Should update you all on recent news and events if you care to read much into this even after I've stayed quiet for alittle over a month now. Lemme start from the beginning...I cant recall off  hand if I mentioned before that an old friend of mine from the 7th grade all the way till the end of high school decided to dislocate himself from his current home once again though this time on his own terms. James (or Surge if i happen to refer to him as such more often) sought to move up to Minnesota to be with his boy friend and hopefully have more fortune when it came to schooling and job opportunities. At first this brought unimaginable distress to me from it's sudden news and realization I may never see him again if he were to prefer it up there and have better luck with success than he did down here. Though as I began to finally come to terms with his leave and remind myself that this would not be a goodbye forever, there came a few complications towards his move for the first few months. Much like Emrys and his roomate, James' job hunt was dramatically effected by the recent job crisis taking most of the northern states by storm. The job crisis also effected much down here as well but not nearly as bad in Minnesota or Utah apparently. At first I saw this as a small relief in the chances he would return through such inconveniences. But as I looked at how serious these situations appear to be I realized this mode of thinking was not only selfish but insensitive as well due to my own inexperience in such things. I'm sure if I too was hounded by the economy I would be in just as much of a rut. So naturally I continued to hope for the best for James to strive through these stressful times. Though about a month ago James lead me with an interesting FYI one day; that he, his boy friend, and his roomate found better living conditions within Austin, Texas. When I heard this I could only smile brightly instead of proceed to a giddy yet embarrassing dance, primarily since Austin is roughly 5 hours away from where I live thus it would not be a common visit for me to his new apartment. Though I am still rather content to see near life long friend return back to a reasonable proximity to me. Because of this, we planned a few weeks ahead for me to visit him for an extended weekend once hes settled. So now for the next 3 days I'll be catching up a years worth of missed time and newly acquainting myself with a few of his recent buds. I feel as if the planets can rotate around the sun properly now as order has been restored to an extent...thank God hes not reading this right now. :P

In relation to my last post, there's a few things that are to happen soon that should contribute to such nerdiness. Last thursday some friends of mine from my local community college asked me if I would be interested in joining their D20 Star Wars game to pick up where we left off when the semester was still going on. Spent a good 5 hours over there going over every detail of what was left off, then had to wait for the DM to get there and finish with his summer class for the day. On top of that, Joseph (the one who invited me to the game) informed me that this Wednesday would be his birthday. Of course I try not to miss every birthday my group at school has since I'll never hear the end of it. Thus I proposed to Joseph if he'd like to hold Thursday's game at my house and I'd order food for him and the rest of us to make up for his birthday... Knowing the rest of them I think I might have dug myself in a ditch to be honest. ANYWAY!

The weekend went by with me simply picking up Knights of the Old Republic 2: Sith Lords again. Part of me regrets doing so for 3 reasons: Since I run Vista its a possibility that the game will have issues with it reguarding video capabilities even after I bought a computer just to prevent that; it takes up much of my time to even touch any other game nevertheless talk to anyone who doesnt use Steam; and to top it off...its wonderful material for a certain coonie/elf thingy to poke fun at my Star Wars addiction.

But what tops this cake over all leads to something that happened yesterday. I was overjoyed to hear that I would participate in another DnD 4.0 campaign with my clique online over Maptool. Passing the drama of who would DM, I had hoped a previous character I made would prevent more strain for the DM to work with... To my dismay it turned out to be the worse thing i could do, thus leading me to nearly changing up every aspect of my character to fit the approval of the DM. This didnt bother me to any extent as its understandable a beginner in DMing needs to keep things simplified, even let me keep alot of aspects of my character he could have said no to, though my peeve lingered more so of believeing this character was done wrong yet again. Causing me to put up a semi large fit over how dense I am to not even get a character made by myself right. This fit didnt last too long however as I looked over it again, only parts I issued with were very minor and easily changed. Hey, at least I'm getting better right? Though in this case that cant be a good thing if I'm trying to look like less of a dork...

It was once said by Sigmund Fraud that the first step in recovering from a problem is to admit you have one. But what does he know? He smoked pounds upon pounds of cocaine and ended up killing himself! But some people argue that I seem to have a small addiction to Dungeons and Dragons recently since I found some charm in the 4.0 rules. I say thats a complete and utter elaboration! Would you really call someone an addict when a simple attack roll is not sufficient enough to take down the remaining hit points of a bloodied Displacer Beast, thus spending an action point to reroll said attack in order to reduce the creature's health to 0% to gain proper experience throughout the party? I think not!

Wow its been...what? 2-3 years? Guess tose of your who are still around are freaked out from seeing a ghost huh? Either that or my means of talking to you has been in other places besides this. Whether or not that is Second Life, Trillian, or WoW remains a mystery to everyone but myself! However, there are some who still linger on my presence here too! Thus I attempt to come back and restore the deeds that must be done. Those deeds being ranting about my several pet peeves, more recently college, inconveniance of time for friends, and of course...well, err...you might be expecting something witty...but  I cant remember now! STOP LOOKING AT ME! I KEEL U! D:

A few things I'd like to add to good things going on like my previous post. A couple of weeks ago James posted on the Furaffinity art forum to a request. So I figured why couldn't I? At first I was rather sure no one would be interested in drawing an arsonist (figuratively speaking) archfiend like myself, until yesterday when I got back from college I received a reply on my forum post saying they would like to fulfill my request! This week is getting better and better...and to make it better for all of you, heres the longest and most entertaining GEICO commercial ever.

Yep, I've been rather content with my life recently, theres only been a few downers lately but over all things have been good for me. Before I explain the gooey rich stuff ill weed out the rough bitter stuff by typing them first. Since Emmy tends to be too lazy or inactive around Livejournal I'll post about it for him. Lately he's been a bit tense because of moments of lewd intentions from people around him. Though I've contributed my fair share of it to be honest for various reasons that you boys and girls aren't supposed to hear. Besides that, only other things left me miffed are that the PS2 Emmy sent me still hasn't made its way here yet, and James is getting a new computer and I'm not!...I need a laptop for crying out loud~. Anyway the good stuff! My first day of college wasn't as bad as I thought as I thought it would be. Sure I was nervous being in an adult program but I caught on quickly. Found a few of my old acquaintances from my old school and had some chats with them on and off. My schedule isn't too bad other than having to attend 5 days of the week instead of 4 like I planned but i got some really cool and nice teachers who their only beefs they could ever have with students is if they try to turn work in late. I even have an hour and a half to do whatever I want between classes. Though it mostly will consist of playing pool or studying up on my drivers test. I know I know, I need my license so freaking bad. But altogether things have been rather sweet and I hope they continue, maybe even improve. Oh and one last thing. For all those who play Counter Strike Source, I'm now a child of Amy! (AC)

Was there ever a doubt that I wouldn't get in to a junior college? I wouldn't think so! However I still have to apply for an emergency loan when I really dont need it. I really dont see the point in financial aid if you know you are not eligible for it. Either way today will require getting that loan for my classes, then next week its good bye sum

I know I keep going away without warning for months at a time. But I'm back again everyone, and to be put ill tell you everything thats gone on so far. I got my last credit for Chemistry B since I passed with a 90 average and I had my graduation party already last weekend. Was a nice little reunion with my family even if James didn't come. I also got over $500 out of it as well! But its all *gulp* college money~ Either way I'm glad to finally have money too. Now my primary concern is to get accepted into my junior college, start driving, getting a job, and MOVE OUT OF MY PARENTS HOUSE!..Ahem, anyway. Last few announcements: For Emmy, POST MORE ON YOUR LJ! Please...And for Spike, if you're reading this I stole your icon you posted last time to make an icon of my own. Sorry about that and do you like this one?

Turns out I have a four day weekend this time. My Chemistry B teacher told us it wasn't required for any of us to attend school today since many people were taking summer retakes of the state requirement test during the summer session. So I had another day to just sit back and relax. Possibly I'll make the early showing for Order of the Phoenix tomorrow, hopefully Emmy will give me news on how good the movie was. Also, like the Absol icon I borrowed?

I know I know, I'm way behind on the updates on here even though I said I wouldn't fall behind. So I think its fitting for me to give you all an explanation on the recent events from today. Along with whats been going on the past few weeks. First of all I didn't end up graduating on time after all, what with me needing a half credit left before I finish high school completely. However that will change on the first of August depending on if I pass my session of summer school for Chemistry B. Speaking of which I begun that today which resulted to be rather easy if I say so myself. The teacher is actually the friend of one of the Freshmen I know at my school so that brings abit of comfort as well. At the same time my classmates I met in my Chemistry A at my old school seemed to have the same idea of taking that class, plus some that I met years before. Anyway, this will continue for some time possibly until the end of the month when I finish the course. I'll try to keep updated as much as I can.

Sorry I havent posted on my LJ for a few days, I've been busy again. However this time it's critical; for those who don't know I will be graduating pretty soon (hopefully at the end of July) but in order to do that I need to do my part as well. Which involves me doing alot of work in a short amount of time. I need to get one more credit by the end of this week then pass my summer school session in July in order to pass. I'll be a free man soon, I can almost taste it...*mouth waters*

Yesterday I played a specific RPG mode on WarCraft III. It wasn't like all the other ones I've seen and I assumed it would take alot longer. It was a strait down to the bone RPG where you make your own city, location and everything. Of course you can still make your heros but you're not limited to just the standard ones. All and all it was a great mode to play in though I didnt make much since I was still getting used to it, but I'll be ready next time. And maybe I'll have more time to do it as well.

Inclusion of Sonic the Hedgehog

In August 2006, Sakurai and Miyamoto stated that Sega's Sonic the Hedgehog was the most requested third-party character to be included. Around the same period of time, Tips & Tricks reported that Miyamoto has stated Nintendo has actually contacted Sega regarding this, and that they're awaiting a final decision. Then, in the October 2006 issue of Electronic Gaming Monthly, he mentioned that, "Sega's hedgehog would be the perfect addition to Brawl's cast." An article in the first issue of a Swedish Nintendo Magazine named +N makes a report that the known confirmed characters will be in Brawl, along with Sonic the Hedgehog as a playable character, though the magazine's credibility is questioned. Yojiro Ogawa, the director and producer of Sonic and the Secret Rings was asked by the UK's Official Nintendo Magazine about to see Sonic appear in Nintendo's upcoming Super Smash Bros. Brawl and he said: "In my personal opinion, it would be great to have Sonic in it. But that would really involve Sonic and Nintendo's management, it's nothing to do with me!" Yuji Naka, former head of Sonic Team and the chief of PROPE has said that he wants to see Sonic in the next game. When IGN asked in an interview about the upcoming Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games as to whether or not Sonic would be seen appearing in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Nintendo Europe marketing director Laurent Fischer stated, "That's not on the cards at the moment." As of May 2007, it is still unknown whether or not Sonic will be included in the final production.

Hope you all had a nice Memorial Day weekend, I know mine could have been alot better. Couldn't sleep nor get on the computer at all really. Anyway you all might be wondering what the topic means. First of all on Pearl, I just cought the master of time, space, and alternate dimentions! Palkia!! Yay woot for me! WOOT DAMN YOU~...Heh, sorry. On a side note I just beat WarCraft 3: Reign of Chaos so now I'm on to starting a new campaine for Frozen Throne. Lastly the reason I haven't been on for the past 3 days. My aunt, uncle, and their friends came down from New Mexico to visit us this weekend. Now I have no problem with family coming to exchange hellos and say hi to, but when I dont have a choice to give up my room yet make it seem like I did I do get a BIT annoyed. Which also is the reason I couldnt sleep, unless you call sleeping on the floor a good night's slumber. Either way, they're leaving todayy before I get back from school so I'll be back to do as you all please.

P.S. Emmy's back! :D

For those who have seen the Cosby YTMNDs, heres alittle truth for you from the Diamond and Pearl.

There has been a few weird things going on this week. Not just because Emmy went to Florida to spend sometime and have fun with his (online) dad. But since hes departed I've been doing a few things out of the ordinary. Yesterday when I went home and my head felt better I went outside for some fresh air. When I went out there my outside cat came thumping along and mewed at me. She seemed rather playfull so I obliged with it. I started chaseing her around the house abit till she and I got tired. Then she started biteing me thinking I was still playing. It didnt hurt so I let her. Why is that weird? Well the last time I really played with my cat was when I was 15 which is rare anyway. Another thing out of the ordinary was I made dinner last night for the folks, it was just warming a frozen pizza in the oven. Though I never make dinner for everyone else in the first place. Although I think I could have gone light on the red pepper...So anyway, I'm not sure whats come over me lately, I hope it isn't the fact that Emmy is away which in any way you look at it doesn't make sense. Though I'm glad hes having a good time off and having fun I still miss him abit. Weird thing is, he signed on all in the afternoon and I had a chance to talk to him all I wanted. But instead I let him go on with his other loved one. Still its all odd. As Ron Burgundy would say, "IM IN A GLASS CAGE OF EMOTION!" Heh...not really.

Thats right kids, I got Warcraft III the other day while I was at James' house. I had saved up $40 for it since I've been wanting it for 5 years. Some might ask why haven't I thought of getting the game between those 5 years. Well unfortunately for me I dont get an allowance nor do I have a job, and when they DID have it in stores I never had the money. But finally my wait has ended, and no, just because I have the game that started the MMORPG doesnt mean I'm going to consider playing World of WarCraft, even with the demo for a 15 day trial it gave me. I wonder if I could sell it to someone desprate enough to get their hands on it...*evil grin*
