to install memory that's already here that I can't get to because the office is closed.

My new expensive toy.

I just self painted my nails for the first time in like... 10 years? IT LOOKS SO BAD. I think I should just take it off and ask my sister to do it for me...

ya need to learn sometime, isnt that a woman required thingy? i couldnt imagine what kind of a job id do if i had to paint my nails, i have absolutely no artistic talent with paint. i dont know why you ladies do that anyway, i like em just plain.

Yeah, I don't understand it either. Sometimes it's nice because you can make it sparkly and that's distracting and fun, or get designs that are interesting, but just for everyday things? I don't understand. I just had to surprise my parents - picked them up at the airport today with a dress, nails done, sandals, and hair looking decent. They were shocked (to say the least) which was the intention.

I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaaack.

The internet went out earlier this morning(was probably off last night too). I thought it was Time Warner suckage, but apparently there were wind storms, so bam no net(it's back now obviously, woo). So I decided to mess around in RPG Maker VX Ace.

It's not really an awesome video, it's also not really worthy of its own RPGM General topic, but hey, it was fun to make at least. The description says it all.



Also, I love being able to use Hypercam 3 now with the fixed audio setup. Makes it so much easier to do random unedited videos.

And another fun note- I started playing with RPGM1 again. Pretty darn fun(a lot more fun now that I get more of the eventing functions than I ever did in the past.)

Saw Stereopony in concert last night.

Oh holy god boner.

Hurray I'm sick.

Actually not hurray. I just have super extended migraine type symptoms. Ergo, Easter bedtime for me, yo.

My hands hurt so damn much.

maybe you should start using the other one. and eat more bananas so it doesn't cramp up in the middle of your.... fun.

I never have that problem. I'm strong when it comes to that.

@Fay's RPGMVXA video: Isn't that puzzle a puzzle from Lufia 2? I think even the hint you gave in the video was the same.

Yup! I just wanted to try and copy that with RPGM. I believe the Lufia II one calls for pots on switches in addition to that. I don't know on the hint- I didn't check. Though if it is, I'll feel awesome for remembering it with no reference haha.

Sumi wrote, back about three-and-a-half months ago:


I did, but no longer, I fear, Miss Sumi. That kind of endearing romantic behavior (at least I thought it was) eventually proved unwanted by the one whom I had referred to as the beautiful pony-tailed waitress Nia. The last time she met my gaze, there definitely was no smile on her face. Wearing such a "my god, is he still around?" frown instead, she suddenly did not appear so cute any longer.

Whatever the reason for her change of heart (or for her hiding the fact that she actually never wished to see me outside of her workplace, which she once said she would, over a month ago), I am actually going to have to take the more seemingly chauvanistic side of this turn of events and say, "She could've had a knight at her side, but it will be her loss, I suppose." (I can't help but say "forget her" in a somewhat nicer way such as that, being a Protector and all.)


Ah, well, I still have the more fond memory of being there at the Kita restaurant two weekends ago when the anime convention was taking place in Houston, whereupon I was so fortunate as to dine just one table away from a group of eight or so young women dressed like lolita schoolgirls, with the musical-note design dresses and hair ribbons and all. I let them know how precious they looked.

Besides, all this means is that there are cuter and sweeter Asian gals out there for a Protector such as myself. Goodbye to you, Nia. 'Hope you don't instead end up with some jerk who will only keep you around for his own selfish desires, for your deceptive ways. Although right now I think I have three friends who are much angrier than I am and wish all such curses upon you.

That really sucks SK. I dunno about curses(for I've never met the person, and although I have quite a temper I've learned to check it somewhat.) I'm sure you'll find someone who will appreciate your company a fair bit.

I often pondered asking out random women after my breakup, but it just wasn't meant to be. It's rather hard to broach the whole "So are you into women?" part of that whole song and dance. I actually tried to casually ask a woman I was so sure was also like me, but she ended up being straight and having a boyfriend, which ended in an okay friendship from college- but I just honestly get so socially awkward even trying to talk to new people. My relationship just kinda happened and clicked from a very kindred bond, so I wish that for you. It's a trite and often overused phrase, but we often find the people most important to us when we aren't even looking. Life is funny in that kind of manner. Who knows? She might be waiting for you at your next anime convention. I know of at least one happily married couple that met in that manner, a friend who was like a little brother to me and loved running around at those events and meeting so many people.

Heh. That would certainly be a strange first meeting place for my destined Princess to come face to face with me. I always did find attraction to a girl who could sport a good Aeris outfit like it was nothing, though. But I am grateful for your encouragement, Miss Fay.


But in terms of the curse upon her, I meant that Ix, Lantis, and Shadowfox were even more indignant about her wishy-washy rejection than I was, since I was with them this past weekend also when it happened, so they are all probably plotting curses against her even now. ^_^
