3:46 pm - I've come to a conclusion!
|
|
While reading through some old comics that I read as a child, I decided to start writing my stories again. Once of which I will post a small segment of on here. At the same time, I've thought up a new story to write. Which bring my current tally of books I want to make at 10. Technically 1 of my stories will span 5 Books or more. I doubt that I'd be able to get them published anytime soon, but I am hoping to have at least one book completed within the next year so that I can have some sort of feeling of accomplishment. Even if it is going to be my shortest story that will cover only 1 book.

9:06 pm - Strange Coincidences? Conspiracy? CHANGES!
|
|
Heard the song "Changes" by 2Pac while driving from school, and I realized that I haven't heard the lyrics to that song in a long time. Ironically, Half the lyrics are talking about now-a-day events and how things aren't changing. So either 2Pac was from the future, or the future loves 2Pac and made his song come true. He was talking about the Middle East and racism causing us to never have a black president. Which is oddly how everyone saw the world back then and which is why the song had a profound impact on society. The best part is that Racism and hatred between people has gone down since then. If you listen to the lyrics of the song, most of what he sang about back then has become a normal thing in today's society.

1:03 pm - What's the Emergency? The way you're going, it looks like one.
|
This last Sunday I was running behind on meeting friends and going out to dinner. We all kept worrying about time. Time for meeting, dinner, hang outs, and future planning. We had 3 hours before one friend had to leave to bid on something, and he felt that he might not have enough time for dinner and talking if we were running too far behind. We got there 20 minutes late, but finished dinner in under a hour and chatted for another 30 minutes before leaving. Yet during the discussions, we never talked about how late we were or how much time would be left. We just talked about meeting up the next weekend when my friends girlfriend is in town. Also about plans for the summer and anime conventions coming up.
It's not that we didn't talk about things in the past, but we were always talking about things in the future. Things in the past were just funny quibbles we brought up to add as a joke or a side note. Afterall, it is fun to think back on times when people had fun. The reason we were talking about the summer and anime conventions coming up, is once you have time to think things through, planning for the future is always something everyone ends up doing. Not only are you looking forward to those events, but you also want to enjoy your time at them properly.
Although due to time constraints and work, I might not be able to attend ACen this year. If I do end up going, there is a low chance I can make my usual drinks for the Guests. Not that I wouldn't try to make the drinks, but I might not be able to make as much as usual. I usually make drinks a few days in advance, and this time, it'll only be the day before. Although once I go to the convention, there won't really be much for me to do there. Talking with friends who are working, or chilling with the DJs before the rave. That's about all I have planned so far. I haven't really gone to a convention for the convention itself in a few years, so planning isn't something I feel is necessary. Since I will have tons of time and nothing to do, I'll probably just take a lot of random photos and probably drink a lot.
Not sure who'll respond to this, since no one responded to my last one.
If I get into town on thursday, I'm going to make 2 Drinks.
Shikae (Sweet Rice Malt Drink)
Hot Apple Pie (the usual)
Question I want people to answer is, how much to make, and how strong to make it?

4:59 pm - Every dream starts somewhere, but where do you want it to end?
|
So I decided to update after all. This was something I had been meaning to post over the weekend.
Kids growing up all remember being asked what they want to do when they grow up. Then some will try to aspire to those ideals. As we got older, we always though of more realistic ideals and where we want to be in 10 years. I remember back in high school, I had an ideal that I had hoped for myself someday in the future. One of my teachers had us write a letter to our future selves that we'd get from them during out High school reunion. Shortly after high school was over and I was a full time student and working, I had made myself a new sort of promises. I recently went to chicago to visit and found that old letter. I threw it out after reading it, but it reminded me of a lot of things. Like how simple I always thought life would someday be.
When I was in school in the suburbs, I always had the odd friends that no one like. Mostly cause they were the only ones who would talk to me. It wasn't so much that no one would talk to me, but that people thought I was too stupid and/or crazy. That didn't change much through Highschool. One part being that I was waaaaaay too naive. I had "friends" tricking me all the time. I seriously though that one of them knew Dennis Rodman back in the day. That and I was too shy to make friends. People had to walk up and talk to me first. It was a time that I look back to and think "Man, I was a super stupid dork." Although not much has changed. That last year of High school, two of my teachers said to write letters to ourselves that we'll get during our high school reunion. One was if we got 1 Million dollars. The other is for our hopes for ourselves.
I remembered this during college and wrote another one that I kept in my old box of memories (I seriously have one of those since I was 14). I recently found it torn up a bit in the box and read it. I was a seriously naive kid for a long time though. The letter basically was just my hope for my future. Working well and earning enough to support a family. Wanting a wife that would trust me because of how simple minded I might seem, but also protects me from my own stupidity. Also that I wished for 2 kids (twins if it happens), that look up to me and talk to me when they have any issues. Also some old things about hoping that my book would someday get published.
Reading that letter made me realize how simple life used to seem. Although working enough to earn for a family is a lot harder now. It requires a large workload, job experience, and dedication to work more than family. Even if I had kids, would I raise them right that they would trust my decision, considering I have troubles deciding for myself. Right now I'm working towards the right direction by paying off my bills, continuing my education, and saving up my money, but those old dreams will just stay dreams probably. In one more year, I'll be going to that high school reunion. I'm just wondering what I wrote in those older letters to myself. If they were anything like the one I wrote in College. Also wondering what happened to those old "friends" I used to have in High school. I've met at least two of them kind of recently, but it wasn't the ideal reunion I had for those friends too. Considering how unstable they both were. Well, one considerably more so than the other. I'm kind of glad my life is stable and normal. Although recent information about my family is making me think otherwise. I sort of wish I had the old LJ entries from years back. They were all deleted when my account was idle or something.
Sorry for any misspellings or grammar errors, but as it is just an online entry, at least it doesn't have numbers strewn across everything.
current mood:  contemplative

I've been recently finding myself at a level of boredom and questioning, so I've decided to use my livejournal account again. I'm probably going to weed through my listing of friends since I haven't used this in forever. Just small quibbles and notes will go in here, but it's better to have some more communication, other than just some friends from Facebook. Especially since I don't really talk to anyone anymore, even the random comments from LJ would be an interesting read.
Edit: Nah, scratch that. My life is so boring that even if I did put something here, it would probably be an update months from now.
current mood:  crazy

11:16 am - Dear Livejournal
|
|
It's been a while and I've got nothing on my mind. Work is starting to make me irritated, my life feels like it's hit a wall, and I finally realized that in NJ, the left turns aren't the only things that are stupid. They put the "No Turn on Red" signs on the sign post on the top of the post (It's technically in view of the signal). I guess being in states that have it lower for people to see almost in their face has skewed my perception of vision. I have to say that moving to New Jersey has caused me more stress than when I lived alone. I mean, having my bills almost paid off like I do now is a major plus, but I feel like I'm slowly turning into a homicidal maniac. I've been bored out of my mind on a daily basis. I keep myself indoors more than I used to. At least I went out to do something once a week. When I try to find something to do, I have to turn to the Korean neighborhood. It's a good thing I have money, otherwise I'd stay indoors forever. Also, how can I lose weight when the only activities I can do for fun is to eat at restaurants that make yummy food! Not that I'm complaining. It's come down to the not having friends in the area thing again. Hell, not even most of my friends are online anymore. If they are, they never reply. I've messages at least 30 different people per day to talk about what's up and NEVER get a reply. I'm starting to feel like how I did when I had major depression. I have to say that it's not a good feeling. If it wasn't for drinking at the local bar, I'd probably snap.

7:06 pm - Wandered off for a while
|
So it's been a while, here's an update. I live in North Jersey. I'm working a lot. My weekends are bland. That's about it. Current NJ antics include.
-Hanging out with people I know in Jersey
-Trying to find a new car
-Working and paying off my bills slowly
-Finding anything fun
So that's about it. Same info as usual. Leave comments if you like. I'm mostly lurking on Facebook now. I'll read more LJ and update more in the coming days hopefully.

Wow, my LJ has been dead, but unfortunately there is nothing really important in my life right now. So, I'm just gonna use this as a notice to people and for my own reminder.
For those that don't know, I'm gonna be gone from Chicago for a while. Moving to NJ at the end of the month and hopefully working and going to school there. Might not be back til next ACen or summer break, whichever is first. If I don't go to Korea for 2 weeks, I'll be in Barrington for a week or 2 with nothing to do and barely much cash except maybe to drive. This will be the last time I can hang out for a while.
And speaking of ACen, need to put reminders for others and myself. MUAHAHAHAHAH
ACen Debts
---
Nick = Doesn't owe me anything money-wise, but I'd hope to get photos from the Underground Groove and the Soap Bubble of everything that went on for the extra Apple Pie I gave. Throw some porn in too. HAHAHA
Jeff = I Owe $25 or a bottle of hot apple pie next time I meet him for letting me stay 1 night after drinking for 3 hours straight (Thanks Jeff).
Voltz = Owes me more hugs and photo ops dammit! I never saw ya at the Soap Bubble dude!
Lots of People = Owe me some hang out time... next year maybe or if you're in NJ for any reason.
Matt = Owes me sex as part of a promise and also MORE sex as part of a wager. I don't know why or how I bet double or nothing on not getting any action this year... I blame booze and hanging out with Jeff and Matt.

5:19 pm - In anime news
|
In case you haven't watched Code Geass, THEN WATCH IT NOW! Seriously, this shit just ended on a crazy awesome ending. Some will hate it, but the rest will love it for a long while. I mean, the Macross Frontier ending was nice cause, but then BAM! Code Geass ending just crushed it with how awesome it is. (Although I'm watching both over and over again...)
Also with the way Macross Frontier ended, I'm wondering if Sheryl and Ranka are related, because they never really answered that question. They did point out an interesting part for both throughout the series. Although it did end up ending as I though it would.

3:14 am - Damn Macross
|
|
Sucking me back in. This time they're doing a triple hold onto me. Making me remember Macross 7 and watch Macross Zero again. They finally pulled the "It all ties together" in the lastest episode of Macross Frontier. I hate to say it, but I had to go back to Macross Zero to find out how the story ties together and never really would have been able to say 100%. This is what's going on until they pull this episode on me. I'll just say this for now then. I think Macross Frontier will be the full continuation of Zero and the finale to explaining the ending of Zero to us. I never understood why Macross Zero ended as it did, but I am seeing a reason now through this episode.

10:09 pm - It's been a while. Here's an update
|
Work Work Work Work hanging out work work work work paying tons of money to different things work work work work work work and then up to current.
Seriously, my life has become a pattern of stuff I do all the time. I hang out less and actually have some money after paying for emergency stuff with my car and for food. Hell, I had my gas tank leak for a week and lost a lot of gas. I think it partially has to do with the fact that I don't have my Debit card. I have been using my credit card instead of the debit card though, so that sucks. Someday I'll have more exciting shtuff to post about. Otherwise, people need to visit me more often. X3 When the Sonic is built by my place, then more people might visit me.

Hana Ranman - Terra
DDR Supernova Revolution
And I can't believe they would remix Omoi Yoshino already.
And here I was thinking it wasn't popular enough. XD

Updates far and few apart. So the news. I'm in the new apartment, doing well, paid my bills, have some money for ACen, and finally less stress. Had the apartment warming (edit: It was on FRIDAY), and sucks to be the people who never responded to me about or to even come visit since they have my addie (Which was about 10 people who aren't 40+ miles away from the place). >:3 I had tons of fewdz and barely enough people to eat 10% of it. Oh well, more Korean fewdz for me. ACen is in another week and a half, so I'll see ya all then. Otherwise mostly stuck at the apartment to save money on gas. One tank is lasting me over a week so far. :D I filled up Friday and haven't had to refill the tank since. I used to do 3-4 fill ups every 2 week. Now I've done one in a week and still 1/2 a tank left. :D Still looking for another job though. Downsides so far are that I don't do much other than sit on my PC. My Wireless card is acting up, and I wish I didn't have my bills. >.> Damn things took $800 of ma moneh. Good thing I got that extra tax return thing... whatever it's called. Good thing I got it too, otherwise I wouldn't be able to pay some bills. x.x Watching tons of Anime and J-Drama. So much that came out this season, and I'm actually watching like 14 of them. Yeah... 14.. of the 23 released this season alone. That includes 6 Awesome J-Drama.
Now for random videos cause they're funny.
Macross F - Nyan Nyan Remix. You might have seen it already, but this is remixed!
Dear Sister - A SNL Digital Short. I dunno why... I can't imagine it as a spoof of a serious scene... I can't imagine it as anything really other than odd and brain melting.... still funny. Good thing I know what they're spoofing already.

3:00 pm - New Apartment!
|
|
I'd say I'm about 90% moved in. Just the small things here and there that I need to do to get moved in all the way though. I have to say the place is nice and I'm glad I moved in there, but at the same time it's like moving out for the first time and being worried if it's going to be all good, but I don't have many other worries other than that and wondering what kind of shampoo to get. Tonight is grocery shopping night and then video games. I've missed having my own room all nice and quiet except my speakers pumping music from my computer. So hopefully once we get all finished settling in, we might do a hou...apartment warming party.

4:11 pm - Moving out~
|
|
For those that don't know, I've been in the process of getting an apartment in Aurora/Naperville area. So now that all plans are set, Move out day is End of April! Whootz! This whole month is gonna be busy for me since I have to plan money, moving out, Cousin's wedding, and ACen is coming up as well. So pretty much once I move in, I can't really hang out unless people come visit me. So just updating my LJ so people know what's up. Once I move in I'll post an addie for people to come visit and hang out. Hopefully we can throw a housewarming party and people visit once we get all our things into the place and all settled in.

6:34 pm - .Hack//Research
|
|
Don't be fooled by the Subject name, just me looking up old .Hack data. I used to say all .Hack stories are all connected somehow and I just found out how GU is connected. Sort of explains the GU code name. The name stands for "Grow Up" according to the .Hack//Trilogy Special DVD. After finding out who Haseo is it makes sense for that code name now. >.> Damn you .Hack Project Group. So much story! And they were right. Kite isn't the main character for their series. Seems someone else that's been through ALL the stories is the real main character and has been. It was announced a long time ago, but I never knew what they were getting at. Now I know...
